Document Overview
This document outlines the configuration best practices for the Ribbon SBC Edge (SBC 1K, 2K, SWeLite) when deployed with Zoom Bring Your Own
Carrier (BYOC). This means that for all subscribers catering to Zoom customers, the PSTN calls terminating through the local SBC Edge are directly
connected to the Service Provider of their choice.
A Session Border Controller (SBC) is a network element deployed to protect SIP based Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) networks. Early
deployments of SBCs were focused on the borders between two service provider networks in a peering environment. This role has now expanded to
include significant deployments between a service provider's access network and a backbone network to provide service to residential and/or
enterprise customers. The interoperability compliance testing focuses on verifying inbound and outbound call flows between Ribbon SBC 1K/2K
/SWeLite and Zoom cloud. Ribbon SBC 1K/2K/SWeLite is deployed on the customer site to resolve any potential numbering format issue between
Zoom and the customer's existing carrier dial plan numbering.
This guide contains the following sections:

Captures general SBC Edge configurations for deploying with Zoom BYOC.
Section B: Zoom Web BYOC configuration
Captures the Zoom BYOC configuration.

Test all basic calls, along with the supplementary features like call hold, call transfer, and conference with configurations from
Section A and Section B.
Configure Advanced supplementary features on Zoom as mentioned in Supplementary Services Configuration on Zoom. These
include:
Auto Receptionist
Call Flip
Shared Line Appearance (SLA) or Call Delegation
Shared Line Group (SLG)
Note
SBC 1K, 2K and SWeLite are represented as SBC Edge in the subsequent sections.

Configure Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2 of SBC 1000/2000 with the IP as follows:
Navigate to Node Interfaces > Logical Interfaces.
Figure 4: Logical Interfaces
Figure 5: Ethernet 1
Figure 6: Ethernet 2
Tip
To configure Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2 of SBC SWeLite, Navigate to Networking Interfaces > Logical Interfaces.
3. Static Routes
3. Static Routes
Static routes are used to create communication to remote networks. In a production environment, static routes are mainly configured for routing from
a specific network to a network that can only be accessed through one point or one interface (single path access or default route).
Tip
For smaller networks with just one or two routes, configuring static routing is preferable. This is often more efficient since a link is
not being wasted by exchanging dynamic routing information.
For networks that have a LAN side Gateway on Voice VLAN or Multi-Switch Edge Devices (MSEs) with Voice VLAN towards SBC
Edge static routing configurations are not required.
Add Static routes need to be added towards Eth1 interface 172.16.X.X(PSTN) and Eth2 interface 162.12.X.0(Zoom), as Zoom uses multiple IPs in
this subnet.
Default static route is towards the Eth1 which is in a private network.
Navigate to Settings > Protocol > IP > Static Routes to configure the routes.
Figure 7: Static Routes
4. TLS Configuration Between Ribbon SBC Edge and Zoom

Prerequisites:
For TLS to work on the public side of network, a trusted CA (Certificate Authority) is needed. In this scenario, GoDaddy is used as a Trusted
CA.
Enable Zoom BYOC trunk with TLS/SRTP.
Request a certificate for the SBC and configure it based on the example using GoDaddy as follows:
1. Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and obtain the certificate from a Certification Authority.
2. Import the Public CA Root/Intermediate Certificate and SBC certificate on the SBC.
Step 1: Generate a Certificate Signing Request and obtain the certificate from a Certification Authority (CA).
1. Navigate to Settings > Security > SBC Certificates.

2. Click Generate SBC Edge CSR.
3. Enter data in the required fields.
4. Click OK. After the Certificate Signing request finishes generating, copy the result to the clipboard.
Figure 8: Generate Certificate Signing Request
5. Use the generated CSR text from the clipboard to obtain the certificate.
Step 2: Deploy the Root/Intermediate and SBC Certificates on the SBC.
After receiving the certificates from the certification authority, install the SBC Certificate and Root/Intermediate Certificates as follows:
1. Obtain Trusted Root and Intermediary signing certificates from your certification authority.
2. To install Trusted Root/Intermediate Certificates, go to Settings > Security > SBC Certificates > Trusted Root Certificates.
3. Click Import and select the trusted root certificates.
4. To install the SBC certificate, open Settings > Security > SBC Certificates > SBC Edge Certificate.
5. Validate the certificate is installed correctly.
Figure 9: Trusted CA certificate table
6. Click Import and select X.509 Signed Certificate.
7. Validate the certificate is installed correctly.
Figure 10: Validate certificate
TLS Profile
TLS Profile is required for the TLS handshake between SBC Edge and Zoom. This profile defines cipher suites supported by SBC Edge.

Navigate to Settings > Media > SDES-SRTP Profiles.

Select the Crypto Suite as "AES_CM_128_HMAC_SHA1_80".
Set the LifeTime Value as shown in the diagram.
Figure 15: SDES-SRTP Profile
7. SIP Profile
SIP profile is used to modify the different sip parameters like Session timers, SIP Header Customization, SDP Customization. Default SIP profile has
been used in the current test setup.
Navigate to SIP > SIP Profiles > Default SIP Profile.
Figure 16: SIP profile
Create profiles with a specific set of characteristics corresponding to PSTN. This includes configuration of the following entities on PSTN leg:
1. Media List
3. Signaling Group
4. Transformation
1. Media List
Media List allows you to specify a set of codecs used for the call. They contain a list of codecs as defined in Media Profile.
"Add/Edit" to add the different Media profile created earlier.

Set RTCP mode to "RTCP".
Set Silence Suppression to "disabled".
Figure 17: Media List
SIP Server Tables contain information about the SIP devices connected to the SBC Edge. The entries in the tables provide information about the IP
Addresses, ports and transport protocols used to communicate with each server.
Navigate to Settings > SIP > SIP Server Tables > Create SIP Server
From the drop-down, select "IP/FQDN".
Configure the SIP server table with PSTN IP (for example, 172.16.X.X in our case).
Keep the default transport protocol, which is "UDP".
Figure 18: SIP
3. Signaling Groups
Signaling groups allow telephony channels to be grouped together for the purposes of routing and shared configuration. They are the entity to which
calls are routed, as well as the location from which Call Routes are selected. They are also the location from which Tone Tables and Action Sets are
selected. In the case of SIP, they specify protocol settings and link to server, media and mapping tables.
Navigate to Settings > Signaling Groups > Create Signaling Group.

From the drop-down select "SIP Signaling Group".
Set SIP Profile as "Default SIP Profile".
Set SIP Server Table as "IP_PBX".
Set Media List ID as "Default Media List".
Configure Signaling/Media Source IP as "Ethernet 1 IP(10.54.X.X)".
Configure Federated IP as PSTN IP (172.16.X.X).
Tip
Set Call Routing table as "IP_PBX_RT" which is created in the Call Routing Table section.
Figure 19: Signalling Groups
4. Transformation
Example:
A customer has an existing carrier that only accepts the U.S.A. domestic "10-digit" dial plan numbering format. For example: (XXX) YYY-ZZZZ.
Where XXX=area code, YYY-ZZZZ=7-digit phone number. Zoom is using the E.164 numbering format: +(country code)(phone number). This creates
a phone number format incompatibility issue between Zoom and the customer carrier. Zoom expects to receive calls in E.164 numbering format,
while the customer carrier expects the USA 10-digit domestic numbering format. SBC Edge is introduced to solve the numbering interop issue
between the two entities. SBC Edge inserts a “+1” for all U.S. phone numbers destined for Zoom, and removes “+1” for all U.S. phone numbers
destined for customer carrier(s).
Note
Ribbon SBC Edge can be programmed for different country E.164 code mapping in addition to the U.S. dial plan.
"Add_plusOne" transformation rule is required for outgoing call towards Zoom.
Navigate to Settings > Call Routing > Transformation.
Figure 20: Transformation
Call Routing allows calls to be carried between signaling groups, thus allowing calls to be carried between ports, and between protocols (like ISDN to
SIP). Routes are defined by Call Routing Tables, which allow for flexible configuration of which calls are carried and how they are translated. These
tables are one of the central connection points of the system, linking Transformation Tables, Message Translations, Cause Code Reroute Tables,
Media Lists and the three types of Signaling Groups (ISDN, SIP and CAS).
Navigate to Settings > Call Routing > Call Routing Table.

Set Number/Name Transformation Table as "Add_plusOne" as created in an earlier step.
Destination Signaling Groups as "(SIP)Zoom_SG" in the Media. Select the following options:
Audio/Fax Stream Mode as "DSP".
Media Transcoding as "Enabled".
Media list as "Zoom_ML".
Tip
Attach the Media List and Destination Signaling Groups which are created in Zoom Leg Configuration.
Figure 21: Call Routing Table
Create profiles with a specific set of characteristics corresponding to Zoom. This includes configuration of the following entities on the Zoom leg:
1. Media List.
2. SIP Server Tables.
3. Signaling Group.
4. Transformation.
5. Call Routing Table.
1. Media List
Media List allows you to specify a set of codecs used for the call. They contain a list of codecs, defined in Media Profile.
"Add/Edit" to add the different Media profile as created earlier.

As the Zoom leg would be SRTP, attach the SDES-SRTP Profile as "SRTP_1" as created earlier.
Set RTCP mode to "RTCP".
Set Silence Suppression to "disabled".
Figure 22: Media List

SIP Server Tables contain information about the SIP devices connected to the SBC Edge. The entries in the tables provide information about the IP
Addresses, ports and transport protocols used to communicate with each server.
Navigate to Settings > SIP > SIP Server Tables >Create SIP Server.
From the drop-down select "IP/FQDN".
Configure the SIP server table with Zoom IP (for example, 162.12.X.X in our case).
Configure Transport protocol as "TLS".
Set TLS Profile as "Default TLS Profile" as created in the section TLS Profile.
