Parameter: Early Media Relay and Ring Tone Generation: Connect full-duplex during early-media
  • Connect full-duplex during early-media: Forces full-duplex media on an outgoing call during early media (after call is alerted, before it's answered). This applies only to SIP calls (TDM calls are always connected full-duplex).

    • When enabled: RTP and RTCP will be both received and sent toward outgoing call

    • When disabled: RTP received from outgoing leg is bridged to the incoming leg, but no RTP or RTCP is sent toward the outgoing call

Parameter: Early Media Relay and Ring Tone Generation: Delay before connecting early media
  • Delay before connecting early media: Insert a delay, upon reception of alerting indication, before joining audio from outgoing call to incoming call. This option is useful in situations where audio from the outgoing network contains glitch at the very beginning of the early media state

Notes:

  • It is not common to start a ring tone before the call is alerted because it indicates that the remote phone is ringing, and that is only confirmed with an 'alerted' state.

  • A ring tone that is started before the call is alerted may be replaced by early media from the outgoing call if later alerted with early media

Parameter: Early Media Relay and Ring Tone Generation: Outgoing Calls Early Media Mode
  • Automatic early media detection:Rely on indications in outgoing call's signaling to determine if early media is present or not.

  • Always assume early media is present: Consider early media always present on outgoing calls using this profile, no matter what's indicated by the signaling.

  • Bell 103 Tone

  • V.22 USB1 or Bell_ANS

  • Fax calling tone

  • V.21 flags

  • V.8bis CRe tone

  • ANSam/

  • ANS/

  • ANSam

  • ANS

  • V.23 tones (1300, 390)

  • V.21 tones (1650,980)

Parameter: Fax Modem Pass-Through Parameters: Use NSE

Enable using Named Signaling Event (NSE) when switching to Passthrough relay mode.

Parameter: Fax Modem Relay: Detection Mode

Standard

  • Fax tones and T.38 re-invites will trigger fax relay mode. Modem tones and passthrough re-invites will trigger passthrough mode, though fax detection will still continue.

Use relay mode on any tone

  • Both fax and modem tones will immediately cause a switch to the chosen relay mode (without going to passthrough first for modem tones).

Always relay

  • Calls are directly invited using the specified relay mode, without waiting for any fax/modem tone. This improves performance when the calls are known to always be fax or modem (e.g. when connecting with a fax server).

Parameter: Fax Modem Relay: Enable early Fax/Modem tone detection

Enable early fax/modem detection. This makes a switch to T.38 or Passthrough happen faster when detected by longer tones (tones that can last a few seconds like ANSam).

Parameter: Fax Modem Relay: Enable Fax/Modem Relay

Enables Fax/Modem Relay

Parameter: Fax Modem Relay: Enable switching to FAX relay upon CNG tone

Parameter: Fax Modem Relay: Expected CNG tones

Minimum number of CNG tones to detect before switching to FAX mode. The CNG tones must be 2-4 seconds apart to be considered valid. Recommended value is 2, since switching upon first CNG may cause false positives

Parameter: Fax Modem Relay: Fax/Modem tones detection duration

Maximum time (in seconds) to listen to FAX tones (or 0 to never stop listening). After that delay, FAX tones are ignored. This avoids false FAX detection later in the call when a sound in an audio conversation is close to a FAX tone frequency.

Parameter: Fax Modem Relay: Modem vs. Fax distinction timeout

Delay before switching to Passthrough mode after detecting a tone that can be either a FAX or a Modem. The goal is to wait for FAX-specific tones (in which case switching to T.38 is better). This avoids double-switching (first passthrough, then shortly after T.38) in typical FAX scenarios.

Parameter: Fax Modem Relay: Relay Mode

T.38

  • For FAX: Use T.38 but fallback to passthrough if T.38 is refused. For Modem: Use passthrough.

Passthrough

  • Use passthrough to relay FAX or Modem.

Parameter: Fax Modem Relay: Switch to passthrough upon Bell ANS

Switch to modem relay mode (G711 passthrough) upon detection of Bell ANS tone (2225 Hz answer tone).

Parameter: SIP: Use SIP strict routing

Use SIP strict routing (according to RFC2543)

Parameter: SIP: User-to-User encoding

Encoding options for SIP User-to-User header

Use hexadecimal encoding format

Each byte of the UUI is printed as a 2-digits hexadecimal value. This allows encoding any value in the UUI, including non-printable characters.

   User-to-User:303030303030312e5468697320697320612074657374205555492076616c7565;encoding=hex;purpose=isdn-interwork;content=isdn-uui

Use text encoding format

UUI is stored "as-is" (without any modification) into the SIP header.

Note: If any illegal character is encounterd (non-printable, or illegal in a SIP header), the encoding will be forced to hexadecimal as shown above.

   User-to-User:0000001.This is a test UUI value with only printable characters legal in a SIP header;encoding=text;purpose=isdn-interwork;content=isdn-uui

Use text encoding format with the escape illegal characters option

UUI is stored in the SIP header without modification (like with the text encoding format).

However, UUI bytes that do not corresponds to a printable ASCII character, or that corrsponds to an ASCII character that can't be used within a SIP header will be escaped.

Escaping is made by using character % followed by a 2-digits Hexadecimal value.

   User-to-User:This is a test UUI value with non-printable data here %00%00%00%00%00%00%03.;encoding=text;purpose=isdn-interwork;content=isdn-uui

Parameter: Support Session Recording

The support header will contain siprec. Without this flag enabled, a '420 Bad Extension' is returned.

Parameter: Telephony Services: Incoming Mode

Determines the conditions triggering a CNAM query on an incoming call:

  • Never: No out of call method will be used to retrieve CNAM information.

  • Automatic: Do a CNAM TCAP query to obtain the caller's name from a SCP (CNAM server) only if the name value of the caller is not present.

  • Always: Always do a CNAM TCAP query to obtain the caller's name from a SCP (CNAM server) and overwrite the name value of the caller.

Parameter: T.38 Parameters: Fill Bit Removal

Removal of inserted fill bits in Phase C, non-ECM data.

Parameter: T.38 Parameters: Maximum Bit Rate

Set the maximum bit rate of the fax transmission, as follows:

  • 33600 bps when V.34 is enabled

  • 14400bps when V.34 is disabled

Parameter: T.38 Parameters: Prevent direct invite in T.38

Prevent T.38 to be used in the initial invite, instead inviting with voice codecs and subsequently re-inviting with T.38

Parameter: T.38 Parameters: Redundancy Count

Number of previously sent T.38 packets in each T.38 packet.

Parameter: T.38 Parameters: Transmission level (-1dBm unit)

Fax audio level toward TDM.

Parameter: T.38 Parameters: Use V.34

Enable the use of V.34 fax mode. v.17 can still be used during a call when V.34 is enabled.

Parameter: Unit

The Unit parameter defines the TMedia hardware adapter for which a new object is being created. An available hardware adapter is selected from a drop-down list.

Parameter: Untagged

Unselect 'Untagged' when the virtual port uses VLAN. Select 'Untagged' when the virtual port uses untagged.

Parameter: Use Cache

Use DNS name caching for improved performance.

Parameter: Use DHCP

The Use DHCP parameter is used to indicate that the DHCP autoconfiguration protocol is to be used on an IP port. This parameter is set by checking the box labeled Use DHCP.

Parameter: Use Enum

Enables ENUM name resolution support.

Parameter: Virtual port

Virtual port from which IP packets will exit.

Parameter: VLAN id

VLAN Identifier (VID)

Parameter: Voice Activity Detection: Enabled

Parameter: Voice Activity Detection: Noise floor level

The noise floor for codecs using voice activity (silence) detection, or comfort noise generation.

LNP Options: Incoming Calls LNP Mode

Terminate LNP

  • Routing is done using the real called party number (not the LRN). LNP fields are ignored for the outgoing leg. (Default)

Forward LNP from incoming to outgoing call

  • Routing is done using the LRN when available otherwise the called party number is used. LNP fields are kept for possible relay on outgoing leg.

Ignore LNP information

  • Routing is done using the called party number. LNP fields are ignored for the outgoing leg.

The following table contains the pseudo-code of the mapping according to the configuration AND the content of the incoming call signaling: CPN = called party number or the TO sip header called = called number variable accessible in routing script GAP = generic address number SS7 information element type 0xc0 ported_number = extra number type accessible in the routing script RN = rn field in SIP request URI bitM = SS7 Forward call indicator information element: ported number translation indicator (bit M) X = drop number

LNP Options: Outgoing Calls LNP Mode

No LNP insertion

  • No LNP field is inserted in the outgoing leg. (Default).

Relay LNP information

  • LNP fields are inserted in the outgoing leg only when they are received in the incoming leg.

Always insert LNP information

  • LNP fields are inserted in the outgoing leg regardless of their presence in the incoming leg.

The following table contains the pseudo-code of the mapping to the outgoing call according to the configuration AND what was present in the routing script variables: CPN = called party number or the TO sip header called = called number variable accessible in routing script GAP = generic address number SS7 information element type 0xc0 ported_number = extra number type accessible in the routing script RN = rn field in SIP request URI bitM = SS7 Forward call indicator information element: ported number translation indicator (bit M) X = drop number

SIP : Max Forwards header handling

Determine how to pass the hop counter (or SIP max-forwards) from the incoming leg to this outgoing SIP leg (as max-forwards header on this SIP outgoing leg)

  • Don't forward: Don't forward the incoming leg's hop counter (max forwards) to this outgoing leg

  • Forward: Forward the incoming leg's hop counter (max forwards) to the outgoing this (without decrementing)

  • Decrement and forward: Decrement and forward the incoming leg\'s hop counter (max fowards) to this outgoing leg. Drop the call if value reached 1.

SIP : Forward SIP Hold type

SS7 message to forward on the joined leg when a SIP call on this NAP receives a SIP re-invite indicating call hold/resume (direction 'inactive' or 'sendrecv', or connection address '0.0.0.0')

  • Don't forward: Don't forward to the SS7 network

  • SS7 Suspend/Resume: Suspend/Resume ISUP messages on the SS7 network

  • SS7 Remote Hold/Retrieval: Call progress (CPG) with generic notification indicator indicating remote hold/retrieval (Q.763 section 3.25)
