1. Introduction
The purpose of this interoperability Application Note is to validate Siemens HiPath 4000 V5
with Avaya Aura® Communication Manager R6.2, Avaya Aura® Session Manager R6.3 and
Avaya Aura ® conferencing 7.0 which are connected via SIP trunking. The purpose of this
interoperability note is to validate basic telephone calls and features from the Avaya and Siemens
systems with Avaya Aura® Conferencing 7.0.

Avaya Aura Conferencing 7.0 is an Enterprise conferencing and collaboration product providing
planned and on-demand integrated Audio, Web, and Video conferencing and control from a
single point for a seamless Unified Communication experience. Avaya Aura® Conferencing
provides reliable call preservation and redundancy as well as outstanding bandwidth
management and utilization with distributed architecture and dynamic adaptation through media
cascading. A lower total cost of ownership is driven by a unified infrastructure, simplifying
management and lower acquisition, upgrade, and bandwidth costs.

The distributed architecture allows cascading Media Servers to be positioned to optimize WAN
bandwidth and provide high availability redundancy. Avaya Aura® Conferencing supports on-
demand conferencing through MeetMe and Event, and Adhoc conferences with advanced
conference controls.

The Avaya Aura® Conferencing solution has strong integration with the Avaya Aura® core and
includes broad support for Avaya endpoints. Avaya Aura® Conferencing video conferencing
supports high definition resolutions up to 720p through a software video routing technology
based on the H.264 SVC standard.

The Siemens HiPath 4000 V5 consisted of HiPath 4000 Communication Server which is
effectively the processor for the system. Attached via LTU (Line Trunk Units) links are two
AP3700 cabinets, containing the HG3500 boards which provide both SIP and IP connectivity
dependant on the programming configuration. The AP3700 additionally contained a TDM board
and Analog board for non IP/SIP based telephony.

2. Interoperability Testing
The general test approach was to simulate an Avaya enterprise environment consisting of
Communication Manager R6.2, Conferencing 7.0 co-resident Simplex and Siemens HiPath 4000
V5. The separate devices were connected via SIP trunking provided by Session Manager R6.3
and managed using System ManagerR6.3. Calls were made from endpoints on the respective
systems into the Conferencing 7.0 and conferencing features were tested from both Avaya and
Siemens endpoints.

2.1. Test Description and Coverage


Siemens endpoints were tested using SIP and Non SIP (IP and Digital) devices. Testing only
covered Audio as none of the Siemens devices have video capability.
Testing focused on the following:
MeetMe Conferencing using Avaya and Siemens endpoints
G711U/G711A and G729 Codec with IP Shuffle
Moderator / Participant Features
o Dialout
o Silence / Unsilence
o Lecture Mode
o Mute/Unmute
o Other Conference features where applicable
Calls on Hold
Unattended / attended transfer
Longevity Test
Network Outage and Recovery

2.2. Test Results and Observations


Testing was generally successful, with 83% of tests passing. The remaining test failures detailed
in Section 2.2.1 and Section 2.2.2.

2.2.1. Dial Out functionality


Issues were observed when an Avaya SIP device was performing a dial out to another Avaya SIP
destination. This issue did not occur when the dial out to destination was either an Avaya H323
device or an extension on the Siemens PBX (TDM, IP or SIP). This fault is currently under
investigation and has been logged in JIRA Ref AAC-414. In essence, the SIP commands relating
to the call are being received back to the Conference but are not being acted on when received.

Scenario
Avaya SIP 9621 dials Conference Meet me or Adhoc number and enters Moderator PIN.
Avaya is now Moderator in Conference.
Avaya SIP 9621 enters *1 and is prompted to enter an extension number, followed by #.
The call is set up and the destination phone rings
On answer at the destination phone the message “you have been invited to join the
conference, please press 1” should be heard but is not being heard.
This failure only occurs when the call is being made between two Avaya SIP devices.
BD; Reviewed: Solution & Interoperability Test Lab Application Notes 6 of 117
SPOC 6/24/2013 ©2013 Avaya Inc. All Rights Reserved. AAC7_H4K_SM63
The issue is NOT seen in the following circumstances:-

Avaya SIP (Moderator) dial out to Avaya H323 – H323 hears message and can press 1 to
join conference
Avaya H323 (Moderator) dial out to Avaya SIP – SIP hears message and can press 1 to
join conference
Avaya SIP (Moderator) dial out to Siemens across SIP trunk via SM to either Siemens
SIP or Siemens non SIP phone – both can join the conference
Siemens ( as Moderator / SIP or non SIP) dial out to other Siemens/Avaya H.323 or
Avaya SIP is also successful

2.2.2. Unattended Transfer / Cross PBX Unattended Transfer / Attended


Transfer by Flare Devices
Neither the ADVD A175 nor Flare for Windows can perform an Unattended Transfer. This is a
known feature but is working as designed.
The ADVD can perform an Attended transfer.
The Avaya Flare for Windows can only perform an “attended transfer” using Adhoc
Conference. The general method is to bring the second party into the spotlight; call the
second party and allow them to join the call, which then becomes a three party
conference. The Flare for Windows device may disconnect from the conference, leaving
the remaining two parties connected for audio by selecting Moderator Controls then
Continuation. The Flare then closes the Moderator Control window and selects the
disconnect call button. The Flare should NOT select the End Conference icon in the
Moderator Controls window.

2.3. Known Issues and Limitations


2.4. Interconnectivity between Conferencing and Siemens HiPath
4000
Whilst observing the conference initially it was seen that the Siemens endpoints were
disconnecting after 5 minutes. A review of WireShark / traceSM showed the following:

A SIP INFO was sent from Conferencing via Session Manager to the Siemens HiPath
which did not respond to the request.
The SIP INFO would then be repeatedly sent by the Session Manager to the Siemens
HiPath before Session Manager finally sent a Request Timeout back to the Conferencing
Server. At this point the Siemens handset would disconnect.
Conferencing then sent a second SIP INFO via Session Manager to the Siemens HiPath
which again did not respond to the request.
Another Request Timeout was then sent back to the Conferencing Server.
A third set of SIP INFO was sent by Conferencing to the Siemens HiPath and Siemens
responded this time to the SIP INFO with 481 Call leg/Transaction Does Not Exist. This
was sent to the Conference Server which responded with a BYE to the Siemens Endpoint.

SPOC 6/24/2013 ©2013 Avaya Inc. All Rights Reserved. AAC7_H4K_SM63
On receipt of this BYE at the Siemens HiPath, the PBX responded with another 481 Call
leg/Transaction Does Not Exist.

There is virtually no additional SIP configuration available in the Siemens HiPath 4000, other
than to configure the protocol and ports. In order to overcome this issue a recommendation was
made to change the following setting on Conferencing via Element Manager: Feature Server
Elements Application Servers AS1 Configuration Parameters. Select Parm Group
“Long Call” and edit the field Duration and set zero to disable this field. This is also detailed in
Section 8.7 when configuring the Avaya Aura Conferencing 7.0.

3. Reference Configuration
The test configuration consisted of Communication Manager, System Manager, Session
Manager, Conferencing 7.0 and Siemens HiPath 4000 V5. A variety of handsets configured as IP
and SIP devices were used.

6.3. Administer Locations
Session Manager uses the origination location to determine which dial patterns to look at when
routing the call if there are any dial patterns administered for specific locations. Locations are
also used to limit the number of calls coming out of or going into physical locations. This is
useful for those locations where the network bandwidth is limited. For this sample configuration,
one Location has been created which will reference both the Session Manager location and the
Siemens location. Navigate to Home  Elements  Routing  Locations. To create a new
Location, click New.

For the remaining steps in configuring the Siemens HiPath 4000, the majority of information will
be displayed using ComWin with references to the corresponding HiPath Assistant screen or
other web GUI’s for more user friendly screens.

7.1. Configuring HiPath Assistant


Before using Siemens HiPath Assistant, the client PC must be prepared. To access the web
interface for HiPath Assistant use Internet Explorer:
http://<IPAddressHiPathCommunicationServer> i.e. http://192.168.81.2. Once the screen has
opened, select Client Preparation.

The next few screens will lead the end user through the process of checking the current version
of browser, installing a suitable version of Java and relevant certificates and installing the Applet
Cache Manger. A number of restarts of the browser may be required during the process. As a
recommendation where possible, install the HiPath Assistant on a separate, older PC as the
product is quite strict about the level of Java and Internet Explorer that should be used.

The next screen will display the process to be followed to configure the PC for HiPath Assistant.
Click the Next button to continue. (Button not shown).

Verify the Client PC is running a supported internet browser. If an unsupported version is
running, please ensure a suitable version is installed, before progressing any further. Otherwise
click on Next.

Verify the Client PC has a suitable version of Java Runtime Environment Plug-In. In the image
below a warning is displayed. Listed at the bottom of the screen are Java versions which are
suitable for use with Siemens HiPath. Select ones suitable and install if required. A browser
restart will be necessary.

7.6.1. Configuration of H.323 and SIP Endpoints via Web Interface


H.323 endpoints may be configured via Hi Path Assistant, Com Win or via the handsets own
web interface. SIP endpoints have limited programming functionality from HiPath Assistant or
ComWin, but can be programmed from DLS or via the phone web interface. Both H.323 and IP
can also be programmed from the handset interface itself as well.

To access the Web GUI for H.323 handsets browse to http://<ip_address_of_phone>:8085


To access the Web GUI for SIP handset browse to https://<ip_address_of_phone>

You will be prompted for a password to enter user or admin menus – this is usually 123456.
Handsets may be factory reset from the web interface.

To access the menus on the handsets directly:

OpenStage – press the Menu key (indicated with 3 lines). Select Admin and enter the password.
Press OK. The screen offers a “tree” structure to its menu system. Common areas are Network
for administering network IP addresses / DHCP and System to control SIP server related settings
and extension number.

OptiPoint (configured as SIP) – leave the handset at rest and press  key until screen displays
05-SETUP?. Press . Press 6 (a hidden admin config menu) and enter the password 123456 and
then . Use the arrows keys to scroll between menus. Common menus are 01-Network and 02-
System.

OptiPoint (configured as H.323) – leave the handset at rest and press 1,0,3 keys at the same
time. If successful, the screen will display Administration/01=Configuration. Press to enter
and enter the password 123456. Common menus are 01-Network and 02-System.

7.7. Enable Direct Media Connection and BCHANL on Siemens


Endpoints
It may be necessary when configuring Siemens endpoints to configure Direct Media Connect and
BCHANL to ensure the handsets function correctly. The easiest way to do this is via the
ComWin console. Use the following command:
CHANGE-SDAT:STNO=810012,TYPE=ATTRIBUT,AATTR=DMCALLWD&MBCHL;
Use the command DISPLAY-SDAT:STNO=810012; to show the details of the station.

8. Configure Avaya Aura® Conferencing 7.0
This section provides a sample configuration for Conferencing 7.0 Co-resident Simplex. It is
assumed that the basic installation and configuration has already taken place using the Intelligent
Workbook provided for Conferencing 7.0. For further information on Conferencing 7.0 please
consult the references in Section 12. The procedures below include the following areas:
Add Meet Me and Adhoc URIs to Provision Client
Add a Location
Assign Media Server Clusters to Locations
Add System Manager Domains to Provisioning Client
Configuring a Web Conferencing Server
Configuring a Web Conferencing Host
Additional Configuration of Conferencing for Siemens HiPath 4000 Interconnectivity

Configuration of Conferencing is performed via System Manager after Single Sign On has been
enabled for the Conferencing server. For further information on Conferencing 7.0 please consult
the references in Section 12.

8.1. Add Meet Me and Adhoc URIs to Provision Client


Service URI is the dialing access number for participants to join an Avaya Aura ® Conferencing
MeetMe Conference. The Service URI number matches the routing dial pattern that was
previously configured on the Dial Pattern Details page (see Section 6.9). The Service URI is the
username part of the SIP URI string.

Access the System Manager using a web browser and from the Home screen select Elements 
Conferencing.

prompts that are used if the SIP client does not provide a locale. From the Conference Type
field select MeetMe. Click Save to commit the changes.

Repeat the same process to create a Service URI for an Adhoc Conference. This number must
also be a match for digit pattern created in Section 6.9.

9. Administer Avaya Extensions for Conferencing.
The Avaya extensions must be administered with a Conferencing Profile to provide the
individual user with Moderator and Participant pin numbers that may be used by others joining
the relevant conference. This document assumes that user extension has already been created and
will concentrate on configuring the Conferencing Profile. The example endpoint used is a SIP
phone, but details are given later on regarding H.323 endpoint configuration for Conferencing
Profile.

9.1. Configure SIP phone with Conference Profile


On the System Manager screen select Users, and then select User Management Manage
Users. Select the extension to be modified and click Edit (not shown).
On the Communication Profile tab enter scroll down the screen until Conferencing Profile is
shown. Click the tick field next to Conferencing Profile -this will automatically expand the
section.
In the Location select the relevant location. To chose a template first click on the Get
Templates button. Then from the Template field, choose a relevant template i.e.
desktop_user_no_video. Click Commit (not shown).

The addition of the profile to the extension should automatically create a user in the Provisioning
Client. Log onto the Provisioning Client. In the Provisioning Client window, select User
Management  Search Users.

In the search window that appears, search for the extension that the profile has been assigned to.
Click on the Search button. Once the extension has been found, click on the hyperlink for the
extension.

9.2. Configure H.323 phone with Conference Profile
The process for configuring an Avaya H.323 endpoint with a Conferencing Profile is very
similar as for a SIP endpoint. The record for the H.323 device must be added to the System
Manager, in the same way as for a SIP device, however the endpoint must have an E.164 entry
(rather than a SIP entry) as a Communication Address on the Communication Profile screen:

10. Verification Steps

10.1. Verification of Siemens HiPath 4000 V5


The HiPath 4000 Communications Server is the central controlling unit in the Siemens PBX set-
up. Connection the HG3500 gateway chassis is via ISDN link. Check the ISDN link light on the
front panel of the HG3500 chassis to verify that it displays “green” link light. Connection to the
HG3500 IP gateways is via LAN. Verify that the link light on the front of the cards for the LAN1
connection is a “bright green”. (Screen shot below shows lights on for LAN1, but lights off for
LAN2 as it is not in use.) Using a PC on the same network, verify ping tests to the SIP Trunk
GW, the H.323 GW and the SIP Registrar GW. Each of the Siemens gateway’s can be accessed
via web browser. Use the Front Panel tab to view link status and line status. The image below
shows the Front Panel status for the SIP Trunk gateway. LAN link status is displayed on the
bottom left. Channel status is listed on the right, in this example a single call from Siemens to
Avaya is active, indicated by the green indicator.

10.2. Verification of Avaya Endpoints
To confirm functionality of Avaya endpoints with the Siemens HiPath 4000, a number of tools
are available for testing and confirmation of status.
Handset Registration can be confirmed via System Manager. Go to the Home screen and
select Elements  Session Manager  System Status  User Registrations

Successful SIP Entity connectivity can be viewed via the Session Manager Dashboard.
The field Entity Monitoring indicates how many links are down / total number of links. If
the field is red and/or there is indication of a link being down, troubleshoot to determine
the cause.
