DEFAULT_H323 Flags Parameter

 

Parameter

Description

Add PCharging Func Addr

This flag is deprecated and unused.

 

Specifies whether to add P Charging Function Address Header flag or not.

The options are:

  • Enable
  • Disable (default)

Audio Codec Change Through Empty Tcs

Enable flag to perform audio codec change (e.g. G.711 fax fallback) using empty Terminal Capability Set (TCS). When disabled, 

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
performs audio codec change using request mode.

  • Disable (default)
  • Enable
Clearmode For Data Calls

This parameter is used to enable the clearmode function for data calls. When enabled, the SBC 5000 series enables clearmode. When disabled, the SBC 5000 series provides legacy G.711 behavior.

The options are:

  • Enable 
  • Disable (default)
Disable Constrained Capacities

Set this flag to present a full TCS to its peer during call setup or media modification. When disabled, 

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
presents only the selected codec in the TCS, and follows up with a full TCS after media establishment.

  • Disable (default)
  • Enable
Disable Media Lock Down

 

This flag is deprecated and unused.


If SBC offers both pass-thru and transcode codecs, the Minimize Relaying Of Media Changes From Other Call Leg flag effectively suppresses the re-INVITEs to peers when the peer answers with a single codec. However, if the peer has multiple codecs, The Minimize Relaying Of Media Changes From Other Call Leg flag in certain situations can not suppress the re-INVITEs as change in one of the common codecs is detected. In these situations, if the SBC’s most preferred codec matches the peers most preferred codec, the Disable Media Lock Down flag can be used to suppress this Modify Offer. The Disable Media Lock down flag controls the modify offer initiated by SBC to lock down the codec. If this flag is Disabled, SBC sends a modify offer to lockdown the codec, if enabled, SBC will not initiate modify offer to lock down the codec. Refer to the Examples below.
 

The options are:

  • Enable
  • Disable (default)
Include G729With G729a When Offer Psp Has G729a

Use this flag to control whether the H.323 Service Group includes G.729 along with G.729A in the network offer when the 

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
offer Packet Service Profile has G.729A.

  • Disable (default)
  • Enable
Minimize Relaying Of Media Changes From Other Call Leg All

This flag is deprecated and unused.

The advertised Sonus SIP SDP is described as a set of capabilities that the SBC can receive. The SBC by default issues a Modify Offer ( re-INVITE, UPDATE) whenever it detects a change in receive capabilities. In certain scenarios, the Modify Offer can be perceived as redundant. Enabling Minimize Relaying Of Media Changes From Other Call Leg All flag suppresses redundant Modify offers being sent from the SBC.

When enabled, the SBC suppresses modify offers that have no changes to the “common codecs” that impact the end-user experience. “Common codecs” are codecs that exist both in the initial offer and answer. Changes to common codecs imply changes to DTMF, packetization time, codec specific FMTP attributes and data-path-mode. Refer to the Examples below.

The options are:

  • Enable

  • Disable (default)

Send Empty Tcs

Enable flag to send empty TCS to the peer to restart the peer’s forward channel in case there is an address update in the direct media case.

  • Disable (default)
  • Enable
Terminal Portability Interworking

When disabled, Terminal Portability Interworking service is disabled.  The service enables a terminal to be moved from one socket to another or a call to be moved from one terminal to another within one call while the call is active.

The options are:

  • Enable
  • Disable (default)
Send RTCP Port In SDP

When enabled, SBC 5000 series adds the attribute,a=rtcp:<rtcpPort> to the audio and video m lines in the outgoing SDP (Rtcp port mentioned will be SBC RTP port + 1). When disabled, SBC 5000 series does not add the attribute a=rtcp:<rtcpPort> to the audio and video m line in the outgoing SDP.

The options are:

  • Enable
  • Disable (default)

  • Disable (default)
  • Enable
From Header Anonymisation

This flag is deprecated and unused.

Use this flag to anonymize the FROM header of INVITE.  When disabled, the FROM header is sent as-is without anonymization. The SBC always relays the FROM header of INVITE.

  • Disable
  • Enable (default)
Contact Transparency For Is Focus Media Tag

This flag is deprecated and unused.

Enable flag to transparently pass Contact header in outgoing message when "isFocus" parameter is received in Contact header.

Support SCSCFRestoration Procedures

This flag is deprecated and unused.

SBC acting as P-CSCF rejects a request with 504 (Server Time-out) response carrying MIME body of type application/3gpp-ims+xml, if SBC does not receive any response to the request from S-CSCF network or the next hop address is blacklisted as part of ARS (Address Reachability Service) service (see IMS Restoration Procedures for additional details).

This feature also suppresses the re-INVITE triggered on the leg (on which it is enabled from the SBC) due to a MODIFY offer received from the other leg as part of mid-call codec modification.

  • Disable (default)
  • Enable

This flag must be enabled in conjunction with Minimize Relaying Of Media Changes From Other Call Leg All flag.

When this flag is enabled, the flag “Relay Data Path Mode Change From Other Call Leg” must also be enabled to propagate HOLD Modify Offers (any modify offer that changes the data-path-mode).

Send Only Preferred Codec

Use this flag to send a single preferred codec in an Answer for an Initial Offer or Re-Invite.

  • Disable – When disabled, the SBC sends all possible pass-through codecs in the Route Packet Service Profile when the call is answered.
  • Enable (default) – Enable flag on Answer side to send single preferred codec in Answer for an Initial Offer or a Re-Invite. Enable flag on Offer side to send the most preferred codec in a re-INVITE offer.
Suppress Min Se If Not Received

 When Suppress Min-Se If Not Received flag is enabled, Min-SE header is added to re-INVITEs/UPDATEs only if it exists in the previous offer/answer. When this flag is disabled, Min-SE will always be added to session refreshes.

The options are:

  • Enable
  • Disable (default)
Use PSX Routefor Registered Invite

Enable flag to route INVITE from the core to the received PSX route for registered users, but not to the contact address of the RCB.

  • Disable (default)
  • Enable
From Header Anonymisation

Enable this flag to prevent the FROM header of INVITE message from being anonymized. The SBC always relays the FROM header of INVITE.

  • Disable (default)
  • Enable
No Service Route Hdr For Emergency Registration

Enable this flag to deny SBC from adding Service-Route headers for emergency registrations even if Add Path Service Route and Create Service Route Header flags are enabled.

  • Disable (default)
  • Enable
Insert PAccess Network Info

 Enable flag to construct and send PANI with received location info.

  • Disable (default)
  • Enable
Contact Transparency For Is Focus Media TagEnable flag to transparently pass Contact header in outgoing message when "isFocus" parameter is received in Contact header.
Support SCSCFRestoration Procedures

SBC acting as P-CSCF rejects a request with 504 (Server Time-out) response carrying MIME body of type application/3gpp-ims+xml, if SBC does not receive any response to the request from S-CSCF network or the next hop address is blacklisted as part of ARS (Address Reachability Service) service (see IMS Restoration Procedures for additional details).

  • Disable (default)
  • Enable
Insert UEFlow Info

 Enable flag to send P-UE-Flow-Info header towards core.

  • Disable (default)
  • Enable
Accept Alert Info

 Enable flag for SBC to process the URI specified in the Alert-info header received in the 180 ringing message and use the tone specified in the Alert-Info header as the Local Ring Back Tone to play.

When this flag is enabled, the tones processed override any incoming tones in the media stream. For example, when Accept Alert-Info is enabled, the SBC plays the tone specified in the Alert-info header of 180 ringing message overriding the inband tones included in the 180 ringing message.

  • Disable (default)
  • Enable

Call Flow Examples

Call Flow Examples for 'Disable Media Lockdown' Flag

Example1:

In the following call flow, the Modify Offers (in green) are suppressed if the Minimize Relaying Of Media Changes From Other Call Leg flag is enabled:

Ingress Peer

 

SBC

 

Egress Peer

G711U

->

SBC offers G711U as pass-through codec and G729A as a transcode option by reserving a DSP channel

->

G711U,G729A

G711U

<-

SBC releases the DSP channel resulting in a G711U pass-thru call

<-

G711U

 

 

Receive capabilities of SBC have changed as a codec G729A was removed and the DSP channel de-allocated.
Default behavior is to send Modify Offer; to suppress, the Minimize Relaying Of Media Changes From Other Call Leg flag should be enabled

->

G711U

 

 

 

<-

G711U

Example 2:

The messages (in green) can be suppressed if the Disable Media Lock Down field is enabled.

Ingress Peer

 

SBC

 

Egress Peer

G711U

->

SBC offers G711U as pass-through codec and G729A as a transcode option by reserving a DSP channel

->

G711U,G729A

G711U

<-

SBC releases the DSP channel resulting in a G711U pass-thru call

<-

G711U,G729A

 

 

Receive capabilities of SBC have changed as a codec G729A was removed and the DSP channel de-allocated.
Default behavior is to send Modify Offer; the Minimize Relaying Of Media Changes From Other Call Leg flag cannot suppress this Modify Offer as a common codec in the original offer and answer (G729A) has been removed; To suppress this re-INVITE, enable DML

->

G711U

 

 

 

<-

G711U

Ingress Peer

 

SBC

 

Egress Peer

G711U

->

SBC offers G711U as pass-through codec and G729A,G726 as transcode options by reserving a DSP channel

->

G711U,G729A,G726

G711U

<-

Transcode G711-G729A call. Egress codec is locked down to G729A

<-

G729A,G726

 

 

Receive capabilities of SBC have changed to G729A due to transcode.
Default behavior is to send Modify Offer to lockdown to G729A; the Minimize Relaying Of Media Changes From Other Call Leg flag cannot suppress this Modify Offer as a common codec in the original offer and answer (G726) has been removed; To suppress this re-INVITE, enable DML

->

G729A

 

 

 

<-

G729A

Example 3:

Scenario in which Disable Media Lockdown field can not suppress the media lock down messages (in green).

The codecs configured at Egress route PSP are G711U, G726, G729A with HRP disabled.

Ingress Peer

 

SBC

 

Egress Peer

G711U

->

SBC offers G711U as pass-through codec and G726,G729A as transcode options by reserving a DSP channel

->

G711U,G726,G729A

G711U

<-

Transcode G711-G726 call. Egress codec is locked down to G726

<-

G729A,G726

 

 

Receive capabilities of SBC have changed to G726 ( i.e. HRP is disabled). Since, the codec selected by SBC is different from Peer’s preferred codec (G729), though the flag DML is enabled SBC sends a Modify Offer to lockdown to G726.

->

G726

G726

Call Flow Examples for 'Minimize relaying of Media Changes From Other Call Leg All' Flag

Example1:

The re-INVITEs (in green) are suppressed if the Minimize Relaying Of Media Changes From Other Call Leg flag is enabled.

Ingress Peer

 

SBC

 

Egress Peer

G711U

->

SBC offers G711U as pass-through codec and G729A as a transcode option by reserving a DSP channel

->

G711U,G729A

G711U

<-

SBC releases the DSP channel resulting in a G711U pass-thru call

<-

G711U

 

 

Receive capabilities of SBC have changed as a codec G729A was removed; send Modify Offer to Peer to advertise the latest set of capabilities

->

G711U

 

 

 

<-

G711U

Example2:

SBC suppresses a Modify Offer from the ingress peer. The offer changes the maxptime from 10 to 20ms. An increase in maxptime can be suppressed – a device that advertises a maxptime of 20ms can also receive 10ms packets.

Ingress Peer

Suppress the re-INVITE if minimize media is enabled and respond to ingress peer; else forward the re-INVITE to egress

->

G711U 20ms

G711U

<-

 

<-

G711U

Conversely, irrespective of the state of the Minimize Relaying Of Media Changes From Other Call Leg flag All field cannot suppress a change of maxptime from 20ms to 10ms.

Example3:

A change of data-path-mode from sendrecv to sendonly ( HOLD request) can also be suppressable. The rational is that SBC can always ignore the media received from the peer and continue to send it media.
