Configuration

Overview

You can configure the CSP and SIP using either the SwitchKit Converged Services Administrator (CSA) GUI or the EXS API. The EXS API messages related to SIP are included in this document. For information on CSA, see the Converged Services Administrator User’s Guide.

Basic Configuration Steps

The following are the basic steps to configure SIP software.

1. Activate SIP Software with product license keys For details, refer to Downloading License Keys in the Licensing Overview chapter in the Developer’s Guide: Overview and the Product License Download message (0x0079) in the API Reference.

2. Assign IP Network Interface card IP Addresses.

3. Assign Logical Span IDs for IP Network Interface.

4. Configure Answer Supervision for Notify Host of Answer using the PPL Configure (0x00D7) message.

5. Bring the spans in service.

6. Bring the channels in service.

7. Configure optional IP Network Interface attributes.

8. Configure Routing.

9. Configure SIP attributes.

SIP Attributes

The following configuration options are supported for SIP using TLVs in the VoIP Protocol Configure (0x00EE) message.

Session-Initiation Protocol. A signaling protocol used for establishing sessions in an IP network. A session could be a simple, two-way telephone call, or it could be a collaborative multi-media conference session.
CSA. GUI-based tool used to configure, provision and monitor a Excel platform related to, for example, SIP, H.323, and VDAC Resouce Attributes.
See Converged Services Administrator.
Internet Protocol. Part of the TCP/IP family of protocols used to route messages and tracks the addresses of nodes.
Range of channels provided by T1 or E1 transmission service. A physical span is a group of channels taking up a single physical wire. A logical span is a group of channels taking up less than a single logical wire, or carried over more than one physical wire.
A computer, attached to the Excel platform through an RS-232 or Ethernet link, from which you run the telecommunications application that controls the Excel platform.
See Programmable Protocol Language.
Voice over Internet Protocol. The delivery of voice information in digital form in discrete packets rather than in the traditional circuit-committed protocols of the public-switched telephone network (PSTN).
Tag-Length-Value block. A standardized block that allows data to inserted in a standard way into API messages.
A device that translates calls between an IP network and another network, typically the PSTN.
The point in the Excel platform where a DS0 connects to a network. Also known as a "socket."
