Avaya Solution & Interoperability Test Lab Application Notes for AudioCodes MP-124 Analog VoIP Gateway with Avaya SIP Enablement Services and Avaya Communication Manager – Issue 1.0 Abstract These Application Notes describe the configuration procedures required for the AudioCodes MP-124 Analog VoIP Gateway to interoperate with Avaya SIP Enablement Services and Avaya Communication Manager via a SIP interface. The AudioCodes MP-124 Analog VoIP Gateway provides voice technology to connect analog telephones, fax machines and modems to SIP servers and IP based PBX systems. In the reference test network simulating a hosted telephony solution, this technology enabled the analog endpoints behind the AudioCodes MP124 Analog VoIP Gateway at the customer enterprise sites to register with Avaya SIP Enablement Services at the service provider data center, effectively making the analog endpoints appear as SIP endpoints. These analog endpoints were then able to utilize the telephony features of Avaya Communication Manager. Information in these Application Notes has been obtained through DeveloperConnection compliance testing and additional technical discussions. Testing was conducted via the DeveloperConnection Program at the Avaya Solution and Interoperability Test Lab.

Introduction These Application Notes describe the configuration procedures required for the AudioCodes MP-124 Analog VoIP Gateway to interoperate with Avaya SIP Enablement Services (SES) and Avaya Communication Manager via a SIP interface. The AudioCodes MP-124 Analog VoIP Gateway provides voice technology to connect analog telephones, fax machines and modems to SIP servers and IP based PBX systems. In the reference test network simulating a hosted telephony solution, this technology enabled the audio endpoints behind the AudioCodes MP-124 Analog VoIP Gateway at the customer enterprise sites to register with Avaya SIP Enablement Services server at the service provider data center, effectively making the analog endpoints appear as SIP endpoints. These analog endpoints were then able to utilize the telephony features of Avaya Communication Manager. The AudioCodes MP-124 Analog VoIP Gateway (MP-124) incorporates 24 analog ports for connection to telephones, fax machines and modems, supporting 24 simultaneous VoIP calls. 1.1. Reference Test Network Figure 1 shows the reference configuration used for simulating a hosted telephony solution with two customer enterprise sites and a service provider data center. The service provider data center site consists of an Avaya SES server, an Avaya G650 Media Gateway, and an Avaya S8500 Media Server running Avaya Communication Manager and Avaya IA770 Intuity Audix. The access to the PSTN for all enterprise customers was provided by an ISDN PRI trunk from the Avaya G650 Media Gateway. Each enterprise site consists of a MP-124 with the analog ports connected to analog telephones, and a fax machine or a modem. The MP-124 is connected to the service provider data center network over an IP network via an Avaya C363T-PWR Converged Stackable Switch. Avaya 4600 Series IP Telephones (H.323) were also located at the enterprise sites to verify calls to and from the analog endpoints behind the MP-124. These Avaya 4600 Series IP Telephones registered directly with Avaya Communication Manager. CTM; Reviewed: SPOC 4/19/2007 Solution & Interoperability Test Lab Application Notes ©2007 Avaya Inc.

Configure Avaya Communication Manager This section describes the necessary configuration on Avaya Communication Manager to interoperate with the SIP interface of Avaya SES. The following configuration of Avaya Communication Manager was performed using the System Access Terminal (SAT). After completion of the configuration in this section, perform a save translation command to make the changes permanent. 3.1. Configure SIP Trunking This section describes the steps for configuring a SIP trunk group between Avaya Communication Manager and Avaya SES. Avaya SES acts as a SIP proxy for the service provider data center in Figure 1. Thus, the MP-124 will direct all SIP traffic bound for the service provider data center to the Avaya SES located there. Avaya SES will then forward the inbound SIP traffic to Avaya Communication Manager. The path is the same in the reverse direction with SIP signaling flowing from Avaya Communication Manager to Avaya SES and then to the MP-124. As a result, the SIP trunk group configured in this section carries all the SIP signaling bound to the service provider data center from the MP-124 at the customer enterprise sites and vice versa. The following steps were performed at the service provider data center in the configuration shown in Figure 1.

Description Use the display system-parameters customer-options command to verify that sufficient SIP trunk capacity exists. On Page 2, verify that the number of SIP trunks supported by the system is sufficient for the number of SIP trunks needed. Each SIP call between two SIP endpoints (whether internal or external) requires two SIP trunks for the duration of the call. Thus, a call between two analog telephones behind the MP-124 will use two SIP trunks. A call between an analog telephone behind the MP-124 and a non-SIP service provider (e.g., PSTN trunk) will only use one SIP trunk. The license file installed on the system controls the maximum permitted. If a required feature is not enabled or there is insufficient capacity, contact an authorized Avaya sales representative to make the appropriate changes. display system-parameters customer-options OPTIONAL FEATURES Page IP PORT CAPACITIES Maximum Administered H.323 Trunks: Maximum Concurrently Registered IP Stations: Maximum Administered Remote Office Trunks: Maximum Concurrently Registered Remote Office Stations: Maximum Concurrently Registered IP eCons: Max Concur Registered Unauthenticated H.323 Stations: Maximum Video Capable H.323 Stations: Maximum Video Capable IP Softphones: Maximum Administered SIP Trunks: Maximum Number of DS1 Boards with Echo Cancellation: Maximum TN2501 VAL Boards: Maximum G250/G350/G700 VAL Sources: Maximum TN2602 Boards with 80 VoIP Channels: Maximum TN2602 Boards with 320 VoIP Channels: Maximum Number of Expanded Meet-me Conference Ports: 800 2400 0 0 0 0 0 0 800 USED 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 200 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 of 10 (NOTE: You must logoff & login to effect the permission changes.) 2. Use the change node-names ip command to assign the node name and IP address for Avaya SES at the service provider data center. In this case, ses and 192.168.10.50 are being used, respectively. The node name ses will be used throughout the other configuration forms of Avaya Communication Manager. In this example, CLAN and 192.168.10.43 are the name and IP address assigned to the CLAN IP interface on the Avaya G650 Media Gateway. change node-names ip Name CLAN MEDPRO default procr ses CTM; Reviewed: SPOC 4/19/2007 Page IP NODE NAMES IP Address Name 192.168.10 .43 192.168.10 .42 0 .0 .0 .0 192.168.10 .40 192.168.10 .50 Solution & Interoperability Test Lab Application Notes ©2007 Avaya Inc.

Description Use the change ip-network-region n command, where n is the number of the region to be changed, to define the connectivity settings for all VoIP resources and IP endpoints within the IP region. Select an IP network region that will contain the Avaya SES server. The association between this IP network region and the Avaya SES server will be done on the Signaling Group form as shown in Step 5. In the case of the tested configuration, the same IP network region that contains the Avaya S8500 Media Server was selected to contain the Avaya SES server. By default, the Media Server is in IP network region 1. On the IP Network Region form: ƒ The Authoritative Domain field is configured to match the domain name configured on Avaya SES. In this configuration, the domain name is test.com. This name will appear in the “From” header of SIP messages originating from this IP region. ƒ By default, IP-IP Direct Audio (shuffling) is enabled to allow audio traffic to be sent directly between IP endpoints without using media resources in the Avaya G650 Media Gateway. This is true for both intra-region and inter-region calls. Shuffling can be further restricted at the trunk level on the Signaling Group form. ƒ The Codec Set is set to the number of the IP codec set to be used for calls within this IP network region. In this configuration, this codec set will apply to all calls to and from the MP-124 as well as any IP telephone within the enterprise. If different IP network regions are used for the Avaya S8500 Media Server and the Avaya SES server, then Page 3 of each IP Network Region form (not shown) must be used to specify the codec set for inter-region communications. ƒ The default values can be used for all other fields. change ip-network-region 1 Page 1 of 19 IP NETWORK REGION Region: 1 Location: Authoritative Domain: test.com Name: CM MEDIA PARAMETERS Intra-region IP-IP Direct Audio: yes Codec Set: 1 Inter-region IP-IP Direct Audio: yes UDP Port Min: 2048 IP Audio Hairpinning? n UDP Port Max: 65531 DIFFSERV/TOS PARAMETERS RTCP Reporting Enabled? y Call Control PHB Value: 46 RTCP MONITOR SERVER PARAMETERS Audio PHB Value: 46 Use Default Server Parameters? y Video PHB Value: 26 802.1P/Q PARAMETERS Call Control 802.1p Priority: 6 Audio 802.1p Priority: 6 Video 802.1p Priority: 5 AUDIO RESOURCE RESERVATION PARAMETERS H.323 IP ENDPOINTS RSVP Enabled? n H.323 Link Bounce Recovery? y Idle Traffic Interval (sec): 20 Keep-Alive Interval (sec): 5 Keep-Alive Count: 5 CTM; Reviewed: SPOC 4/19/2007 Solution & Interoperability Test Lab Application Notes ©2007 Avaya Inc.

Description Use the change ip-codec-set n command, where n is the codec set value specified in Step 3, to enter the supported audio codecs for calls routed to Avaya SES and to the MP-124. Multiple codecs can be listed in priority order to allow the codec to be negotiated during call establishment. The list should include the codecs the enterprise wishes to support within the normal trade-off of bandwidth versus voice quality. It must include at least one codec configured on the MP-124.

Description Use the add signaling group n command, where n is the number of an unused signaling group, to create the SIP signaling group as follows: ƒ Set the Group Type field to sip. ƒ The Transport Method field will default to tls (Transport Layer Security). TLS is the only link protocol that is supported for communication between Avaya SES and Avaya Communication Manager. ƒ Specify the node name CLAN on Avaya S8500 Media Server and the node name ses for Avaya SES Server as the two ends of the signaling group in the Near-end Node Name and the Far-end Node Name fields, respectively. These field values are taken from the IP Node Names form shown in Step 2. In configurations that do not use a CLAN board, the near (local) end of the SIP signaling group will be the procr instead of the CLAN board. ƒ Ensure that the TLS port value of 5061 is configured in the Near-end Listen Port and the Far-end Listen Port fields. ƒ In the Far-end Network Region field, enter the IP network region value assigned in the IP Network Region form in Step 3. This defines which IP network region contains the Avaya SES server. If the Far-end Network Region field is different from the near-end network region, the preferred codec will be selected from the IP codec set assigned for the inter-region connectivity for the pair of network regions. ƒ Enter the domain name of Avaya SES in the Far-end Domain field. In this configuration, the domain name is test.com as configured in Step 3. This domain is specified in the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the SIP “To” header in the INVITE message. ƒ The Direct IP-IP Audio Connections field is set to y to enable the direct audio path (shuffling) between the two IP endpoints. ƒ The DTMF over IP field must be set to the default value of rtp-payload for a SIP trunk. This value enables Avaya Communication Manager to send DTMF transmissions using RFC 2833. ƒ The default values for the other fields may be used. add signaling-group 1 Page 1 of 1 SIGNALING GROUP Group Number: 1 Group Type: sip Transport Method: tls Near-end Node Name: CLAN Near-end Listen Port: 5061 Far-end Node Name: ses Far-end Listen Port: 5061 Far-end Network Region: 1 Far-end Domain: test.com Bypass If IP Threshold Exceeded? y DTMF over IP: rtp-payload CTM; Reviewed: SPOC 4/19/2007 Direct IP-IP Audio Connections? y IP Audio Hairpinning? y Solution & Interoperability Test Lab Application Notes ©2007 Avaya Inc.

For the compliance test, trunk group number 1 was chosen. On Page 1, set the fields to the following values: ƒ Set the Group Type field to sip. ƒ Choose a descriptive Group Name. ƒ Specify an available trunk access code (TAC) that is consistent with the existing dial plan. ƒ Set the Service Type field to tie. ƒ Specify the signaling group associated with this trunk group in the Signaling Group field as previously specified in Step 5. ƒ Specify the Number of Members supported by this SIP trunk group. As mentioned earlier, each SIP call between two SIP destinations (whether internal or external) requires two SIP trunks for the duration of the call. Thus, a call between two SIP extensions, e.g., two telephones behind the MP-124, will use two SIP trunks. A call between a SIP extension and the PSTN will only use one SIP trunk. ƒ The default values may be retained for the other fields. add trunk-group 1 Page 1 of 21 TRUNK GROUP Group Number: Group Name: Direction: Dial Access?

Configure SIP Stations The analog endpoints (e.g., analog telephones, fax machines and modems) behind the MP-124 are considered SIP stations from the point of view of Avaya Communication Manager. This section describes the steps for configuring SIP stations. SIP stations are administered as off-PBX station (OPS) stations. Many advanced PBX features are available to OPS stations such as call park, call pickup, and priority calls. These features are activated by dialing feature access codes (FAC) or by dialing special extensions known as feature name extensions (FNE). For more details, see [6] and [7]. The configuration for feature access codes and feature name extensions is not in the scope of this document. Step 1.

Description From the left pane of the administration web interface, expand the Media Servers option and select Add to add the Avaya Media Server to the list of media servers known to Avaya SES. Adding the media server will create the Avaya SES side of the SIP trunk previously created in Avaya Communication Manager. On the Add Media Server Interface page, enter the following information: ƒ A descriptive name in the Media Server Interface Name field (e.g., s8500clan). ƒ In the Host field, select the IP address of the Avaya SES server from the pulldown menu that will serve as the SIP proxy for this media server. Since there is only one Avaya SES server in this configuration, the Host field is set to the host shown in Step 5. ƒ Select TLS (Transport Link Security) for the Link Type. TLS provides encryption at the transport layer. TLS is the only link protocol that is supported for communication between Avaya SES and Avaya Communication Manager. ƒ Enter the IP address of the C-LAN in the SIP Trunk IP Address field. In configurations that do not use a C-LAN board, the SIP Trunk IP Address would be the IP address of the Avaya Media Server. ƒ The default values may be retained for all other fields. ƒ After completing the Add Media Server Interface page, click the Add button.

Description Inbound SIP calls arriving at Avaya SES are routed to the appropriate Avaya Communication Manager for termination services. In the compliance test configuration, which has a single Avaya Media Server, calls originating from SIP endpoints registered to the SES (like the MP-124) will be automatically routed to the Avaya Media Server. Thus, strictly speaking, the Media Server Address Maps described below are not necessary. However, these maps were present during the testing and thus are described below for completeness. Media Server Address Maps route calls by comparing the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of an incoming INVITE message to the pattern configured in the Media Server Address Map. If there is a match, the call is routed to the designated Avaya Communication Manager. The URI usually takes the form of sip:user@domain, where domain can be a domain name or an IP address. Patterns must be specific enough to uniquely route incoming calls to the proper destination if there are multiple Avaya Media Servers supported by the Avaya SES server. The next step shows an example of an address map to match the dialing of an Avaya Communication Manager FAC. In the compliance test, 3-digit numbers beginning with digit 8 were configured as FACs.

All rights reserved. 43 of 45 AudioCodesMP124 APPENDIX A: Specifying Pattern Strings in Address Maps The syntax for the pattern matching used within Avaya SES is a Linux regular expression used to match against the URI string found in the SIP INVITE message. Regular expressions are a way to describe text through pattern matching. The regular expression is a string containing a combination of normal text characters, which match themselves, and special metacharacters, which may represent items like quantity, location or types of character(s). In the pattern matching string used in Avaya SES: ƒ Normal text characters and numbers match themselves. ƒ Common metacharacters used are: o A period . matches any character once (and only once). o An asterisk * matches zero or more of the preceding characters. o Square brackets enclose a list of any character to the matched. Ranges are designated by using a hyphen. Thus, the expression [12345] or [1-5] both describe a pattern that will match any single digit between 1 and 5. o Curley brackets containing an integer ‘n’ indicate that the preceding character must be matched exactly ‘n’ time. Thus, 5{3} matches ‘555’ and [0-9]{10} indicates any 10 digit number. o The caret character ^ as the first character in the pattern indicates that the string must begin with the character following the circumflex. Putting these constructs together as used in this document, the pattern to match the SIP INVITE string for any valid 1+ 10 digit number in the North American dial plan would be: ^sip:1[0-9]{10} This reads as: “Strings that begin with exactly sip:1 and having any 10 digits following will match. A typical INVITE request below uses the shaded portion to illustrate the matching pattern.
