Avaya Solution & Interoperability Test Lab Configuring SIP trunks between Avaya Aura Session Manager Release 6.2, Avaya Meeting Exchange Enterprise Edition Release 6.2 and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 8.6(2) Issue 1.0 Abstract These Application Notes describe a sample configuration of a network that provides SIP trunks from Avaya Aura Session Manager Release 6.2 to Avaya Meeting Exchange, Enterprise Edition, Release 6.2 and from Avaya Aura Session Manager Release 6.2 to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 8.6(2). Avaya Aura Session Manager provides call routing and SIP endpoint registration. Avaya Meeting Exchange provides scheduled and on demand conferencing. Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides SIP trunks for connecting to other telephony systems and supports SCCP and SIP endpoints. These Application Notes provide information for the setup, configuration, and verification of the call flows tested for this solution. 1 of 37

1. Introduction These Application Notes present a sample configuration for a network that demonstrates Avaya Meeting Exchange, Enterprise Edition R6.2, interoperability with Cisco Unified Communications Manager using SIP trunks via Avaya Aura Session Manager R6.2. This document focuses on the configuration of the SIP trunks and call routing. Detailed administration of other aspects of Avaya Meeting Exchange or Cisco Unified Communications Manager will not be described. See the appropriate documentation listed in Section 10 for more information. 2. Interoperability Testing Testing was limited to basic and advanced conferencing features and verification of operator and other Meeting Exchange features. Interoperability was verified for SIP trunks between Avaya Aura Session Manager Release 6.2, Avaya Meeting Exchange, Enterprise Edition, Release 6.2 and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 8.6(2). 2.1. Test Description and Coverage Interoperability testing included dialing into SCAN, FLEX and DIRECT type conferences to test various conferencing features such as Moderator Blast (manual and auto), DTMF loss, Line Access and Transfer, Name Recall Playback, Conference Transfer and Operator Intercept. 2.2. Test Results and Observations Overall test results were good. During testing the following observations were made: 1. For G.729 to pass, a patch to 6.2.0.0.24 was installed. The number of licenses was decreased from 8,000 to 1,000. The processtable.cfg file was updated so a minimum of 8 softms processes would be created. 2. When transferring a line to another conference, it fails, then a message from Bridge Talk is displayed that requires a restart of the application. This issue is documented in wi00962064. 3. When verifying Operator Audio Path, Unknown Number was displayed on the SIP IP endpoints. 2 of 37

3. Test Configuration A SIP trunk is used to connect Avaya Aura Session Manager to Avaya Meeting Exchange, Enterprise Edition and to connect Avaya Aura Session Manager and Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM). Cisco 7965 and 7942 IP Telephones were configured as SIP endpoints and Cisco 7965, 7962 and 7961 IP Telephones were configured as SCCP endpoints. Cisco SIP and SCCP endpoints were registered to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. As shown in Figure 1, CUCM 8.6(2) supports Cisco 7900 Series SCCP and SIP IP telephones. CUCM is connected via a SIP trunk to Avaya Aura Session Manager and Avaya Meeting Exchange is connected to Avaya Aura Session Manager.

8.2. Verify Call Routing Verify end to end signaling/media connectivity between the Meeting Exchange and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. This is accomplished by placing calls from the Cisco endpoints to the Meeting Exchange. This step utilizes the Avaya Bridge Talk application to verify calls to and from the Meeting Exchange are managed correctly, e.g., callers are added/removed from conferences. This step will also verify the conferencing applications provisioned. Configure a conference with Auto Blast enabled and provision a dial list. From an endpoint on the Public Switched Telephone Network, dial a number that corresponds to DNIS 2900 to enter a conference as Moderator (with passcode) and blast dial is invoked automatically. When answered these callers enter the conference. If not already logged on, log in to the Avaya Bridge Talk application with the appropriate credentials Double-Click on the highlighted Conf # to open a Conference Room window Verify conference participants are added/removed from conferences by observing the Conference Navigator and/or Conference Room windows. 8.3. Verify Cisco Unified Communications Manager Operational Status Step 1: Verify the operational status of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager system. From the Cisco Unified CM Administration Home Page described in Section 7, select the Cisco Unified Serviceability application (not shown) to verify status of the Cisco system. Expand Tools (not shown) and select Control Center Feature Services. Under Select Server section, select the IP address of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager system and click Go to view status of the system. In the sample configuration, the IP address for the CUCM system is displayed as shown below. 33 of 37

Under CM Services section, verify the status of the Cisco CallManager and Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming App services as shown below. Verify the following fields: Status Verify Started is displayed. Activation Status Verify Activated is displayed. Step 2: Use the Real Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT) to monitor events on CUCM system. This tool can be downloaded by expanding Application Plugins from the Cisco Unified CM Administration web interface. For further information, see Reference [7] in Section 10. Start the tool. Expand Tools on left panel and select Trace & Log Central. Under Trace and Log Central section, select Real Time Trace to start a real time data capture as shown below. 34 of 37
