From the Settings tab, navigate to System > Licensing > Current Licenses.

For more details on Licenses, refer to SBC 1000, SBC 2000 Licenses.

View Networking Interfaces

The SBC 1000 supports five system created logical interfaces (known as Administrative IP, Ethernet 1 IP, Ethernet 2 IP, Ethernet 3 IP, and Ethernet 4 IP). In addition to the system created logical interfaces, the Ribbon SBC 1000 supports user-created VLAN logical sub-interfaces.

Ethernet 2 IP, Ethernet 1 IP  are used for this interop.

From the Settings tab, navigate to Networking Interfaces > Logical Interfaces.

Ethernet 1 IP

Ethernet 1 IP is assigned an IP address used for transporting all the VOIP media packets (for example, RTP, SRTP) and all protocol packets (for example, SIP, RTCP, TLS). In the default software, Ethernet 1 IP is enabled, and an IPv4 address is acquired, via a connected DHCP server or you can assign a static IP as well. 

Ethernet 2 IP

 Configure this Ethernet 2 interface as follows as per the requirement .This interface will face the Deutsche Telekom interface.

Configure Static Routes

Static routes are used to create communication to remote networks. In a production environment, static routes are mainly configured for routing from a specific network to another network that you can only access through one point or one interface (single path access or default route).

Destination IP
Specifies the destination IP address.

Mask
Specifies the network mask of the destination host or subnet. If the 'Destination IP Address' field and 'Mask' field are both 0.0.0.0, the static route is called the 'default static route'.

Gateway
Specifies the IP address of the next-hop router to use for this static route.

Metric
Specifies the cost of this route, and therefore indirectly specifies the preference of the route. Lower values indicate more preferred routes. The typical value is 1 for most static routes, indicating that static routes are preferred to dynamic routes.

Creating an Entry to a Call Routing Table

Call Routing Tables are one of the central connection points of the system, linking Transformation Tables, Message Translations, Cause Code Reroute Tables, Media Lists and the three types of Signaling Groups (ISDN, SIP and CAS).

In the SBC Edge, call routing occurs between Signaling Groups.

In order to route any call to or from a call system connected to the SBC, you must first configure a Signaling Group to represent that device or system. The following list illustrates the hierarchical relationships of the various Telephony routing components of a SBC call system:

• Signaling Group → describes the source call and points to a routing definition known as a Call Route Table
• Call Route Table → contains one or more Call Route Entries
• Call Route Entries → points to the destination Signaling Group(s)

Each call routing entry describes how to route the call and also points to a Transformation Table which defines the conversion of names, numbers and other fields when routing a call.

To create an entry:

1. Click the Create Routing Entry ( ) icon.

2. Set the following fields:

   Admin State: 
   Enabled - Enables the call route entry for routing the call, displays in configuration header as .
