Configuring Avaya Communication Manager, Cisco 2811
Gatekeeper and Cisco CallManager to Control VoIP Calls
between Avaya and Cisco Telephones - Issue 1.0
Abstract
These Application Notes describe a configuration, including, Avaya Communication Manager,
a Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper, and Cisco CallManager that was verified for a customer proof of
concept request. In this configuration, Avaya Communication Manager and Cisco
CallManager are registered with the Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper, which provides call control
between Avaya Communication Manager and Cisco CallManager.

1. Introduction
An H.323 gatekeeper can provide address translation and network access control services for
H.323 terminals and gateways. These Application Notes present the configuration steps to allow
Avaya Communication Manager to communicate with Cisco CallManager via a Cisco 2811
Gatekeeper. These Application Notes will cover the necessary configuration steps for Avaya
Communication Manager, a Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper and Cisco CallManager.
Figure 1 depicts the network configuration utilized for these Application Notes.
In Location A in Figure 1, the Avaya G350 Media Gateway with S8300 Server provides both
H.323 Gateway (GW) and Gatekeeper (GK) functionality. In Location B, the Cisco 2811 access
router is configured as an H.323 Gatekeeper, and the Cisco CallManager is registered with it.
The Cisco 2811 GK provides E.164 to IP address resolution and call control for bandwidth
between the Location A and Location B.
The are two zones defined on this Gatekeeper, a local zone for Location B and a remote zone
for Location A. The Gatekeeper stays in Local zone. The following shows the basic flow for a
call from Location A to Location B:
•Avaya Communication Manager sends a Location Request (LRQ) message to the Cisco
2811 Gatekeeper.
•The Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper checks its dial plan and bandwidth requirement
•If the call meets the bandwidth requirement:
oThe Cisco 2811 GK responds with location confirm (LCF) to Avaya
Communication Manager.
oAvaya Communication Manager will set up the call to the Cisco CallManager
through H.225 (Q.931) signaling.
•If the bandwidth requested exceeds the bandwidth requirement, the Cisco 2811
Gatekeeper sends call Location Rejection (LRJ) to Avaya Communication Manager to
deny the call.
Similarly, this call flow can be applied for call origination in Location B to Location A.

3. Avaya Communication Manager Configuration
3.1. Configuring Node Names on the Avaya Communication Manager
This section presents configuration steps for node name to IP address mapping on Avaya
Communication Manager. It is assumed that appropriate license and authentication files have
been installed on the S8300 Server. It is also assumed that the network IP address on the S8300
Server has been configured to 22.1.1.22/24 and the IP address on the G350 GW has been
configured to 22.1.1.23/24.
Avaya Communication Manager SAT screens can be accessed using “telnet 192.11.13.6 5023”
from a computer connected to the services port, or “telnet 22.1.1.22 5023” through the network.
Use the command change node-names ip to display the mapping of node names to IP addresses.
The node name Call-Manager is mapped to Cisco CallManager’s IP address 60.1.1.5 and the
node name Cisco-GK is mapped to the Cisco 2811 router’s IP address 60.1.1.10. The procr is
mapped to the Avaya S8300 Server’s IP Address 22.1.1.22.

3.2. Configuring IP Network Region
In this sample configuration, the IP network region 1 is configured for Location A and the IP
network region 2 is configured for Location B.
Use the command change ip-network-region 1 to specify the IP codec set to be used for
network region 1 and the IP codec set used between network region 1 and region 2. Page 1 of 19
shows that codec set 1is used for network region 1. The fields under DIFFSERV/TOS
PARAMETERS and 802.1P/Q PARAMETERS are used for QoS. The Avaya IP telephone
will receive these QoS parameters upon registration.

3.3. Configuring Signaling and Trunk Groups to Cisco 2811
Gatekeeper
In order to configure Avaya Communication Manager as an H.323 Gatekeeper to send LRQ to
the Cisco 2811 GK, a signaling group for outbound traffic must be configured. Note that the IP
address of the Avaya S8300 Server (procr) functions as an IP address for both H.323 GW and
GK.
Use the command add signaling-group <group number> to create a signaling group. The Near-
End Node Name and Far-end Node Name are configured to the procr and Cisco-GK
respectively. To configure the Avaya S8300 Server as a H.323 GK, LRQ required must be set to
y. Near-end Listen Port and Far-end Listen Port must be configured to 1719 (UDP port 1719 for
H.225 RAS). Direct IP-IP Audio Connections and IP Audio Hairpinning must be set to n for
successful media paths. Disabling Direct IP-IP and IP Audio hairpinning will establish the RTP
stream between the G350 Media Gateway and the Cisco IP Telephones for inter location calls.
To support out-of-band DTMF, DTMF over IP must be configured to out-of-band. To control
Codec Set selection, the Far-end Network Region is configured to 2. Note that this signaling
group is configured to be associated with the trunk group 20.

IP trunk member port values are initially configured to “ip” in the Port field. The system will
then assign a value to the port as shown below. Note the IP trunk members are virtual ports. In
the following screen, five members associated with signaling group 20 are configured. This
means that the IP trunk group only supports five simultaneous VoIP calls. The sixth call will be
blocked if there is no backup trunk available. If a PSTN trunk is configured as a backup trunk,
the additional calls can be overflowed to the PSTN, or all calls can use the PSTN if the VoIP
trunk is out of service.

When a call is placed from Avaya Communication Manager, the called number is routed (by
appropriate routing, e.g., UDP, AAR/ARS, etc.) to the Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper via trunk group
20. The Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper will send the call setup message to the appropriate gateway, for
these Application Notes, Cisco CallManager.

Separate signaling and trunk groups are required for Avaya Communication Manager to receive
calls. When Avaya Communication Manager receives a call setup message from a Cisco
CallManager via the Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper, Avaya Communication Manager will try to match
it to a signaling group based on the remote GW’s IP address. The call will be denied if there is
no match. To reduce the configuration required, the Far-end Node Name can be left unspecified,
or an inbound signaling group can be configured for each GW from which Avaya
Communication Manager should accept calls. The following screen shows the configuration for
inbound signaling group 21. Note that Near-end Listen Port must be 1720 to accept incoming
calls (TCP port 1720 for H.225 call setup messages). The LRQ Required is set to n. Like the
configuration for signaling group 20, Direct IP-IP Audio Connections and IP Audio Hairpinning
are set to n, DTMF over IP is configured to out-of-band, and the Far-end Network Region is set
to 2.

4. Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper and Cisco CallManager
Configuration
4.1. Configuring the Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper
The following are the annotated Cisco 2811 Gatekeeper configuration. A Gatekeeper will
forward the LRQ from Avaya CM and Cisco CallManager when the LRQ forwarding is enabled
on the GK. To enable a gatekeeper to forward LRQ messages, use the lrq forward-queries
command in gatekeeper configuration mode. Note that lrq forward-queries add-hop-count
must be configured on the Cisco 2811 GK, to allow the Cisco 2811 GK to forward the LRQ from
Avaya Communication Manager.
There is one local zone named GateKeeper and one remote zone named G350 configured on the
Cisco 2811 GK. Zone prefix “61*” (where * will match any sequence of numbers following 61)
is associated with the Cisco CallManager telephone extensions, and the Zone prefix “45*” is
associated with the extensions configured on Avaya Communication Manager.
For bandwidth control, the maximum bandwidth allowed between the local and remote zones is
configured as 256 kb. If the maximum bandwidth is fully utilized, the GK will reject any
additional call attempts.

4.2.2. Add New Region
Regions are used for codec selection. In these Application Notes, two regions are used. The
default region is used for Location B and a new region, named Avaya, is created for Location A.
To save bandwidth on WAN link, codec G.729 is used between these two regions. Intra-region
calls will use codec G.711 ulaw. The following steps show how to create a new region on Cisco
CallManager.
•Click System ÆRegion
•Click Add a New Region as shown below
•Enter avaya as Region Name
•Select G.729 as Default Codec with Other Regions. This will force the Cisco
CallManager to use codec G.729 for calls to other region.
