Note

If you configure TLS and downgrade the system to a release prior to Release 7.0, the Exchange CA Certificate for TLS will be unavailable; you must re-deploy or upgrade to Release 7.0. Along with TLS configuration on the CCE, the TLS capability requires a loaded Root CA certificate and a signed certificate on the SBC.

Note

Any changes to the Configure CCE tab requires the CCE to be redeployed.

StepAction

Note

TLS 1.2 is supported; the following fields are required to configure TLS:

  • Primary SBC Transport Protocol. Options: TCP or TLS (supports TLS 1.2).
  • Secondary SBC Transport Protocol (optional). Options: TCP or TLS (supports TLS 1.2).

If TLS is configured as the Primary SBC Transport Protocol, you must run the Synchronize CCE/SBC CA Certificate task to allow a successful TLS handshake between CCE and SBC Edge. However, if TCP is configured as the Primary SBC Transport Protocol the Synchronize CCE/SBC CA Certificate task is not mandatory. See Managing Cloud Connector Edition Private Certificates.

Refer Support. Indicates whether Gateways support Refer for a Call Transfer scenario. Valid entries: Enable (the Gateway(s) supports Refer which can handle call transfer) or Disable (the Gateway does not support Refer and the Mediation Server handles call transfer).

Fast Failover Timer. Determines whether outbound calls that are not answered by the gateway within ten seconds will be routed to the next available trunk; if there are no additional trunks, the call will automatically be dropped. Valid entries: Enable or Disable.

Forward Call History. Indicates whether call history information is forwarded through the trunk. Valid entries: Enable or Disable.

Forward PAI. Indicates whether the P-Asserted-Identity (PAI) header will be forwarded along with the call. Valid entries: Enable or Disable.

  • 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. If you are in a time window dedicated to the to the Auto-Update, see Managing Update Schedule and Creating and Modifying PSTN Hybrid Site to configure the PSTN Hybrid Site and configure Auto-Update , you should use the command Set-CsHybridPSTNSite to set EnableAutoUpdate to $Falseto false.
