In this Section:
The options on this window are visible and configurable only for distributed SBC deployments.
Use the Cluster - Type window to configure cluster profiles that define how the distributed signaling SBC (S-SBC) should contact its peer clusters in the D-SBC deployment. These cluster profile represents the policer (M-SBC) and dsp (T-SBC) cluster with its point of contact (FQDN). You can also configure a cluster to invoke an MRF as a transcoder for the D-SBC deployment. Refer to Invoke MRF as a Transcoder for D-SBC for more information on this type of deployment.
On the SBC main screen go to All > System > DSBC > Cluster > Type. The Type window opens.
To establish a connection between an S-SBC and an M-SBC cluster, create a Policer cluster type. In the Type window:
Click New Type. By default, the Create New Type window opens for the Policer type of profile.
If you later need to edit or delete a Policer cluster, first set its State to Disabled. Set the State back to Enabled after you edit the Policer cluster.
To establish a connection between an S-SBC and a T-SBC cluster, create a DSP cluster type.
Click New Type. The Create New Type window opens.
If you later need to edit or delete a DSP cluster, first set its State to Disabled. Set the State back to Enabled after you edit a DSP cluster.
The D-SBC can inter-operate with a third-party transcoding platform called a Media Resource Function (MRF) to transcode audio and relay video/T140. Refer to to Invoke MRF as a Transcoder for D-SBC for more information on this type of deployment.
To establish a connection between an S-SBC Cluster and an MRF, create an MRF Cluster Type. You have the option to configure the routing type as either an FQDN or as an IP address.
To create an MRF cluster with a Routing Type of FQDN:
Select the MRF Routing Type as FQDN.
To create an MRF with the Routing Type of IP Address V4 or V6:
Select the MRF Routing Type as IP Address V4 or V6.
If you later need to edit or delete an MRF cluster, first set its State to Disabled. Set the State back to Enabled after you edit an MRF cluster.
