About this document

This document describes the planning, configuration, and troubleshooting of the integration of the Business Communications Manager (BCM) with a Communication Server 1000 system. Integrate the CS 1000 and BCM systems when both systems have been installed and a baseline of operation has been achieved and tested.
The following systems and software releases are covered in this guide:
Communication Server 1000 (CS 1000) Release 5.5
Business Communications Manager 200 (BCM 200) Release 4.0
Business Communications Manager 400 (BCM 400) Release 4.0
Business Communications Manager 450 (BCM 450) Release 1.0
Business Communications Manager 50 (BCM50) Release 3.0
This document is intended to be a stand-alone guide, covering the prerequisites to and implementation of a successful CS 1000/BCM integration. A minimum skill set and level of understanding are assumed. References to other NTPs, engineering guides, or troubleshooting guides are made for informational purposes.

CS 1000 setup and IP Peer Networking configuration
Although you can configure the Communication Server 1000 and IP Peer Networking through overlays, the use of Element Manager and Network Routing Services (NRS) Manager are recommended. The Element Manager Web server resides on the Signaling Server and you can access it directly through a Web browser or by using Optivity Telephony Manager (OTM). You must configure NRS through Network Routing Service Manager (NRS Manager), which you can access only through the Element Manager.
Configure the Call Server through Element Manager in the following order:
H.323 Call Server
H.323 Gate Keeper
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) — SIP Protocol
25
— SIP Gateway — SIP Redirect Server and URI Map — SIP Call Server — Network Routing Service in the NRS Manager — SIP addressing — SIP virtual trunking

The SIP Gateway also supports H.323 Gateway functionality so that both Gateways can interoperate. Also, you can point the virtual trunks, whether they are H.323 or SIP, to the same node ID on the signaling server. Then, the signaling server can perform the signaling for both protocols.

Configuring IP networking for SIP
The IP Peer Networking configuration for SIP in the Call Server is similar to the H.323 configuration. For each Call Server in the IP Peer Network, perform the following tasks:
1. Define the customer to support ISDN (LD 15).
2. Create the virtual D-channel (LD 17).
3. Configure the zones (LD 117).
4. Create the virtual route (LD 16). Enter SIP in the VTRK page.
5. Create the virtual trunk.
6. Create the ESN data block for CDP (LD 86).
7. Create the Network Control (NCTL) block for network access (LD 87).
8. Create the RLB that uses the virtual trunk route (LD 86).
9. Create the CDP steering codes (LD 87).
If the system is already configured for H.323, you do not need to perform steps 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 again.

Configuring Gateway endpoints
Add an endpoint for both the Communication Server 1000 (CS 1000) and Business Communications Manager (BCM) systems.
These are Gateway endpoints, which can be served by several users. You can add multiple endpoints, some SIP-only, some H.323-only, and Unistim. You can also configure a user endpoint, which can be only one of these three protocols.

This is the address of the BCM application server. If a third-party Gateway is used, it is the IP address of the Gateway.
RAS H.323 Endpoint is recommended. If an H.323 Gateway Endpoint is configured
with an H.323 Support type of RAS H.323 endpoint, NRS Manager displays Endpoint Dynamic Registration information after the H.323 Gateway registers with the NRS.
Endpoint Dynamic Registration information includes Call Signaling IP, RAS IP, Alias name, t35Country code, t35Extension, Manufacturer code, Product ID, and Version ID.
Dynamic SIP Endpoint is recommended. If a SIP Trunk Gateway Endpoint is
configured with a SIP Support type of Dynamic SIP endpoint, NRS Manager displays Endpoint Dynamic Registration Information for SIP after the SIP Trunk Gateway registers with the NRS.
Endpoint Dynamic Registration Information includes SIP IP, Registration expiry time, User agent, and Preference.
