Configuring Avaya Aura Media Server settings

Last Updated : Apr 02, 2021 |

About this task

This procedure describes how to configure Avaya Aura® Media Server to enable Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) and video processing.

Note:

For performance reasons, Avaya recommends that you use the client-side TURN service. Use server-side TURN only if you cannot use client-side TURN due to your deployment limitations.

For more information about setting up Avaya Aura® Media Server, see Implementing and Administering Avaya Aura® Media Server.

Before you begin

Ensure that WebLM server licensing is configured and enabled in Avaya Aura® Media Server.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Avaya Aura® Media Server Element Manager using the URL https://<AMS_EM_FQDN>:8443/emlogin/.
  2. Navigate to System Configuration > Server Profile > General Settings.
  3. Select Firewall NAT Tunneling Media Processor and Video Media Processor and then click Save.
  4. Navigate to System Configuration > Signaling Protocols > REST > General Settings.
  5. Select Enable TLS Mutual Authentication and click Save.
  6. Do the following to enable the TURN service on the client side:
    1. Log in to the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway administration portal.
    2. Navigate to External Access > Session Border Controller.
    3. elect the Enable TURN in WebRTC client check box.
    4. On the Avaya Aura® Media Server Element Manager, navigate to System Configuration > Media Processing > ICE > STUN/TURN Servers.
    5. Ensure that all STUN and TURN servers are disabled.

    For more information about enabling client side TURN for the WebRTC clients, see the sections in WebRTC client side TURN configuration.

  7. Optional If you cannot use client-side TURN in your deployment, do the following to enable server-side TURN:
    1. on the Avaya Aura® Media Server Element Manager, navigate to System Configuration > Media Processing > ICE > STUN/TURN Servers.
    2. Select the required STUN and TURN servers.
    Tip:
    You can verify the network configuration when you are using Avaya Session Border Controller (Avaya SBC) to provide the STUN/TURN service. The STUN/TURN address and port configured on the media server must match the STUN/TURN Listen IP & Listen port that are configured for the A1 interface of the Avaya SBC. You must also use the default values for the following settings:

    • Protocol: UDP.

    • Priority: 0.

    • Weight: 10.

    • Account: disabled.

  8. Navigate to Licensing > General Settings and ensure that WebLM server licensing is enabled.
  9. Navigate to Licensing > Monitoring and ensure that Avaya Aura® Media Server has acquired licenses.
  10. For the changes to take effect, navigate to System Status > Element Status and click Restart.
