Administration, upgrades and maintenances

App sequence checklist

SM:
Home / Services / Inventory / Manage Elements
-Add CM element and synchronize

Home / Elements / Routing
-Add CM SIP Entity
-Add CM Entity Link
-Add CM Routing Policy
(Dial Patterns are not needed for SIP phones, but may be added towards CM for VM and SIP trunks)

Home / Elements / Session Manager / Application Configuration
-Add Application for CM. CM SIP Entity & CM Element added previously.
-Add Application Sequence with CM App as the only sequence.

Home / Users / User Management / Manage Users
-When adding a SIP user, Origination/Termination Sequence is set to CM App Sequence


CM:
If the SIP user was added correctly, a SIP station should also be added to CM.
Ch station xxxx (sip phone previously created in SM)
-pg6 SIP Trunk: AAR

ch trunk x (x= trunk group created for SM)
-Numbering Format=private

ch route x (x= route pattern added for SM)
-Group No = SIP trunk to SM that matches the SIP entity created in SM; FRL=0; Numbering Format=Lev0-pvt

ch aar analysis 0
-dial string created for sip extension range with route pattern created previously for SM and Call Type=lev0

ch private-numbering 0
-create Ext Code that matches the sip extension range

Items that are usually missed when setting up an Aura SIP phone environment are the last two.
