5 CHAPTER 1 Integration Overview The EasyCall Gateway has been tested for interoperability with Avaya S8300/S87xx- Series. The sample inter-switch configuration tested included the following Avaya telephony systems: Avaya S87xx-Series Server (Avaya Communication Manager 5.0) Avaya G650 Media Gateway Interfaces: IP Server Interface (TN2312BP) C-LAN Interface (TN799DP) IP Media Processor (TN2302AP) Avaya SIP Enablement Services (R ) Avaya S8300-Series Server (Avaya Communication Manager 5.0) Avaya G700 Media Gateway Avaya SIP Enablement Services (R ) To enable the EasyCall Gateway to work with those Avaya systems, you must configure the telephony system trunk between SIP Enablement Services and Avaya Communication Manager and the EasyCall Gateway. The configuration can be done in tandem with EasyCall Gateway installation and configuration, which includes defining the properties of the telephony system trunk and defining any changes the EasyCall Gateway makes to telephone numbers before sending them to the telephony system for dialing. For information about EasyCall Gateway configuration, refer to the EasyCall Gateway Administrator s Guide. Those responsible for configuring the telephone system must take the specific characteristics of a site into consideration to detemine the settings that are appropriate for the site. Configuration of the Avaya telephone system for integration with the EasyCall Gateway is similar to integration with a voic system. The following topics describe how to configure trunks for the supported Avaya systems. Equipment Requirements on page 2 Call Detail Records on page 2 Integrating with Avaya S8300/S87xx-Series through a SIP Trunk on page 3

6 2 EasyCall Gateway Telephony System Integrator s Guide Equipment Requirements Only the EasyCall Gateway appliance is required to integrate with the Avaya telephony system. The following diagram shows the integrated components. Call Detail Records Avaya telephony system integrated with the EasyCall Gateway As shown in the diagram, the SIP trunk makes telephone calls over an Internet connection. The use of SIP trunks does not require modification to your existing telephony system or Internet connections and does not require PRI hardware or telephony system upgrades. Only outbound SIP trunks are required; the number of trunk channels used can be scaled to your needs. For information on capacity planning, refer to the EasyCall Gateway Administrator s Guide. A Call Detail Record (CDR) is a file that contains information about calls placed through the EasyCall Gateway. Information provided in the CDRs can be used for billing calls to cost centers and for auditing potential abuse. Each call placed through EasyCall generates two outbound records.

7 CHAPTER 2 Integrating with Avaya S8300/S87xx- Series through a SIP Trunk This chapter describes an example configuration of Avaya S8300/S87xx-Series for integration with the EasyCall Gateway through a SIP trunk. A network diagram for the example configuration follows. Example network diagram The example configurations are performed through the Avaya Communication Manager administration software screens, also known as SAT (System Access Terminal) screens. In some instances, the information from the original screen has been edited for brevity and clarity in presentation.

Configuring Avaya Communication Manager The following topics describe the Avaya Communication Manager configuration required for integration with the EasyCall Gateway: Configuring an IP Network Region on page 5 Configuring the IP Node Name on page 6 Configuring SIP Signaling on page 6 Configuring the SIP Trunk on page 8

9 Chapter 2 Integrating with Avaya S8300/S87xx-Series through a SIP Trunk 5 Configuring an IP Network Region Use the following procedure to configure an IP network region needed for communication between Avaya Communication Manager and Avaya SIP Enablement Services. To configure an IP network region 1. Enter change ip-network-region n, where n is a number from 1 through Set Authoritative Domain to the same SIP Domain value configured on Avaya SIP Enablement Services (see Verifying the SIP Domain for the SES Server on page 9). In this example, the SIP Domain is testroom.com. 3. The Direct IP Feature (shuffle) must be turned off for Communication Manager operation with the EasyCall Gateway. Set Intra-region IP-IP Direct Audio and Inter-region IP-IP Direct Audio to no. Turning off shuffle denies direct IP-to-IP audio connectivity between endpoints registered to Avaya Communication Manager or Avaya SIP Enablement Services in the same IP network region or in different IP network regions. Thus, the audio path will always include the media processor board.

10 6 EasyCall Gateway Telephony System Integrator s Guide Configuring the IP Node Name To set the IP node name for Avaya SIP Enablement Services Enter change node-names ip SES, where SES is the name for the Avaya SIP Enablement Services node. In the following example, the Avaya SIP Enablement Services node is SIP. You will also need to enter the Avaya SIP Enablement Services IP address. Configuring SIP Signaling The following procedure describes the configuration of two signaling groups, one for Avaya Communication Manager and Avaya SIP Enablement Services and the other for Avaya Communication Manager and EasyCall Gateway. To configure the signaling groups 1. For the Avaya Communication Manager and Avaya SIP Enablement Services signaling group, enter add signaling-group s, where s is an available signaling group and configure the following settings: Group Type = sip Near-end Node Name = the node name (in the sample configuration, this node name is CLAN) Far-end Node Name = the SIP Enablement Services node name configured in Configuring the IP Node Name on page 6 (in the sample configuration, this node name is SIP) Far-end Network Region = the region configured in (in the sample configuration, this region is 1) Far-end Domain = the SIP Domain value (in the sample configuration, this domain is testroom.com). This setting comes from the domain specified in Configuring an IP Network Region on page 5.
