H.248 Configuration

The simplest approach to configuring H.248 is to POST only attributes for which we want non-default values. The structure of the H.248 JSON object can be queried by getting the default values, explained later on on this page.

H.248 Stack addition

This example uses default values mostly, but for some attributes, we want specific values:

 POST /configurations/{CfgName}/h248_stacks {
 "***meta***" : {
   "version" : "2.9.10"
 },
 "advanced_parameters" : {
   "serialize_null_context_commands" : true
 },
 "enabled" : true,
 "naps" : [
   "NAP_TDM",
   "RTP_NAP"
 ],
 "timers" : {
   "local_response_timer" : "4 seconds"
 },
 "transport_protocol" : {
   "ip_interface" : "TB0999999.SIG",
   "public_ip_address" : "10.1.0.254",
   "use_ip_interface" : true
 }
 }

Here {CfgName} should be replaced by the name of your configuration. TB0999999.SIG is the IP interface name to use for the H.248 signalling trafic. This name must be globally unique, and therefore the Unit serial number must be prepended to the IP interface name in order to form a globally unique name.

 ip_interface = Unit.IpInterfaceName

For example, here the ip_interface name is TB0999999.SIG

Getting the default values

To add a H.248 to a new configuration, it might be helpful to get the default values first. This can be done with a GET with using new as element name under the h248_stacks collection. The attribute values from the returned JSON object can then be modified before submitting the new element using the POST method.

h248_tdm_terminations

Elements in h248_tdm_terminations collection are automatically added when linking NAPs to h248_gateway

 GET /configurations/{CfgName}/h248_stacks/h248_gateway
 ...
 "naps" : [
  "NAP_TDM",
  "RTP_NAP"
 ],
 ...

Here NAP_TDM is linked to h248_gateway, therefore E1/T1 trunks owned by that NAP will be populated in the h248_tdm_terminations collection.
