Creating standard PPM mapping profiles

Last Updated : Nov 02, 2020 |

About this task

Use this procedure to create standard Personal Profile Manager (PPM) mapping profiles for the following server types:

  • Presence

  • Session Manager

  • Branch Session Manager

For example, you must create a mapping profile for each group of remote workers who use the same pair of Session Manager systems as the primary Session Manager and the secondary Session Manager.

Standard PPM mapping profiles use the set of SIP server profiles, server addresses, signaling interfaces, and mapped transport values that are pre-defined in your system administration. For most deployments, you can use standard PPM mapping profiles.

When creating PPM mapping profiles, consider the following:

  • Within a mapping profile, you can create multiple profile entries.

  • You can administer both standard and custom PPM profile entries in the same mapping profile.

  • If you need to convert a profile entry from standard to custom or custom to standard, record the current settings of the profile entry, delete the profile entry, and readminister the profile entry using the standard or custom options.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the EMS web interface with administrator credentials.
  2. From the Device menu, click the SBC name to administer.
  3. Navigate to DMZ Services > PPM Mapping.
  4. Click the Add button that is above the Mapping Profiles list.

    The system displays a screen similar to the following example:





  5. In the Profile Name field, type the profile name.
  6. Click Next.
  7. In the Server Type field, click one of the following options:

    • Presence

    • Session Manager

    • Branch Session Manager

    For Presence, the system displays the Mapping Profile window, which has options for Server Address and Signaling Interface for the SBC Device. For each option, select one of the pre-defined set of values.

    For Session Manager or Branch Session Manager, the system displays the Mapping Profile window, which has options for SIP Server Profile, Server Address, Signaling Interface, and Mapped Transport. For each option, select one of the pre-defined set of values.

    Important:

    You must use the FQDN of the server in the Server Address option for Presence, Session Manager, and Branch Session Manager servers.

  8. Click Finish.

    The system adds the new mapping profile in the Mapping Profiles list and displays the settings for the profile entry that you created in the Mapping Profile tab.





  9. After adding a new mapping profile, you can do any of the following operations for a mapping profile:

    • (Optional) Click Click here to add a description to add a description of the mapping profile. After you add a description, click Finish. To change the description, click the displayed description.

    • Click Rename to change the name of the mapping profile.

    • Click Clone to duplicate the selected mapping profile under a new name. All profile entries assigned to the original mapping profile are copied over to the new mapping profile with the same options. You can then change those options as needed.

    • Click Delete to delete the mapping profile and all of its profile entries.

  10. For a mapping profile, you can do any of the following operations for the profile entries under the Mapping Profile tab:

    • Click the Add button to create a new profile entry within the selected mapping profile. The options for a new profile entry are the same as when you created a mapping profile the first time. When you add multiple profile entries to a mapping profile, the entries can be either standard or custom profiles.

    • Click Edit to change the options within a profile entry.

    • Click Delete to delete the individual profile entry within the selected mapping profile.
