Application Notes for Configuring Sagemcom XMediusFAX

Service Provider Edition with Avaya Aura® Session

Manager and Avaya Aura® Communication Manager

- Issue 1.0

Abstract

These Application Notes describe the procedures for configuring Sagemcom XMediusFAX

Service Provider (SP) Edition with Avaya Aura® Session Manager and Avaya Aura®

Communication Manager.

XMediusFAX is a software based fax server that sends and receives fax calls over an IP

network. In the configuration tested, XMediusFAX interoperates with Avaya Aura® Session

Manager and Avaya Aura® Communication Manager to send/receive faxes using SIP trunks

and the T.38 fax protocol between XMediusFAX and the Avaya SIP infrastructure.

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 procedures for configuring Sagemcom XMediusFAX

Service Provider (SP) Edition with Avaya Aura® Session Manager and Avaya Aura®

Communication Manager using SIP trunks.

XMediusFAX is a software based fax server that sends and receives fax calls over an IP network.

In the configuration tested, XMediusFAX interoperates with the Session Manager and

Communication Manager to send/receive faxes using SIP trunks and the T.38 protocol between

XMediusFAX and the Avaya SIP infrastructure. The compliance testing focused on fax calls to

and from the XMediusFAX fax server using various page lengths, resolutions, and fax data

speeds.

2. General Test Approach and Test Results

This section describes the general test approach used to verify the interoperability of Sagemcom

XMediusFAX SP Edition with the Avaya SIP infrastructure (Session Manager and

Communication Manager). This section also covers the test results.

2.1. Interoperability Compliance Testing

The general test approach was to make intra-site and inter-site fax calls to and from the

XMediusFAX fax server. The compliance tested configuration contained two sites. Site 2 served

as the main enterprise site and Site 1 served as a simulated PSTN or a remote enterprise site.

Inter-site calls and simulated PSTN calls were made using SIP trunks and ISDN-PRI trunks

between the sites. By using two Communication Managers and two port networks at Site 1, fax

calls across multiple TDM/IP hops were able to be tested. Faxes were sent with various page

lengths, resolutions, and at various fax data speeds. For capacity testing, 100 2-page faxes were

continuously sent between the two XMediusFAX fax servers. Serviceability testing included

verifying proper operation/recovery from network outages, unavailable resources, and

Communication Manager and XMediusFAX restarts. Fax calls were also tested with different

Avaya Media Gateway media resources to process the fax data. This included the TN2302

MedPro circuit pack, the TN2602 MedPro circuit pack in the Avaya G650 Media Gateway; and

the integrated VoIP engine of the Avaya G450 Media Gateway.

2.2. Test Results

XMediusFAX successfully passed compliance testing.

3. Reference Configuration

Figure 1 illustrates the reference configuration used during testing. In the reference

configuration, the two sites are connected via a direct SIP trunk and an ISDN-PRI trunk. Faxes

were sent between the two sites using either of these two trunks, as dictated by each individual

test case.

Figure 1: XMediusFAX with Session Manager and Communication Manager

At Site 1 consists of the following equipment:

An Avaya S8800 Server running Avaya Aura® Communication Manager with two

Avaya G650 Media Gateways. Each media gateway is configured as a separate port

network in separate IP network regions. The media resources required are provided by

the IP Media Processor (MedPro) circuit packs. Two versions of the IP MedPro circuit

pack were tested in the configuration: the TN2302AP and the TN2602AP.

An Avaya S8800 Server running Avaya Aura® System Manager. System Manager

provides management functions for Session Manager.

An Avaya S8800 Server running Avaya Aura® Session Manager.

XMediusFAX running on a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise Server (SP1).

An analog fax machine.

Various Avaya IP endpoints (not all shown).

At Site 2 consists of the following equipment:

An Avaya S8300D Server running Avaya Aura® Communication Manager in an Avaya

G450 Media Gateway. The signaling and media resources needed to support SIP trunks

are integrated directly on the media gateway processor.

Manager provides management functions for Session Manager.

An HP ProLiant DL360 G7 Server running Avaya Aura® Session Manager.

XMediusFAX running on a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise Server (SP1).

An analog fax machine

Various Avaya IP endpoints (not all shown).

Although the IP endpoints (H.323 and SIP telephones) are not involved in the faxing operations,

they are present at both sites to verify that VoIP telephone calls are not affected by the FoIP

faxing operations and vice versa.

Outbound fax calls originating from the XMediusFAX fax server are sent to Session Manager

first, and then from Session Manager to Communication Manager via SIP trunks. Based on the

dialed digits, Communication Manager will either direct the calls to the local fax machine, or to

the other site via an ISDN-PRI or SIP trunk. Inbound fax calls terminating to the XMediusFAX

fax server are sent from the local fax machine or from the remote site are received by

Communication Manager. The calls are then directed to Session Manager for onward routing to

the XMediusFAX fax server via SIP trunks.

5. Configure Communication Manager

This section describes the Communication Manager configuration at Site 2 to support the

network shown in Figure 1. Although not shown is this document, a similar Communication

Manager configuration would be required at Site 1.

The configuration of Communication Manager was performed using the System Access

Terminal (SAT). After the completion of the configuration, perform a save translation

command to make the changes permanent.

License

Use the display system-parameters customer-options command to verify that the

Communication Manager license has proper permissions for features illustrated in

these Application Notes. Navigate to Page 2, and verify that there is sufficient

remaining capacity for SIP trunks by comparing the Maximum Administered SIP

Trunks field value with the corresponding value in the USED column.

The license file installed on the system controls the maximum permitted. If there is

insufficient capacity, contact an authorized Avaya sales representative to make the

appropriate changes.

Codecs

IP codec set 1 was used during compliance testing. Multiple codecs can be listed in

priority order to allow the codec used by a specific call to be negotiated during call

establishment. The example below shows the values used during compliance testing.

On Page 2, set the FAX Mode field to t.38-standard. The Modem Mode field should

be set to off.

Leave the FAX Redundancy setting at its default value of 0.A packet redundancy

level can be assigned to improve packet delivery and robustness of FAX transport over

the network (with increased bandwidth as trade-off). Avaya uses IETF RFC-2198 and

ITU-T T.38 specifications as redundancy standard. With this standard, each Fax over

IP packet is sent with additional (redundant) 0 to 3 previous fax packets based on the

redundancy setting. A setting of 0 (no redundancy) is suited for networks where packet

loss is not a problem.

using the parameters highlighted below.

Near-end Node Name: procr This node name maps to the IP address of the Avaya

S8300D Server. Node names are defined using the change node-names ip

command.

Far-end Node Name: SM_21_31 This node name maps to the IP address of

Session Manager.

Far-end Network Region: 1 This defines the IP network region which contains

Session Manager.

Far-end Domain: avaya.com This domain is sent in the “To” header of SIP

messages of calls using this signaling group.

Direct IP-IP Audio Connections: y This field must be set to yto enable media
