Configuring SBC Edge with Exchange 2013

Prerequistes

Interoperation Notes

The following instructions detail configuring both Exchange 2013 and Sonus 

• Exchange = demo4.sbc.net  (10.1.1.4)
• SBC = sbc2000.sbc.net (10.1.1.74)

Exchange 2013 Configuration

Use the following to configure Exchange 2013 to accept and process calls sent directly from

1. Connect to the Exchange Admin interface via your web browser.

    

    

    

2. Select Unified Messaging.

    

    

    

3. Select UM dial plans.

   
   
   
   

4. Add a new UM dial plan.  Add a dia plan to support the Exchange <> SBC connection. 

   Lync and PBX dial plans are different.  You should not attempt to use a Lync dial plan to support the Exchange <> SBC connection.

    

    

    

5. Create a UM IP gateway.  Create an entry in Exchange for the SBC gateway.

   
   
   
   

6. Modify the newly created UM dial plan.

    

    

7. Configure/verify Outlook Voice Access.

    

    

8. Add a UM Mailbox Policy to the dial plan.

   
   
    

    

9. Modify/verify the newly created UM Mailbox Policy.

   
   
    

10. Add a UM Auto Attendant.

     

     

11. Modify/verify the newly created UM Auto Attendant.

     

     

     

12. If a UM Hunt Group if a default does not already exist.

     

     

     

13. Add users to the newly created SBC dial plan.  Adding extensions is accomplished via a user's Unified Messaging configuration.

Configure the SBC 1k/2k

The next section covers configuring the SBC 1k/2k to interface to the Exchange server.

1. Browse to the Sonus SBC 1k/2k.

   
   
   
   

2. Create/verify SIP Profile.

    

    

3. Create a SIP Server Table for the Exchange Server.

    

    

    

    

4. Add the Exchange Server to the newly created SIP Server Table.

   
   
   
   

5. Create a Transformation Table and Transformation Entries to be used to process calls sent from Exchange's Subscriber Access (SA) and Automated Attendant (AA) to the SBC.  In the example below, no manipulation is performed on the calls received from Exchange.   Adjust your configuration according to your specific needs.

    

    

6. Create a Call Routing Table to process incoming calls from the Exchange SA and AA.

    

    

7. Create a SIP Signaling Group to process incoming SIP calls from the Exchange Subscriber Access and Automated Attendant.

    

    

    

    

8. Create entries in the Call Route Table.  These call route entries process incoming calls from the Exchange Subscriber Access and Auto Attendant.  Create a call route for every possible destination for Exchange SA/AA calls.

    

    

9. In addition to the above configuration that supports incoming calls from Exchange, you will need to create corresponding configurations to route calls to Exchange from other sources (such as PSTN and PBXs).  It is strongly recommended that transformations for Exchange SA/AA appear at the top any transformation table. These entries not only handle the initial calls to Exchange, but also the 302 from Exchange (used during the call setup).
   
   

   Not placing the Exchange transformations at the top of the transformation table may cause the 302 to fail, which will cause the calls to Exchange to fail.
