Quick Installation Guide 3. Configuring the MediaPack Table 3-3: Number Manipulation Parameters Description Parameter Description Source IP (Applicable only to the ‘Destination Phone Number Manipulation Table for IP to Tel’) Source IP address of the call (obtained from the Contact header in the INVITE message). Note: The source IP address can include the ‘x’ wildcard to represent single digits. For example: 10.8.8.xx represents all the addresses between 10.8.8.10 to 10.8.8.99.
MP-11x & Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 3.3.2.4.2 Number Normalization Examples Two examples are provided below for number normalization. The examples are based on the following assumptions: a PBX with prefix (local) number 333 and a 4-digit extension number that begins with the digit 1 (i.e., 1xxx); National area code 206; International code 1. Modifying E.
Quick Installation Guide 3. Configuring the MediaPack Modifying PBX, Local, and National Calls to E.164 Format for Inbound Calls: Inbound calls refer to calls received by OCS clients connected through IP to the Office Communications Server 2007. 1. Local calls from the PBX or PSTN: the PBX user only dials a 4-digit extension number of the OCS client (e.g., 1220). The gateway's Manipulation table is configured to normalize the number into E.
MP-11x & Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 3.3.2.5 Defining Answer Supervision When there is a call from Office Communications Server 2007 to the gateway, the gateway behavior depends on whether or not the Answer Supervision feature is enabled. If Answer Supervision is enabled, the gateway detects (by speech detection) when the called party answers the call (i.e., if the called party says “hello” or any other word), and only then sends a 200 OK + SDP SIP message.
Quick Installation Guide 3.3.2.6 3. Configuring the MediaPack Defining Automatic Dialing When using the One-to-One option, each PBX line that is connected to an FXO port serves one OCS client. You must define automatic dialing for each FXO port connected to the OCS client. ¾ To define Automatic Dialing, take these 4 steps: 1. Open the ‘Automatic Dialing’ screen (Protocol Management menu > Endpoint Settings > Automatic Dialing). Figure 3-16: Automatic Dialing Screen 2.
MP-11x & Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 3.3.2.7 Enabling Caller ID If the Caller ID service is enabled, the gateway detects the Caller ID signal from the Tel side (PBX / PSTN) and sends it to Mediation Server over IP in the SIP INVITE message. Therefore, to allow the OCS clients to receive caller ID, enable the Caller ID service at the gateway.
Quick Installation Guide 3.3.2.8 3. Configuring the MediaPack Defining SIP Transport Type The procedure below describes how to configure the SIP transport type. You may need to change the gateway's SIP transport type from UDP (default) to TCP, since this is the transport type used by Mediation Server. ¾ To define the SIP transport type, take these 3 steps: 1. Open the ‘General Parameters’ screen (Protocol Management menu > Protocol Definition > General Parameters).
MP-11x & Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 3.3.2.9 Defining Disconnect on Broken Connection The procedure below describes how to configure the Disconnect on Broken Connection parameter. Since Mediation Server uses Silence Suppression, it may not send Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) packets during the detection of silence in the call. To avoid call disconnection by the gateway (due to RTP packets not being transmitted), you may need to disable the parameter 'Disconnect on Broken Connection'.
Quick Installation Guide 3. Configuring the MediaPack 3.3.2.10 Defining DTMF Payload Type The procedure below describes how to define the dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) payload type. The DTMF payload type used by Mediation Server is 101. You may need to set this value at the gateway as well. ¾ To define the DTMF payload type, take these 3 steps: 1. Open the ‘DTMF & Dialing’ screen (Protocol Management menu > Protocol Definition > DTMF & Dialing). Figure 3-20: DTMF & Dialing Screen 2 2.
MP-11x & Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 3.3.2.11 Enabling One-Stage Dialing One-stage dialing is when the gateway receives an IP-to-Tel call, off-hooks the PBX line connected to the PBX / PSTN telephone, and then immediately dials the destination telephone number. In other words, the OCS client (i.e., IP caller) doesn't dial the PSTN number upon hearing a dial tone. ¾ To enable one-stage dialing, take these 3 steps: 1.
Quick Installation Guide 3. Configuring the MediaPack 3.3.2.12 Defining Channel Select Mode Channel select modes determine the method in which new IP-to-Tel calls (i.e., calls from OCS clients to PBX/PSTN phones) are assigned to gateway ports (i.e., channels). It is recommended to select the Cyclic Ascending mode, which selects the next available channel in an ascending cycle order. ¾ To define the Channel Select mode, take these 3 steps: 1.
MP-11x & Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 3.3.2.13 Disabling RTCP Attribute By default, the RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) attribute (EnableRTCPAttribute) is enabled. However, you need to disable it by using the AdminPage of the Embedded Web Server. ¾ To disable the RTCP attribute, take these 5 steps: 1. In the Web browser's URL field, append the case-sensitive suffix ‘AdminPage’ to the IP address (e.g., http://10.1.229.17/AdminPage). 2.
