Nortel Networks Confidential

Overview

Functional description

The SIP Web Client Manager (WCM) is an optional functional component of the Multimedia Communications Portfolio (MCP). It provides the interface for communication between the SIP Multimedia Web Client and the SIP Application Module and SIP Provisioning Module. These communications include: sending and receiving multimedia calls; obtaining subscribers service packages, updating address books, and presence statuses of buddies.

SIP Web Client Manager The SIP Web Client Manager manages web-based

client applicatio ns and en able s subscribe rs to access SIP services from a browser.

The SIP Web Client Manager also provides the SIP Multimedia Web Client feature set and enables the interworking of the SIP Multimedia Web Client and the SIP Application Module.

The SIP Web Client Manager is deployed from the System Management Console. Once the SIP Web Clinet Manager is deployed, the administrator can access it through a web browser as soon as the end user’s account is set up.

Figure 1 Network Component Interoperability

The clouds in the d iagram represe nt two distin ct networks. The Private MCP Network cloud interacts with the Managed Public Network cloud through the different edge components. The SIP Web Client Manager is dual-homed. It communicates with the SIP Application Module and the Provisioning Module through the Private MCP Network, and SIP Multimedia Web Client thro ugh the Managed Public Network.

• 4 GB RAM

• 2 36.4 GB Disks

• 32x internal CD-ROM Drive

• 1 20 GB 4mm DDS-4 Internal Tape Drive

• 1 Quad Fast Ethernet (QFE) PCI card

• 10x Internal DVD-ROM drive

MCP OAM&P strategy

The OAM&P strategy for MCP is to man age system operations from a central location. Th e central location for OA M&P manag ement is in the Management Module which resides on the Management Server. From the System Man agement Console, you can view, add, modify, delete, lock, and unlock the various components in the system.

Interfaces

The SIP Web Client Manager is used to co ntrol or manage the si gnaling of the SIP Multimedia Web Clients. The signaling between th e clients and the manager is done by way of Web Client Session Control Protocol (WCSCP) /TCP.

The SIP Web Client Manager has the following two interfaces:

• SIP/UDP. The SIP W e b Client Manager uses this interface to send SIP signaling to the SIP Application Module (port 5060) for requests on behalf of SIP Multimedia Web Clients.

• Sliding Rack Mount Kit

• WCSCP/TCP. The SIP Web Client Manager uses this interface to control or manage sessions of the SIP Multimedia Web Clients..

User interfaces

The System Management Console manages the SIP Web Client Manager.

Upgrades

Nortel Networks recommends that system administrators only perfo rm software upgrades with involvement from Nortel Networks.

Software updates are deployed using the System Management Console. The update can be either an up- versionin g of the softwa re or a roll back to an earlier version. Only versions not currently deployed appear in the loadlist.

The update process automatically fills the service property fields of the updated component with the configured values from the previous version. During the update, a comparison of the configuration fields is performed, and new services identified. An update that introduces new functionality across many components will not affect network stability.

Updating the software affects the operation of the component’s hosted services during the procedure.

For more information on updating component so ftware, refer to System Management Console Basics.

Fault management

Network fault management strategy

The MCP 1.1 FP1 system hand les net work fault mana gement through alarms and logs. SIP Multimedia Web Client alarms and logs are viewed from the System Ma nagement Cons ole. (See the MCP System Management Console Basics NTP for tasks related to alarms and logs.)

Configuration

Network strategy

The MCP network strategy is to configure all of the components in a central location. The central location for configuration is the Management Server Console.

The following sectio ns provi de inform ation on co nfiguri ng the S IP W eb Client Manager.

Configuration procedures

Log in to the manageme nt serve r console . For de ta iled pr ocedu res on logging into the management server console, please refer to the System Management Console Basics document.

Configuration details

When you deploy the WCM, you will also need to deploy the web bundle (otherwise the web client will no t work). In the Web Client Mananger tab of the WCM bundle, ensure that WCM Socket Server Active is checked. Ensure all values in the Web Client Manager tab are the same as the Web bundle’s (except for the Socket Server Active tab).
