Mapping Gateway is another important option need to maintain correctly. This post is usually describe General settings under mapping gateway option in VOS3000 softswitch.

Double-click on the “Navigation” and go to “Service management” go to “Gateway management” and go to “mapping gateways”. Spreadsheet item will appear on the right side screen.

Spreadsheet items:

Gateway ID: The unique ID of the device, used for the authentication of dynamic gateways. For static gateways (usually relay gateways), the only requirement is that their IDs do not conflict with one another.

Restriction type:
No restriction: No restrictions to the terminal
Call-out barring: The terminal is not allowed to call out
Call-in barring: The terminal is not allowed to be called
Barring all calls: The terminal is denied from any service

Authorization type:

When a call is initiated by this number, this type will be compared with the “Rate Type” of the rate. If the “Rate type” of the matching rate has higher precedence than the type specified here, the call will be denied. (The precedence of authorization is: International call – National call – Local call – net call.

Number of channels: The number of concurrent calls allowed by the gateway
Priority number: In the static mapping mode, if tunnels with the same IP address exist, gateways will be selected according to their priority numbers.

Softswitch: Specify the MBX used by this routing gateway.

Supplement settings.

General / Normal

Gateway type:

Dynamic: Registration is required.

Static: Gateway mapping is achieved directly through IP addresses.

IP addresses: IP addresses of mapping gateways. Multiple addresses can be specified, separated by commas.

Proceeding timeout: The maximum time waited after the call has reached the gateway. If the connection has not been establish within the time limit, the system server will send a reject signal to the mapping gateway. Set “0”to indicate that there is no proceeding timeout.

Encryption key: The encryption key for the encryption of connections between VOS platforms. In this case, an encryption port must be used for signaling, which, by default, is 3720 for H323 and 5070 for SIP.

Media proxy:

Auto: Let the system decide whether enable media proxy (Recommended)
On: Always enable media proxy
Off: Always disable media proxy

Billing according to binding numbers: Billing according to the account that the caller belongs to, instead of the setting of the gateway itself.

Legal lengths of the caller number: The lengths of the caller numbers allowed to pass through the gateway (e.g. fill in “11, 14” to allow numbers of 11 digits or 14 digits only).
Note: Left blank to allow numbers of all length to pass through, and fill in“0” to allow no numbers to pass through.

Legal length of the called number: The lengths of the called number allowed to pass through the gateway.

Thanks a lot.

This post is about Routing Settings and Advanced setting settings of under Routing Gateway of VOS3000 Softswitch. Click to read other related posts at the below of this post.

Routing Settings (national services):

Automatically adding area codes for mobile phones: It needs the support from the “Area of mobile phones” function, and is disabled by default. When enabled, area codes will be added to all mobile phone numbers passing through this gateway. Users can also enable this function for mobile phone numbers from certain areas and disable it for those from the rest of the areas.

Mobile phone area restriction: Specify the criteria for the caller to call a certain number (e.g. allowing “025:021” means numbers starting with “025” can only call numbers starting with “021”, and disallowing “*:*” means the caller number and the called not should not be the same, i.e. the caller cannot call itself).

Local call restriction: Specify whether numbers in a certain area can call the numbers in the same area (e.g. allowing “025” means that only numbers in the “025” area are allowed to make locals calls, i.e. to call other numbers in the “025”, while numbers in other areas are not allowed to do so).

The caller number restriction: Restricts the range of the caller numbers. Details are the same as the “The called number restriction” described below.

The called number restriction: It needs the support from “Areas of mobile phones” and “City codes” functions. When enable, only numbers that have passed standard validations can pass through this routing gateway, so that invalid numbers will be effectively prevented from occupying the relays.

Advanced settings in Routing Gateway:

H323:

Error message replacement: Specify the error message sent to the mapping gateway when the call cannot be established.

Q931 Progress Indicator: See the standard reference for H323.

SIP:

Response address: See the descriptions in “routing gateways”.

Request address: See the descriptions in “routing gateways”.

G729 negotiation: See the descriptions in “routing gateways”. Error message replacement: Specify the error message sent to the mapping gateway when the call cannot be established.

If user authentication is specified for this gateway, it can be configured here.

DTMF:

DTMF reception: Specifies the way by which DTMF signals are received. The “All” option is recommended, which asks the system to accept all kinds of DTMFs. Once a certain kind of DTMF is received, this channel will accept the same kind of DTMFs only, thus effectively avoiding duplicate receptions.

Payload: The payload value in RTP, for the DTMF of the RFC2833 mode.

DTMF (H323) sending: It is set to “Auto” by default, indicating that the system would determine the best way to send DTMFs based on the receiver’s capacity. If the receiver provides no capacity set, the system will send according to the default mode. The RFC2833 mode can only be specified for media proxy.

DTMF (SIP) sending: It is set to “Auto” by default. The details are the same as those of “DTMF (H323) sending” described above.

IP address: See the descriptions in “Supplement settings”.

Account number: The number of the billing account for this mapping gateway.

Account name: The name of the billing account for this mapping gateway.

Password: The password used for dynamic registration, which is also the password used for Web query.

Memo: Comments on this gateway.

Other operations:

Double-click the content of “Account name” to open the account management page for this account.

Right-click menu:

Current sessions: Open the list of “Current sessions” for this gateway.

Status monitor: Monitor the gateway status and show the connection information of this gateway in the “Gateway status” page.

Connection analysis: Open the “Connection analysis” sheet for this gateway.

Interruption analysis: Open the “Interruption analysis” sheet for this gateway.

The previous post was the first part of Routing Gateway Management in VOS3000 softswitch, where general settings can be found. Click at the link below to read the Part-1. This post will tell us about Routing Prefixes, Period Controlling in VOS.

Terminal prefix:

Prefixes of the caller number:

Allow: Prefixes of the caller numbers allowed passing through (left blank to allow all numbers).
Disallow: Prefixes of the caller numbers disallowed to pass through
Only one of the “Allow” and “Disallow” options can be chosen here.

Prefixes of the called number:

Allow: Prefixes of the called numbers allowed to pass through.
Disallow: Prefixes of the called numbers disallowed to pass through.

Rewrite Rules for the caller number: Rewrite Rules for the caller number when called out through this gateway.

Rewrite Rules for the called number: Rewrite Rules for the called number when called out through this gateway.

* Terminal Rewrite Rules are usually used on routing gateways (c.f. Rewrite Rules)

* Mapping Rewrite Rules are usually used on mapping gateways (c.f. Rewrite Rules)

Timing:

Timed Rewrite Rules:

Starting time: Time when the substitution rule comes into effect
Expiration time: Time when the substitution rule expires
Mode:
The called: The substitution rule applies to the called number
The caller: The substitution rule applies to the caller number

Substitution rule: The content of the rule

Period Call Restrictions:

Starting time: Time when the rule comes into effect

Expiration time: Time when the rule expires

Operations:

Disallow: Disallow operations for the matched prefixes
Allow: Allow operations for the matched prefixes

Mode:

The caller: Matches the prefixes of the caller numbers
The called: Matches the prefixes of the called numbers

Prefix: The prefix of the number. Multiple prefixes can be specified, separated by commas.

Timed number of channels:

Starting time: Time when the rule comes into effect

Expiration time: Time when the rule expires

Number of channels: The maximum number of channels allowed for this period of time
