Version 7.2 975 Mediant 500L Gateway & E-SBC
User's Manual 62. Enabling SIP Call Flow Diagrams in OVOC
62 Enabling SIP Call Flow Diagrams in OVOC
You can configure the device to send SIP messages of SIP call dialogs to AudioCodes
One Voice Operations Centers (OVOC) so that OVOC management users can view the
call dialog as a call flow in graphical format. OVOC displays the call flow using vertical and
horizontal lines where the vertical lines represent the SIP entities (including the device
itself) involved in the dialog and where the horizontal lines represent the SIP requests and
responses.
SIP call flow diagrams may be useful for debugging and for better understanding of the SIP
call. The call flow displays all the SIP messages related to the call session, including
requests (e.g., INVITEs) and responses (e.g., 200 OK). For SBC calls, the call flow reflects
messages as sent "over the wire" - incoming messages before manipulation and outgoing
messages after manipulation. For Gateway calls, the call flow reflects incoming messages
after Pre-Parsing Manipulation (if configured) but before general Message Manipulation,
and outgoing messages after manipulation.
To configure SIP call flow support:
1. Enable the call flow feature:
a. Open the OVOC page (Setup menu > Signaling & Media tab > Media folder >
Quality of Experience > OVOC).
b. From the 'Call Flow Report Mode' drop-down list, select Enable.
c. Click Apply.
d. Reset the device with a save-to-flash for your settings to take effect.
2. If you want to send call flow messages for specific calls only (e.g., for a specific IP
Group), then configure a Log Filter rule:
a. Open the Logging Filters table (see Configuring Log Filter Rules on page 953).
b. Click New to add a new rule, and then configure the rule as desired, but with the
following parameters settings:
♦ 'Log Destination': Call Flow Server
♦ 'Log Type': Call Flow
c. Click Apply.
If the Logging Filters table does not include any filtering rule for SIP call flow, the device
sends call flow messages to OVOC for all calls.
