IP Office and IP Office Contact Center Auto Synchronization


An auto synchronization facility is available from IP Office Contact Center 9.1.2 . This
facility simplifies the process of provisioning agents and short codes that are used by IP
Office Contact Center. When users are created in the IP Office they can automatically
be created as agents within IP Office Contact Center and vice versa.
In a similar manner when Access Codes are created in IP Office Contact Center,
corresponding short codes will be automatically created within the IP Office system.
In summary, the following objects are synchronized:
Users in IPO <-> Agents in IP Office Contact Center (synchronized both ways)
Short codes in IPO <- Access codes in IP Office Contact Center (Synchronized
when Access codes are created in IP Office Contact Center).
IP Office Contact Center Agents whose profiles have telephony (Tel) enabled will
be synced to the IP Office.

The Telephony (Tel) check will be disabled from an IP Office Contact Center
agent profile, if the corresponding User is deleted from the IP Office system or if
the User Type is changed to None in User Telephony Supervisor settings and
vice versa.

Use Cases of Synchronization


The following list summarizes the cases when synchronization does and does not take
place.
Upgrade from 9.0.3 or 9.1 to 9.1.6
All agents in IP Office Contact Center will be added to the IP Office with type set
to IP Office Contact Center Agent.
If the same agent/user already exist in the IP Office, the type of that agent will
be changed to IP Office Contact Center Agent and IP Office data of that agent
will prevail. IP office data will prevail and the corresponding agent
extension/Login code is Updated as per IP office System.

IP Office Contact Center Installation

05 2016

255

IP Office Contact Center Installation

Fresh installation of 9.1.6


All IP Office Contact Center agents and Access codes created through Data
Import/ Landing page will be added to the IP Office along with the chap/Contact
center user. In case Contact Center is already present in the IP Office, the
contact center user is updated with the CHAP extension of IP Office Contact
Center.
Sync service start up
The synchronization process gathers data from both systems.
Sync waits for around 5 minutes to start the sync operation with IP Office on
service startup
The IP Office is the master of User data and IP Office Contact Center is the
master of Short codes.
All new agents created in IP Office Contact Center will be added to the IP Office
system and vice versa.
If there are any discrepancies or conflicts in data during startup, the IP Office
data will prevail.
Sync service up and running
Both the IP Office Contact Center and IP Office system are equally treated when
the synchronization service is running.
Adding a non IP Office agent in IP Office or adding non Telephony Agent in IP Office
Contact Center.
Synchronization does not have any impact
Restart of Synchronization service from the Windows service panel
Behavior same as Synchronization startup.
The IP Office will be the master of user data and IP Office Contact Center for
short codes
Disable Synchronization Service through Delete button in User Interface
Synchronization will ignore all the changes in both systems from that moment
When starting Synchronization again, the configuration details have to be
manually reentered
Network Disconnection from the IP Office
The Synchronization service will automatically restart if the disconnection occurs
for more than 60 seconds.
Once restarted the behavior will follow the same pattern as during
Synchronization startup.
User with Telephone enabled added in IP Office Contact Center
Creates IP Office Contact Center type agent in the IP Office with extension,
login code and user rights.
Creates an extension entry in the Telephone tab of the IP Office Contact Center
User Interface.
User with IP Office Contact Center agent type added in IP Office

IP Office Contact Center Installation

05 2016

256

IP Office Contact Center Installation

Creates an agent in IP Office Contact Center or enables the Telephone feature


for that IP Office Contact Center agent, if the agent already exists.
Creates an extension entry in the Telephone tab of IP Office Contact Center
User Interface.

Access code added in IP Office Contact Center


Corresponding short code is added in the IP Office
Access code deleted in IP Office Contact Center
Synchronization does not delete the short code in IP Office
Access code updated in IP Office
Synchronization will create the new access code, but will not delete the existing
short code. All IP Office Contact Center short codes deleted accidentally from IP
Office will be recreated in IP Office Contact Center by Synchronization during
next polling.
IP Office Contact Center Short codes added in IP Office
Synchronization will not have any impact, as short code Synchronization is one
way
User creation when IP Office is down/ IP Office denies the requested user
synchronization operation
Synchronization will not allow user creation in IP Office Contact Center, if it is not
able to complete the Synchronization in IP Office
This is applicable only if we create the user from IP Office Contact Center, i.e. it
is not applicable if the user is created in the IP Office.
Similarly Synchronization will prohibit the deletion of a Telephone, if that number
is assigned to an Agent within Agent tab
An Error will be shown in Administrators User Interface
Access code creation when IP Office is down
Synchronization will not deny access code creation, as short code
synchronization is completed through polling as per synchronization interval and
not in real time.

Auto Sync Rules
Maximum 9 numbers

Short code synchronization is only one way from the IP Office Contact Center to
the IP Office.

Depending on the PBX type (IP Office 500V2 or Server Edition) the
synchronization time will vary.

User should be created by following the rules applicable to both applications.

Server Edition Solutions A separate Web Service User should be created on


the Primary Server. When a Synchronize Security Database is completed from
Web Manager by clicking the Synchronize Service User and System
Password button, web service users will be created on all IP Office nodes in the
solution.

IP Office Contact Center Installation

05 2016

258

IP Office Contact Center Installation

When an IP Office Server Edition solution contains Expansion units, all IP Office
Contact Center users created through synchronization will reside on the Primary
Server Edition.

All expansion unit passwords must be synchronized with the primary server
otherwise the users from the expansion will not be in sync. This can be
automatically achieved through Synchronize Service User and System
password.

Short codes will not be deleted from the IP Office in any case, even if a customer
deletes the corresponding access code from the IP Office Contact Center.

A separate web service user should be created to avoid the risk of the
Administrator user account being locked.

When loss of connectivity with the IP Office occurs, the synchronization service
will restart synchronization operations only when the disconnection periods
exceed 60 seconds.

IP Office Contact Center Installation

05 2016

259

IP Office Contact Center Installation

Rules of Synchronization
The IP Office is master of the data (name, number and password), apart from the short
codes where the IP Office Contact Center is the master. New or changed short codes
for topics are always copied to IP Office. When short codes are deleted in IP Office
Contact Center they are never deleted from the IP Office.
Note: When exchanging extension numbers from one user to another, this process
should be completed by removing both extensions first. Then saving the configuration
and updating it again with the new Extensions. This configuration should be completed
in the IP Office and the IP Office Contact Center will be updated after 90 seconds.
Information:
Telephone numbers in IP Office Contact Center are necessary to start monitoring users
in IP Office Taskserver.
For newly created users in the IP Office, the IP Office Contact Center uses the same
configuration data as detailed in the Configuration spreadsheet (i.e. Profile, User rights).
The data is created or modified in IP Office Contact Center:

interval. For Server edition, user synchronization is almost instantaneous both-ways
and only access code Synchronization from IP Office Contact Center is dependent on
Sync interval. Therefore if IP Office Server Edition is used, it is advisable to keep a
higher Sync interval, as Access codes are not frequently changed and do not require
the default synchronization of 2 minutes.

How Auto Synchronisation works when creating a New


Agent/Supervisor in IP Office Manager
With the New Auto Synchronisation feature. You can create a new Agent in the IP
Office using IP Office Manager or IP Office Contact Center. When the details for the
Agent are entered in either, an Auto Synchronization takes place and copies the details
over to the other system.
Creating a New Agent in IP Office Manager.
1. When creating a New Agent/Supervisor the following fields are used.
A. Agent/Supervisor Name.
B. The Logon Password for the IP Office Contact Center Client. This
password is the login code in IP Office. Not the user password.
This password is synced as IP Office Contact Center client login password only when
the user is created in IP Office for first time. It is not synced after that.
C. The Extension number of the Agent/Supervisor.
Note: The Number is used for the Auto sync function and must be defined. Agents are
still able to use any Extension number for which they have authorization.

IP Office Contact Center Installation

IP Office Contact Center Installation

Note: Do not mark any User (Agent) as Ex Directory.

Note: The Full Name setting is also synchronised to IP Office with the Telephone name
of the Agent in IP Office Contact Center, if the agent is created in IP Office Contact
Center.

IP Office Contact Center Installation

3. Save the Configuration.

4. The Auto synchronisation will now create a new Agent in the IP Office Contact
Center.
5. The reverse can also take place if the New Agent/Supervisor is created in the IP
Office Contact Center. The auto synchronisation will create a new
Agent/Supervisor in the IP Office.
Note: Short codes should be consolidated to the solution level of IP Office Server
Edition. This process is completed through settings within IP Office Manager/Web
Manager. This will ensure that short codes are available at all systems in the solution
i.e. primary, secondary as well as expansion systems.

Note: The individual elements within the default Call Flow may require additional
configuration before they can be utilised to meet the customers specific requirements.

IP Office Contact Center Installation

05 2016

306

IP Office Contact Center Installation

The Call Flow comprises of the following Elements:


1. Telephones calls element

By double clicking on the Telephone Calls element, the Topic to which this Element will
be applied can be selected. In its default state, the call flow can direct an incoming call
to Topic 1.

2. A Logic element.

IP Office Contact Center Installation

05 2016

307

IP Office Contact Center Installation

The Telephone calls element is linked to a Logic element. A logic element can be used
to apply a logical condition to a step within the call flow. For example, it can be used to
test a Logic against a configured block time period. This will determine whether an out
of office message is played to callers when the Logic condition is satisfied, as defined
by the 1 in the condition. The call flow would therefore continue through the Elements
Y exit point. If the Logic condition is not met the call flow is directed through the
elements N exit point where it is linked to an addition Logic element labelled as a
Holiday.
3. An Announcement script element.

An Announcement script element can be used in conjunction with previously recorded


announcements. The recorded announcement is then assigned to the announcement
script element that can be referenced in the call flow. Within the default call flow, the
announcement script is reached when the Block Time elements condition is met.
4. A Logic element

IP Office Contact Center Installation

05 2016

308

IP Office Contact Center Installation

This Logic element can be used to determine whether there is a holiday as defined by a
configured Time off period. If the Logic condition is satisfied, as defined by the Time
specific Holiday key word, the call flow is directed to the announcement script as
previously discussed. If the Logic condition is not satisfied, the call flow is directed to
the T1 Task Trap.
5. A Task Trap element

The Task Trap will ensure that any waiting call will remain in the call flow when the out
of office period commences, as defined by a configured Block Period. For example, if
the block period is defined so that the office closes at 5:30pm, any call that is routed
through the call flow at 5:29 will remain and queue in the call flow.
6. A Prioritised Distributor element

IP Office Contact Center Installation

05 2016

309

IP Office Contact Center Installation

This element allows the calls within the call flow to be distributed in a prioritized manner.
In the default call flow, the first priority is to direct the call to a defined Personal
Contact. The second priority will direct the call to the Last Agent who previously spoke
to this caller. The third priority will direct the call to a Logic element. This will determine
if the call should be directed to an agent group, on the condition that there is a free
agent available to which the call can be directed.
7. A Personal Contact element

This element links to a configured customer record within IP Office Contact Center.

8. A Last Agent element.


IP Office Contact Center Installation

05 2016

310

IP Office Contact Center Installation

This element determines whether the last agent the customer spoke to on a previous
call, is available to take the customers new call. From the Topics Telephony tab, the
Routing can be selected and a Hold Duration can be defined, that will determine the
period of time the system will attempt to contact the last agent, before moving to the
next point in the call flow.

9. A Logic element

IP Office Contact Center Installation

05 2016

311

IP Office Contact Center Installation

This Logic element determines whether any agents are available and free to take a call
and if so, the call is then directed by the Y exit to Agent Group 1. If the condition
defined in the key word is not satisfied, the caller is directed to a New Task Element.
10. An Agent Group element

IP Office Contact Center Installation

05 2016

312

IP Office Contact Center Installation

If the condition of the Logic element determines that there are free agents available to
take the call, the call flow routes the call to Agent Group 1. The agent group must be
assigned with the agents who will be presented with Contact Center calls.
11. A New Task element

If the logic element determines that no agents are free, the call flow is directed to a new
task element that has a defined Task Condition. When the condition is satisfied the call
flow is directed to a Queue Full element. If not, the call flow is directed to an
announcement script that contains a recorded wait announcement.
12. A Queue Full element

IP Office Contact Center Installation

IP Office Contact Center Installation

The Queue full element is used in conjunction with a configured Queue factor set
against a defined agent group. This will determine how many callers can queue based
upon the number of agents in the group and the assigned Agent Groups queue factor.

For example, a queue factor of 2 with 2 agents logged in would determine that 4 calls
can queue (2x2). In the default call flow, queued calls as determined by the queue
factor limit, are directed to an announcement script and a recorded wait message is
played to the caller. Additional calls beyond the limitation as defined by the queue factor
are directed to a drop element.
13. A Drop element

In this example, any calls that are presented beyond the limitation of the agents groups
configured queue factor and associated Queue Full element will be dropped.

14. An announcement Script element

The announcement script will contain a recorded message. In this example a Wait
message played to queuing callers.
Note: The above definitions and descriptions of the default call flow are for guidance
only. The call flow will require amendment to reflect the individual customers call
routing/call flow requirements.
15. The call flow will require amending to reflect the customers own requirements.
The call flow can then be tested by dialling the Topic number for example, for
Topic 1 dial 701.

For further details relating to the configuration of Task Flows, please refer to the IP
Office Contact Center Task Flow Editor - Telephony Task Based Guide.

Deploying IP Office Contact Center Chrome User Interface


IP Office Contact Center Chrome User Interface is a Chrome packaged application
designed and developed for use with Chromebooks, Chromeboxes and Chromebases.
The IP Office Contact Center Chrome User Interface application can be downloaded
from Googles Chrome Web Store.
Note: A Supervisor using IP Office Contact Center User Interface can only have a
maximum total of 25 Agents in the combined groups that they are authorized for

WebRTC
The application itself can use its own integrated phone via Web RTC. Therefore
eliminating the requirement to have an associated, separate handset.
Up to 250 agents can use the IP Office Contact Center User Interface application
simultaneously (with or without WebRTC telephony).
For systems with less than 30 agents connected to an IP Office P500v2, WebRTC
support is available via the use of an Application Server. For Server Edition systems,
there is no need for additional servers for WebRTC support.
Note: To use the WebRTC on the IP Office Contact Center User Interface you need to
access the application with HTTPS (Port 28443) and not HTTP.

WebRTC Limitations
All WebRTC SIP extensions MUST be defined on the Primary Server when a Primary
Server is part of the topology (none on Secondary Server, IP500V2 Expansion or Linux
Expansion).
Server Edition Primary Server - LAN1 of the Server Edition Server should be used as
the interface for WebRTC calls or when using the IP Office Contact Center User
Interface application as the interface into the IP Office Server Edition solution.
Note: Avaya does support the IP500V2 with WebRTC enabled on an Application
Server. Avaya does not support Resiliency (Primary -> Secondary) automatically.

IP Office Contact Center Installation

If WebRTC is to be utilized, ensure that the WebRTC Gateway service is started


automatically on the IP Office Server/Application server.

Group Mapping Requirement


A Topic should always have 1:1 mapping with an Agent Group. Multiple topics being
mapped to an Agent Group is not valid as it will cause the Real time monitoring of
Groups in Chrome app/Web app to show incorrect data.
For E-mail only and Chat only topic, it is required to enable Telephony channel for the
default Topic to Agent Group mapping to exist (since this mapping is under the
Telephony tab in Topic configuration). This mapping is required for Real time monitoring
of Groups to work in Chrome app/Web app.
Without this mapping, the real time counters for the E-mail or Chat Topic will NOT be
displayed against any Group in Real time monitoring in Chrome app/Web app.
Topic and agent group mapping must match the mapping in the task flow for the
telephony, email, and chat channels. For example, if you create a new topic with
telephony, chat, and email enabled, this topic must be mapped to a specific agent
group. You must also enable the appropriate channels (in this case, telephony, chat,
and email) in the agent group. The task flow of all channels for the topic must map to
this agent group only. In case the Topic is mapped to a different agent group in the task
flow, it will cause the real time monitoring statistics for the Topic to be displayed against
incorrect agent group in Chrome app/Web app.

Scope of services
The ICI Connector provides the Telephony interface for IP Office Contact Center
agents.
Note: there is a differentiation between the SAP terms Queue and Agent Group and
the IP Contact Center Contact Center terms Topic and Agent Group.
A SAP user can logon/off from a group in the SAP interface. This simulates a logon/-off
from queues, as Topics in the Contact Center have an agent group assigned by default.
IP Office Contact Center Topics numbers are configured in SAP and calls can be routed
via Queue Presence Information in the corresponding Topics.

The Text blocks are contained within the file ICIConnector.lng which are loaded by the
ICI Connector.
The following languages are supported:

DE (German)
EN (English)

Settings for Telephony devices


The devices used should be configured in Contact Center.

Call number normalization


Incoming numbers
Call numbers transferred to SAP have to be in the canonical format. For example, for a
German location the following data has to be configured.
TelInternalDevLength (length of internal extension)
e.g. 5 (four-digit extension, five-digit topic number)
TelNumberHead (line number)
e.g. 2392 Avaya (Hamburg)
TelAreaCode (prefix)
e.g. 40 Hamburg
TelCountryCode (country code)
e.g. 49 Deutschland
InboundSubstRules
e.g. 0049;49;000;;049;49;
For an internal extension of an agent for example 4711 494023924711 is transferred to
SAP (see configuration of TelInternalNumberExtensionEnabled).

IP Office Contact Center Installation

393

IP Office Contact Center Installation

External Call Numbers


External call numbers have to be transferred in canonical format by IPO.
For example 069 7505 4711 (call number Avaya Frankfurt) has to be 49 69 7505 4711
from IPO.
External call numbers can be adapted by configuring InboundSubstRules.
When the call number presented from the IP Office is 00049403924711 by using 00;;0;;
it can be converted in 49403924711.

Dialing from SAP


To dial correctly from SAP (Dial, Consult) following data have to be configured.
TelInternationalCallMinLength (minimal length of international call numbers)
For example 11
TelInternalDevLength
For example 5
TelCountryPrefix (international prefix)
For example 00
TelAreaPrefix (national prefix)
For example 0
TelOutSideLineAcces (external access code)
For example 0

The general process of call number normalization:


For the call numbers to dial the outbound subst rules and the TelInternalDeviceLength
are used.
a) Internal number
SAP GUI DialPad input +12345
Check on internal call number (length <= TelInternalDeviceLength=5)
Yes, no further action
=> 12345 is dialed

b) Local area (without area code)


SAP GUI DialPad input +012345
Check on internal call number (length <= TelInternalDeviceLength=5)
No
OutboundSubstRules
No match, number is unchanged
-> 012345 is dialed

c) National call number


DialPad input +005715049208
IP Office Contact Center Installation

05 2016

395

IP Office Contact Center Installation

Check on internal call number (length <= TelInternalDeviceLength =5)


No
OutboundSubstRules
No match, number is unchanged
-> 005715049208 is dialed

2) national call number (to own local area)


DialPad input +004012345678
Check on internal call number (length <= TelInternalDeviceLength=5)
No
OutboundSubstRules
No match, number is unchanged
-> 004012345678 is dialed
d) International call number
DialPad input 000 41 44 878 14 14 (Switzerland)
Check on internal call number (length <= TelInternalDeviceLength=5)
No
OutboundSubstRules
No match, number is unchanged
-> 000 41 44 878 14 14 is dialed

IP Office Contact Center Installation

05 2016

396

IP Office Contact Center Installation

This means as rules for user in DialPad of SAP GUI:


Internal call number: without external access code
Local area number: with external access code e.g. prefix 0
National call number: (also to local area with prefix of local area) with external access
code + 0 so with leading 00
International call number: with leadingr 000
Call numbers directly from SAP database are always in format + 41 44 878 14 14
(Avaya CH)
For this call numbers by OutboundSubstRules always 000 is the prefix (4=> 0004)
A German call number +49402392 4711 is dialed as 0040 2392 4711 (49=>00).

Salesforce
Introduction
The IP Office Contact Center Salesforce Application (ISA) integrates the Salesforce
CRM Application with IP Office Contact Center. By using ISA, contact center agents can
use the Salesforce CRM application as their primary user interface. Therefore an agent
can handle voice calls, even if there is no IP Office Contact Center User interface
installed on the agents desktop.
ISA will be installed and configured on Salesforce, while CRM Connector is installed
and configured on the IP Office Contact Center Server. The agent will access the
Salesforce CRM application via their web browser. ISA can be deployed as a Console
App, or as a standard App.
Note: Some features such as screen popping, are not supported in standard mode.
Additionally, the standard mode app has limitations, therefore ISA should be deployed
in Console mode only.

o Phone and email id will automatically be updated from contact
o Duration (in seconds)
o Call Type
Call Logs will always be displayed in the activity history of the contact.

object in Salesforce. Salesforce will only have information related to the current
User/Agent.

Known Issues:
IP Office Contact Center Installation

05 2016

469

IP Office Contact Center Installation

After screen pop occurs, Salesforce doesnt relinquish User Interface control to IP
Office Contact Center Salesforce App. Consequently the Agent is not able to type
anything in ISA dial pad. The workaround is that the Agent needs to click once in
Salesforce area, and then click on ISA.

Troubleshooting the CRM Connector


In case of unexpected behavior in the Salesforce Application, please supply the log files
listed below to Avaya Support:
.
CRM Connector logs in IP Office Contact Center TTrace
Browser Console: This is a debugging display that is part of the users browser.
To obtain the log from the Browser Console, the browsers debugging tools will have to
be invoked. (This can be achieved in both Firefox and Chrome by pressing F12).
Once the debugging tools are displayed, use the tools to select the Console display.
Recreate the issue while the Console is displayed. When you have finished recreating
the issue, highlight the entire contents of the Console display and send the log entries
to Avaya Application Support.
Other Troubleshooting Considerations
A User cannot logout or change their agent state from Available to Break time,
when a call is in progress.

If a user is logged into the ISA App User Interface and is logged off from the
Telephony via Supervisor console or Agent console of the Contact Center User
Interface, the user will automatically be logged off from ISA App User Interface.
The following message is displayed: "Agent was logged off via Supervisor
console or via external endpoint."

If a user is logged off from the ISA App User Interface, the user is also logged off
from the Telephony in the Contact Center User Interface.
If a user is logged into the ISA App User Interface and is in idle state for a period
of 60 minutes, then session timeout occurs from the CRM Connector. In this

IP Office Contact Center Installation

05 2016

472

IP Office Contact Center Installation

case, the user is automatically logged off the User Interface and the following
message is displayed: "IPOCC Server session timed out for the logged in Agent."
If a user is logged into the ISA App User Interface and the network connection is
lost and they then attempt to use the interface for example, to dial a number, the
user is automatically logged out of the user Interface and the following message
is displayed: "Connection to IPOCC Server was closed or lost unexpectedly".
o A user will only receive a connection lost message when they perform an
operation via the interface, as the web socket connection is alive and
remains so for a long period, believing that connection will be restored.
Therefore the App is not notified of the loss of connection, until a request
is sent to server.
If the CRMConnector is already installed and the IP Office Contact Center Server
is upgraded, the CRMConnector will not be upgraded. The CRMConnector
would therefore require to be manually upgraded in a similar manner to a fresh
installation.

Overview of TCP/IP Ports


What are ports and how are they used?
TCP and UDP use ports (defined at http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers) to
route traffic arriving at a particular IP device to the correct upper layer application.
These ports are logical descriptors (numbers) that help devices multiplex and demultiplex information streams. Consider your desktop PC. Multiple applications may be
simultaneously receiving information. In this example, email may use destination TCP
port 25, a browser may use destination TCP port 80 and a telnet session may use
destination TCP port 23. These logical ports allow the PC to de-multiplex a single
incoming serial data packet stream into three mini-streams inside the PC. Furthermore,
each of the mini-streams is directed to the correct high-level application because the
port numbers identify which application each data mini-stream belongs. Every IP
device has incoming (Ingress) and outgoing (Egress) data streams.
Ports are used in TCP and UDP to name the ends of logical connections which carry
data flows. TCP and UDP streams have an IP address and port number for both
source and destination IP devices. The pairing of an IP address and a port number is
called a socket (discussed later). Therefore, each data stream is uniquely identified
with two sockets. Source and destination sockets must be known by the source before
a data stream can be sent to the destination. Some destination ports are open to
receive data streams and are called listening ports. Listening ports actively wait for a
source (client) to make contact to a destination (server) using a specific port that has a
known protocol associate with that port number. HTTPS, as an example, is assigned
port number 443. When a destination IP device is contacted by a source device using
port 443, the destination uses the HTTPS protocol for that data stream conversation.
Port Type Ranges
Port numbers are divided into three ranges: Well Known Ports, Registered Ports, and
Dynamic Ports (sometimes called Private Ports).
Well Known Ports are those numbered from 0 through 1023.
Registered Ports are those numbered from 1024 through 49151
Dynamic Ports are those numbered from 49152 through 65535
The Well Known and Registered ports are assigned by IANA (Internet Assigned
Numbers Authority) and are found here: http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers.
Well Known Ports
For the purpose of providing services to unknown clients, a service listen port is
defined. This port is used by the server process as its listen port. Common services
often use listen ports in the well known port range. A well known port is normally active
meaning that it is listening for any traffic destined for a specific application. For
example, well known port 23 on a server is actively waiting for a data source to contact
the server IP address using this port number to establish a Telnet session. Well known
port 25 is waiting for an email session, etc. These ports are tied to a well understood
application and range from 0 to 1023.

IP Office Contact Center Installation

Registered Ports
Unlike well known ports, these ports are not restricted to the root user. Less common
services register ports in this range. Avaya uses ports in this range for call control.
Some, but not all, ports used by Avaya in this range include: 1719/1720 for H.323,
5060/5061 for SIP, 2944 for H.248 and others. The registered port range is 1024
49151. Even though a port is registered with an application name, industry often uses
these ports for different applications. Conflicts can occur in an enterprise when a port
with one meaning is used by two servers with different meanings.
Dynamic Ports
Dynamic ports, sometimes called private ports, are available to use for any general
purpose. This means there are no meanings associated with these ports (similar to
RFC 1918 IP Address Usage). These are the safest ports to use because no
application types are linked to these ports. The dynamic port range is 49152 65535.
Sockets
A socket is the pairing of an IP address with a port number. An example would be
192.168.5.17:3009, where 3009 is the socket number associated with the IP address.
A data flow, or conversation, requires two sockets one at the source device and one
at the destination device. The data flow then has two sockets with a total of four logical
elements. Each data flow must be unique. If one of the four elements is unique, the
data flow is unique. The following three data flows are uniquely identified by socket
number and/or IP address.
Data Flow 1:
Data Flow 2:
Data Flow 3:

172.16.16.14:1234
172.16.16.14.1235
172.16.16.14:1234

10.1.2.3:2345
10.1.2.3:2345
10.1.2.4:2345

Data flow 1 has two different port numbers and two different IP addresses and is a valid
and typical socket pair.
Data flow 2 has the same IP addresses and the same port number on the second IP
address as data flow 1, but since the port number on the first socket differs, the data
flow is unique.
Therefore, if one IP address octet changes, or one port number changes, the data flow
is unique.

server
Notice the client egress stream includes the clients source IP and socket (1369) and
the destination IP and socket (80). The ingress stream has the source and destination
information reversed because the ingress is coming from the server.
Understanding Firewall Types and Policy Creation
Firewall Types
There are three basic firewall types:

Packet Filtering

Application Level Gateways (Proxy Servers)

Hybrid (Stateful Inspection)


Packet Filtering is the most basic form of the firewalls. Each packet that arrives or
leaves the network has its header fields examined against criterion to either drop the
packet or let it through. Routers configured with Access Control Lists (ACL) use packet
filtering. An example of packet filtering is preventing any source device on the
Engineering subnet to telnet into any device in the Accounting subnet.
Application level gateways (ALG) act as a proxy, preventing a direct connection
between the foreign device and the internal destination device. ALGs filter each
individual packet rather than blindly copying bytes. ALGs can also send alerts via
email, alarms or other methods and keep log files to track significant events.
Hybrid firewalls are dynamic systems, tracking each connection traversing all interfaces
of the firewall and making sure they are valid. In addition to looking at headers, the
content of the packet, up through the application layer, is examined. A stateful
inspection firewall also monitors the state of the connection and compiles the
information in a state table. Stateful inspection firewalls close off ports until the
connection to the specific port is requested. This is an enhancement to security against
port scanning (1).
The act of systematically scanning a computer's ports. Since a port is a place where
information goes into and out of a computer, port scanning identifies open doors to a
computer. Port scanning has legitimate uses in managing networks, but port scanning
also can be malicious in nature if someone is looking for a weakened access point to
break into your computer
(1).

Firewall Policies
The goals of firewall policies are to monitor, authorize and log data flows and events.
They also restrict access using IP addresses, port numbers and application types and
sub-types.
This paper is focused with identifying the port numbers used by Avaya products so
effective firewall policies can be created without disrupting business communications or
opening unnecessary access into the network.
Knowing that the source column in the following matrices is the socket initiator is key in
building some types of firewall policies. Some firewalls can be configured to
automatically create a return path through the firewall if the initiating source is allowed
IP Office Contact Center Installation

05 2016

IP Office Contact Center Installation

through. This option removes the need to enter two firewall rules, one for each stream
direction, but can also raise security concerns.
Another feature of some firewalls is to create an umbrella policy that allows access for
many independent data flows using a common higher layer attribute. Finally, many
firewall policies can be avoided by placing endpoints and the servers that serve those
endpoints in the same firewall zone.
