Tip

Include tel: in a msRTCSIP-Line AD search if the Sonus SBC 1000/2000's Active Directory Configuration Operating Mode is configured to either Online, or Updates with the Normalization Cache set to False. Do not include tel: if the Normalization Cache is set to True. See Configuring Sonus SBC 1000/2000 for Active Directory for more information.

Tip
titleAD Wild Cards

 

Note SBC supports the use of wild cards. This means that you can do partial matching in AD fields. The following is an example of how the =telephoneNumber= field is used to forward an inbound call to the user's new extension.

Scenario

Someone dials extension 3633, the four digits are added to the Area Code and prefix as well as the wildcard character, the result (User Value 1) is used in an AD query against the =telephoneNumber= field. The contents of the first =telephoneNumber= field containing the match string is then parsed for the last four digits, which are output from the transformation.

Call Routing Table

  1. In the WebUI, click the Settings tab.
  2. In the left navigation pane, go to Call Routing Table > (relevant entry).
  3. Select the appropriate Transformation Table in the Number/Name Transformation Tablelist box as shown below.

Verification of Call Routing using AD attributes

In order to properly verify the Sonus SBC 1000/2000 configuration, please follow these steps:

  1. A PBX phone (6228) dials the Lync user's number (3633).
  2. The call lands on the ISDN inbound Signaling Group on the Sonus SBC 1000/2000.
  3. The call is then sent to the relevant Call Route Table Entry.
  4. In the Call Route Entry, the incoming number is first transformed using the relevant call route entry (using the cached Active Directory user attributes) and is then routed to the relevant outbound Signaling Group.

You can see the AD usage in action via the WebUI log as shown below:
