Implementation Guide
The purpose of this document is to provide a detailed technical description and best practices for successful implementation of the EarthLink SIP Trunking Product for the Cisco CUCM with CUBE behind the Adtran CPE. This document provides information relative to the overall network topology as well as definition and configuration standards for each device associated with the product. Also described within this document are product guidelines and product limitations. This document is to serve as product reference and guide to EarthLink Customers.
The EarthLink Business SIP Trunking product is a complete VoIP (Voice over IP) solution based on the SIP
(Session Initiation Protocol) signaling protocol. The SIP Protocol is responsible for set-up and tear-down of voice calls and overall feature and functionality. The SIP Trunking product can be offered as an overlay to several of EarthLink’s existing products such as Internet and MPLS based products. EarthLink Business’
SIP Trunking solution will be served off a MetaSphere Call Feature Server (CFS) fronted by an
Oracle/Acme Packet SBC (Session Border Controller). The CFS acts as the centerpiece for call control and feature interaction. The EarthLink Business SIP Trunking Product will primarily use Adtran CPE (Customer
Premise Equipment) and will not be configured as a SIP Proxy. The Cisco CUBE will handle the NAT and the SIP Proxy. The MetaSphere CFS Platform is a geo-redundant, high availability solution and serves as the primary element in EarthLink’s Hosted Voice and SIP Trunking Product families.
In addition to the basic call control, advanced call routing functionality is available with EarthLink’s SIP
Trunking product with MetaSphere Enhanced Application Server (EAS) Platform which consists of multiple applications and servers integrated into high availability solution.
The Oracle/Acme Packet SBC masks private to public IP Address space to provide a safe and secure means of communication between the SIP Server and IP PBX. All SIP traffic destined to, or originating from the MetaSphere CFS, traverses through the Oracle/Acme Packet SBC. The same policy relates to the CPE device installed at the customer premise. The Oracle/Acme Packet SBC will resolve NAT
(Network Address Translation) related issues exposed when SIP traffic passes through a firewall.

Implementation Guide
The EarthLink Business SIP Trunking solution consists of several key network elements that are connected to the existing core routing infrastructure. The MetaSwitch Call Feature Server, IP/TDM
Gateways, and Oracle/Acme Packet SBC’s are geographically diverse with reach-ability at both layer two and layer three to provide failover capability and redundancy. Split-Horizon DNS servers are used to resolve the SIP domain to the appropriate regional SBC. Adtran CPE will be connected to the EarthLink network via the traditional means such as Ethernet, PPP (Point to Point Protocol), or MLPPP (Multilink
Point-to Point Protocol). T1, or bonded T1 services MUST be provisioned to either the Adtran TA5000 or directly to the Cisco 7609 (Edge Router) to allow for proper QoS (Quality of Service) behavior. The first diagram below provides a high level look at the primary components that complete the SIP Trunking product. The second diagram provides a detailed layout for the connections between the Adtran CPE and Customers IP PBX.

Implementation Guide
A voice codec (coder/decoder) is a hardware/software module/algorithm that takes an analog or digital voice stream and encodes it into an IP packet. For the EarthLink Business SIP Trunking Product, we currently support two (2) of the most common codec’s utilized in the continental United States, G.711u and G.729a. The preferred codec offered by EarthLink in the default configuration model is G.711u, then
G.729a. Basically this means that the call will negotiate using the G.711u codec first, as long as the terminating end sends G.711u as the first or primary offered codec. The paragraphs below provide more detailed information related to the codec’s and other requirements associated with proper negotiation of the media/RTP.
G.711u is the most common uncompressed audio codec deployed in the US. Because it is uncompressed, it supports the highest level of quality for the call. Typically the G.711u consumes
90Kbps-100Kbps per call. The standard sampling rate of 8kHz is used for the G.711u codec.
G.729a is the most common codec utilized to support compressed audio utilized in the US. Because it is compressed, it is perceived to have a lower voice quality than that of G.711u, however most people would never be able to tell the difference. Typically the G.729 consumes 30Kbps-40Kbps per call. The standard sampling rate of 8kHz is used for the G.729a codec.
Packetization Time determines how often the audio stream is sampled and how often an IP packet is created. The standard packetization times are 10ms, 20ms, 30ms, and 40ms. EarthLink Media
Gateway’s have been statically configured to use a 20ms packetization time. IP Phones and/or Voice
Applications will need to configure their equipment for a 20ms packetization time before audio traffic can be reliably passed across the EarthLink IP Voice network.
EarthLink supports the transmission of Dual-Tone Multi-frequency (DTMF) digits through the implementation of RFC2833. This RFC covers the basis of including DTMF digits within the media/RTP path of the call. EarthLink recommends for Customers to configure their IP PBX’s and/or Voice
Applications to use RFC2833 to allow for DTMF to be passed properly and detected across the EarthLink
IP Voice network.

Implementation Guide
Currently, analog devices such as faxes and modems MUST be provisioned using the G.711u codec only.
“SIP” to analog lines are supported as SIP Lines off the Adtran FXS Ports or a Cisco 122 ATA (Analog
Terminal Adapter). The customer may also configure the IP PBX to use analog extensions for faxes and modems. This method can be supported utilizing the G.711u codec only. T.38 is currently not supported.
Currently, the EarthLink Business Hosted Voice product only supports the North American Numbering
Plan Format. A Global Numbering Plan Format, such as E.164, is currently not supported.
To ensure the best possible voice quality, EarthLink will mark and match all VoIP traffic related to SIP
(Session Initiation Protocol) and RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol). EarthLink VoIP and/or Real-Time based appliances and applications are configured to use DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) “46” for all signaling traffic (SIP) and DSCP “46” for all Real-Time traffic (RTP) for Layer three priority. The
Customers IP PBX MUST be configured to use DSCP “46” to provide prioritization for SIP and RTP.
Marking the DSCP field in the IP packet header will allow for packet classification to be matched and provide priority across EarthLink’s network. This also ensures QoS specifications outlined in SLA (Service
Level Agreements) can be sufficiently met between EarthLink and the customer.

Implementation Guide
The steps below provide a basic guide for the configuration of the CUCM with CUBE for the EarthLink SIP
Trunking Product. Basic configuration of the CUCM with CUBE should be complete and the CUCM with
CUBE must be connected to the LAN prior to configuring the system for SIP Trunking. The Cisco CUBE will anchor the media and will be the MTP resource.

Implementation Guide
To ensure proper call negotiation can be established between EarthLink and the IP PBX, the test steps below MUST be executed during the initial turn-up process.
SIP Trunking Test Steps:
1.
Test an outbound call to a Local Number. Check for Ring-back, 2-way Audio, and Call Quality.
2.
Test an outbound call to a Long Distance Number. Check for Ring-back, 2-way Audio, and Call
Quality.
3.
Test an outbound call to an International Number. Check for Ring-back, 2-way Audio, and Call
Quality.
4.
Test an outbound call to a Toll-Free Number. Check for Ring-back, 2-way Audio, and Call Quality.
5.
Test an inbound call that lasts greater than 10 minutes
6.
Test an outbound call that lasts greater than 10 minutes
7.
Test simultaneous inbound and outbound calls to PSTN
8.
Test an outbound Call to Operator “0”
9.
Test an outbound Call to Directory Assistance “411”
10.
Test a “911” Call (IDENTIFY TO THE 911 OPERATOR THAT THIS IS A TEST). Ask them to provide phone number, address and secondary or alternate number if available.
11.
Test an inbound call to an internal DID. Check for Ring-back, 2-way Audio, and Call Quality.
12.
Test an inbound call to Auto-Attendant. Check DTMF and Call Quality
