Creating or Modifying a SIP Server Profile

Resource Manager includes an embedded SIP Back-to-Back User Agent (B2BUA) component for managing SIP traffic to network devices (such as to MCUs) which are managed by Resource Manager.

To enable Resource Manager to operate with SIP endpoints, configure Resource Manager with an external SIP server to which SIP endpoints are registered.

Procedure

Step 1 Select Resource Management in the sidebar menu.

Step 2 Select Gatekeeper/SIP server.

Step 3 Select the link in the Name column for the SIP server you require, or select Add to create a new SIP server profile.

Step 4 Enter the name and IP address or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the SIP server in the relevant fields.

Step 5 Select the SIP server model.

You can select Microsoft LCS 2005/OCS 2007 or other third-party SIP servers. Resource Manager is interoperable with the following external SIP servers:

•Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 5.0 or later

•Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005 with Service Pack 1

•Broadsoft IPCentrix

Step 6 (Optional) If you select Other in the Model field, select SIP in the Protocol field.

Step 7 Select the device island to which the SIP server belongs from the Location list.

Each device island can have only one SIP server.

The Location field is visible only when the IP Topology tab is activated in the Resource Manager Configuration Tool under System Configuration > UI Settings.

Step 8 Enter the name of the SIP server in the SIP Domain field.

Step 9 (Optional) Enter the name of a preferred and an alternative DNS server in the relevant fields.

Step 10 Select OK to save your changes.

Removing a SIP Server Profile

Procedure

Step 1 Select Resource Management in the sidebar menu.

Step 2 Select Gatekeeper/SIP server.

Step 3 Select the SIP server entry you want to delete in the Name column.

Step 4 Select Delete and then OK.

The SIP server profile is deleted from the scheduler and information about the SIP server is removed from the database.

Searching for a SIP Server Profile

Procedure

Step 1 Select Resource Management in the sidebar menu.

Step 2 Select Gatekeeper/SIP server.

Step 3 Enter all or part of the name of the SIP server you want to find in the Name field.

Step 4 Select Search.

Search results are listed.

Step 5 To return to the complete list of SIP servers, clear the Name field, and then select Search.

Configuring the MCU to Work in SIP Mode

Perform the following configuration steps in the MCU web user interface.

Procedure

Step 1 Select Configuration.

Step 2 Select Protocols.

Step 3 Locate the SIP section.

Step 4 Select SIP to enable MCU communication with the SIP proxy.

Step 5 Enter the SIP domain of the MCU in the Default SIP domain field as defined in the SIP server.

An example of a SIP domain is company.com.

Step 6 Select Locate automatically to instruct the MCU to automatically locate one of the SIP proxy servers that are present in the domain,

or

Select Specify and enter the following:

•An IP address or host name of the SIP proxy, for example proxy.company.com.

•The communication port number of the SIP proxy address. The default port is 5060.

•The transport connection type for sending messages to the SIP proxy according to the type supported by the SIP proxy—UDP or TCP.

This field is mandatory. The default is UDP.

Note The Locate automatically option works only if you have configured a valid IP address at Configuration > Setup > Network > DNS server1 or DNS server2.

Step 7 Select Use registrar to instruct the MCU to register with a SIP registrar and to send service information to the registrar.

Step 8 Enter the following information:

•The IP address or the host name of the SIP registrar in the IP address field.

This field is mandatory.

•The communication port number of the SIP registrar address.

•The transport connection type for sending registration requests to the registrar according to the type supported by the SIP registrar—UDP or TCP.

This field is mandatory. The default is UDP.

Step 9 Select More.

Step 10 Enter the number of the signaling port on which the MCU communicates with the SIP proxy.

The default is 5060.

Step 11 Select Use proxy digest authentication to enable MCU authentication with a SIP proxy server using user name and password.

Authentication is performed as defined in RFC 2617. This field is disabled by default.

Step 12 Enter the MCU user name and password.

The user name and password must match the name and password defined on the SIP proxy server.

Step 13 Select Use registrar digest authentication to enable MCU authentication with a SIP registrar using user name and password.

Authentication is performed as defined in RFC 2617. This field is disabled by default.

Step 14 Select Use `Empty Invite' when sending Invite messages to endpoints to enable the remote endpoint to indicate preferred audio and video channels.

Step 15 Select Using Microsoft OCS to enable the MCU to work with Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS).

Step 16 Select Apply.

Disabling the SIP Back-to-Back User Agent

You can disable the B2BUA if Resource Manager is currently not operating with an external SIP server to which SIP endpoints are registered.

Procedure

Step 1 Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services on the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager server.

Step 2 Locate the service named "SIP Server" and stop it.

Step 3 Use a text editor to open the vcs-core.properties file located at JBOSS_HOME\bin on the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager server where JBOSS_HOME is the home directory of the JBOSS application server used in Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager.

By default, JBOSS_HOME is C:\Program Files\Cisco\Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager\CUVCMRM\jboss.

Step 4 Set the following line as shown:

vnex.vcms.core.sip.serverAddress=

Step 5 Save and close the vcs-core.properties file.

Step 6 Restart the SIP Server service for the change to take affect.
