Initial data

Integration of the ECSS-10 Class 5 software switch (SSW) on 1 physical server with support for SIP with the following parameters per load:

  • Maximum number of subscribers — 15.000 (MUL — Max user limit);
  • Maximum number of simultaneous connections — 2.000 (MCL — Max call limit);
  • System redundancy is not required;
  • The number of Ethernet network interfaces — 4.

According to the technical specification, it is required to determine the hardware platform.

Connecting to network

The topology of connecting the server to the network to ensure redundancy is recommended to be done using 2 switches.

Figure 1 — Network connection diagram

Option 1. Active-backup

The switches are connected in erps ring.

All 4 physical network interfaces are connected into 1 aggregated link (bond). Server port aggregation is configured in active-backup mode, i.e. there is always only 1 network interface in operation. Server network interfaces are connected in pairs in switches, on which port aggregation (port-channel) is also configured in active-backup mode.

For example, eth0 and eth1 are connected in the first switch, and eth2 and eth3 are connected in the second.

Option 2. LACP

The switches are connected in a stack. The stack must logically operate as a single switch, capable of providing port aggregation between different physical switches in LACP mode. MES-3124 with specialized firmware can be an example. 

All 4 physical network interfaces are connected into 1 aggregated link (bond). Server port aggregation is configured in 802.3ad mode. Network cards aggregated groups with same rate and duplex are created. With such a combination, the transmission uses all channels in active aggregation according to the IEEE 802.3ad standard. The choice on which interface to send a packet is determined by policy. By default, it is XOR policy, also xmit_hash policy can be used. For more information, see Netplan section. 

Requirements:

  • Ethtool support in driver to obtain information about speed and duplex on each network interface;
  • IEEE802.3ad standard support on switch. 

Server network interfaces are also included in pairs in switches, on which port aggregation (port-channel) is configured in LACP mode. For example, eth0 and eth1 are included to first switch (port-channel 1), and eth2 and eth3 — to the second (port-channel 2).

Installation of ECSS-10 on one server

Installation of ECSS-10 consists of two main parts:

  1. Preparation: installation of Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu packets updating, OS "optimization", installation of additional software packages, preparation of network interfaces, /etc/hosts, ssh-keygen
  2. Installation of ECSS-10 

Preparation

This section describes the operating system installation, as well as required and optional packages. ECSS-10 version 3.18 runs on Ubuntu 22.04.

Preliminary requirements:

* The recommended value for series Light, Light+, Midi is 100 GB. The recommended value for series Heavy is 200 GB, for Super Heavy is 400 GB.

The system requires at least 256 GB of free space.

It is neccessary to configure "hostname" parameter on the system servers.

It is recommended to specify the same username (anything except ssw) on all servers in the system. The ECSS-10 license is linked to the eToken/ruToken key and the computer hostname. The system user ssw is created when installing the ecss-user package.

When installing the system in a cluster, the recommended value for the first server is ecss1.

Configuring network

Install the software switch according to the parameters specified in the technical specification. In this example, it is assumed that the required operating system is already installed. 

It is recommended to split traffic used for different purposes. For example, management traffic and VoIP traffic. To do this, 2 or more VLANs are created. In the minimum case and with a small load, one VLAN can be enough. Hovewer, it will cause inconvenience in the future at traffic dump and its analysis. According to the technical specification, host IP adresses, gateways, DNS, routing and other parameters are configured on VLAN. 
According to the technical specification, the following addresses are used in a given example:

  • 10.0.10.41/24 — for management, vlan 10;
  • 10.0.20.41/24 — for VoIP.

There is an address structure inside the server platform and internal addresses are used for interaction between subsystems (nodes) in the cluster. For example, the internal address for a cluster on one server is 127.0.0.1, while the kernel (ecss-core) interacts with the multimedia data processing server (ecss-media-server). Their interaction takes place using the same address, but each software part has its own transport port: ecss-core — 5000, ecss-msr — 5040.

A single address for accessing the MySQL database is defined for all cluster nodes, for example, the ecss-mysql address 127.0.0.1. Thus, the uniformity condition is fulfilled, in which all cluster nodes have completely identical data about the current state of the dynamic components of the software switch (for example, call history).

Preparing system network interfaces

According to the technical specification, the system has 4 network interfaces. Information about their status can be viewed using the ifconfig or ip a command:

eth0: flags=6211<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SLAVE,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 36:10:28:73:63:01 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)

eth1: flags=6211<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SLAVE,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 36:10:28:73:63:01 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)

eth2: flags=6211<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SLAVE,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether be:77:ea:52:4d:39 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)

eth3: flags=6211<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SLAVE,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether be:77:ea:52:4d:39 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)

lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0

First, the network interfaces are configured. Ubuntu18 uses the netplan utility to configure.

This utility is meant for configuring the network and then uploading it to the system using the network manager networkd or NetworkManager.

sudo nano /etc/netplan/ecss_netplan.yaml

The rest of files from this directory should be moved to another place or be romoved.

In the configurations for each host, first of all, declare the ethernets section, which describes existing in the system Ethernet interfaces that will be used in the future. It is important to disable the use of dynamic address allocation (DHCP) for each interface.

Optionally, gateways for communication with the outside world and DNS server addresses are defined, as well as IP addresses for each interface.

IMPORTANT

Note that while editing netplan, you must follow the YAML markup rules:

  • Mandatory presence of two spaces before each line (except network).
  • Each subsection is additionally shifted by 2 spaces:

→ Section                                                               |network

→ Subsection                                                         |_'_'bonds:

→ Subsection of the bonds section description    |_'_'_'_'bonded_one:

→ etc.                                                                     |_'_'_'_'...

  • There is no space before the ":" sign, after — one space.
  • Before the "-" sign, the number of spaces is as if a new subsection begins, after — one space.

Example of configuring ecss-netplan.yaml file for active-backup connection option:

# Netplan for the ecss1 host of the software switch
# Pay attention to the mandatory presence of at least two spaces in each line and section (except for the network section line)

network:
version: 2 # netplan version
renderer: networkd # netplan configuration executor
ethernets: # Ethernet interfaces description section
enp0s3: # Name of the VM interface to the internet         dhcp4: no # Disabling dynamic distribution of IP address on the interfaces         dhcp6: no addresses: [192.168.56.41/24] enp0s8: # interface name for SSW dhcp4: no # Disabling dynamic distribution of IP address on the interfaces         dhcp6: no vlans: net.10: # Management interface         id: 10 link: enp0s3 addresses: [10.0.10.41/24]
net.20: # interface for VoIP
id: 20
link: enp0s8
addresses: [10.0.20.41/24]

The following bond settings are required for the ECSS server to run correctly:

mode: active-backup - specifies the operating mode in which one link is selected as active, while the others remain in backup;
primary-reselect-policy: failure - specifies that a new active link should be selected only when the current active link fails. This avoids unnecessary switching;
gratuitous-arp: 5 - when the active link changes, five gratuitous ARP requests are sent to the switch to update its switching table. This facilitates faster switching;
all-slaves-active: true - forces incoming frames to be accepted on the backup interfaces. This ensures that traffic balancing on the MES does not interfere with operation. Data flows to the server from all links, and the server sends data only from the active link;
mii-monitor-interval: 100 - enables link monitoring via the MII interface and specifies a polling interval of 100 ms;
up-delay: 1000 - specifies that a connected interface should not be considered immediately available for operation, but rather a one-second delay should be applied after the interface has been connected. This is necessary to avoid unnecessary switching when the port repeatedly switches between the "on" and "off" states.


It is also recommended to check for any other files in the /etc/netplan/ directory. If other files are present, they should be moved to another directory or deleted. Otherwise, incorrect configuration of network interfaces and incorrect operation of SSW may occur.

Apply parameters with the command:

sudo netplan apply

It is neccessary to configure "hostname" parameter on the system servers.

It is recommended to specify the same username (anything except ssw) on all servers in the system. The ECSS-10 license is linked to the eToken/ruToken key and the computer hostname. The system user ssw is created when installing the ecss-user package.

When installing the system in a cluster, the recommended value for the first server is ecss1.

Other host names are possible only upon project approval; this will be required to generate licenses.

Specify hostname: ecss1 in file /etc/hostname:

sudo nano /etc/hostname 

Specify real IP address and host name (for example 10.0.20.41 ecss1) in file /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1   localhost # Local loopback address, used by some ecss services
10.0.20.41  ecss1 # Host address

Optimization of the operating system

Set OS settings to performance mode

Use cpufrequtils utility.

sudo apt install cpufrequtils

By default, after installation, Ubuntu uses the "ondemand" mode (CPU performance is based on application requests, saving power, but lower performance):

cat /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils | grep GOVERNOR=

In the system output message, the default operating mode after installation is "ondemand":

GOVERNOR="ondemand"

Set the efficiency/performance mode - replace the value "ondemand" with "performance" in the file /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils.

sudo sed -i 's/GOVERNOR="ondemand"/GOVERNOR="performance"/g' /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils

Restart the utility:

on both hosts
sudo /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils restart 

Then run the command:

on both hosts
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Disable SWAP

The Ubuntu SSW server operates in real time, so all necessary data must be in RAM. Using a swap file (/swap.img) can increase the processing time of ECSS10 SSW application calls, which is unacceptable. Disable swap.

Run three commands in sequence:

Disable swap:

sudo swapoff -a

Delete swap.img file.

sudo rm /swap.img

Comment out the line "/swap.img none swap sw 0 0" in the "/etc/fstab" file – change it to "# /swap.img none swap sw 0 0"

or delete this line (/swap.img none swap sw 0 0).

sudo nano /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda2 during curtin installation
/dev/disk/by-uuid/731728e2-4d6b-499a-afea-9362fd6726b2 / ext4 defaults 0 1

To check, run the command free -h:

free -h

Swap size is 0 – that is, it is disabled

free -h
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           3,9G        110M        3,2G        820K        535M        3,5G
Swap:            0B          0B          0B

Setting the time zone

When installing Ubuntu 22, it is not prompted to set a time zone (UTC is the default). One should set it manually (for the rating system, scheduled tasks, etc.) to function correctly. For example:

sudo timedatectl set-timezone Asia/Novosibirsk

Improving the performance of high-load servers

It is possible to improve the performance of high-load servers by increasing the open file limit.

To set the open file limit, follow these steps:

Check the current limit with the command:

ulimit -a

Result:

eltex@ecss1:~$ ulimit -a
core file size          (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority             (-e) 0
file size               (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals                 (-i) 15515
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) 65536
max memory size         (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                      (-n) 1024
pipe size            (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues     (bytes, -q) 819200
real-time priority              (-r) 0
stack size              (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time               (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes              (-u) 15515
virtual memory          (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks                      (-x) unlimited

This limit (open files 1024) is not enough for normal operation of high-load servers.

Set open file limit for each user:

sudo sed -i  '55i\*                soft    nproc           65536\n*                hard    nproc           131072\n*                soft    nofile          65536\n*                hard    nofile          131072\nroot             -       memlock         unlimited' /etc/security/limits.conf

# /etc/security/limits.conf
#
#Each line describes a limit for a user in the form:
#
#<domain>        <type>  <item>  <value>
#
#Where:
#<domain> can be:
#        - a user name
#        - a group name, with @group syntax
#        - the wildcard *, for default entry
#        - the wildcard %, can be also used with %group syntax,
#                 for maxlogin limit
#        - NOTE: group and wildcard limits are not applied to root.
#          To apply a limit to the root user, <domain> must be
#          the literal username root.
#
#<type> can have the two values:
#        - "soft" for enforcing the soft limits
#        - "hard" for enforcing hard limits
#
#<item> can be one of the following:
#        - core - limits the core file size (KB)
#        - data - max data size (KB)
#        - fsize - maximum filesize (KB)
#        - memlock - max locked-in-memory address space (KB)
#        - nofile - max number of open files
#        - rss - max resident set size (KB)
#        - stack - max stack size (KB)
#        - cpu - max CPU time (MIN)
#        - nproc - max number of processes
#        - as - address space limit (KB)
#        - maxlogins - max number of logins for this user
#        - maxsyslogins - max number of logins on the system
#        - priority - the priority to run user process with
#        - locks - max number of file locks the user can hold
#        - sigpending - max number of pending signals
#        - msgqueue - max memory used by POSIX message queues (bytes)
#        - nice - max nice priority allowed to raise to values: [-20, 19]

# End of file

IMPORTANT

Installation of packages must be done NOT under the ssw system user.

Operating system software update

Add the ELTEX repository to install the ECSS-10 system:

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb [arch=amd64] http://archive.eltex.org/ssw/jammy/3.18 stable main extras external' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/eltex-ecss10-stable.list"

Next, import the key with the following command:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 33CB2B750F8BB6A5

Before starting the installation, update the OS:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

In case the following system message is displayed

W: http://archive.eltex.org/ssw/jammy/3.18/dists/unstable/InRelease: Key is stored in legacy trusted.gpg keyring (/etc/apt/trusted.gpg), see the DEPRECATION section in apt-key(8) for details.

Run the following command:

on both hosts
sudo cp /etc/apt/trusted.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d
sudo apt upgrade

The APT package installation utility analyzes package version from left to right. For example, if we have package 14.14.7.7, the repository contains packages:

14.14.7.8
14.14.7.9
14.14.8.1
14.14.20–14.14.28.
Then, when running the sudo apt install package name command → package 14.14.28 will be automatically checked and installed. Since it is the most recent, the analysis will be performed based on the third position (major), and the fourth position (minor) will not be analyzed (the same applies to sudo apt upgrade command).

If a specific situation requires upgrading from version 14.14.7.7 to version 14.14.7.9, the standard command → sudo apt upgrade will not help, since the newest package will be selected. In this situation, it is needed to explicitly specify which version of the package wanted to be installed. In this example, we should select the command → sudo apt install package name=14.14.7.9. This is usually necessary for testing a specific patch; for standard updates, it is enough to select the usual command to install/update the package.

Before installing the ecss packages, it is needed to ensure that the network's bandwidth meets the requirements.

To do this, run the command sudo ethtool <interface name> for all physical interfaces.

sudo ethtool net.20
Settings for net.20:
    Supported ports: [ TP ]

Installing ecss-node

Installation of the required ecss-node package includes installation and initial configuration of the main subsystems.

The ecss-postgres-bdr-ssw package should already be installed on the system.

To install the ecss-node package, run the command:

initially on ecss1 after completing the package installation on ecss2
sudo apt install -y ecss-node

During package installation, the ssw user is created, under which all ecss* services are launched. The necessary directories are created, DNS is configured, and SSL certificates are configured.

During installation, the ecss-user package will also be installed.

Installing on ecss1 server

During installation, it will be prompted to configure the parameters necessary for generating configuration files. Examples of replies are below.

License installation

The ECSS-10 system uses the ELM licencing – the ECSS ecosystem's license distribution service, consisting of ecss-license-agent and ecss-license-provider.

  • ECSS License Agent – ​​An adapter for working with the ECSS License Provider (LP). It receives a list of License Provider hosts and implements the logic for connecting and reconnecting to the LP.
    • Responsible for obtaining, validating, and then sending licenses to the client.
    • Sends connection statuses and received licenses to the client.
    • Provides an API for sending HTTP requests and WS events to the LP.
  • ECSS License Provider – A service for orchestrating license parameters for ECSS nodes.
    • Responsible for:
      • Obtaining a license for a specific ECSS node (SSW / AuP) or device (SMG)
      • Distributing license parameters between ECSS nodes and ECSS services
      • Monitoring ECSS node activity and validating them to prevent license replication beyond specified limits
      • Monitoring changes to specified limits on ECSS nodes and dynamically distributing them according to current load.

ecss-license-agent is a component of the SSW and is part of the ecss-node package. It requires no separate configuration.

The Ecss License Provider can be installed on either the SSW or a dedicated server. If the Ecss License Provider is already installed on your project, you only need to add an entry for the new component in the LP configuration file, and the next step, "LP Installation", will not be required.


To install the ecss-license-provider package, it is necessary to run the following command:

sudo apt install ecss-license-provider 

When installing the ecss-license-provider package, you will be asked the following questions:

LP configuration

The ecss-license-provider service uses two configuration files: /etc/ecss/ecss-license-provider/config.env and /etc/ecss/ecss-license-provider/config.yaml.
Information is saved in the config.env file when the ecss-license-provider package is installed.

The config.yaml file contains the basic settings for connecting to the ELM server, including where to obtain licenses, which licenses to use, and where to transfer them. All of this must be configured manually.

Run the command:

sudo nano /etc/ecss/ecss-license-provider/config.yaml


information in file after installation
elm_addresses: []
licenses: []
ecss_nodes: []

In the elm_adresses field specify a list of ELM servers to which you want to connect to obtain licenses. The first address in the list is used as the primary address. Additional address lines act as backups.

Eltex ELM server data — "elm.eltex-co.ru:8099".

example:
- "elm.eltex-co.ru:8099"
- "192.168.111.22:8099"
- "elm-3.eltex.loc:8099"

Next, the licenses themselves are specified in the licenses field.

  • id – can be any, as long as it is unique for each license. This only affects the license address on the LP itself (e.g., 0, 1, 2, 3).
  • kind – only ssw is supported for SSW.
  • type – select elm if this license needs to be requested from the ELM server. If you need to use a file-based SSW license, select ecss_license.
    • For elm type, you must specify the license_key and product_id fields to identify the license.
    • For ecss_license type, specify the license field, which contains the static license key.

The license_key and product_id parameters must match the data loaded on the ELM server.

The value of the license_key, product_id or license, passport parameters must be obtained from the project manager.


ecss_nodes block

Specify the details of the services that will receive the license. In our case, it is the SSW. The service is defined by three parameters:

  • id – the service identifier; must match the ECSS_ID of the licensed SSW.
  • kind – the type of service being licensed. Similar to the license block, only ssw is supported for SSW.
  • license_id – the identifier of the license that will be sent to this service. Corresponds to the license identifiers from the licenses block.

Two SSWs with different ECSS_IDs cannot obtain the same license; a configuration with such a distribution will be marked as invalid.
Furthermore, two SSWs with the same ECSS_ID cannot simultaneously obtain the same license from the same LP.
Therefore, it is extremely important to correctly set your ECSS_ID and make it unique, at least within the visibility range of the LP being used.

ECSS_ID format
It must begin and end with a Latin letter or number, while dots and dashes may be used in the body.

[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9.-][A-Za-z0-9]

For SSW running in a cluster, specify only one entry in the ecss_nodes block per cluster; individual entries for each host are not allowed. Otherwise, two requests with the same ECSS_ID will be generated, which is unacceptable.

config.yaml file example
elm_addresses:
 - "elm.eltex-co.ru:8099"

   license: "af615ebb92d381125ff"
ecss_nodes:
 - id: abf.test
   kind: ssw
   license_id: 0

Restart the ecss-license-provider.service to update the configuration from the /etc/ecss/ecss-license-provider/config.yaml file using the following command:

sudo systemctl restart ecss-license-provider.service

If LP is already installed and used on the local network, you need to add the new SSW parameters to the /etc/ecss/ecss-license-provider/config.yaml configuration file in the licenses and ecss_nodes blocks.

Run the command:

sudo nano /etc/ecss/ecss-license-provider/config.yaml

Example:

Before:

Restart the ecss-license-provider.service to update the configuration from the /etc/ecss/ecss-license-provider/config.yaml file using the following command:

sudo systemctl restart ecss-license-provider.service

To enable system nodes to become operational, it is necessary to configure the system by specifying the names of the hosts on which the ecss services are deployed.

Command in CoCon: /system/clusters/set [<host1>, <host2>, ... <hostN>].

In a single server configuration (hostname ecss1), run the command:

in CoCon
/system/clusters/set [ecss1]

Connecting the SSW to the License Provider

Configure the SSW connection to the LP using the following command in CoCon (in this example, the LP with IPadd host 10.0.10.51. The default port value from the /etc/ecss/ecss-license-provider/config.env file is 4321):

in CoCon
/system/licence/manager/set --hosts [https://10.0.10.51:4321]

If LP is installed on SSW hosts, specify OAM IP addresses.

After completion, check the connection status with the command:

in CoCon
/system/licence/manager/show-status           
┌───────────────────────┬───────┬─────┐
│         Host          │Current│Alive│
├───────────────────────┼───────┼─────┤
│https://10.0.10.51:4321│*      │true │
└───────────────────────┴───────┴─────┘

The host must have the alive=true status and be "current."

  • Current - displays the host the SSW is connected to. If connected, * is indicated; otherwise, nothing is indicated.
  • Alive - displays the host's availability status (healthcheck).

Connection to License Officer

Failure to connect to the License Provider/ELM will be equivalent to a loss of access to the token, leading to critical crashes and a transition to emergency mode, after which, if the connection is not restored, the system will switch to the default license.

This behavior only applies when operating in ELM mode.

If the status off the LP host is shown as current, it is possible to send a request to download a license to the SSW using the command:

in CoCon
/cluster/storage/ds1/licence/request
type=elm
/cluster/storage/ds1/licence/request      
Licence received      
[*******                                                               ] 6s 2ms   
Success: Licence parameters applied

In the "type=ecss_license" mode, the /cluster/storage/ds1/licence/request command will only be executed if the passport has been previously loaded.

Installing ecss-restf,  ecss-media-server, ecss-web-conf packages 

Perform configuration for the Sip adapter by running the following command:

sudo systemctl edit ecss-pa-sip.service

Add the following data to the configuration file:

[Service]
LimitNOFILE=65536

These two lines need to be inserted in a specific location. (Starting with Ubuntu 22.04.2, there are a few important points. The file that opens is completely commented out, but the first few lines look like in the image below. Any edits you make should be between these two comment blocks).

Reload the configuration

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Update the configuration file by rebooting the server:

on both hosts
sudo systemctl restart ecss-mycelium ecss-ds ecss-core ecss-pa-sip ecss-mediator

Next, the ecss-restf packages are installed, followed by ecss-media-server, ecss-media-resources, ecss-web-conf and others in any order:

ecss-restfs

ecss-restfs package

on both hosts
sudo apt install -y ecss-restfs

Installing ecss-restfs. During installation, you'll be asked a series of questions to create the necessary configuration files. The installer will also prompt you to install and configure the Text2speech package from Yandex.

IMPORTANT!

In case of successful proxying (200), the cache is stored for 28 days, therefore, to apply the filter configuration, in case of changes, the cache (/var/cache/ecss/restfs-api) should be deleted and the ecss-restfs service should be restarted.

After installing the ecss-restfs package, check for the presence of auto-informer wav files in the /var/lib/ecss/restfs/system/sounds/ directory using the command:

ll /var/lib/ecss/restfs/system/sounds/

The presence of about 140 wav files in the directory specified above indicates that the ecss-restfs package was installed correctly.

The absence of wav files in the above directory indicates a problem installing the ecss-restfs package. To resolve this, run the following command:

sudo apt --fix-broken install 

and repeat the verification command:

ll /var/lib/ecss/restfs/system/sounds/

Check the accessibility of these files from the outside. To do this, execute the command on the host ecss1 one by one:

ecss-media-server

sudo apt install -y ecss-media-server

For the media server (ecss-media-server/MSR), initial configuration is possible by writing parameters to a configuration file. To do this, configure transport bind-addr,mcc bind-addres:

ecss-media-server questionsReplies for ecss1
[ MSR SIP ] Enter bind-ip address10.0.20.41 (needs to be entered)
[MSR Control-Channel] Enter bind-ip address10.0.20.41 (needs to be entered)

After creating the default configurations, perform a check: 

cat /etc/ecss/ecss-media-server/config.xml

The msr configuration is located inside: config.xml, and the default.xml configuration is in the conf.d directory.

Default.xml is an extension of config.xml that defines the accounts section. This is done to ensure that this configuration remains unchanged after package updates.

By default, after installation, ECSS-10 activates only the following codecs: pcma, pcmu, g722, h264, h263-1998, and t38. The rest have a status of 0 = off. If you want to activate other codecs, use the nano editor to change the priority from 0 to a priority number (the priority level should not be repeated for the audio/video/fax service).
sudo nano /etc/ecss/ecss-media-server/config.xml

To activate all codecs, change the line -

<codec pcma="1" pcmu="2" ilbc="0" gsm="0" g722="3" g726="0" g729="0" speex="0" l16="0" g7221="0" opus="0" h264="1" h263-1998="2" t38="1" tel-event-pt="0"/>
to - 
<codec pcma="1" pcmu="2" ilbc="6" gsm="4" g722="3" g726="11" g729="5" speex="7" l16="8" g7221="9" opus="10" h264="1" h263-1998="2" t38="1" tel-event-pt="0"/>

It's not allowed to specify the same priority for different codecs, for example, g722="5" g729="5". Otherwise, they will not work correctly or will be ignored.
Except for "0" – disabled.

Consider the accounts section (default.xml file):

cat /etc/ecss/ecss-media-server/conf.d/default.xml

Check the data for correctness.

Configuring msr for ecss1(/etc/ecss/ecss-media-server/conf.d/default.xml)

            </via>
        </dynamic>
    </accounts>
</config>

It specifies the current settings used to register msr on core.

The main parameters here are msr_name and realm:

  • msr_name — defines the name of the msr (it is recommended to specify msr. name and the host it belongs to, for example, msr.ecss1);
  • realm — defines the address for registering with the core. The default entry point is port 5000, address is 127.0.0.1.

After changing the configuration files /etc/ecss/ecss-media-server/config.xml and /etc/ecss/ecss-media-server/conf.d/default.xml, restart the ecss-media-server for the changes to take effect, using the following command:

sudo systemctl restart ecss-media-server

ecss-web-conf

on both hosts
sudo apt install ecss-web-conf

The web configurator makes system management more intuitive and convenient. Installing the web configurator is optional, but recommended.

Installing the ecss-web-conf package also automatically installs the ecss-subscriber-portal-ui package. The ECSS-10 Subscriber Portal application allows subscribers to independently manage services, view information on completed calls and active conferences, and configure their own IVR scripts for incoming calls.

ecss-web-conf questionsReplies for both hostsExample
Do you want to use the default settings?Yes (default)

Check the connectivity of the web interface http://10.0.20.41, user/password: admin/password. Not all functions are available at the moment, but the web interface should be working and the login successful.

Security configuration. SSH

Configure the SSH server:

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Specify the port and address to which the server can be accessed in the configuration file:

Configuring ssh for ecss1 (/etc/ssh/sshd_config)

# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file. See
# sshd_config(5) for more information.

# This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options override the
# default value.

Example of a primary system configuration using web configurator

Initial data

  • System installation is complete;
  • System is ready for further configuring;
  • Interfaces are running.

It is recommended to use the latest available browser versions. Recommended browsers: Opera, Chrome.

To start configuring the system, go to the web configurator: http://<Ipadd SSW>.

To determine and register in the system, the following are planned:

  • Subscribers with numbers 42001, 42002 , 42003, 42004 ,42005, 42006, 42007, 42008, 42009, 42010;
  • Trunk towards the gateway.

Preparation for work

Figure 1 — Log in to the web configurator (authorization window)

In the authorization window, enter the values defined during the installation of the web configurator.

Default values for authorization:

Login: admin

Password: password

After logging in, the main workspace with application icons will be visible, as well as status bar with available options, in particular:

  • 1 — log out of the system;
  • 2 — domain selection;
  • 3 — language selection.

Figure 2 — View of the web configurator workspace

Creating an operator account

After authorization, in order to increase security during the operation of the software switch, it is recommended to create accounts for operators, as well as to change the password for the admin user.

To create a new operator account, use User manager application:

Figure 3 — Application view "User Manager"

Click the "Add" button . In the window that opens, define a new account, for this:

  1. In the "Name" field, enter the login of the account, for example, "test";
  2. In the "Password" field and "Confirmation" field enter the password for the user, for example "testpassword";
  3. Define level of access rights for the user by selecting current permissions or using roles, for example ecss-user.

Figure 4 — Operator account creation dialog box

Figure 5 — Application view with created operator account

To change the password, click the edit button next to the user name. In the dialog box that opens, enter:

  1. Old password (for the admin user, the default password is password);
  2. New password;
  3. Confirm new password.

Figure 6 — Edit user dialog box

Adding media resources

To begin working with the media server immediately after its registration, it is necessary to activate the MSR network interfaces. The web configurator application "MSR registrars" is used to configure media resources.

Figure 7 — MSR registrars

Set the IP address for receiving connections from the media server, changing the value 0.0.0.0 to the actual MSR addresses:

Figure 8 — Setting the IP address of the MSR

Creating IP-set (sip transport) and assigning it to a domain

To configure an interface, open the Clusters application.

Figure 9 — Clusters application view

To create a new IP address group (IP-set), select the SIP adapter cluster "sip1" and click on the Cluster Properties button (or double-click on the cluster icon with left mouse button).

In the dialog box that appears, go to the Transport tab. Next, click on Add button. New group will appear. To edit the fields, double-click the one you need:

  1. Rename an address group (IP-set), for example "test_set";
  2. Specify the port on which the domain will be accessed, for example 5060;
  3. Expand newly created group by clicking on the black triangle to the left of the group name;
  4. Define the address for the SIP adapter node, according to the configuration example. For example specify 10.0.20.41:

Figure 12 — Clusters/Transport application view

Click Save to apply the settings.

Creating a domain

Domain is a virtual PBX within our SSW. We can create as many of virtual PBXs as needed for a project.

To create a domain, log in to the Domains application. In the window that opens, create a domain:

1. Click the Add domain button:

Figure 11 — Adding domain to the system

2. The following settings are available in the dialog box that opens:

  • Name individual name of the virtual PBX;
  • Service profile (SS profile) — system profile of additional services. This profile will be copiedwith the same name to newly created domain and all services from this profile will be automatically allowed access via access-list;
  • IVR profile (IVR profile) — the IVR profile specified in the IVR Constraints Editor application.

Enter the domain name, for example "test_domain";

3. Click Ok:

Figure 12 — Domain declare

4. Click the Updatebutton.

Created domain will be displayed in the current configuration:

Figure 13 — Displaying created domain

To edit current domain, it must be selected in the system. To switch to a domain, use the domain selection option (see point 2 in the figure View of the web configurator workspace).

After selecting the domain, according to the current system configuration, all applications will be available:

Figure 14 — Displaying applications in current system configuration

To link an address group to a domain, return to the "Domain" app, select the domain, and go to the settings by clicking the "Domain Properties" button or double-clicking the domain.

In the list settings, open the "SIP" branch, then "SIP Transport," then select the newly created address group in the IP set field. Click "Save" to apply the settings.

Figure 15 — SIP transport settings

Select the required services for the created domain that will be used (for example, for a subscriber domain, trunk services are not required, and vice versa for a transit domain. There is no need to specify services for the subscriber).

Figure 16 — After creating a new domain, there are no services

  1. Select the "SS Install" application;
  2. Select the "SS installed" column (services specified in the SSW license);
  3. Select the services required for the specified domain.

Save configuration.

Figure 17 — Selection of services for subscribers/trunks of the new domain

Figure 18 — List of services now available to subscribers of the new domain

Creating subscribers

The Subscriber card application is used to create and edit subscriber parameters in the system.

Figure 19 — Subscriber card application view

It is possible to create SIP subscribers and virtual subscribers in the application.

For users with a physical termination, the functionality of the SIP subscriber is used, while the virtual subscriber is used when functionality without physical endings is needed. For example, the number for accessing the ivr script.

To create new subscribers, click on the Add button.

In the dialog box that opens, specify the following parameters:

  • Context — routing context, select the one that you created, for example "test_name";
  • Interface name — number or group of numbers that is assigned to the subscriber, for example {42001-42010} or abcd;
  • Interface group — the name of a group that unites several subscribers, for example "sip";
  • Alias as user — setting that binds entity number, alias and user with the same name, in the example the setting is activated;
  • Authorization — procedure for verifying the authenticity of the user's rights to access data, in the example always is used.
  • Login — use WHATEVER.
  • Password — can be set or used generated by the system.

Creating and applying routing contexts for a domain

Routing is responsible for finding the number and then addressing the call. At least one routing context must be configured for the system to operate correctly.

Routing is configured in Routing Manager application.

Figure 22 — Routing manager application view

Example of creating a context and a few rules in it:

1. In the left part of the window in the Context section click the Create context button ;

2. In the dialog box that opens, indicate the name of the context;

3. Click Ok button;

4. Click Save context ;


Create 4 rules in this context:

  • rule1 — rule for accessing TAU-72 trunk;
  • rule2 — local routing rule for numbers 42001-42005;
  • rule3 — rule for entering the ivr;
  • rule4 — exception rule.

To create a new rule, select the created context and click Create rule. In the window that appears, enter name of the rule. Then save the newly created rules.

Figure 23 — Creating routing context rule

Figure 24 — Defining rules

At the moment, the trunk that can be referred in a rule is not defined, however it is possible to specify the numbers by which the selection will be made.

Go to the lower part of the screen by clicking on the rule1, where the areas for editing the routing context are located. It is conditionally defined in the example that selection for entering the trunk will be carried out based on the characteristics of the called subscriber number (CDPN), and the numbers in the trunk should start with digit 4.

Functionally, the routing context is divided into three parts:

  • Condition — section defining the expressions for selection according to the proposed criteria;
  • Action — section that converts the signs of numbers to a specific value;
  • Result — section that completes the routing and determines its result.

rule1: To access the trunk, edit each part correctly:

  • In the conditions section, go to the CDPN tab. Enter the phone numbers that are assigned to the trunk in the Number field. For example, to define numbers from 42006 to 42007, enter condition 420(6-7);
  • In the actions section, go to the CDPN tab. Enter a mask to change the number in the Number field. For example, to add number 4 before the number, fill in the field with the following expression 4{1,2,3,4,5};
  • Click Save rule and Save Context buttons to apply changes.

To configure the result field, the trunk must be defined in the system, so return to configuring this rule a little later.

Configure remaining rules in the same way.

For rule2:

  • In CDPN tab in conditions section, enter phone numbers that are behind the trunk in "Number" field. For example, to define numbers from 42001 to 42005, enter condition 420(1-5);
  • In the result section, define the result as local (e. local routing);
  • Click Save rule and Save Context buttons to apply changes.

For rule 3, assume that subscribers with numbers 108, 109 and 110 get into the informant ivr script before calling further.

  • In CGPN tab in conditions section, enter the phone numbers for which the selection will be in the field "Number", for example 420(10.08-09).
  • Click Save rule and Save Context buttons to apply changes.

To configure the result field, ivr script must be defined in the system, so return to configuring this rule later.

For rule 4, define an exception rule — this is a rule that works in case any other rules fail.

  • By default, this rule is created in the system in default_routing context. The % symbol is written to the called number in the conditions, and the result is local routing, however, it is recommended to create this rule at the end if assigning to the subscriber a context other than default_routing.

Figure 25 — Example of configuring routing context 

Creating trunk 

To create and edit trunk parameters in the system, use the Trunk manager application.

Figure 26 — Trunk Manager application view

To define a trunk in the system, click on the Trunk declare button, define parameters in the dialog box that opens:

  • Name — assign trunk name by which it can be identified in the system;
  • Context — apply previously created test_name routing context;
  • Group — select the interface group created when defining 'test.group' subscribers;
  • IP address group (IPSet) — 'ipset1' address group created on the domain;
  • Registration — if trunk is used, then enable this parameter, it is not used in the example;
  • Host [:port] — destination IP address of the trunk — 10.0.3.100;
  • Listen port — transport port where traffic from the trunk will be listened to, corresponds to the port assigned to the IP address group.

Figure 27 — Creating a trunk

Creating IVR script 

To create IVR, use the IVR editor application. 

To create a script, click on the Add  button, select script type (in this case there is a script for incoming calls), specify the name of the script in the dialog box, for example "test_ivr".

After creating the script, a flowchart will appear in the main editor window.

In figures below is shown an example of making a script that plays a pre-recorded phrase to the caller when triggered, and then continues the call.

  • Info —  block that plays messages until the user responds. A tone generator is used as a recorded phrase:

Figure 29 — View of the IVR workspace with the Info block settings

  • Dial — block that makes a call to a given number. To continue the call, apply the predefined CDPN variable:

Figure 30 — View of the IVR workspace

Completing routing configuration

To complete routing, open Routing manager application and in rules rule1 and rule3 adjust the corresponding routing results, and follow the steps below:

  • rule1: select the "external" sub-item in the Result section. In the Value field of the Directions table add the trunk created earlier, then save the rule .
  • rule3: select the "ivr" sub-item in the Result section. In the script field add the previously created ivr script, then save the rule and the context .

Initial system configuration via the command-line interface (CLI)


Adding media resources using the command-line interface (CLI)

Open CLI CoCon:

ecss1 password = password
ssh admin@localhost -p 8023

A media resource is a description of the media server parameters required for operation.

To use the media resource and establish connections, it is necessary to activate it in the media resource creation command: /system/media/resource/declare (parameter "is active"=true) or /system/media/resource/set (parameter "active"=true), if activation was not performed during creation. Activation can also be performed through the web interface, application - MSR network terminations (MSR-registrars).

declare

The command to declare a media server connection to ECSS-10.

To operate in preconfigured mode, one can pre-register media resources with known information.

To do this, it is necessary to create a description of known media servers with all parameters specified, allowing to start working with the media server immediately after its registration.

The command to create a media server configuration:

Command path:

/system/media/resource/declare

Syntax:

declare <node> by_contact <contact> <zone> <site> <is active>

or

declare <node> by_iface <msr> <acc_id> <iface> <zone> <site> <is active>

Parameters:

<node> — core node name;

<contact> — contact uri of the declared media resource;

<zone> — logical service zone of the MSR;

<site> — MSR service network identifier;

<is active> — media resource activity status, true/false values;

<msr> — MSR name;

<acc_id> — resource identifier number;

<iface> — interface name.

set

A command for changing media resource settings.

Command path:

/system/media/resource/set

Syntax:

Adding registrar control for MSR media manager in the Command Line Interface (CLI) CoCon


/system/media/registrar/ - regisrtrar control commands for the MSR media manager

set

A command for changing common and individual parameters.

Command path:

/system/media/registrar/set

Syntax for setting common parameters:

set common <FIELD> <VALUE>

Parameters:

<FIELD> — name of the parameter being configured;

<VALUE> — value of the parameter being configured

Where:

  • common — the type of parameter being set;
  • <common parameter> — a common media registrar parameter for all nodes: registration-timeout;
  • private — the type of parameter being set;
  • <node name> — the name of the node on which the media registrarresides;
  • <private parameter> — a media registrar parameter that is set on <node name>: is-active, listen-interface, and listen-port.

List of parameters available for configuration:

  • is-active — enables or disables the registrar (false - deactivates the registrar, the registrar stops receiving SIP traffic);
  • listen-interface — the name of the interface the registrar uses;

  • listen-port — the port on which the registrar accepts registration requests (default 5000);

  • registration-timeout — re-registration timer, range from 60 to 86400.

In the general settings you can set the registration time; by default it is 60 seconds.

Example:
Set the registration time to 60 seconds:

/system/media/registrar/set common registration-timeout 60
Common parameter registration-timeout set to 60.

Syntax for configuring individual parameters:

system/media/registrar/set private <CORE> <FIELD> <VALUE>

Parameters:

<CORE> — the core node for which the Registrar server is being configured;

<FIELD> — the name of the configurable parameter;

<VALUE> — the value of the configurable parameter.

Configurable parameters:

  • is-active — whether the Registrar server is active, true | false;
  • listen-ip — the IP address on which the Registrar server will accept connections (default 0.0.0.0);
  • listen-port — the network port on which the Registrar server will accept connections (default 5000).

Example:

Set the IP address for receiving connections from the media server:

in CoCon
/system/media/registrar/set private core1@ecss1 listen-ip 10.0.20.41

Result:

/system/media/registrar/set private core1@ecss1 listen-ip 10.0.20.41

In the example above, the nodes have started and the MSR have registered on the ecss-core node.

Creating and configuring a SIP IP address group (IP-set)

Configure the SIP adapter according to the specifications:

in CoCon
/cluster/adapter/sip1/sip/network/set ip_set test_set node-ip node = sip1@ecss1 ip = 10.0.20.41


in CoCon
/cluster/adapter/sip1/sip/network/set ip_set test_set listen-ports list = [5060]

Result:

/cluster/adapter/sip1/sip/network/set ip_set test_set node-ip node = sip1@ecss1 ip = 10.0.20.41
        
Property "ip_set" successfully changed from: 
    
        to
test_set: no ports set
test_set: sip1@ecss1 10.0.20.41
test_set: dscp 0.

/cluster/adapter/sip1/sip/network/set ip_set test_set listen-ports list = [5060]
Property "ip_set" successfully changed from:
test_set: no ports set
test_set: sip1@ecss1 10.0.20.41
test_set: dscp 0
        to
test_set: 5060
test_set: sip1@ecss1 10.0.20.41
test_set: dscp 0

Creating a domain and connecting an IP-set

Create a Domain (virtual PBX) and assign it the SIP adapter settings group (IP set) created above:

in CoCon
/domain/declare test_domain --add-domain-admin-privileges --add-domain-user-privileges
in CoCon
/domain/test_domain/sip/network/set ip_set [test_set]
/domain/declare test_domain --add-domain-admin-privileges --add-domain-user-privileges
New domain test_domain is declared


/domain/test_domain/sip/network/set ip_set [test_set]
Property "ip_set" successfully changed from: 
[]
   to
["test_set"].

After creating a domain, the system administrator should grant access to the Domain (virtual PBX) operator to manage services. To do this, use the "test_domain" command to allow the Domain (virtual PBX) operator to manage all services:

in CoCon
/cluster/storage/ds1/ss/access-list add test_domain *
/cluster/storage/ds1/ss/access-list add test_domain *
Supplementary services successfully added in the domain test_domain.

To enable subscribers to apply a service package immediately after creation, it is necessary to configure a licensed service package application policy.

Create a license application policy named "new_sub"

in CoCon user/pw = admin/password
/domain/test_domain/ss/licence/politics/declare new_sub "Set when creating a subscriber"
/domain/test_domain/ss/licence/politics/declare new_sub "Set when creating a subscriber"
Licence politic new_sub successfully declared.

To set the name of the additional services package, use the following commands:

in CoCon user/pw = admin/password
/cluster/storage/ds1/licence/show-licence 1

The following information is important:

/cluster/storage/ds1/licence/show-licence 1
SSW ID                                                < Name SSW ID >
Description                                           ECSS ELM License

. . .  

Supplementary Services licence package(s)             
 name                                                 'ECSS-ADV'
 limit                                                600000
 description                                          "The whole package of services"
 SS list                                              [1,2,3,4,5]
                                                      
. . .  

The service package name in this example is "ECSS-ADV".

Add the license service package named "ECSS-FULL+" (that's how it's described in the license) to the created policy:

in CoCon
/domain/test_domain/ss/licence/politics/package-add new_sub ECSS-ADV 

Result:

/domain/test_domain/ss/licence/politics/package-add new_sub ECSS-ADV 
Licence packages ["ECSS-ADV"] successfully added to politic new_sub.

The package has been added, but the policy is currently not active (cannot be applied to the subscriber). To activate the new_sub policy, run the following command:

in CoCon
/domain/test_domain/ss/licence/politics/activate new_sub
/domain/test_domain/ss/licence/politics/activate new_sub
Licence politic new_sub successfully activated.

Now we can use additional services when creating subscribers.
