4.2. TLS Setup
The specific gateway software version used in this PBX Configuration Guide was not tested for TLS.
However, TLS was tested successfully for other gateway software versions operating with Microsoft
Exchange 2007 TLS capabilities.

Refer to the procedure below for TLS setup.

Step 1: PBX to IP Routing Setup

Note: The Proxy IP Address and Name must be one that corresponds to the network environment in
which the Microsoft Unified Messaging server is installed (For example, 10.15.3.207 for IP Address and
exchaneg2007.com for the FQDN of the Microsoft Unified Messaging host).

19
Step 2: SIP Environment and Gateway Name Setup

Note: Assign an FQDN name to the gateway (for example, gw2.fxoaudiocodes.com). Any gateway
name that corresponds to your network environment is applicable; the only limitation is not to include
underscores in the name (Windows Certification server limitation).

20
Step 3: SIP Environment Setup (Cont.)

21
Step 4: DNS Servers Setup

Note: Define the primary and secondary DNS servers' IP addresses so that they correspond to your
network environment (for example, 10.1.1.11 and 10.1.1.10). If no DNS server is available in the
network, then skip this step.

22
Step 5: Internal DNS Setup

Note: If no DNS server is available in the network, define the internal DNS table where the domain
name is the FQDN of the Microsoft Unified Messaging server and the First IP Address corresponds to
its IP address (for example, exchange2007.com and 10.15.3.207).

23
Step 6: NTP Server Setup

Note: Define the NTP server’s IP address so that it corresponds to your network environment (for
example, 10.15.3.50). If no NTP server is available in the network, then skip this step (as the gateway
uses it’s internal clock).

24
Step 7: Generate Certificate Setup
Use the screen below to generate CSR. Copy the certificate signing request and send it to your
Certification Authority for signing.

25
Step 8: Uploading Certificates Setup
The screen below is used to upload the sign certificates.
In the “Server Certificate” area, upload the gateway certificate signed by the CA.
In the “Trusted Root Certificate Store” area, upload the CA certificate.

====================
MWIOPEN = NO , ALEN = 8, BLEN = 6,
DTMFCTRL = YES , PICKUP = NO , NARELOUT = NO ,
PIN = NO ;

Note: The ALEN parameter defines the maximum number of digits of the calling party's telephone
number. If the calling party's number surpasses the ALEN value, the gateway doesn't send this
number for caller ID to the VM; instead, the gateway sends the digits 0 and [ALEN -1]. For example, If
ALEN equals 8 and the calling party's number is longer than 8 digits, the gateway sends 01111111.

The BLEN parameter defines the maximum number of digits of the called party's telephone number.
Ensure that the BLEN value includes the length of the PBX digit extension number (typically three to
four digits) plus two additional digits.

7. Troubleshooting
The tools used for debugging include network sniffer applications (such as Ethereal) and AudioCodes'
Syslog protocol.
The Syslog client, embedded in the AudioCodes gateways (MP-11x, Mediant 1000, and Mediant 2000),
sends error reports/events generated by the gateway application to a Syslog server, using IP/UDP
protocol.
To activate the Syslog client on the AudioCodes gateways:
1. Set the parameter Enable Syslog to 'Enable'.
2. Use the parameter Syslog Server IP Address to define the IP address of the Syslog server you
use.

Step 2

Step 1

Note: The Syslog Server IP address must be one that corresponds to your network environment in
which the Syslog server is installed (for example, 10.15.2.5).

39
3. To determine the Syslog logging level, use the parameter Debug Level and set this parameter to
'5'.
4. Change the CDR Report Level to 'End Call' to enable additional call information.

Step 4
Step 3

AudioCodes has also developed advanced diagnostic tools that may be used for high-level
troubleshooting. These tools include the following:
• Call Progress Tone wizard (CPTWizard): helps detect the Call Progress Tones generated by the
PBX. The software automatically creates a basic Call Progress Tones file.
• DSP Recording: DSP recording is a procedure used to monitor the DSP operation (e.g., rtp packets
and events).
