The Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
includes the Easy Configuration option to add a partially configured signaling group with a new single end-point scenario for Microsoft Teams: Teams Direct Routing or Teams Downstream SBC.
The SBC Easy Configuration interface includes a built-in, step-by-step setup configuration wizard to enable quick and easy deployment of a partially configured signaling group with a new single end-point scenario for a Microsoft Teams.
For the single endpoint configuration, since the peer end if not known/configured, in the Easy Configuration Wizard, the Transformation and Routing entries for the endpoint being configured are created independent of the peer end. If you have two endpoints connected and use the Single Leg Wizard to add the third endpoint, you'll need to create/modify the Transformation and Routing entries to complete routing.
Easy Configuration Step 1 includes configuration for scenario parameters.
- In the WebUI, click the Tasks tab.
- In the left navigation panel, go to SBC Easy Setup > Easy Config Wizard.
From the Application drop down list, select Microsoft Teams.
Configure per the field definitions below and click Next.
Configure Microsoft Teams Connection
Configure Scenario Parameters - Field Definitions
Field | Description |
---|
Application | Configuration template used: Microsoft Teams. |
Scenario Description | Name to describe the setup. |
Telephone Country | Country in which Microsoft Teams is setup. |
SIP Sessions | Number of simultaneous SIP Sessions. Valid entry: 1 - 960. |
Teams Connection | The Teams connection type used for the network. Valid selections: - Teams Direct Routing
- Teams Downstream SBC
NOTE: For Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" , only Teams Direct Routing is supported. |
Easy Configuration Step 2 includes configuration for the Microsoft Teams endpoint. The configuration items displayed in Step 2 depends on the connection type for the Microsoft Teams leg you configured in Step 1. See below for each type.
- Configure the connection type information.
- Click Next.
The fields below are displayed if you select Teams Direct Routing from the Teams Connection drop down list in Step 1.
Configure Teams Direct Routing
Field | Description |
---|
Teams Connection Type - Standalone Direction Connection |
---|
Team Connection Type | The Teams connection type used for the network. Valid selections: - Standalone Direct Connection
- Local Media Optimization
Note: For Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" , only Standalone Direct Connection is supported. |
Signaling/Media Source IP | Click the drop-down arrow to select the external (Internet-facing) IP address of the Microsoft Teams Direct Routing server that handles routing of messages for signaling and media. |
Static Host FQDN/IP[;port] | This field is available for Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" only with a Standalone Direct Connection. The SBC inserts the configured FQDN in the requests and responses sent toward Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams can then reach the SBC successfully based on the configured FQDN. |
Outbound NAT Traversal | Allows the SBC to be placed behind a NAT device, and uses the IP of the NAT device for all outgoing messages. If this field is set to Enable, the Public IP address field configuration is required. Valid selections: Enable: Network Address Translation is used for the NAT device's Public IP address. Disable: Network Address Translation address translation is not used. NOTE: This field is required when the SBC interface has a private IP and the NAT device is using a public IP. For details on configuring an SBC behind the NAT, refer to Configuring the SBC Edge for NAT Traversal. NOTE: This field is not applicable to Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" . |
Apply ACL | Specifies whether an ACL (Access Control List) is applied to the Microsoft Teams connection. An ACL provides security to an SBC using a Public IP. Valid selection: True: Applies the ACL. False: Does not apply the ACL. For details on configuring an ACL to be applied to an SBC, refer to Managing Access Control Lists. |
Protocol | Hard-coded value for protocol used with federated FQDN: TLS. |
Server Port Number | Hard-coded value for the port used for TLS: 5061. |
Listening Port Number | Port number used for sending and receiving SIP messages between the SBC and the Border Element Server. |
Teams Connection Type - Local Media Optimization (Microsoft Teams Direct Routing media flow uses the shortest path to improve the Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" 's media quality and bandwidth usage) |
---|
Signaling/Media Source IP | External (Internet-facing) IP address of the Microsoft Teams Direct Routing server that handles routing of messages for signaling and media. |
Private Media Source IP | Private IP address that handles routing of messages for media. |
Outbound NAT Traversal | Allows the SBC to be placed behind a NAT device, and uses the IP of the NAT device for all outgoing messages. If this field is set to Enable, the Public IP address field configuration is required. Valid selections: Enable: Network Address Translation is used for the NAT device's Public IP address. Disable: Network Address Translation address translation is not used. NOTE: This field is required when the SBC interface has a private IP and the NAT device is using a public IP.
