IWF Ringback Support

When interworking SIP and H.323 to a gateway, PSTN gateway, or other endpoint, the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller uses the mappings shown in the table below. The absence or presence of SDP in the SIP provisional message determines whether the tones are generated in-band or locally.

For each of the mappings listed in the following table, this section provides a sample call flow.

SIP Message H.323 Message
No Message CallProceeding
No Message Progress without PI
183 with SDP Progress with PI
180 w/o SDP Alert without PI
180 with SDP Alert with PI

In the following diagram, a call that requires the IWF passes through the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller twice, creating two call legs. The call originates from H.323 GW1 and terminates in Phone 1 or Phone 2.
