Supported Local Media Playback Capabilities

The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) can generate media locally based on end station signaling, local media playback configuration, and other E-SBC configuration.

Local media playback capabilities are dependent upon your choice of configuration method. Be aware of the few operational differences between these methods. Most new deployments use the ACLI-only method.

Deployments Configured with ACLI Only

The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) supports the following playback scenarios when configured with the ACLI only:
  • Playback on 180 Ringing
  • Playback on 180 Ringing when 180 does not include SDP
  • Playback on 183 Session Progress
  • Playback on REFER
  • Playback upon both 183 and REFER

You can also configure the E-SBC with HMR response code mapping on the SIP call egress side to map a 183 into a 180 response, thereby triggering playback on 180 Ringing. This requires that you map a 183 response into a 180 response, which then triggers playback.

Deployments Configured with SPL

The E-SBC supports the following playback scenarios when configured with SPL:
  • Playback on 183 Session Progress
  • Playback on REFER
  • Playback on header, where the header is P-Acme-Playback
The E-SBC does not support the following operations for local media playback when configured with SPL:
  • SRTP
  • Call recording
  • SIPREC
