Message translation tables allow rules to be put in place so that unusual message interactions during the ringing stage of a call setup can be manipulated such that proper ringback is provided to the originator of the call. For more details, see Message Translation Usage Overview.
To create or modify an Entry to a Message Translation Table:
- In the WebUI, click the Settings tab.
In the left navigation pane, go to Telephony Mapping Tables > Message Translations > Entry.

Incoming Message Panel - Field Definitions
Message Type
Specifies the type of incoming message. Valid options: Progress, Alert, or Connect.
IE Type/SDP Presence
Specifies the Information Element (IE) type/Session Descriptor Protocol to be matched and translated.
ISDN PI Present
Specifies whether or not a Progress Indicator should be present in the message.
PI Values
Specifies whether or not messages are filtered by a specific PI value or by a specified value. Available only when Yes is specified for the Incoming Message PI Present attribute.
Progress Indicators
One or more values may selected as values to match against an incoming message. Only available when Yes is selected for PI Present and Selected is specified for PI Values.
Outgoing Panel - Field Definitions
Send Message
Specifies when to send an outgoing message.
Message Type
Specifies the type of outgoing translated message. Valid options: Progress, Alert, or Connect.
IE/SDP Presence
Specifies the outgoing translated Information Element (IE) or Session Descriptor Protocol.
Specifies the use of media cut-through and when.
Specifies the handling for Early media status. Available only when the Incoming Message Type is Progress or Alert.
The available options for this filter are as follows:
- Any - this setting will match an incoming message regardless of whether early media has or has not been negotiated
- Negotiated - this setting will match an incoming message only if early media has already been negotiated
- Not Negotiated - this setting will match an incoming message only if early media has not yet been negotiated
For example,
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
can receive 183 Session Progress with SDP and a following 180 Ringing with SDP. Since the early media audio path has already been negotiated with the 183 Session Progress message,
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
can strip the SDP from the 180 Ringing. This can be done to either a SIP or an ISDN call leg. In order to do this, you would set the value of the Early Media Status to Negotiated. As a result, the message translation rule will only match calls if the early media path has already been negotiated.
You could also create a message translation rule that will match only if early media path has not been negotiated.
