Document Overview

This document provides a configuration guide for Sonus SBC 1000/2000 series (Session Border Controller) when connecting to Skype for Business 2015 and Bell Canada SIP Trunk.

This configuration guide supports features provided in Microsoft Technet web page.

Introduction

The interoperability compliance testing focuses on verifying inbound and outbound call flows between Sonus SBC 1000/2000 and Skype for Business 2015.

Audience

This is a technical document intended for telecommunications engineers with the purpose of configuring both the Sonus SBC and the third-party product. Steps in this app note will require navigating third-party as well as the Sonus SBC Command Line Interface (CLI). Understanding the basic concepts of TCP/UDP, IP/Routing, and SIP/RTP are also necessary to complete the configuration and for troubleshooting, if necessary.

This configuration guide is offered as a convenience to Sonus customers. The specifications and information regarding the product in this guide are subject to change without notice. All statements, information, and recommendations in this guide are believed to be accurate but are presented without warranty of any kind, express or implied, and are provided “AS IS.” Users must take full responsibility for the application of the specifications and information in this guide.

Sonus SBC 1000/2000 Configuration

The following steps provide an example of how to configure Sonus SBC 1000/2000:

1. SIP Profile

Select Settings > SIP > SIP Profiles

SIP Profiles control how the Sonus SBC 1000/2000 communicates with SIP devices. These control important characteristics such as session timers, SIP Header customization, SIP timers, MIME payloads, and option tags. The following figure shows the default SIP profile used for the SBC 1000/2000 for this testing effort:

 

SIP Profiles

 

2. SIP Server

Select Settings > SIP > SIP Server Tables

SIP Server Tables contain information about the SIP devices connected to the Sonus SBC 1000/2000. The entries in the tables provide information about the IP addresses, ports, and protocols used to communicate with each SIP server. The entries also contain links to counters that are useful for troubleshooting.

 

Skype

 

 

 

Fax

 

 

 

Bell Canada

3. 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 at the expense of voice quality. The following figures are the media profiles of the voice codecs used for the SBC 1000/2000 in this testing effort and are shown for reference only:

 

Voice Codec G711 A-Law

 

 

 

Voice Codec G711 U-Law

 

 

 

Voice Codec G729

 

4. Media List

Select Settings > Media > Media List

The Media List shows the selected voice and fax compression codecs and their associated settings.

 

Media Lists

 

 

5. Transformation Table

Select Settings > Transformation

Transformation Tables facilitate the conversion of names, numbers and other fields when routing a call. For example, Transformation Tables can convert a public PSTN number into a private extension number, or into a SIP address (URI). Every entry in a Call Routing Table requires a Transformation Table, and are sequentially selected from there. In addition, Transformation tables are configurable as a reusable pool that Action Sets can reference.

6. Cause Code Reroutes

Select Settings > Telephony Mapping Tables > Cause Code Reroutes

Terminating ISDN calls return a Q.850 Cause Code when they end. These codes can be used to determine whether or not to reroute the call to another signalling group. A Cause Code Reroutes table contains one or more Q.850 Cause Codes that, when matched, trigger a reroute. To use a Cause Code Reroutes table, go to Call Routing Table, select create or modify, and then from a drop down menu, select the appropriate Cause Code Reroutes table.

7. Call Routing Table

Select Settings > Call Routing Table

Call Routing allows calls to be carried between signaling groups, thus allowing calls to be carried between ports, and between protocols (like ISDN to SIP). Routes are defined by Call Routing Tables, which allow for flexible configuration of which calls will be carried, and also how the calls are translated. These tables are one of the central connection points of the system, linking Transformation Tables, Message translations, Cause Code Reroutes, Media Lists and the three types of Signaling Groups (ISDN, SIP and CAS).

8. Condition Rule Tables

Select Settings > Message Manipulation > Condition Rule Tables

Condition rules are simple rules that apply to a specific component of a message (for example, diversion.uri.host, from.uri.host, etc.) the value of the field specified in the Match Type list box can be matched against a literal value, token, or REGEX.

 

Conditions Rule Tables

9. Message Rule Tables

Select Settings > Message Manipulation > Message Rule Tables

Message Rule Tables are simply sets of Condition Rules and are applied in SIP Signaling Groups when Message Manipulation is enabled.

10. Remote Authorization Tables

Select Settings > Remote Authorization Tables

Remote Authorization Tables and their entries contain information used to respond to request message challenges by an upstream server. The Remote Authorization tables defined in this document appear as options in the Remote Authorization and Contacts Panel for SIP Servers.

 

Bell Canada

11. Signaling Groups

Select Settings > Signaling Groups

Signaling Groups allow telephony channels to be grouped together for the purposes of routing and shared configuration. These groups are the entity to which calls are routed, as well as the location from which Call Routes are selected. These are also the location from which Tone Tables and Action Sets are selected. In the case of SIP, this will specify protocol settings and link to server, media, and mapping tables.
