Last Updated : Apr 25, 2023 |

About this task

Important:

The features Media Unanchoring and Delayed SDP Handling cannot both be enabled for a call. For more information about administering these features, see Media unanchoring and Server interworking.

Before you begin

Configure a session policy profile, and then use the profile to create a session flow.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the EMS web interface with administrator credentials.
  2. From the Device menu, click the SBC name to administer.
  3. In the navigation pane, click Domain Policies > Session Policies.
  4. On the Session Policies page, in the Session Policies section, click an existing session policy and then click the Media tab.
  5. Clear the Media Anchoring field.
    Note:
    • If you clear the media anchoring check box, media forking profile becomes unavailable. If you want to use the media forking feature, Avaya SBC cannot unanchor the media.

    • In a deployment, if a network has a remote Avaya SBC deployed before the core Avaya SBC deployment and a subnet user is behind a NAT device, you can unanchor media for the core Avaya SBC.

  6. In the Call Type for Media Unanchoring field, click one of the following:
    • Media Tromboning Only: To release media for hairpin calls.

    • All: To release media for all calls including hairpin and non-hairpin calls.

  7. Click Finish.
