Network Topology Test Environment ShoreTel Connect ONSITE Server ShoreTel Virtual Phone Switch ShoreTel Voice Switch ShoreTel IP Phones ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 128V IP Phones (UC Software Version 3.4.39.0) o NOTE: Only the CONVERGE Pro 2 128V was tested. The CONVERGE Pro 2 128V and 48V share the same Firmware and have equivalent VoIP functionality. The products SKUs differ only in external I/O connectivity options. NOTE: This Application Note assumes the setup, configuration and licensing of the Virtual/Physical Switches has already been completed. If you require additional information, please refer to the ShoreTel Connect Onsite Planning and Installation guide at the following location. ShoreTel Connect Onsite Planning and Installation Guide Page 4 of 27
Special Notes The following considerations must be taken when implementing ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 128V as SIP Extensions on the ShoreTel Connect ONSITE system. ShoreTel Extension License Extension Licenses are required for each ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 128V. ShoreTel SIP Phone License Deployment of SIP Extensions require a SIP Phone License. One SIP Phone License is required for each ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 128V SIP Extension. NOTE: For additional information on SIP Endpoints with a ShoreTel Connect ONSITE system, please refer to Chapter 19 of the ShoreTel Connect Onsite System Administration Guide. Page 5 of 27
ShoreTel Configuration This section describes the detailed steps required on the ShoreTel Connect ONSITE system to configure ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 128V as SIP extensions. Call Control Options The CONVERGE Pro 2 128V was tested using the call control settings shown below with no issues. This section describes the SIP settings required on the ShoreTel system to work with CONVERGE Pro 2 128V. This is accomplished from ShoreTel Connect Director. 1. Navigate to Administration Features Call Control Options 2. Verify the parameters located under the SIP section 3. Realm: The realm is used in authenticating all SIP devices. Changing this value will require a reboot of switches serving as SIP extensions. It is not necessary to modify this parameter 4. Enable SIP Session Timer: Ensure this parameter is checked 5. Session interval: Session interval value indicates the SIP session registration period. There is no need to modify the default value of 1800 seconds. 6. Refresher: The refresher setting decides if user agent client or user agent server refreshes the session. There is no need to modify the default value of Caller (UAC). 7. Click SAVE (All other parameters were left at their default values.) Page 6 of 27
SIP Proxy Settings Allocating Ports for SIP Extensions This section describes the Switch configuration required on the ShoreTel system to work with the CONVERGE Pro 2 128V device. Depending on the switch type, ShoreTel Voice Switches, and Virtual Phone Switches support variable numbers of SIP Proxies and IP Phones, and can be verified on the Switch Edit page of ShoreTel Connect Director. ShoreTel ShoreGear Switches with processing resources that support Digital and Analog ports can be reallocated to support 100 SIP Proxies. The ShoreTel Administrator can define one of the Port Type settings from the available ports to 100 SIP Proxy, as well as sufficient IP Phone ports to support the total number of Polycom VVX IP Phones. The following example shows Port allocation designated on a ShoreTel SG-90 for IP Phones and SIP Proxy resources If the ShoreTel ShoreGear Switch that you have selected has built-in capacity (i.e., ShoreGear 50/90/220T1/E1, etc.) for IP phones and SIP trunks, you can also remove 5 ports from the total number available to provide the 100 SIP Proxy configuration necessary. Every 5 ports you remove from the total available will result in 100 SIP Proxy ports being made available. The following example shows 5 ports removed from total available resulting in 100 SIP Proxy ports being available. Page 7 of 27
Site Settings In the Site Settings page confirm that the CONVERGE Pro 2 128V is configured to register to the Primary Switch 1 and not the Virtual IP Address. Page 8 of 27
SIP Profile This section describes the SIP settings required on the ShoreTel system to work with ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 128V. This is accomplished from ShoreTel Connect Director. The SIP Profile is created in the IP Phones SIP Profiles section and requires 2 custom parameters. 1. Navigate to Administration > Telephones > SIP Profiles 2. Click New to add a profile 3. Define a Name for the profile 4. In the User Agent text box type ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 128V.* (without quotes) 5. Priority will be default to 100 (No change is needed here) 6. Check the Enable checkbox 7. In the Custom Parameters text box a. AddGracePeriod=1800 b. DelayUnregister=15 8. Click Save to apply your changes. This will eliminate any possible race conditions that can lead to the CONVERGE Pro 2 128V not being properly registered to the ShoreTel Server causing calls to fail. Page 9 of 27
Configure a ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 128V IP Phone as a SIP Extension This section describes the steps required to configure a ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 128V IP Phone as SIP Extension on the ShoreTel system. This is accomplished from ShoreTel Connect Director. 1. Navigate to Administration Users Users 2. Click New, to create a new user 3. Define the First name: and Last name: Enter the appropriate user information 4. Define an Extension: ShoreTel Connect Director will automatically assign the next available extension number, but it can also be modified to any available extension number 5. Define the License type: and Access license: In our example, Extension and Mailbox was selected for this test and Connect Client for Access license NOTE: If the License type is configured as Extension-Only, then Any IP Phone cannot be selected, but instead must be set to SoftSwitch. Page 10 of 27
6. Define a SIP phone password: There is no default SIP phone password configured, it is masked with the appearance that there is a default password, and must be defined by the ShoreTel Director Administrator. Make certain to type the password in both fields. NOTE: Please note the SIP phone password configured for the user, as it will be used later for the Converge Pro2 128V under the VoIP Phones configuration. 7. Click SAVE Page 11 of 27
ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 128V IP Phones Configuration The following steps detail the configuration process using the ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 128V to register as SIP extensions onto a ShoreTel Connect Onsite system. NOTE: The ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 128V IP Phones were powered up using the Power cable, connected to a system with Serial port connection with an Ethernet cable, and connected to a machine. A DHCP server was used for the network parameters, and then manually provisioned the minimum configuration parameters required for validation with the ShoreTel Connect Onsite system. NOTE: Manually determining the IP address of the 128V is only required if the Auto Discovery is not working in the CONVERGE Console application. Steps 1-8 are only required if the CONVERGE Console Auto Discovery fails to discover the unit. To access the ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 device, connect the device to a machine with serial cable so that Device can acquire IP address from the DHCP server.the IP Address on the Device can be found through the PuTTY/ Tera Term command interface as shown below with setting the connections. a. Baud Rate: 57600 b. Data bits: 8 c. Parity: None d. Stop bit: 1 e. Flow control: None f. If you re using Tera-Term, you should also enable Local Echo in the terminal settings 2. Once you re connected via the serial port, you should see a => prompt 3. Connect the Ethernet cable the Ethernet port. The system is set to acquire an IP address via DHCP automatically. 4. To determine the unit s assigned IP address, from TeraTerm, enter the command: => BOX * UNIT IP The unit s assigned IP address will be returned 5. Once you ve determined the unit s IP addresses, you can connect to the box using Telnet (on port 23) instead of the serial connection 6. When prompted, the username is clearone and the password is converge. Page 12 of 27
7. The Device can be access via the CONVERGE Pro 2 Console as shown below 8. Click Manually Discover IP Address and enter the IP which we have from the Box as shown below Page 13 of 27
9. If your computer is on the same subnet as the CP2 unit it will be auto discovered and the manual discovering above steps will not be needed. It CP2 unit will be discovered as shown below. Page 14 of 27
Configure the Date and Time Parameters This section describes the steps required to configure the Date and Time parameters on the ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 128V. 1.
