Ribbon SBC SWe Core

Note 1:

All the configuration for SBC Core in upcoming section is automatically generated and applied during initial boot up at customer premise with a boot up script which asks for the following mentioned values:

  • SBC System name in all UPPERCASE (unique name within the network which will be used to identify this SBC but it should not be matching with hostname, example: FED2SBC1 ),
  • CE name (it is linux operating system's hostname and it can be a subset of System name but it has to different from System name, example: fed2sbc1ce)
  • Management IPV4 address, Management IPV4 Prefix ((example format: 8 if netmask is 255.0.0.0 or 16 if netmask is 255.255.0.0 or 24 if netmask is 255.255.255.0)) and IPV4 Gateway
  • "NTP server IPV4 address" for NTP syncing with external NTP server
  • "Sig Media interface IPV4 address", "Sig Media interface IPV4 Prefix" (example format: 8 if netmask is 255.0.0.0 or 16 if netmask is 255.255.0.0 or 24 if netmask is 255.255.255.0) and "Sig Media interface IPV4 Gateway"
  • DNS server IPV4 address
  • Primary IP Peer address and Port (ie: External Primary SBC IP address and Port)
  • Secondary IP Peer address and Port (ie: External Secondary SBC IP address and Port, if not available, enter dummy IP and port in this step)


Note 2:

The following mentioned additional configuration may need to be done manually based on customer requirement:

Configure IP Interface Group

An IP Interface Group is a named object containing one or more IP interfaces (IP addresses). The IP Interface Group is Address Context-specific (e.g. permanently bound to a particular Address Context), and is the primary tool to manage disjointed networks (separate networks that are not designed to communicate directly). An IP Interface Group is the local manifestation of a segregated network domain. The service section of an IP trunk group and a Signaling Port typically reference an IP Interface Group in order to restrict signaling and/or media activity to that IP Interface Group.

commit


Configure Static Route

IP Static Route object specifies the gateway to which you wish to direct traffic from your Packet, Management, or Link Interface. In effect, this object allows you to add, change, and delete gateways (next Hops) to these interfaces. Interface and static routes combine to form the IP routing table for your network.

An IP Static Route provides a route to each potential call destination IP address. The static route is used to add static IP routes for the IP interfaces. A static route indicates the next Hop gateway and IP interface to use for a particular peer network IP prefix.

commit

Static Route for media IP addresses of External Peer

The following mentioned case is not part of automatic configuration. It needs to be taken care of manually.


In case the Peer's media IP address is different from Peer's SIP Signaling IP address, then they can use the following command to allow that specific media IP address or media IP address range 

set addressContext default staticRoute <Peer's media IP address or range> <prefix> <next hop IP> EXTERNAL PKT1 preference 100
commit

SBC Configuration for External DNS Server

This configuration is required to configure external DNS server to which SBC need to send its DNS queries and receive the DNS response from.

set addressContext default dnsGroup EXT_DNS
set addressContext default dnsGroup EXT_DNS type ip interface EXTERNAL server DNS1 ipAddress <DNS IP address> state enabled
commit

SBC Configuration for TLS / SRTP Profile

The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) provides a common set of infrastructure features supporting public key and certificate-based authentication based on the RSA public/private key pairs and X.509 digital certificates. Import all the required certificated to SBC under /opt/sonus/external/.

TLS Profile creates and configures a profile for implementing the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to use with SIP over TLS. TLS is an IETF protocol for securing communications across an untrusted network. Normally, SIP packets travel in plain text over TCP or UDP connections. Secure SIP is a security measure that uses TLS, the successor to the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

To add a TLS protection-level policy, create a TLS PROFILE and configure each of the parameters. 

The TLS profile is specified on the SIP Signaling Port and controls behavior of all TLS connections established on that signaling port.


SRTP Profile

SRTP Profile is to specify the crypto algorithms required for handling SRTP media.

set profiles security cryptoSuiteProfile CRYPT_PROF entry 1 cryptoSuite AES-CM-128-HMAC-SHA1-80
set profiles security cryptoSuiteProfile CRYPT_PROF entry 2 cryptoSuite AES-CM-128-HMAC-SHA1-32
commit

TLS Profile

TLS Profile is required for handling the TLS handshake as per customer requirement.

The following mentioned case is not part of automatic configuration. It need to be taken care manually.

Its recommended to upload customer's own ".p12" and ".der" files in  /home/sftproot/external/ as root user in linux prompt or by login to EMA and Go to "Administration" → System Admin → File upload.

The file names in the following command need to be changed to customer's own files. This need to be done by customer manually.

### client certificate .p12 file - CHANGE THIS TO ACTUAL CUSTOMER FILE AT CUSTOMER PREMISE
set system security pki certificate SBC_CERT fileName sonuscert.p12 passPhrase gsx9000 type local state enabled
commit

### NOTE: the default sonuscert.p12 file need to be replaced with customer's ".p12" file manually

### root CA .der files - CHANGE THIS TO ACTUAL CUSTOMER FILE AT CUSTOMER PREMISE
set system security pki certificate CA_CERT fileName defaultCaCert.der type remote state enabled passPhrase gsx9000

SBC Configuration for External Network

Create External Zone and configure sipSigPort for connecting to external network.

A Zone is used to group a set of objects unique to a particular customer environment. 

A SIP Signaling Port is a logical address permanently bound to a specific zone, and is used to send and receive SIP call signaling packets. A SIP Signaling Port is capable of multiple transports such as UDP, TCP, and TLS/TCP. Here, we use TLS for Federal Edge.

SIP TG Towards External Network

SIP Trunk Groups are used to apply a wide-ranging set of call management functions to a group of peer devices (endpoints) within the network. SIP Trunk Groups are created within a specific address context and zone.

All SBC signaling and routing (both Trunking and Access) are based upon Trunk Group configurations defined within zones. A zone can contain multiple Trunk Groups.

Configuration for DISA LSC SIP trunks

The following case mentioned is not part of automatic configuration. It need to be taken care manually.

Ports and protocols for SIP trunk:

  •       Signaling (SIP/TLS) - TCP 5061 bi-directional
  •       Media (SRTP) - UDP 16384-32764 bi-directional

Connection/Certs Notes:

  • Any IP address must be allowed to get to your SBC address for media purposes.
  • On your SBC, you must have root CA-3 from a CSR and intermediate CA-53/54/60 certs.
  • In-band DTMF (RFC 2833) i.e. 101 telephone-events are supported
  • Ping-method, Option pings every 30 seconds, keep-alive (Refer the attached SMM rule to create and apply in the Ribbon SBC DISA sipTrkGrp)  
  •  TCP keep-alive enabled
  •  The CCA-ID for your site must be sent on the contact line of the INVITE message for the WANSS to process the call (Refer the attached SMM rule to create and apply in the Ribbon SBC DISA sipTrkGrp)  Note: CCA-ID unique for each site

Device Note:

Only SRTP is sent. If phones are not secure, then there has to be an SRTP to RTP conversion done at your SBC.


Troubleshooting SBC SWe Core

For troubleshooting single call issue, one can use "Debug log" during no load scenario (or) one can use "Call Trace" option during load scenario.

Debug Log

Login to SBC SWe Core's EMA in web browser using the mgmt IPV4 address and then click "Administration" → "Accounting and Logs" → "Event Log" → "Type Admin"


Select Type as "Debug" and set the "Filter Level" to "Info" & click "Save" for debugging during no load scenario and then revert back to "Major" & Click "Save" once the debugging is done or once traffic usage starts.


Go to "Troubleshooting" → "Call Trace/Logs/Monitors" → "Event Log" → "Log Management" and Select "Event Logs" and click Download icon against the ".DBG" File log for troubleshooting

 

Accounting Log

Accounting logs are the CDR files which capture successful and failed calls. Start, Stop, Intermediate records for every calls can be captured and Attempt records can be captured for Failed call.

Go to "Troubleshooting" → "Call Trace/Logs/Monitors" → "Event Log" → "Log Management" and Select "Event Logs" and click Download icon against the ".ACT" File log for processing CDR files.


CDR Viewer

This is another option to view CDR files. Go to ""Troubleshooting" → "Troubleshooting Tools" → CDR Viewer.

Click "Enable" on the right pane. Make some calls and you can see each CDRs getting listed with few basic information including call disconnect reason.



If you want to troubleshoot some specific failed calls, you can use the following mentioned "Call Trace" option.

Call Trace

For debugging particular call using called number or calling number etc in production, one can use the following mentioned option.

Go to "Troubleshooting" → "Call Trace and Packet Capture" → "Call Trace" → "+New Call Filter".

Enter "Name" of the Call Filter and set "state" to enabled and set "Capture calls that match these filters" to either "Called number" or calling number or any other filters or any combination of these filters and then click "save".



Make a call matching the set filters and check the .TRC File for debugging using the following mentioned step.

Go to "Troubleshooting" → "Call Trace/Logs/Monitors" → "Event Log" → "Log Management" and Select "Event Logs" and click Download icon against the ".TRC" File for troubleshooting.



Ribbon SBC Edge Configuration

  • Login to SBC Edge (2000 or 1000) via EMA GUI login using web browser by typing EMA IP address.
  • Once the EMA page is opened, Go to "Administration → System Administration → TDM Configuration & Monitoring".




  • Upon clicking "TDM Configuration and Monitoring", the SBC Edge Login page will appear in a new Tab.



  1. Enter the login credentials, and it will take you to the following page.



  • Go to System Tab and check the current build name to ensure the required build is in place.


  • Check the required TDM Ports (FXS/ISDN) are displayed as ordered by customer.



  • Check the current licenses by going to "Settings" Tab → System → Licensing → Current Licenses.


FXS Configuration

Configure CAS Profile by going to "Settings" tab → CAS → CAS Signaling Profiles → Create CAS Profile.




  • Click Apply once all settings are chosen as required.

CAS Supplementary Service Profile

  • Create CAS Supplementary service Profile by going to "Settings" tab → CAS → Supplementary service Profiles → Create CAS Profile.
  • Enable Call Hold, Call Transfer, Call waiting services.


Call Transformation Table

  • Go to Settings → Call routing → Transformation → Click + symbol to create new transformation table.
  • This is required to match the incoming called number and any alteration required for that number in order to select a particular Destination signaling group (SIP signaling group or ISDN signaling group or FXS signaling group). One needs to create separate Transformation Table for calls destined to FXS and calls destined to ISDN.


Signaling Groups

There will be default SIP signaling group called "Fixed SIP SG" which one cannot modify.

Hence, one need to create and configure ISDN (PRI) / FXS (CAS) signaling groups.

CAS Signaling Group
  • Go to Settings → Signaling groups → Click + to create CAS signaling group (say, CAS_SG).
  • Link the required Call routing table, CAS Signaling profile, Supplementary service profile and the required FXS Port & corresponding phone number.
  • Leave the rest to default values including default Call Routing table "SIP Route Table".





ISDN signaling group
  • Go to Settings → Signaling groups → Click + to create ISDN signaling group (say, ISDN_SG_1a ).
  • Configure switch variant to NI2 and link required Port number from the drop down and leave the rest to default values including default Call Routing table "SIP Route Table".




Call Routing

Call Routing helps to link transformation table and the destination signaling group to be chosen.

Call routing is linked to each call origination signaling group, so, SBC refers to call routing section for routing the call to correct destination.

For Routing call from SIP to ISDN or FXS

There is a default FIXED SIP SG which is meant for internal communication between SBC SWe Core & SBC Edge and it has default SIP Route Table linked.

One need to configure the SIP Route table with a transformation table for either ISDN or for FXS or both and link them to either ISDN signaling group or CAS Signaling group or both based on the need.

If the criteria in transformation table matches, then destination signaling group (ISDN or CAS) can be chosen to route the call via that particular signaling group.

  • Go to Settings → Call routing → Call Routing Table → Click default "SIP Route Table" which is present by default → expand it to change configuration.
  • Change the "name / number transformation table" linked to SIP Route table as required to required ISDN or FXS Transformation table name.
  • Add the required destination signaling group as ISDN or FXS.


For Routing call from ISDN or FXS to SIP

ISDN to SIP

  1. Create a Call Routing table to route call coming from ISDN.
  2. Create and assign the Transformation table for handling calls destined towards SIP side.
  3. Assign FIXED SIP SG as the destination signaling group.

FXS to SIP

  1. Create a Call Routing table to route call coming from FXS.
  2. Create and assign the Transformation table for handling calls destined towards SIP side.
  3. Assign FIXED SIP SG as the destination signaling group.
For Routing call from ISDN to ISDN
  1. Create a Call Routing table to route call coming from ISDN and destined to another ISDN.
  2. Create and assign the Transformation table for handling calls destined towards another ISDN.
  3. Assign another ISDN signaling group as the destination signaling group.

Avaya IP Office Configuration

We used Avaya IPO for ISDN PRI Trunk termination.

The Avaya IP Office Manager was loaded onto the tester’s PC and allowed user login and access to the Avaya IP Office PBX. With Avaya IP Office Manager loaded on your local PC, select Program Files (x86) > Avaya > IP Office > Manager. Select the “Manager” application.





ISDN PRI Trunk

To access the System settings, click the name of the IP Office system. Select Sonus IP Office → Line → .5 (configured as PRI Trunk) → PRI 24 Line.

To Configure PRI Trunk, Open Avaya Manager. Go to "Line" section, create a Line and specify the ISDN Physical Port number (which has T1 connected) .

In the following sample config, Port number 9 (though Line number is 05) is configured as PRI as that port number is ISDN in equipment.

Switch Type & Clock Quality can be changed according to customer requirement.


PRI Channels can be configured individually as "Inservice" or "Out Of Service" and direction can be incoming, outgoing or Bothway.

Each Channel can be configured with Line Group ID. In the following sample config, its configured as "52".

POTS Line

Connect one POTS Phone in one of the FXS Port in Avaya IPO. Go to "Extension" section and create new extension ID and extension number & specify correct Physical Port.

In the following sample config, POTS phone is connected to Port 2.


Click "Standard Telephone" for normal POTS Phone.


Outgoing Call Routing

Go to "Short Code" section, create new short code and feature "Dial" and Line Group ID.

Line Group ID is very important configuration. Line Group ID should match with outgoing Trunk's Line Group ID.

In the following sample config, 992xxxx means after 992, four more digits need to be dialed and it can be any 4 digit after 992.



Incoming Call Routing

Go to Incoming call Route section. Line Group ID "0" means, call can come from any "Line Group ID". Incoming number can be specified.

When the incoming number is matched, call will be routed to "Destination" configured on Destination Tab. In this case, Destination is one of the FXS Port (here, Port 2).



Go To Destination Tab and select "User" (example: 210 Extn210) configured under "User" section with extension "210" configured under "Extension" section with Port number "2" in the following example.



"User" section is shown in the following screen capture.



"Extension" section is shown in the following screen capture.

Port 2 is linked to Extension 210.

Caveats

There are a few caveats and observations for both Federal Edge 1K and Federal Edge 2K:

  • 2nd NTP server in SBC Core can't be added in first try. It needs to be deleted and recreated 2nd time.
  • FXS Blind transfer service support is work in progress.
  • MOH won't work as wav file can't be uploaded.
  • Video call is not supported on Federal Edge.
  • G711A law + G729 without CN offer from ingress Peer would cause extra Re-invite or update from SBC Core towards Ingress Peer.
  • Fax T.38 with SRTP is not recommended on Federal Edge.

  • With LRBT enabled, SBC Core sends G711A law with wrong payload type in SDP.

Federal Edge 2000

The following observation is for Federal Edge 2K only:

  • Rebooting SBC Edge in SBC 2000 UI will do power cycle of ASM. This is not observed in Federal Edge 1K.

Federal Edge 1000

The following observation is for Federal Edge 1K only:

  • FXS Call Hold / Resume doesn't work on SBC 1000 and fix is being worked out.
  • After factory reset, SBC 1000 UI won't be accessible for 7 hours. 
  • After factory reset, some times (not always) ntp.conf file will be missing in SBC 1000.
