The

platforms support Lawful Intercept (LI) functionality using one of the following solutions:

  • Centralized PSX solution consisting of an external PSX, a third-party Intercept Server (IS), and EMS
  • SBC ERE solution consisting of the ERE, a third-party IS and EMA

The

product
works in conjunction with the IS, as well as the ERE and EMA (or an external PSX and EMS) to provide call data and call content to law enforcement agencies for calls involving identified intercept subjects. When it receives matching LI criteria in a policy response from the ERE (or PSX), the SBC routes the call as directed and additionally reports call events to the IS. It also sends

media stream (call content) to an IP address provided by the IS.

supports three LI flavors:

  • Default LI
  • IMS LI
  • PCSI LI

The following table describes the Call Data Channel (CDC) configuration information required to distinguish between Default LI, IMS LI, and PCSI (P-Com.Session-Info) LI. It also provides the LI flavors supported in different platforms:

Call Data Channel (CDC) Model

The 

Spacevars
0product
 supports various flavors of LI and a generic Call Data Channel (CDC) model to support any new flavors of LI. The CDC configuration model is described as follows:

  • The CDC model includes two fields, vendorId and interceptStandard, to support identifying and configuring the various LI flavors.
  • Each Mediation Server is configurable to support both signaling and media interception. Separate configuration fields are present under the Mediation Server to handle this functionality.
  • The CDC model for a given mediation server allows media interception over UDP and/or TCP.
  • The CDC model for a given mediation server supports signaling interception either over TCP or UDP. It does not support both simultaneously.

 

In some call scenarios, Sonus network elements are not part of the media path. This is referred to as "direct media." When LI and "direct media" are configured on the

Spacevars
0product
, Lawful intercept takes precedence, and any direct media calls are converted to ordinary pass-through calls.

Intercept criteria are identified by an "Intercept_Criteria_Type" and "Intercept_Criteria" (or criteria ID) attribute. The

Spacevars
0product
currently supports the following intercept criteria types:

  • Directory Number
  • SIP URI

Associated with each intercept type are corresponding criteria IDs.

  • If Intercept_Criteria_Type is "Directory Number", then the criteria IDs are "Country Code" and "National Id".
  • If the Intercept_Criteria_Type is "SIP URI", then the criteria ID is "SIP URI".

To configure LI, see following pages:

Centralized PSX Solution

Solution details:

  • Required network elements: external PSX, IS and EMS.
  • User "calea" must be created on SBC before attempting LI provisioning.
  • User must login as "calea" in PSX to do LI CDC provisioning and target settings.
  • LI is not supported for Video and SRTP calls. For LI CDC provisioning, the
    Spacevars
    0product
    node must be registered with "calea" and appropriate password instead of using default "admin/admin" as the Agent login and password.

A separate license is required on EMS and/or

Spacevars
0product
to enable this service. Without these licenses, the APIs for this feature are not accessible. Only authorized users can access LI functions.

The following Centralized PSX diagram includes the

For EMS-related LI configurations, please see Sonus Insight User Guide and Insight Lawful Intercept Guide located at the Sonus Documentation and Support Portal.

SBC ERE Solution

The SBC ERE solution includes the following requirements:

  • Required network elements: EMA, IS and ERE.
  • User "calea" must be created on SBC before attempting LI provisioning.
  • User must login as "calea" in EMA to do LI CDC provisioning and target settings.
  • The "calea" username and appropriate password must be used on the LI server to perform LI target provisioning as opposed to default username/password (calea/calea).
Note

Only "calea" users can access LI functions.
