Configure FXO with Microsoft On Premises

Not supported by SBC SWe Lite.

The Ribbon SBC 1000 Easy Config interface includes a built-in step-by-step setup configuration wizard, which enables end-users to quickly deploy Ribbon SBC 1000 in a Microsoft On Premises environment for an analog FXO configuration.

Step 1 - Configure Scenario

Select the Application type (FXO ↔ Microsoft On Premises).

Configuring FXO with Microsoft On Premises is available on the SBC 1000 only.

Specify the scenario configuration details based on your deployment details. Once completed, click Next to move to Step 2. (Or, click Cancel to return to the main WebUI screen).

The Easy Config wizard creates the requested configuration, using the current configuration of the SBC 1000 as the starting point. Existing configuration elements are retained, and the requested configuration details are added as new configuration elements.

These instructions assume the SBC Easy Config wizard is running. See Using the Easy Configuration Wizard.

Scenario - Field Definitions

Step 1

Application

The scenario in which the configuration template is provided. In this case, select FXO ↔ Microsoft On Premises.

Scenario Description

Enter the name to describe FXO ↔ Microsoft On Premises configuration.

This value will be prefixed on all the SBC 1000 configuration element names created by the configuration wizard for this deployment.

Telephone Country

The country in which the FXO ↔ Microsoft On Premises configuration originates.

Emergency Services

Defines the Emergency Services for outgoing numbers. To support displaying multiple fields, None is the selected Emergency Services option the screen examples. Field descriptions follow.

Options: ELIN Identifier, E911/E112, or None.

The E911 Elin number from the "CompanyName" field configured in Lync location services is the authoritative Callback Number for outgoing E911 calls, and is always the preferred configuration. Specifically, the location services configuration for the calling client takes precedence over any Callback Number number specified using the Easy Config wizard. For more information, see Creating and Modifying Entries to Transformation Tables.

Emergency Callback Number 1

Specify the first Callback Number in string format. This field is displayed only when ELIN Identifier or E911/E112 is selected from Emergency Services.

Emergency Callback Number 2

Specify the second Callback Number in string format. This field is displayed only when ELIN Identifier or E911/E112 is selected from Emergency Services.

PSAP Number

Defines the Public Safety Answering Point Number. Valid entry 1 - 127 characters.

FXO

Sets Provider Type to FXO. This is a fixed value.

Microsoft On Premises

Specifies the version of Microsoft On Premises. Valid options: Skype for Business, Lync 2010/2013, or Microsoft Cloud Connector Edition.

Step 2

Calibrate FXO Ports

Enables/disables FXO Port calibration.

FXO Port Calibration function determines the optimum impedance and the local loop type settings and configures each selected port accordingly, which eliminates impedance mismatching. Impedance mismatching results in audible echos on the line and reduced call quality. Correctly matching the line impedance reduces or eliminates the echo. A number of factors influence the line impedance: line types that vary from country to country, line types that vary between geographic regions, and the distance between the node and the central office.

Options: Yes (FXO port calibration is executed) or No (FXO port calibration is not executed).

Caller ID Type

Specifies the Caller ID Type for the signaling group used with the signaling group.

Not all countries are standardized on which Caller ID Type they use. This list contains suggested types for certain countries, and some countries use multiple types. If the Caller ID Types listed here are not used for your country, you may need to contact your local service provider for more information.

Provider Hunt Group

When enabled, all ports in the signaling group are set to the Hunt Group phone number entered in the Phone Number field. Valid options: Enabled or Disabled.

FXO Ports

Specify the physical FXO port number to which the FXO line is physically connected. Configure FXO port entries using the following command buttons: Up (move a port up in the list), Down (move a port down in the list), Add/Edit (adds or changes a port), and Remove (deletes a port).

For example, click Add/Edit to add a port. Click the check box for the desired FXO port, and then click OK.
