Configuration Note 5. Gateway Configuration
Version 6.8 15 Mediant 1000B
5 Gateway Configuration
The procedures below describe the configuration of AudioCodes’ gateway required for
integration with both the PBX and the Avaya Aura Messaging System.
You can configure the gateway using one of the following methods:

Uploading an ini configuration file (*.ini file) – see Section 5.1

Configuring the gateway via the Web interface – see Section 5.2
5.1 Configuring the ini File
For initial setup and configuration, you can upload an ini file (*.ini) to the AudioCodes
gateway that includes the template ini file settings shown in Appendix A.
To upload an ini file:
1. Create a new text file (e.g., using Microsoft Notepad) with the file extension *.ini.
2. Copy the ini file settings from Appendix A and paste them into the text file.
3. Upload the file to the gateway.
Typically, for interoperability with the deployed PBX interfaces and Avaya Aura Messaging,
it is sufficient that you use this ini file template. However, due to specificity of site
deployment, you may need to modify or define certain parameters (such as IP addresses
and Trunk settings) after uploading the ini file.
5.2 Configuring AudioCodes Gateway
The procedures below provide step-by-step instructions for configuring the AudioCodes
gateway, using the Web interface. Ensure that you configure the gateway according to the
configuration settings displayed in the screenshots provided below.
The instructions describe how to setup Avaya Aura Messaging with the gateway
implementing SIP over TLS with and without SRTP.
Note the following Web interface guidelines:

When making configuration changes for each procedure, ensure that you click the
Submit button to save your changes; unless otherwise instructed.

Some of the changes may require a gateway reset for these changes to take effect.
Therefore, (and to save time), reset the gateway only after you complete all of the
gateway configurations.

These procedures are performed using the gateway's Web-based management tool
(i.e., embedded Web server). Before you begin configuring the gateway, ensure that
the Web interface's Navigation tree is in Advanced menu display mode (i.e., the
Advanced option on the Navigation bar is selected), as shown below:
Figure 5-1: Advanced Mode

5.3 Step 1: Configure IP Network Interfaces
This step describes how to configure the IP network interfaces.
To configure the IP network interfaces:
1. Open the IP Interfaces Table page (Configuration tab > VoIP > Network >
IP Interfaces Table).
2. Modify the existing network interface:
a. Select the 'Index' radio button of the OAMP + Media + Control table row, and
then click Edit.
b. Configure the interface as follows:
Parameter Value
IP Address 10.15.17.20 (IP address of the gateway)
Prefix Length 16 (subnet mask in bits for 255.255.0.0)
Default Gateway 10.15.0.1
Interface Name Voice (arbitrary descriptive name)
Primary DNS Server IP Address 10.1.1.10
Secondary DNS Server IP Address 10.1.1.11
Underlying Device vlan 1
Figure 5-2: Edit Record
3. Click Submit.

5.4 Step 2: Configure Trunk Settings
This step describes how to configure Trunk settings.
To set up Trunk settings:
1. Open the 'Trunk Settings' page (Configuration tab > VoIP > PSTN >
Trunk Settings).

3. Configure the relevant values to your setup for the following:
•Protocol Type
•Framing Method
•Transfer Mode
4. After you configure the parameters, click the Apply Trunk Settings button, and then
wait for the trunk settings to be applied. Once the trunk settings are applied, the trunk
status icons at the top of the page change to green for all trunks that are connected to
the PBX.
5. If there is more than one trunk connection between the PBX and gateway, repeat this
step for each of the trunks, or click the Apply to All Trunksbutton.

5.5 Step 3: Configure TDM BUS Settings
This step describes how to configure TDM Bus settings.
To configure TDM Bus settings:
1. Open the 'TDM Bus Settings' page (Configuration tab > VoIP > TDM >
TDM Bus Settings).
Figure 5-4: TDM Bus Settings
2. From the ‘PCM Law Select’ drop-down list, select ‘MuLaw’.

5.6 Step 4: Configure the SIP Environment
This step describes how to configure the SIP environment.
To configure the SIP environment:
1. Open the 'SIP General Parameters' page (Configuration tab > VoIP > SIP Definition
> General Parameters).
Figure 5-5: SIP General Settings for TLS
2. It is recommended that you configure the gateway and Avaya Aura Messaging to use
TLS. If you prefer to use TCP, then ensure that you configure the following gateway
settings (in the screen above) for TCP:
To configure the gateway and Avaya Aura Messaging to use TLS:
1. From the SIP Transport Type drop-down list, select TLS.
2. In the SIP TCP Local Port field, enter “5061”.
3. In the SIP Destination Port field, enter “5061”.
4. Click Submit.
To configure the gateway and Avaya Aura Messaging to use TCP:
1. From the SIP Transport Type drop-down list, select TCP.
2. In the SIP TCP Local Port field, enter “5060”.
3. In the SIP Destination Port field, enter “5060”.
4. Click Submit.
