Ribbon recommends using the Transparency Profile to configure transparency on the SBC Core for new deployments, as well as applying additional transparency configurations to existing deployments. Do not use IP Signaling Profile flags in these scenarios because the flags will be retired in upcoming releases.
Refer to the SBC SIP Transparency Implementation Guide for additional information.
Use the Media window to define the parameters associated with media features for a specified SIP trunk group.
The SBC 52x0 and SBC 7000 systems support creating IP Interface Groups containing sets of IP interfaces that are not "processor friendly" (i.e. carried on physical Ethernet ports served by separate processors). However, restrictions exist regarding the usage of such Interface Groups.
(This ability does not apply to the SBC 51x0 and SBC 5400 systems which have only two physical media ports. IP interfaces from the two physical ports may be configured within the same IP Interface Groups without restriction.)
For complete details, refer to Configuring IP Interface Groups and Interfaces.

The Media window opens. Use the drop-down lists to select the desired Address Context, Zone and SIP Trunk Group. The Edit Media options are displayed.
SIP Trunk Group - Media Edit Window
The following fields are displayed:
SIP Trunk Group - Media Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Data Path Mode Passthru | Determines whether the SBC will transmit media direction (Data Path Mode) received from a peer in the Offer SDP RTP IP.
|
DTLS Profile Name | The name of the Dtls Profile to attach to this Trunk Group. To create a Dtls Profile, refer to Security - Dtls Profile. |
Late Media Support | Determines whether a SIP late media (reverse offer) INVITE should be converted to a forward offer on egress or else allowed to transparently pass through. Set this flag at the Ingress leg of the Trunk Group.
Note: If you configure Packet Service Profile Packet To Packet Control for “Transcode Free Transparency” (see System Provisioning - Packet Service Profile), ensure you also set Late Media Support to Passthru. Note: When Late Media Support is set to Convert and the Direct Media Allowed flag is enabled for the same call, late media Convert takes precedence for the original egress INVITE being generated. Eventually, the call transitions to a direct media call. |
Multiple Audio Streams Support | Determines whether the SBC processes multiple audio m-lines, or a combination of audio and image m-lines, in SDP.
|
Max Ptime Default | This field indicates the default packet size in milliseconds. The value ranges from 10 to 150 and the default value is 150. |
Comedia Connection Role | Indicates whether the SDP offer sent by the SBC includes a direction attribute line as defined by the Comedia draft.
|
Tmr64K | Enable this flag to allow the transmission Medium Requirement Unrestricted 64kbit/s control for SIP-ISUP interworking.
|
Media IP Interface Group Name | Name of the IP interface group for media. |
Media IP Address | Each trunk group can have a media IP address configured to specify a specific IP address to use when allocating UDP or TCP media. The default value is 0.0.0.0. If you prefer to choose an IP address from a range of values configured in Media Port Range (UDP) or TCP Port Range, set this parameter to the default value. Configure the Media IP Address as either an IPv4 or IPv6 address (except for H.323, which does not support IPv6 addresses). The configured IP address must belong to the IP Interface Group configured as the Media IP Interface Group for the trunk group. For additional details, refer to SIP over UDP and SIP over TCP. |
Source Address Filtering | When enabled, incoming media packets that do not match the expected source IP address and UDP port are filtered out.
|
Media Addr Type | The media address type attribute determines the type of IP address the SBC uses in an offer.
Note: The Anat parameter page is only available when the IPv4 and IPv6 option is chosen. The Ice parameter page is available only when the IPv4 and IPv6 option is chosen and the Services NAT Traversal option enables Ice Support. Refer to Services - Nat Traversal. |
Recordable | Enable this flag to support the media recording of RTP stream to an external recording device on this SIP trunk group.
|
SDP Attributes Selective Relay | Enable this flag to control the selective relay of unknown SDP attributes at the session level and attributes from the core audio stream.
|
Msrp | Enables the MSRP payload relay over TCP connections that will be setup on a successful negotiation of MSRP SDP attributes.
|
Msrp Mux | Enable this option to reuse an existing TCP connection with an IP peer for multiple MSRP sessions (MSRP multiplexing). MSRP multiplexing applies only to MSRP sessions established using back-to-back user agent (B2BUA) behavior. Multiplexing cannot be applied to MSRP sessions established based on the RFC 6714 “Connection Establishment for Media Anchoring” (CEMA) type of handling. The options are:
|
Omr Primary Realm | Use this parameter to choose an Address Context realm name to use as the primary realm for this SIP trunk group. Note: This configuration is not supported on ERE and is intended for use only with an external PSX.
|
Advertise Audio Only | When enabled, SBC sends only the main audio/image stream in the SDP offer.
|
Lync Share | This flag supports Lync/Desktop sharing application media streams.
Refer to Configuring SBC and LYNC in Media Environment for configuration details. |
App Specific Bandwidth | When enabled on a trunk group, this flag includes the b=AS attribute in the SDP outgoing offer or answer sent on that trunk group.
This flag does not insert the b=AS SDP attribute for non-audio streams or at the session level. The b=AS SDP attribute does not apply to the H.323 signaling interface. |
