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 For additional feature functionality details, refer to Invoke MRF as a Transcoder for D-SBC.

Creating an MRF Cluster Type

To establish a connection between an S-SBC Cluster and M-SBC Cluster, create an MRF Cluster Type for more information on this type of deployment.

On the

SBC main screen go to All > System > DSBC > Cluster > Type. The Type window opens.

Creating a Policer Cluster Type

To establish a connection between an S-SBC and an M-SBC cluster, create a Policer cluster type. In the Type window:

1. Click New Type. By default, the Create New Type window for Policer is displayed. To create an MRF Type, select the Name as MRF.

Creating

an MRF Cluster Type

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 a T-SBC cluster, create a DSP Cluster Type.

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.

1. Click New Type.
2. Select the Name as MRF.
3. Select the State to enable or disable the profile. Continue with either the FQDN or IP address steps as appropriate.

To create an MRF cluster with a Routing Type of FQDN:

1. Select the MRF Routing Type as FQDNOn the navigation pane, click All > System > DSBC > Cluster > Type.
