Step-1 Step-1

1. SIP Profile

Select Settings > SIP > SIP Profiles

SIP Profiles control how the Sonus SBC 1000/2000 communicates with SIP devices. These control important characteristics such as session timers, SIP Header customization, SIP timers, MIME payloads, and option tags. The following figure shows the default SIP profile used for the SBC 1000/2000 for this testing effort:

2. SIP Server

Select Settings > SIP > SIP Server Tables

SIP Server Tables contain information about the SIP devices connected to the Sonus SBC 1000/2000. The entries in the tables provide information about the IP addresses, ports, and protocols used to communicate with each SIP server. The entries also contain links to counters that are useful for troubleshooting.

3. Media Profile

Select Settings > Media > Media Profiles

Media Profiles specify the individual voice and fax compression codecs and their associated settings for inclusion into a Media List. Different codecs provide varying levels of compression, allowing the reduction of bandwidth requirements at the expense of voice quality. The following figures are the media profiles of the voice codecs used for the SBC 1000/2000 in this testing effort and are shown for reference only:

5. Transformation Table

Select Settings > Transformation

Transformation Tables facilitate the conversion of names, numbers and other fields when routing a call. For example, transformations can convert a public PSTN number into a private extension number, or into a SIP address (URI). Every entry in a Call Routing Table requires a Transformation Table and are sequentially selected from there. In addition, Transformation tables are configurable as a reusable pool that Action Sets can reference.

6. Call Routing Table

Select Settings > Call Routing Table

Call Routing allows calls to be carried between signaling groups, thus allowing calls to be carried between ports, and between protocols (like ISDN to SIP). Routes are defined by Call Routing Tables, which allow for flexible configuration of which calls will be carried, and also how the calls are translated. These tables are one of the central connection points of the system, linking Transformation Tables, Message translations, Cause Code Reroutes, Media Lists and the three types of Signaling Groups (ISDN, SIP and CAS).

7. Condition Rule Tables

Select Settings > Message Manipulation > Condition Rule Tables.

Condition rules are simple rules that apply to a specific component of a message (for example, diversion.uri.host, from.uri.host, etc.) the value of the field specified in the Match Type list box can be matched against a literal value, token, or REGEX.

8. Message Rule Tables

Select Settings > Message Manipulation > Message Rule Tables

Message Rule Tables are simply sets of Condition Rules and are applied in SIP Signaling Groups when Message Manipulation is enabled.

9. Contact Registrant Table

Select Settings > Contact Registrant Table

Contact Registrant Tables are used to manage contacts that are registered to a SIP server. The SIP Server Configuration can specify a Contact Registrant Table and the username portion of the table can be used for outbound calls.

10. Remote Authorization Tables

Select Settings > Remote Authorization Tables

Remote Authorization Tables and their entries contain information used to respond to request message challenges by an upstream server. The Remote Authorization tables defined in this document Tables on this page appear as options in the Remote Authorization and Contacts Panel for SIP Servers.Creating and Modifying Entries in the SIP Servers (search online SBC 1000/2000 documentation).

11. Signaling Groups

Select Settings > Signaling Groups

Signaling Groups allow telephony channels to be grouped together for the purposes of routing and shared configuration. These groups are the entity to which calls are routed, as well as the location from which Call Routes are selected. These are also the location from which Tone Tables and Action Sets are selected. In the case of SIP, this will specify protocol settings and link to server, media, and mapping tables.
