Quick Add SIP Gateway¶
Overview¶
Quick Add SIP Gateway allows you to configure a new SIP gateway at the site level, with minimum details. Saving the form triggers a background process that uses the information you provide, along with configuration templates, and automatically creates the required elements at the correct hierarchies:
At customer level |
Saving a Quick Add SIP Gateway configuration creates and adds the following elements at the customer level:
|
At site level |
Saving a Quick Add SIP Gateway configuration performs these actions at the site level:
|
Note
Quick Add SIP Gateway does not support incremental configuration of the gateway. Activities such as adding additional ports must be done via the appropriate menus.
While the Quick Add SIP Gateway tool automates the creation and configuration of elements required for the SIP gateway at the customer and site level, you can manually create these elements, if required. For example, to associate an unused or old gateway that was previously associated with a site, to a new site.
In this case, you would need to add these elements at customer and site hierarchies, as follows:
At customer level:
Add the IOS device
Add the SIP trunk
Add the SIP LBO gateway
At the site level:
Associate the gateway to the site
Add the E1/T1 ports (optional)
Add the SIP Gateway and Associated Components¶
In the Admin Portal, choose the site.
Go to (default menus) Apps Management > IOS > Quick Add SIP Gateway to open the Quick Add SIP Gateway form.
On the IOS Device tab, configure IOS gateway details:
Mandatory. Enter a IOS Device Name or select an existing IOS device from the drop-down.
Optional. Add a description for the IOS device.
Optional. Configure Prime Collaboration, if required.
At Network Addresses you must create two network addresses:
To create the first network address, at Address Space, choose SERVICE_PROVIDER_SPACE, then enter the associated IPv4 Address.
Note
This is used to specify the IP address of the IOS device, if one is created.
Create the second network address (as seen from the Unified CM) for the SIP Trunk to use. In this case, at Address Space, choose APPLICATION_SPACE.
Important
The second network is address is critical as it is used to specify the IP address of the SIP trunk.
If you’re using HCMF and Prime Collaboration, fill out the Credentials.
Note
Credentials are required only if you’re using HCMF and Prime Collaboration and you need to pass data to these components. In other scenarios, you can ignore this step since VOSS does not directly communicate with the IOS device or the gateway.
On the SIP Trunk tab, choose a SIP trunk template.
Note
The SIP trunk templates assembles data (such as IPv4) from the details you specified in the Network Addresses section of the IOS Device tab in the previous step.
The Configuration Templates list displays available templates. Type siptrunk in the Name column to filter the list. Existing sample SIP trunk templates can be cloned, modified, and saved under a new name.
On the SIP Gateway tab, complete the relevant fields, for example:
SIP Gateway Name
Mandatory.
Run On Every Node
Enabled by default. Defines whether the Unified CM hosts the trunk everywhere.
Enable Command Builder
Enabled by default.
Note
Country is a read-only field that displays the location of the SIP gateway. The value in this field (the country) is the same as the site to which the SIP gateway will be associated.
Optional. On the Ports tab, add an E1 or T1 port to the gateway:
Enter the required T1 or E1 Port Number, and a description.
Note
Port numbers should be formatted as follows:
x/x/x(unit/subunit/port)Choose a Port Template. The template drives the values defined for E1 and T1.
Note
Existing sample port templates can be cloned, modified, and saved under a new name.
Click Save.
Once the transaction completes:
The IOS Device, SIP Trunk, SIP LBO Gateway are created at the customer level
The SIP LBO Gateway is associated to the site
The optional E1 and T1 ports are created at the site level
