34.2 Configuring IP-to-IP Outbound Manipulations
The IP to IP Outbound Manipulation table lets you configure up to 100 IP-to-IP Outbound
Manipulation rules. An IP-to-IP Outbound Manipulation rule defines a manipulation action
for the SIP Request-URI user part (source or destination) or calling name of outbound SIP
dialog requests. The IP-to-IP Outbound Manipulation rules can be applied to any SIP
request type (e.g., INVITE). Manipulated destination URI user part are done on the SIP
headers - Request URI, To, and Remote-Party-ID (if exists). Manipulated source URI user
part are done on the SIP headers - From, P-Asserted (if exists), P-Preferred (if exists), and
Remote-Party-ID (if exists).
The configuration of an IP-to-IP Outbound Manipulation rule includes two areas:
Rule: Defines the matching characteristics of an incoming SIP dialog (e.g., source
host name). As the device performs outbound manipulations only after the routing
process, destination IP Groups can also be used as matching characteristics.
Action: Defines the operation that must be done if the incoming call matches the
characteristics of the rule. In other words, the device manipulates the source or
destination SIP URI user part or calling name of the SIP dialog (e.g., removes a user-
defined number of characters from the left of the SIP URI user part).
Note:
SIP URI host name (source and destination) manipulations can also be
configured in the IP Group table. These manipulations are simply host name
substitutions with the names configured for the source and destination IP Groups,
respectively.
The following procedure describes how to configure IP-to-IP Outbound Manipulation rules
through the Web interface. You can also configure it through ini file
(IPOutboundManipulation).
To configure IP-to-IP outbound manipulation rules:
1. Open the IP to IP Outbound Manipulation table (Configuration tab > VoIP menu >
SBC > Manipulations SBC > IP-to-IP Outbound).
