The

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
provides Lawful Intercept (LI) support using one of two methods:

  • Using ERE with provisioning support from EMA (license required).
  • Using centralized PSX with provisioning support from EMS (license required).

The 

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
supports up to 500 simultaneous LI sessions. 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
works in coordination with an Intercept Server (IS) to provide call data and call content to law enforcement agencies for calls involving identified intercept subjects. When it receives matching LI criteria in a policy response from ERE (or external PSX in centralized PSX solution), the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
routes the call as directed and additionally reports call events to the IS.

The 

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
also sends an RTP copy of the call's voice streams (call content) to an IP address provided by the IS. LI is configured by EMA (or EMS in centralized PSX solution). The target number is uploaded to LI table of ERE (or PSX, with the help of EMS).

Note

You must use the default addressContext when configuring LI.

 

Refer to Lawful Intercept page for an in-depth explanation of LI functionality.

Note

The SBC 52x0 and SBC 7000 systems support creating IP Interface Groups containing sets of IP interfaces that are not "processor friendly" (i.e. carried on physical Ethernet ports served by separate processors). However, restrictions exist regarding the usage of such Interface Groups.

(This ability does not apply to the SBC 51x0 and SBC 5400 systems which have only two physical media ports. IP interfaces from the two physical ports may be configured within the same IP Interface Groups without restriction.)

For complete details, refer to Configuring IP Interface Groups and Interfaces.

Note

When configuring LI through EMA/ERE, you must be 'Calea' user. Refer to Managing SBC Core Users and Accounts for descriptions of users and permissions.

Command Examples

To configure the name of the IP interface group used to stream to the LI server, use the commands:

% set addressContext default intercept callDataChannel CDC ipInterfaceGroupName LIG1
% commit
Note

The mediation server’s ipInterfaceGroup must be different from other signaling ipInterface groups to ensure that LI does not use the signaling ipAddress to send intercepted traffic (media/signaling) towards the mediation server. 

 

To configure intercept standard, use the commands:

% set addressContext default intercept callDataChannel CDC interceptStandard etsi
% commit

 

To configure the vendor ID, use the commands:

% set addressContext default intercept callDataChannel CDC interceptStandard etsi vendorId verint
% commit

 

To configure mediation server for media interception, use the commands:

Note

Mediation server’s ipInterfaceGroup must be different from other signaling ipInterface groups. This ensures that LI doesn't use signaling ipAddress to send intercepted traffic (media/signaling) towards Mediation Server.
