Configuring PRI trunk between Avaya Aura Communication Manager 5.2.1 and Avaya IP Office 6.0 Issue 1.0

Avaya Solution & Interoperability Test Lab Configuring PRI trunk between Avaya Aura Communication Manager 5.2.1 and Avaya IP Office 6.0 Issue 1.0 Abstract These Application Notes present a sample configuration for a network that uses a PRI trunk between Avaya Aura Communication Manager 5.2.1 and Avaya IP Office. For the sample configuration, Avaya IP Office runs on IP Office server 500 and Avaya Aura Communication Manager runs on Avaya G650 Media Gateway and Avaya S8730 servers. Testing was conducted via the Avaya Solution and Interoperability Test Lab. 1 of 24

1. Introduction These Application Notes present a sample configuration for a network that uses a PRI trunk to connect Avaya IP Office to Avaya Aura Communication Manager to simulate PSTN calls. All calls between Avaya IP Office and Avaya Aura Communication Manager are carried over the PRI trunk. Avaya Aura Communication Manager supports routing calls to Avaya IP Office based on the dialed number, ARS (Automatic Route Selection), dial pattern for the branch, and the extension number. Avaya Aura Communication Manager 5.2.1 runs on an Avaya S8730 Server with Avaya G650 Media Gateway. The results in these Application Notes should be applicable to other Avaya servers and media gateways that support Avaya Aura Communication Manager 5.2.1. For the sample configuration, Avaya IP Office runs on the 500 platform and is administered by Avaya IP Office Manager. As shown in Figure 1, Avaya 96xx IP Telephones (H.323) are supported by Communication Manager. Avaya 56XX, 1608, 4621(H.323), 96XX IP Telephones (H.323 & SIP) and 24xx Digital Telephones are used as Avaya IP Office endpoints. Figure 1 depicts Avaya Aura Communication Manager directly connected to Avaya IP Office using PRI over a DSI trunk to simulate outside calls from PSTN reaching stations on Avaya IP Office.

5.1. Verify Avaya Aura Communication Manager Use the Communication Manager SAT interface to verify the status of the PRI trunk group. Use the status trunk n command, where n is the trunk group number administered in Section 4.4.2. Verify that all trunks are in the in-service/idle state as shown below. status trunk 32 Page 1 TRUNK GROUP STATUS Member Port Service State Mtce Connected Ports Busy 0032/001 01A1201 in-service/idle no 0032/002 01A1202 in-service/idle no 0032/003 01A1203 in-service/idle no 0032/004 01A1204 in-service/idle no 0032/005 01A1205 in-service/idle no 0032/006 01A1206 in-service/idle no 0032/007 01A1207 in-service/idle no 0032/008 01A1208 in-service/idle no 0032/009 01A1209 in-service/idle no 0032/010 01A1210 in-service/idle no 0032/011 01A1211 in-service/idle no 0032/012 01A1212 in-service/idle no 0032/013 01A1213 in-service/idle no 0032/014 01A1214 in-service/idle no 20 of 24

Verify the status of the PRI signaling group by using the status signaling-group n command, where n is the signaling group number administered in Section 4.4.1. Verify the signaling group is in-service as indicated in the Group State field shown below. status signaling-group 32 STATUS SIGNALING GROUP Group ID: 32 Active NCA-TSC Count: 0 Group Type: isdn-pri Active CA-TSC Count: 0 Signaling Type: facility associated signaling Group State: in-service Primary D-Channel Port: 01A1224 Level 3 State: in-service Secondary D-Channel Port: Level 3 State: no-link Make a call between Avaya 9600 Series IP Telephone and Avaya IP Office IP Telephone. Verify the status of connected PRI trunks by using the status trunk x/y, where x is the number of the PRI trunk Group from Section 4.4.2 to reach Avaya IP Office, and y is the member Number of a connected trunk. On Page 1 verify that the Service State is in-service/active and Connect Ports :< port number>. status trunk 32/1 Page 1 of 2 TRUNK STATUS Trunk Group/Member: 0032/001 Port: 01A1201 Signaling Group ID: 32 IGAR Connection? no Service State: in-service/active Maintenance Busy? no CA-TSC state: not allowed Connected Ports: S01582 On Page 2 verify the status of the talk path for the call. status trunk 32/1 Page 2 of 2 SRC PORT TO DEST PORT TALKPATH src port: 01A1201 01A1201:TX:tdm:a99 01A0502:RX:tdm:a99:TX:10.0.0.235:2420/g711u/20ms S01582:RX:10.255.255.210:2050/g711u/20ms dst port: S01582 21 of 24

5.2. Verify Avaya IP Office IP Office can be debugged with the System Status Application. Log into the IP Office Manager PC and select Start > Programs > IP Office > System Status to launch the application. Log into the application using the appropriate credentials. Make a call from station on Communication Manager to Avaya IP Office endpoint. In the left panel, double-click on the Trunks entry and select PRI trunk created in Section 3.4. Press the Trace All button. The messages on the line are displayed. 22 of 24

5.3. Verification Scenarios Verification scenarios for the configuration described in these Application Notes included the following: Place a call from an extension on the Avaya IP Office to an extension on Communication Manager. Answer the call and verify talkpath. Repeat previous case in the opposite direction. Verify that calls can be transferred from an extension on Avaya IP Office to an extension on Communication Manager. Verify that calls can be conferenced between extensions on Communication Manager to an extension on Avaya IP Office. Verify that extensions on Avaya IP Office can conference in extensions on Communication Manager. Verify that calls can be transferred from extensions on Communication Manager to an extension on Avaya IP Office. Proper display of the calling and called party name and number information was verified for all calls. 6. Conclusions These Application Notes describe how to configure a sample configuration for a network that uses a PRI trunk between Avaya Aura Communication Manager 5.2.1 and Avaya IP Office to simulate calls from PSTN. Interoperability testing included verification of successful calls among several types of endpoints with various features including hold unhold, conference, Callforward, Do-Not-Disturb etc. 7.
