or, alternately,
– http://[DEVICE IP ADDRESS]:12358
Logging on to the Web Portal
In order to log on to the Web Portal configuration tool, enter the root user ID and password. The default values for these
parameters are:
y typing the following in your address bar:
– User ID: root
– D
efault password: root
Navigating the Web Portal
Effective use of the Web Portal requires a basic understand
ing of the physical elements of the tool, how to
access its various components and knowing your current location in the Web Portal display. The following
topics are covered: Navigation and Information Panels and Knowing Your Location.
Navigation and Information Panels
The Web Portal has been designed with a consistent str
eamlined approach for the presentation of Smart Media
configuration data. Information related to the hierarchy of data is displayed in the left-hand navigation panel,
while information related to a selected category is displayed in the information panel found on the right side of
the window.
Selecting a category in the navigation panel causes related
configuration and status information to be dynami-
cally displayed. The navigation panel displays information in a tree-like structure enabling you to understand

Verifying that an Application is Operating
When an application’s target state is set to run, there ar
e a number of crucial verifications that you should con-
duct in order to know that an application is running properly. These verifications are as follows:
• Veri
fy the application’s current path. It is important that once the application has been set to run, a path
is displayed.
• Veri
fy the TDM interface. If you are running a TDM application on your Smart Media unit then you can
verify the TDM interface. Although, you most likely have not yet configured the TDM interface of the
Smart Media unit, certain status LEDS will indicate that your application is operational.

Configuring ISDN-PRI Signaling
Integrated Systems Digital Network (ISDN) is a circuit-switched telephone system that integrated voice and
data on the same lines. The Smart Media system can be configured to provide an ISDN signaling stack on the
trunks of one or more units to meet system configuration requirements. In order to configure ISDN-PRI signaling for your system, you must create a new ISDN stack.
To create a new ISDN stack:

Configuring SIP Signaling
Smart Media provides support for signaling using the Session Initiation Protocol, more commonly known as
SIP, for voice over IP (VoIP) communications. SIP may be used in conjunction with various voice codecs for
the media component of a call. Smart Media supports SIP signaling concurrently with SS7, ISDN and other
signaling protocols. SIP signaling stacks are configured for IP applications and for each Smart Media unit
requiring SIP signaling.
Based upon your system requirements, you can configure a SIP stack to carry signaling traffic over multiple
ransport servers, which are IP endpoints comprised of: protocol type (TCP/UDP), port number, IP interface,
t
IP address, IP name, and SAPs.
Refer to the following sections to configure SIP signaling for your Smart Media device:

Smart Media Software Configuration Guide 3 • Configuring an ISDN-SIP Gateway
Managing the Session Description Protocol (SDP)
You can specify the Profile SDP Description to define which voice codecs are supported in the Network Access
Each line of the Profile SDP Description consists of text of the form <type>=<value>. <type> is always exactly
one character and is case-significant. <value> is a structured text string whose format depends on <type>. It also
will be case-significant unless a specific field defines otherwise. Whitespace is not permitted either side of the
`=' sign. In general <value> is either a number of fields delimited by a single space character or a free format
string.
In our Profile SDP Description, only 2 <type> are used.
Media Announcement
The format of media announcement is as follows:
m=<media> <port> <transport> <fmt list>
• The first sub-field is the media type. Currently defined media for Smart Media is "audio".
• T
he second sub-field is the transport port to which the media stream will be sent. In Smart Media, it is not
specified in Profile SDP Description and therefore you should specify "0".
• T
he third sub-field is the transport protocol. For most of the application, you may specify it as "RTP/AVP"
- the IETF's Realtime Transport Protocol using the Audio/Video profile carried over UDP.
• T
he fourth and subsequent sub-fields are media formats. For audio and video, these will normally be media
payload types as defined in the RTP Audio/Video Profile. When a list of payload formats is given, this
implies that all of these formats may be used in the session, but the first of these formats is the default format for the session. When the transport protocol is specified as "RTP/AVP", the payload format can be
pecified as either
s
- the payload type number for static payload types
-
the payload type number along with additional encoding information for dynamically allocated payload
types.
The payload type, which is carried in the actual RTP packet head
er, is used to identify the type of codec information carried in the packet. A list of payload type values for each codec is defined within RFC3551. Unfortunately, since the payload type field is only 7 bits-wide, all
codecs cannot have a permanent payload type value
understood universally by all VoIp systems. Therefore, some codecs have dynamic values that need to be negotiated through a call control or session control protocol
such as SIP before the actual RTP session can take
place.
Configuring Codecs and Tone Detection62
Page 63
Smart Media Software Configuration Guide 3 • Configuring an ISDN-SIP Gateway
Table 11 shows the list of codec payload type values per RFC3551:
For audio streams, <encoding parameters> may specify the number of audio channels. This parameter may be
omitted if the number of channels is one provided no additional parameters are needed.
Other media specific attribute. The use of other media specific attributes depends on the specification of the
payload format for the specific media type. Here are some example of attributes.
RTP
a=fmtp:<format> <format specific parameters>
This attribute allows parameters that are specific to a particular format to be conveyed in a way that SDP
doesn't have to understand them. The format must be one of the formats specified for the media. Format-spe-

Smart Media Software Configuration Guide 3 • Configuring an ISDN-SIP Gateway
cific parameters may be any set of parameters required to be conveyed by SDP and given unchanged to the
media tool that will use this format.
a=ptime:<packet time>
This gives the length of time in milliseconds represented by the media in a packet. This is probably only meaningful for audio data. It should not be necessary to know pt
ime to decode RTP or vat audio, and it is intended
as a recommendation for the encoding/packetisation of audio. It is a media attribute, and is not dependent on
charset.
Examples. Here are some examples of the attributes found in the default profile SDP description:
a=rtpmap:97 iLBC/8000
a=fmtp:97 mode=20
The above defines iLBC codec of 8000/sec sample rate with 20ms frame size.
a=rtpmap:98 telephone-event/8000
The above defines the DTMF relay using RFC2833.

After you have created your ISUP network, you must create a new ISUP user part. The user part is the container for the multiple ISUP interfaces. One user part is required for each protocol variant.
Multiple ISUP user parts can be instantiated within a single ISUP
protocol layer. This allows a user application
to interface with multiple SS7 ISUP protocol variants at the same time. Only one ISUP user part is required
for a specific variant as it can be assigned to multiple ISUP networks.
A user part can easily be seen as a protocol variant that a host application wants to use on the SS7 network.
