1.1 Glossary

1.2 Overview

The Sonus SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 session border controllers are designed to use the same application software, boot image and Survivable Branch Appliance software. They differ in the number of physical Ethernet connections and processing power but are otherwise viewed from a software standpoint as being the same. With this in mind, this particular effort was tested with an SBC 1000 but is fully applicable to an SBC 2000.

2 Introduction

This document provides a configuration guide for Sonus SBC 1000 Series (Session Border Controller) when connecting to a SIP trunk group and a Lync 2013.

The Sonus SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 are Session Border Controllers that connect disparate SIP trunks, SIP PBXs, and communication applications within an enterprise. The SBC can also be used as a SIP routing and integration engine.

The Sonus SBC is the point of connection between the SIP trunk group to PSTN and the Lync 2013.

3 Configuring Sonus SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 Series

The SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 share a common code base and user interface. In this example, we are using an SBC 1000.

Figure 3.1 SBC 1000 SIP Trunk Diagram

3.1 External Peer Side SBC Configuration

Node Interfaces

The Sonus SBC 1000 allows you to configure the identification information, Physical Data Layer, and Networking Layer for the Ethernet ports. If you want to change the IP Address, you must configure the associated Logical

Interface or use the Modify Ethernet IP task found under the Tasks tab.

Settings for the Ethernet connection between the Sonus SBC 1000 and the public Internet are shown in the figures below.

Figure 3.2 External Port

Figure 3.3 Logical Interface

SIP profile

SIP Profiles control the how the Sonus SBC 1000/2000 communicates with SIP devices. They control important characteristics such as: session timers, SIP header customization, SIP timers, MIME payloads, and option tags.

The default SIP profile used for the SBC 1000 for this testing effort is shown in the following figure.

Figure 3.4 SIP profile

Media Profile

Media Profiles allow you to specify the individual voice codecs and their associated settings for inclusion in a Media List. Different codecs provide varying levels of compression allowing one to reduce bandwidth requirements at the expense of voice quality.

The Media Profile Used for the SBC 1000 is shown in the following figure and is for reference only.

Figure 3.5 Media List

Voice Codec Profiles

The Voice Codec Profiles used for the SBC 1000 in this testing effort are shown in the figures below.

Figure 3.6 Voice codec configuration

Figure 3.7 Voice codec configuration

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 server. The Table Entries also contain links to counters that are useful for troubleshooting.

Figure 3.8 SIP Server Table

Static IP Route Table

The Static IP route table feature allows you to route subnets to different IP gateway..

Figure 3.9 SIP Host table

Signaling Groups

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

Figure 3.10 SIP Signaling Group to Windstream

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 are carried, and how they are translated. These tables are one of the central connection points of the system, linking Transformation Tables, Message translations, Cause Code Reroute, Tables, Media Lists and the three types of Signaling Groups (ISDN, SIP and CAS).

Figure 3.11 Call Routing Table PSTN to Lync 2013

Transformation Tables

Transformation Tables facilitate the conversion of names, numbers and other fields when routing a call. They can, for example, 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 they are selected from there. In addition, Transformation tables are configurable as a reusable pool that Action Sets can reference.

Figure 3.12 Transformation Table Match 713343376 range

Trunk Registration

Windstream requires authentication when establishing a SIP Trunk group to the SBC 1000. The Contact Registrant Table is used for registration with remote address and specific configuration.The Remote Authorization table is used for authorization configuration for remote registration.

3.2 Internal Side SBC configuration

Node Interfaces

The Sonus SBC 1000 allows you to configure the Identification information, Physical Data Layer, and Networking Layer for the Ethernet ports. If you want to change the IP Address, you must configure the associated Logical

Interface or use the Modify Ethernet IP task found under the Tasks tab.

Settings for the Ethernet connection between the Sonus SBC 100 and Lync 2013 are shown in the figures below.

Sip Server Table

SIP Server Tables contain information about the SIP devices connected to the Sonus SBC 1000/2000. They, in essence, emulate a traditional ‘SIP trunk group’. The entries in the tables provide information about the IP Addresses, ports, and protocols used to communicate with each server. The Table Entries also contain links to counters that are useful for troubleshooting.

5 SBC and Lync 2013 Specific Configurations

Required settings for the SBC and Microsoft Lync 2013 product depend on the type of call scenario.

5.1 Initial Setup for All Calls

Calling number manipulation

Transformation tables were required for the purpose of mapping preconfigured Lync 2013 user extensions to established Windstream SIP Trunk DIDs. This is not expected to be a requirement for deployment scenarios.

Called number

Normal calling pattern was to dial all digits in E.164 format for both national and international calls. Other dialing patterns tested include Emergency calls.

5.2 Initiating Transfers with REFER

Call transfer via REFER method

Microsoft Lync Server 2013 needs additional configuration in order to enable SIP REFER Method. Refer support needs to be set to Enable sending refer to gateway under Trunk Configuration profile assigned to the appropriate SBC trunk.

Figure 5.1 Sip Server Table

5.3 Initiating Transfers with Re-INVITE

Call transfer via Re-Invite method

Transferring a call to another phone number is supported via the RFC3261 method. No special flag is required to

be set for this method. Ensure that on MS Lync 2013 under the “Trunk Configuration” element that REFER

support is set to “none”.
