Application Notes for Integrated Research PROGNOSIS IP

Telephony Manager 9.6 with Avaya Aura® Communication

Manager - Issue 1.0

Abstract

These Application Notes describe the procedures for configuring Integrated Research

PROGNOSIS IP Telephony Manager 9.6 to interoperate with Avaya Aura® Communication

Manager 6.0.1.

PROGNOSIS IP Telephony Manager is a performance management solution for multi-vendor

IP telephony solutions. PROGNOSIS IP Telephony Manager provides visibility of Avaya and

other vendor’s IP Telephony solutions from a single console. Targeted at multi-site enterprises

and managed service providers of IP telephony solutions, PROGNOSIS IP Telephony

Manager offers a multi-customer, multi-PBX perspective, enabling a significant reduction in

complexity when managing complex IP telephony environments.

PROGNOSIS integrates directly to Communication Manager using Secure Shell (SSH). At the

same time, it processes Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) and Call Detail

Recording (CDR) information from Communication Manager.

Information in these Application Notes has been obtained through DevConnect compliance

testing and additional technical discussions. Testing was conducted via the DevConnect

Program at the Avaya Solution and Interoperability Test Lab.

1. Introduction

These Application Notes describe the compliance tested configuration used to validate Integrated

Research PROGNOSIS IP Telephony Manager with Avaya Aura® Communication Manager.

The PROGNOSIS IP Telephony Manager is based on the PROGNOSIS product-family

architecture for the scalable monitoring of business critical systems. The PROGNOSIS product

consists of:

One or more PROGNOSIS Monitoring Nodes (Server Nodes). These are servers used by

the PROGNOSIS product to collect, relay and store information collected from

Communication Manager.

The PROGNOSIS GUI is a Microsoft Windows client program which is used to connect

to a PROGNOSIS Monitoring Node and display the information collected by the

Monitoring Node. The PROGNOSIS GUI may either be installed on a Monitoring Node

or on a separate computer.

The PROGNOSIS IP Telephony Manager product uses three methods to monitor a

Communication Manager system.

System Access Terminal (SAT) - The PROGNOSIS IP Telephony Manager uses a pool

of SSH connections to the SAT using the IP address of the Avaya Server. By default, the

solution establishes three concurrent SAT connections to the Communication Manager

system and uses the connections to execute SAT commands.

Real Time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) Collection - The PROGNOSIS IP

Telephony Manager collects RTCP information sent by the Avaya IP Media Processor

(MEDPRO) boards, media gateways, IP Telephones and IP Softphones.

Call Detail Recording (CDR) Collection - The PROGNOSIS IP Telephony Manager

collects CDR information sent by Communication Manager.

2. General Test Approach and Test Results

The general test approach was to use PROGNOSIS GUI to display the configurations of the

Communication Manager systems and verify against what is displayed on the SAT interface. The

SAT interface is accessed by using either telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) to the Avaya S8800 and

S8300D Servers. Calls were placed between various Avaya endpoints and PROGNOSIS GUI

was used to display the RTCP and CDR information collected.

2.1. Interoperability Compliance Testing

For feature testing, PROGNOSIS GUI was used to view the configurations of Communication

Manager such as port networks, cabinets, media gateways, ESS, LSP, trunk groups, route

patterns, CLAN, MEDPRO and DS1 boards, IP network regions, stations, processor occupancy,

alarm and error information. During testing, a call generator was used to load the

Communication Manager systems by placing incoming calls through two E1 ISDN-PRI trunks to

the system in Site A and terminating the calls as IP stations on the system in Site B. For the

collection of RTCP and CDR information, the endpoints included Avaya IP, digital and analog

telephones, Avaya A175 Desktop Video Device and Avaya one-X® Communicator users. The

types of calls made included intra-switch calls, inbound/outbound inter-switch IP trunk calls,

transferred calls and conference calls.

For serviceability testing, reboots were applied to the PROGNOSIS IP Telephony Manager

Server and Avaya Servers to simulate system unavailability. Interchanging of the Avaya S8800

Servers and failover to ESS and LSP were also performed during testing.

2.2. Test Results

All test cases passed successfully.

3. Reference Configuration

Figure 1 illustrates the test configuration used to verify Integrated Research PROGNOSIS IP

Telephony Manager interoperability with Communication Manager. It consists of a

Communication Manager system running on a pair of Avaya S8800 Servers with two Avaya

G650 Media Gateways, an Avaya G430 Media Gateway with Avaya S8300D Server as a Local

Survivability Processor (LSP) and an Avaya G250-BRI Media Gateway. An Enterprise

Survivable Server (ESS) running on Avaya S8800 Server was also configured for failover

testing. A second Communication Manager system runs on an Avaya S8300D Server with an

Avaya G450 Media Gateway. Both systems have Avaya IP (H.323 and SIP), digital and analog

telephones, and Avaya one-X®Communicator users configured for making and receiving calls.

IP Trunks connect the two systems together to allow calls between them. Avaya Aura® System

Manager and Avaya Aura® Session Manager provided SIP support to the Avaya SIP telephones

and Avaya A175 Desktop Video Device. Integrated Research PROGNOSIS IP Telephony

Manager was installed on a server running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2.

Both the Monitoring Node and GUI software are installed on this server. The Avaya 4548GT-

PWR Ethernet Routing Switch provides Ethernet connectivity to the servers, media gateways

and IP telephones.

5. Configure Communication Manager

This section describes the steps needed to configure Communication Manager to interoperate

with Integrated Research PROGNOSIS IP Telephony Manager. This includes creating a login

account and a SAT User Profile for PROGNOSIS to access Communication Manager and

enabling RTCP and CDR reporting. The steps are repeated for each Communication Manager

system, ESS and LSP Servers.

5.1. Configure SAT User Profile

A SAT User Profile specifies which SAT screens may be accessed by the user assigned the

profile and the type of access to each screen. As PROGNOSIS IP Telephony Manager does not

modify any system configuration, create a SAT User Profile with limited permissions to assign

to the PROGNOSIS login account.

Step

Description

Enter the add user-profile ncommand, where nis the next unused profile number. Enter

a descriptive name for User Profile Name and enable all categories by setting the Enbl

field to y. In this configuration, the user profile 21 is created.
