Configuration Management 29

 

 

When the SIP Application Module is deployed from the management server, the service node name is defined in one of two places, depending on whether or not the SIP Application Module is configured in an N+M cluster.

Non-N+M node name configuration

In a non-N+M cluster configuration, the service node name is added to the "Server Properties" tab in the System Management Console. In a non-N+M configuration, the service node name can be the node name of the SIP Application Module platform. For more information on configuring the SIP Application Module service node name in a non-N+M configuration, please refer to the Configuration chapter in the MCP SIP Application Module Basics document.

Once the service node name information is configured in the “Server Properties” tab of the System Management Console, this information must then be datafilled on the CS 2000 (table MGCINV).

N+M node name configuration

In an N+M configuration, the service node name has to be assigned to the service instance so, unlike the non-N+M configuration, the service node name can not be the node name of the SIP Application Module platform. Each service instance is defined as a service parameter in each Network Service Description (NSD) in the “Transport Management” tab. Each NSD has to define a unique service name. This is done by adding a service name of "Service_Node_Name" in the label field and the desired node name in the Value part. For more information on configuring the SIP Application Module service node name in a N+M configuration, please refer to the Configuration chapter in the MCP SIP Application Module Basics document.

Once the service node name information is configured in the “Transport Management” tab of the System Management Console, this information must then be datafilled on the CS 2000 (table MGCINV).

CS 2000 node authorization

The SIP Application Module allows only authorized network nodes to send a SIP request to it with out requiring the request to be authenticated. The SIP PRI Gateway is an example of an authorized network node; the SIP Application Module does not challenge incoming call requests from the SIP PRI Gateway. The CS 2000 node must be added to list of authorized nodes so that it can send SIP-T messaging to the SIP Application Module. This is achieved by adding the IP address of the CS 2000 to the Authorized SIP Nodes field in the “Authentication” tab of the System Manage Console.
