Ribbon SBC Edge Configuration
The following steps provide an example of how to configure the Ribbon SBC 1000/2000.
- Media Profile
- Tone Table
- Transformation Table
- Sip Profile
- Sip Remote Authorization Entry
- Sip Contact Registration
- Server Table
- Signaling Group
1. Media Profile
Select Settings > Media > Media Profiles
Media Profiles specify the individual voice and fax compression codecs and their associated settings for inclusion into a Media List. Different codecs provide varying levels of compression, allowing the reduction of bandwidth requirements. Listed below are the media profiles of the voice codecs used for testing the SBC 2000:
Note: The Digit Relay Payload Type must be set to 97.

2. Tone Table
Select Settings > Tone Tables. Use default settings to specify a tone table.
Tone Tables
3. Transformation Table
Select Settings > Transformation
Transformation Tables facilitate the conversion of names, numbers, and other fields when routing a call. They can, for example, convert a PSTN number (public) into a private extension number, or into a SIP address (URI). Each entry in a Call Routing Table requires a Transformation Table.
Inbound Transformation Table
Outbound Transformation Table
4. Sip Profile
Select Settings > SIP > SIP Profiles.
SIP Profiles control how the SBC Edge communicates with SIP devices. The SIP Profile controls important characteristics such as the following: session timers, SIP header customization, SIP timers, MIME payloads, and option tags.

5. Remote Authorization Table
Select Settings > SIP > Remote Authorization Tables.
Remote Authorization Tables entries contain information for responses to request message challenges by an upstream server.

6. Contact Registrant Table
Select Settings > SIP > Contact Registrant Table.
Contact Registrant Tables manage contacts that are registered to a SIP server. The SIP Server Configuration can specify a Contact Registrant Table. The username portion of the table is used for outbound calls.
Contact Registrant Table
7. Server Table
Select Settings > SIP > SIP Server Tables
SIP Server Tables contain information about the SIP devices connected to the SBC Edge. The entries in the tables provide information about the IP Addresses, ports, and protocols used to communicate with each server. The Table Entries also contain links to counters that are useful for troubleshooting.

8. Signaling Group
Select Settings > Signaling Groups
Signaling groups allow telephony channels to be grouped together for the purposes of routing and sharing configuration data. Calls are routed to signaling groups along wiht the location data used in Call Route selection. A signaling group also specifies the location from which Tone Tables and Action Sets are selected. For SIP, signaling groups specify protocol settings and link to server, media, and mapping tables.
