Command Parameters

Global SIP Signaling Control Parameters

Parameter

Length/Range

Description


egressRemoveEnudmi

NA

Controls whether the SBC removes the enumdi (ENUM dip indicator) parameter from the egress Request-URI that the SBC inserts when the PSX does an ENUM query. The options are:

  • disabled (default) - The SBC includes the enumdi parameter in the egress Request-URI when the PSX does an ENUM query.
  • enabled - The SBC does not include the enumdi parameter in the egress Request-URI even if the PSX does an ENUM query.


egressRNParam

N/A

Enable this flag to send a Redirecting Number Information Element (RNIE) in the egress leg of the call per RFC3398 when the R-URI and the To header differ.

  • disabled
  • enabled (default)

loopDetectionFeature

N/A

When enabled, the SIP Stack performs loop detection on incoming INVITE messages.

  • disabled – The SIP signaling group processes the INVITE message.
  • enabled (default)

maxPduSizeValue

N/A

The maximum PDU size recognized by the

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
:

  • pdusize2kb – 2,048 bytes
  • pdusize3kb – 3,072 bytes
  • pdusize6kb – 6,000 bytes
  • pdusize15kb (default) – 15,000 bytes
  • pdusize32kb – 32,000 bytes
  • pdusize60kb – 60,000 bytes

multipleContactsPerAor

N/A

Use this flag to support multiple contacts per Address Of Record (AoR).

  • disabled – Only a single contact per Address of Record is supported.
  • enabled (default) – The SBC maintains different RCBs for each new registration and verifies the source IP address and port during Registration Control Block (RCB) lookup.

The SBC supports validating the source IP address and the port even if multipleContactsPerAor flag is disabled. The SBC also supports locating the RCB using the AoR to perform additional validation on the source IP address and port if the parameter requireRegistration is set to "required" or "required-non-priority". This is applicable for both calls and OOD requests that are originated from the IAD.

In case of refresh registration that is originated from a different IP/port, the SBC forwards the request to the registrar and move the sate to "UPDATING". Any calls or OOD requests that are originated from the IAD while the RCB is in updating state must be validated using the previously authenticated IP/port.

When the flag multipleContactsPerAor is enabled, the SBC maintains different RCBs for each new registration. A registration is considered new when the source IP/port of the REGISTER request is different from earlier registration for the same AoR. Any of the registered UEs may initiate a communication on behalf of the AoR, and the SBC fetches the corresponding RCB based on source IP port of the UE.

Note: Refer to Multiple Contacts per AoR feature page for additional details.

Note: Even though the default value of multipleContactsPerAor is "enabled", during an upgrade the value can be either "enabled" or "disabled".


registrarSupportContactParam

N/A

Enable flag to support parameters in the Contact header:

  • disabled – Parameters in the Contact header are not supported. This value is provided only for backwards compatibility.
  • enabled (default) – Parameters in the Contact header are supported.

send503DuringSwitchoverN/A

Use this flag to control the sending of 503 message during a switchover.

  • disabled – The request is dropped with no 503 messages sent for Invites.
  • enabled (default) – Send 503 message during a switchover.

Note: The Retry-after tag is set to 60 seconds once the 503 message is sent.


sendDeRegisterContactAsStar N/A

Enable this flag to allow the

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
to send the Contact header as a star (*) in DEREGISTER messages if multipleContactsPerAor is disabled.

  • disabled
  • enabled (default)

sendSurrogateUnRegAfterRebootN/A

Enable flag to trigger de-register messages to all AORs configured to use the Surrogate Registration feature after a reboot.

  • disabled (default)
  • enabled

suppressErrorInfoHdr

N/A

Enable flag to suppress Error-Info header in a response to a request message with syntax error.

  • disabled (default) – The SBC includes Error-info header in the response.
  • enabled –  The SBC does not include Error-Info header in an error status. 

surrogateRegisterPacingTime0-10000

Use this parameter to specify the time gap, in milliseconds, between a final response of surrogate register and the next surrogate register message sent across all peers. (default = 0, disabled)

If surrogate registration is active and you wish to disable pacing, first disable surrogate registration for each peer using following command syntax:


% set addressContext <AC name> zone <zone name> ipPeer <peer name> surrogateRegistration state disabled


Note: Fully research the feature to understand pacing semantics before using it. This setting is not required in generic deployments. Pacing is applied to all surrogate REGISTER requests generated for all surrogate AoRs.


ucidNodeId

1-32767

UCID Node Id used to generate the UCID in the User-to-User Header. (default = 0)


offerAnswerTimer10 - 300 seconds

Specify the number of seconds for the 

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
to wait for the Offer-Answer handshake to complete before timing out.    

Once configured, the 

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
uses this value for all subsequent calls.

For backward compatibility, set the offerAnswerTimer to its default value for SIP signaling gateway.

Default: 20 seconds

Note:

The offerAnswerTimer goes beyond transaction timeout value only for Re-INVITE  transactions. For Media Resource Function timer (MRF) calls, if the offerAnswerTimer value has a value more than MRF timer value,  which is currently hard coded to 72 seconds , the call disconnects on MRF timer timeout, irrespective of the offerAnswerTimer timer value.


Command Example

To display the global configuration of all SIP signaling control parameters:

% show global signaling sipSigControls
    loopDetectionFeature         enabled;
    registrarSupportContactParam enabled;
    suppressErrorInfoHdr         enabled;
    maxPduSizeValue              pdusize3kb;
    egressRNParam                enabled;
    multipleContactsPerAor       enabled;
    surrogateRegisterPacingTime  enabled;
    ucidNodeId                   13;
    offerAnswerTimer             28
     }

Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC)

SRVCC provides the ability to transition a voice call from the VoIP/IMS packet domain (LTE) to the legacy circuit domain. Variations of SRVCC are being standardized to support both GSM/UMTS and CDMA 1x circuit domains. For an operator with a legacy cellular network who wishes to deploy IMS/VoIP-based voice services in conjunction with the rollout of an LTE network, SRVCC offers VoIP subscribers with coverage over a much larger area than would typically be available during the roll-out of a new network.

Command Syntax

The SBC can be configured in a signaling-only mode so that the SBC participates in the exchange of signaling messages that set up a call but does not reserve or allocate any media resources for the session. The media component of the session is handled as direct media between the call participants.

Command Syntax

% set global signaling sigOnlyMode sigOnlyModeValue <global | off>

Command Parameters


Signaling Only Mode Parameter

ParameterDescription

sigOnlyModeValue

This global option controls whether the SBC is in signaling-only mode. The options are:

  • global - places the SBC in signaling only mode and automatically enables direct media on all trunk groups and all IPSPs.
  • off (default)

Command Example

% set global signaling sigOnlyMode sigOnlyModeValue global

Command Parameters

Global SIP Signaling Control Parameters

Parameter

Length/Range

Description


egressRemoveEnudmi

NA

Controls whether the SBC removes the enumdi (ENUM dip indicator) parameter from the egress Request-URI that the SBC inserts when the PSX does an ENUM query. The options are:

  • disabled (default) - The SBC includes the enumdi parameter in the egress Request-URI when the PSX does an ENUM query.
  • enabled - The SBC does not include the enumdi parameter in the egress Request-URI even if the PSX does an ENUM query.


egressRNParam

N/A

Enable this flag to send a Redirecting Number Information Element (RNIE) in the egress leg of the call per RFC3398 when the R-URI and the To header differ.

  • disabled
  • enabled (default)

loopDetectionFeature

N/A

When enabled, the SIP Stack performs loop detection on incoming INVITE messages.

  • disabled – The SIP signaling group processes the INVITE message.
  • enabled (default)

maxPduSizeValue

N/A

The maximum PDU size recognized by the

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
:

  • pdusize2kb – 2,048 bytes
  • pdusize3kb – 3,072 bytes
  • pdusize6kb – 6,000 bytes
  • pdusize15kb (default) – 15,000 bytes
  • pdusize32kb – 32,000 bytes
  • pdusize60kb – 60,000 bytes

multipleContactsPerAor

N/A

Use this flag to support multiple contacts per Address Of Record (AoR).

  • disabled – Only a single contact per Address of Record is supported.
  • enabled (default) – The SBC maintains different RCBs for each new registration and verifies the source IP address and port during Registration Control Block (RCB) lookup.

The SBC supports validating the source IP address and the port even if multipleContactsPerAor flag is disabled. The SBC also supports locating the RCB using the AoR to perform additional validation on the source IP address and port if the parameter requireRegistration is set to "required" or "required-non-priority". This is applicable for both calls and OOD requests that are originated from the IAD.

In case of refresh registration that is originated from a different IP/port, the SBC forwards the request to the registrar and move the sate to "UPDATING". Any calls or OOD requests that are originated from the IAD while the RCB is in updating state must be validated using the previously authenticated IP/port.

When the flag multipleContactsPerAor is enabled, the SBC maintains different RCBs for each new registration. A registration is considered new when the source IP/port of the REGISTER request is different from earlier registration for the same AoR. Any of the registered UEs may initiate a communication on behalf of the AoR, and the SBC fetches the corresponding RCB based on source IP port of the UE.

Note: Refer to Multiple Contacts per AoR feature page for additional details.

Note: Even though the default value of multipleContactsPerAor is "enabled", during an upgrade the value can be either "enabled" or "disabled".


registrarSupportContactParam

N/A

Enable flag to support parameters in the Contact header:

  • disabled – Parameters in the Contact header are not supported. This value is provided only for backwards compatibility.
  • enabled (default) – Parameters in the Contact header are supported.

send503DuringSwitchoverN/A

Use this flag to control the sending of 503 message during a switchover.

  • disabled – The request is dropped with no 503 messages sent for Invites.
  • enabled (default) – Send 503 message during a switchover.

Note: The Retry-after tag is set to 60 seconds once the 503 message is sent.


sendDeRegisterContactAsStar N/A

Enable this flag to allow the

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
to send the Contact header as a star (*) in DEREGISTER messages if multipleContactsPerAor is disabled.

  • disabled
  • enabled (default)

sendSurrogateUnRegAfterRebootN/A

Enable flag to trigger de-register messages to all AORs configured to use the Surrogate Registration feature after a reboot.

  • disabled (default)
  • enabled

suppressErrorInfoHdr

N/A

Enable flag to suppress Error-Info header in a response to a request message with syntax error.

  • disabled (default) – The SBC includes Error-info header in the response.
  • enabled –  The SBC does not include Error-Info header in an error status. 

surrogateRegisterPacingTime0-10000

Use this parameter to specify the time gap, in milliseconds, between a final response of surrogate register and the next surrogate register message sent across all peers. (default = 0, disabled)

If surrogate registration is active and you wish to disable pacing, first disable surrogate registration for each peer using following command syntax:


% set addressContext <AC name> zone <zone name> ipPeer <peer name> surrogateRegistration state disabled


Note: Fully research the feature to understand pacing semantics before using it. This setting is not required in generic deployments. Pacing is applied to all surrogate REGISTER requests generated for all surrogate AoRs.


ucidNodeId

1-32767

UCID Node Id used to generate the UCID in the User-to-User Header. (default = 0)


offerAnswerTimer10 - 300 seconds

Specify the number of seconds for the 

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
to wait for the Offer-Answer handshake to complete before timing out.    

Once configured, the 

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
uses this value for all subsequent calls.

For backward compatibility, set the offerAnswerTimer to its default value for SIP signaling gateway.

Default: 20 seconds

Note:

The offerAnswerTimer goes beyond transaction timeout value only for Re-INVITE  transactions. For Media Resource Function timer (MRF) calls, if the offerAnswerTimer value has a value more than MRF timer value,  which is currently hard coded to 72 seconds , the call disconnects on MRF timer timeout, irrespective of the offerAnswerTimer timer value.


Command Example

To display the global configuration of all SIP signaling control parameters:

% show global signaling sipSigControls
    loopDetectionFeature         enabled;
    registrarSupportContactParam enabled;
    suppressErrorInfoHdr         enabled;
    maxPduSizeValue              pdusize3kb;
    egressRNParam                enabled;
    multipleContactsPerAor       enabled;
    surrogateRegisterPacingTime  enabled;
    ucidNodeId                   13;
    offerAnswerTimer             28
     }

Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC)

SRVCC provides the ability to transition a voice call from the VoIP/IMS packet domain (LTE) to the legacy circuit domain. Variations of SRVCC are being standardized to support both GSM/UMTS and CDMA 1x circuit domains. For an operator with a legacy cellular network who wishes to deploy IMS/VoIP-based voice services in conjunction with the rollout of an LTE network, SRVCC offers VoIP subscribers with coverage over a much larger area than would typically be available during the roll-out of a new network.

Command Syntax

% set global signaling srvcc
    atcfUri (1-63 chars)
    callLingerTimer (1-32 seconds)
    eStnSr (1-32 chars)
	pstopsSti (0-32 chars)
