How to Configure the H.248-based Voice Service?

A remote Huawei ONT (EG8141A5, HG8546M…) can be connected to the Huawei OLT (MA5608T, MA5683T, MA5800 X7…) through a GPON port to provide users with the IP-based high-quality and low-cost VoIP service. In this article, we take MA5683T and EG8141A5 as examples to introduce how to configure the H.248-based Voice Service.

Prerequisites

The interface data and POTS user configuration data corresponding to the MG interface have been configured on the MGC.

The MA5683T has been connected to the MGC. The MA5683T can ping the IP address of the MGC server successfully.

The EG8141A5 has been added to the MA5683T. Different voice services require different ONT software versions. Before the configuration, ensure that the current ONT software version supports H.248.

Data Plan

Item Data
ONT line profile Profile name: ftth
T-CONT ID: 4
GEM port ID: 12
VLAN plan Single VLAN tag:

  • VLAN ID: 300
  • VLAN type: smart
  • VLAN attribute: common
  • CVLAN=SVLAN

VLAN translation policy:

  • ONT: VLANs are configured for the ONTs on the same network in a unified manner, and the ONTs have the same C-VLAN. The ONT adds a C-VLAN tag to packets.
  • OLT: transparently transmits the VLAN.
Voice parameter IP address of the MGC server: 200.200.200.200/24
Port ID of the MGC server: 2944
MG Domain: 0100000001 or 0100000002

Procedure

Configure the MA5683T.

1.Configure a traffic profile.

Run the display traffic table ip command to query the existing traffic profiles in the system. If the existing traffic profiles in the system do not meet the requirements, run the traffic table ip command to add a traffic profile.

Set the profile name to ftth_voip and do not limit the upstream and downstream rates. Set the priority to 5 and packets are scheduled according to the priority carried.

huawei(config)#traffic table ip name ftth_voip cir off priority 5 priority-policy
local-setting

2.Configure the mapping relationship between a GEM port and a VLAN.

The service flow of user VLAN 300 is mapped to GEM port 12 in the ONT line profile.

huawei(config)#ont-lineprofile gpon profile-name ftth
huawei(config-gpon-lineprofile-1)#gem mapping 12 2 vlan 300
huawei(config-gpon-lineprofile-1)#commit
huawei(config-gpon-lineprofile-1)#quit

3.Create a service VLAN and add an upstream port to it.

Add upstream port 0/19/0 to VLAN 300.

huawei(config)#vlan 300 smart
huawei(config)#port vlan 300 0/19 0

4.Create service flows.

Set the service VLAN to 300, GEM port ID to 12, and user VLAN to 300, and use traffic profile ftth_voip.

huawei(config)#service-port vlan 300 gpon 0/1/0 ont 1 gemport 12 multi-service
user-vlan 300 inbound traffic-table name ftth_voip outbound traffic-table name
ftth_voip
huawei(config)#service-port vlan 300 gpon 0/1/0 ont 2 gemport 12 multi-service
user-vlan 300 inbound traffic-table name ftth_voip outbound traffic-table name
ftth_voip

5. Enable the ARP proxy function.

Voice media streams for different users of the same SVLAN fail to interchange because the service ports of the smart VLAN are isolated from each other. Therefore, the ARP proxy function needs to be enabled on the MA5683T.

huawei(config)#arp proxy enable
huawei(config)#interface vlanif 300
huawei(config-if-vlanif300)#arp proxy enable
huawei(config-if-vlanif300)#quit
Save the data.
huawei(config)#save

Configure the EG8141A5 on the Web page.

Log in to the Web page and then configure the EG8141A5 on the Web page.

1. Configure the IP address of the PC network adapter to be in the same network segment with the IP address of the local maintenance Ethernet port on the EG8141A5 (default: 192.168.100.1).

2.Open the Web browser and enter the IP address (https://192.168.100.1:80 or http://192.168.100.1) (https with high priority is recommended) of the local maintenance Ethernet port on the EG8141A5. In the login window that is displayed, enter the users name (default: telecomadmin) and password (default: admintelecom) of the administrator. After the password is authenticated, the web configuration window is displayed.

 

NOTE:

The following configuration procedure is for scenarios with the bridging ONT. For scenarios with the bridging ONT+HGW, configure the voice service on the HGW but not on the ONT. For detailed configurations, see the HGW Configuration Guide.

Figure 1 Bridging ONT+HGW

The Web page for configuring ONT varies with ONT versions, but the parameter configuration is the same. For details, see relevant ONT manuals.

1.Configure the voice protocol.

NOTE:

The default voice protocol is SIP. Therefore, change the voice protocol first.

2.Configure parameters for the voice WAN interface.

3.Configure parameters for the H.248-based voice interface.

NOTE:

The parameters of the H.248-based voice interface must be consistent with the corresponding configuration on the media gateway controller (MGC).

If dual-homing is configured, Address of the Standby MGC must be configured.

MID Format can be set to Domain Name, IP, or Device Name. If MID Format is set to Domain Name or Device Name, the setting must be consistent with the corresponding configuration on the MGC.

MG Domain is ONT’s domain name registered with the MGC. It is globally unique.

MG Domain in this example is EG8141A5’s password. If Media Port is empty, the parameter value is the same as Signaling Port. The media streams are not isolated from signaling streams.

If the upper-layer network requires isolation of media streams from signaling streams, create different traffic streams for the media streams and signaling streams on the OLT, create different WAN ports on the ONT, and bind the created WAN ports to Media Port and Signaling Port.

When the packet is forwarded from two WAN ports, the configured VLAN is carried by default. When the EG8141A5 is interconnected with a third-party soft switch, check RTP TID Prefix, Start Number of RTP TID, and Width of RTP TID Number.

4.Check the registration status of the voice user.

NOTE:

The following configuration procedure is for scenarios with the bridging ONT. For scenarios with the bridging ONT+HGW, configure the voice service on the HGW but not on the ONT.

The window for configuring ONT value-added service (VAS) profiles varies with ONT versions, but the parameter configuration is the same.

1.Configure and bind a general value-added service (VAS) profile for the EG8141A5.

NOTE:

If the upper-layer network requires isolation of media streams from signaling streams, create different traffic streams for the media streams and signaling streams on the OLT. When the packet is forwarded from two WAN ports, the configured VLAN is carried by default. Create a WAN port named WAN-RTP on the ONT and set this WAN port to a media WAN port. Specifically, choose Interface 1 > RTP and set Associate WAN Interface to WAN2.

2.Bind a general VAS profile.

3.Configure the ONT VAS service.

NOTE:

Domain Name is ONT’s domain name registered with the MGC. It is globally unique. MG Domain Name in this example is ONT’s password. Paying attention to the RTP TID configuration when the ONT is interconnected with a soft switch of other vendors. The terminal IDs A0 and A1 must be consistent with the corresponding configuration on the MGC. Do not configure Directory Number.

Through this article, we have mastered how to configure the H.248-based Voice Service. If you want to know how to configure the SIP-based Voice Service, please kindly check this topic: How to Configure the SIP-based Voice Service?
