6. Configure Avaya Aura® Session Manager - Overview

This section covers the configuration of Session Manager at Site A. Session Manager is configured via an Internet browser using the administration web interface. It is assumed that the setup screens of the administration web interface have been used for initial configurations. For additional information on these installation tasks, refer to [3].

Each SIP endpoint used in the compliance test that registered with Session Manager required that a user and endpoint profile be created and associated with Session Manager. This configuration is not directly related to the interoperability of the products being tested, so it is not included here. These procedures are covered in [3].

This section summarizes the configuration steps that are necessary for interoperating with Multi- Tech FaxFinder® IP Fax Server. The test environment was previously configured to enable Avaya Aura® Communication Manager and Session Manager at each site to communicate with each other. Details of this configuration are not described in this document, and additional information can be obtained in [3].

The documented configurations were repeated for the Session Manager at Site B using values appropriate for that site from Figure 1. This includes but is not limited to the IP addresses, SIP domain and user extensions.

The steps used were:

Create a SIP Entity for the FaxFinder Server

Create a SIP Entity Link for the FaxFinder Server

Create a Routing Policy

Create or modify Dial Patterns
