Creating external signaling interface toward Trunk-side server

Last Updated : Apr 26, 2023 |

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 left navigation pane, click Network & Flows > Signaling Interface.

    The left Application pane displays the list of signaling interfaces, and the Content pane displays the parameters of the selected signaling interface.

  4. In the upper-right corner of the Content pane, click Add.

    The system displays the Add Signaling Interface window.

  5. In the Name field, type a descriptive name for the external signaling interface for the phone network.
  6. In the IP Address field, select the IP address of the external signaling interface.
  7. Depending on the transport protocol you are using for your network, do the following:

    • If you use TCP, in the TCP Port field, type the TCP port number. The default TCP port number is 5060.

    • If you use UDP, in the UDP Port field, type the UDP port number. The default UDP port number is 5060.

    • If you use TLS, in the TLS Port field, type the TLS port number. The default TLS port number is 5061.

    When you specify the TLS port, the system enables the TLS Profile and Enable Shared Control fields.

    Note:

    • TLS is a secure protocol. To use TLS, you must have advanced session licenses and encryption licenses.

    • Use the B1 interface as the external signaling interface.

    • Enable only the transport protocols that you want to use.

  8. From the TLS Profile field, select the appropriate Avaya SBC TLS profile name.

    You can also use third-party certificates.

    If you specify the TLS port number, then you must select a TLS profile. Otherwise, leave this field blank.

  9. Click Finish.
    Note:

    To configure multiple Session Managers, repeat this task to add the second signaling interface.
