CCE Deployment Scenarios

The following diagram shows typical CCE deployment scenarios on a PSTN site. The PSTN site is a combination of Cloud Connector instances, deployed at the same location, and with common PSTN gateways pool connected to them. PSTN sites allow you to:

Provide connectivity to gateways that are closest to your users.
Allow for scalability by deploying multiple Cloud Connector instances within one or more PSTN sites.
Allow for high availability by deploying multiple instances of Cloud Connector within a single PSTN site.

title	CCE Deployment - Using a Proxy on the ASM Host

If you plan to use a proxy on the ASM Host to reach Office 365, you must add the Management network (192.168.213.0) into the exclusion list and specify proxy settings per machine rather than per user.

Note

title	CCE Deployment - What to Expect

The CCE deployment may exceed two hours.
The CCE deployment status is visible only on the Remote Desktop to the ASM. The WebUI indicates that the CCE is running while the deployment process is in progress.
While the CCE deployment is running, you should not perform any actions on the ASM via the WebUI (i.e., Shut Down/Reset/Reboot/Reinitialize/Install etc.).
If the Office 365 PSTN Site already exists in your tenant, ensure the other Appliance is removed, and the CCE Auto-Update time window is properly configured. This time window should be outside of a maintenance time window for the installation.

Step

Action

1

Remote desktop to the ASM system.

2

Launch the Sonus Cloud Link Deployer from icon on the desktop.

3

Check the first three actions:

Transfer Password from SBC: This step imports the password that has been set during the Preparing the CCE.
Register Appliance: This step registers this new appliance on your Office365 tenant.
Install Appliance: This step deploys the CCE.

Select Apply.

...

After the CCE is deployed, integrate the Sonus SBC Edge and allow calls from/to O365 clients. In this example, the following steps will set up the Sonus SBC Edge the Sonus SBC Edge for:

SIP Provider (193NNN.168NNN.210NNN.103NNN) – SBC Edge (193NNN.168NNN.210NNN.125NNN)  – CCE (mediation Server: 193NNN.168NNN.210NNN.123NNN) – O365 Cloud

Build your SBC configuration

Step	Action

Redeploying the CCE

Note
Configuration changes to the CCE in the WebUI per Tasks > Setup Cloud Connector Edition> Configure CCE requires the CCE to be re-deployed.

Info
Backup the Public Certificate per Tasks > Setup Cloud Connector Edition> Import Certificate.

Re-Initializing of the ASM

The ASM must be re-initialized with the image that contains the latest CCE software . To do so:

Step

Step	Action
1	Login to the WebUI of the SBC Edge.
2	Click the Task tab, and then click Reinitialize in the navigation pane.
3	Select the appropriate image from the drop-down list and then click Apply.

Clean Office 365 tenant

If the CCE was previously deployed, previously installed information must be cleared in O365. To To do so, follow the steps below:

Step	Action
1	Remote Desktop to the ASM system
2	Connect the Office365 Tenant through a series of commands as follows: a. Execute the following command: `Import-Module skypeonlineconnector` `$cred = Get-Credential` b. When prompted, execute the credentials for O365 Admin Tenant. c. Execute the following command: `$Session = New-CsOnlineSession -Credential $cred -Verbose` `Import-PSSession $session`
3	Display all the Appliances assigned to your tenant, identify the Appliance you just re-initialized, and copy the identity into your clipboard. `Get-CsHybridPSTNAppliance`
4	Execute the following command to remove the appliance: `Unregister-CsHybridPSTNAppliance -Identity <paste the identity here> -Force`
5	Execute the following command to verify that the appliance has been removed: `Get-CsHybridPSTNAppliance`
6	This completes the cleanup.

Manually Managing the CCE Configuration File

...

The “.ini” file is the configuration of the Microsoft CCE (Cloud Connector Edition) running on the ASM. The contents of the ".ini" file must be as defined by Microsoft. From the Configure CCE panel, the the Raw INI Config drop drop-down list enables you to edit, export, or import the ".ini" file.

...

Step	Action
1	After receiving the activity status completion message, click the Click to re-configure CCE application button.
2	Click OK on the popup.
4	Click the Raw (INI) Config drop-down list, select Edit. Configurable fields are displayed for editing. Modifications to the CCE configuration requires redeployment of the CCE VM, and this action takes approximately two hours. Note: The example uses AEPSITE2 for the these attributes.
5	After verifying the information click OK.

Importing and Exporting the CCE Configuration File

...

Updating the CCE Password

Follow these steps if you if you need to update the O365 tenant admin password or account.

Step	Action
1	On the WebUI, run Preparing the CCE to specify a new Password. Select the existing password and enter the new password. Only the O365 should be modified for a running instance of CCE.
2	On Remote desktop, start the Sonus Cloud Link Deployer, and check Transfer Password from SBC to reset the credentials.
