The NAT Direct Media Group is a collection of public signaling IP addresses for NAT devices supporting Direct Media (DM). A NAT Direct Media Group name can be maximum of 32 characters; however, “0.0.0.0” (IPv4) and “::0” (IPv6) are not allowed.

To allow Direct Media between NAT devices, or between NAT and Non-NAT devices, the following configuration is necessary.

1. Enable Direct Media Allowed Behind NAPT and DM flags at the Trunk Group level.
2. For Direct Media between endpoints behind same NAT, ensure the signaling IPs of the endpoints match.
3. For Direct Media across NAT devices, or from NAT to Non-NAT (Hybrid Networks), configure/group the Signaling IPs of the NAT or Non-NAT device (for Hybrid networks) in the new NAT Direct Media Group table at the Address Context level.

Direct Media is disallowed under following conditions:

• One or both endpoints are behind NAT and Direct Media Allowed Behind NAPT flag is disabled.
• If Direct Media Allowed Behind NAPT flag is enabled and Signaling IPs of the NAT devices do not match.
• Signaling IPs of the NAT or Non-NAT (for Hybrid Networks) devices are not grouped in the same NAT Direct Media Group Table.
• Address Context name of both endpoints do not match.
• If the call is a Lawful Intercept call.
