OVERVIEW


This application note describes the configuration steps required to integrate ClearOne Converge Pro 2 (CP2) with the Shoretel Connect ONSITE system for SIP-based VoIP application.


Note: Though the app note refers to the CP2 128V, which was used for testing, the information it contains applies to the following CP2 models: 128V, 128VD, and 48V.



NETWORK TOPOLOGY


The following diagram shows a sample network topology used to test compatibility between ShoreTel Connect ONSITE and CP2:




CONFIGURATION NOTES


The following considerations must be taken when implementing ClearOne CP2 as SIP Extensions on the ShoreTel Connect ONSITE system. 


ShoreTel Extension License


Extension Licenses are required for each ClearOne CP2.


ShoreTel SIP Phone License


Deployment of SIP Extensions require a SIP Phone License. One SIP Phone License is required for each ClearOne CP2 SIP Extension.


Note: For additional information on SIP Endpoints with a ShoreTel Connect ONSITE system, please refer to Chapter 19 of the ShoreTel Connect Onsite System Administration Guide.


CONFIGURE SHORETEL SYSTEM


This section describes the detailed steps required on the ShoreTel Connect ONSITE system to configure ClearOne CP2 128V as SIP extensions.


Users


1. First add a User to the ShoreTel System in the Users section of the Administration software.
2. In ShoreTel Director, navigate to Administration > Users > Individual User.
3. In the drop-down box next to Add New User at Site, select the Site where you will add the new user and then click Go.
4. Once the user is created, write down the Extension Number from Users page, and the Client Username and SIP Password that you create on the continued Users page shown after since they will be used to configure the CONVERGE Pro 2 128V.


Note: There is no default SIP password although it appears masked in the password text box.


You will also need the IP Address of the ShoreTel Proxy switch; these will be needed later for configuring the CP2 128V extension in SIP Properties. The screen shots shown below are using a default User configuration. A new SIP profile will need to be created separately on the ShoreTel server with 2 additional options explained below.


The User setup shown below shows License Type: Extension and Mailbox and also requires one ShoreTel SIP Phone license for the 128V and one Extension and Mailbox license for the extension. If Extension only is selected in the User setup, then an Extension only license is required for each CP2 128V unit added to the ShoreTel system, as shown below:





Once you’ve defined the user for the CP2 128V extension, be sure that enough IP Phone resources and SIP Proxy resources are allocated to support the total number of CP2 128V phones that you will be adding to the system. To confirm, go to Administration > Voice Switches/Service Appliances > Primary.


Call Control Options


The CP2 128V was tested using the call control settings shown below with no issues.


This section describes the SIP settings required on the ShoreTel system to work with CP2 128V. This is accomplished from ShoreTel Connect Director.


1. Navigate to Administration > Features > Call Control > Options.
2. Verify the parameters located under the SIP section.
3. Realm: The realm is used in authenticating all SIP devices. Changing this value will require a reboot of switches serving as SIP extensions. It is not necessary to modify this parameter
4. Enable SIP Session Timer: Ensure this parameter is checked
5. Session interval: Session interval value indicates the SIP session registration period. There is no need to modify the default value of 1800 seconds.
6. Refresher: The refresher setting decides if user agent client or user agent server refreshes the session. There is no need to modify the default value of “Caller (UAC).”
7. Click SAVE





SIP Profile


This section describes the SIP settings required on the ShoreTel system to work with ClearOne CP2 128V. This is accomplished from ShoreTel Connect Director.


The SIP Profile is created in the IP Phones > SIP Profiles section and requires 2 custom parameters.


1. Click New to add a profile
2. Define a Name for the profile
3. In the User Agent text box type ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 128V, as an example
4. Priority will default to 100 (No change is needed here)
5. Check the Enable checkbox
6. In the Custom Parameters text box

    A. AddGracePeriod=1800

    B. DelayUnregister=15
7. Click Save to apply your changes.


Note: This will eliminate any possible race conditions that can lead to the CP2 128V not being properly registered to the ShoreTel Server causing calls to fail.


Site Settings


In the Site Settings page confirm that the CP2 128V is configured to register to the Primary Switch 1 and not the Virtual IP Address.


Configure a ClearOne CP2 128V IP Phone as a SIP Extension 


This section describes the steps required to configure a ClearOne CP2 128V IP Phone as SIP Extension on the ShoreTel system. This is accomplished from ShoreTel Connect Director.


1. Navigate to Administration > Users > Users
2. Click New, to create a new user
3. Define the First name: and Last name: Enter the appropriate user information
4. Define an Extension: ShoreTel Connect Director will automatically assign the next available extension number, but it can also be modified to any available extension number
5. Define the License type: and Access license: In our example, Extension and Mailbox was selected for this test and Connect Client for Access license

Note: If the License type is configured as Extension-Only, then Any IP Phone cannot be selected, but instead must be set to SoftSwitch.




6. Define a SIP phone password: There is no default SIP phone password configured, it is masked with the appearance that there is a default password, and must be defined by the ShoreTel Director Administrator. Make certain to type the password in both fields.
7. Click SAVE.




CONFIGURE CLEARONE CONVERGE PRO 2


The following steps detail the configuration process using the ClearOne CP2 128V to register as SIP extensions onto a ShoreTel Connect Onsite system. CP2 128V is configured using the Converge Pro 2 CONSOLE/CONSOLE AI.


Refer to the CONVERGE Pro 2 CONSOLE/CONSOLE AI User Manual for more detailed information on configuring ClearOne CP2 using the CONSOLE/CONSOLE AI application.


Configure the Date and Time Parameters


This section describes the steps required to configure the Date and Time parameters on the ClearOne CP2 128V.


1. Select the Project data which we will upload to the Device and navigate to the Setting as shown below
2. Set the Date and Time by selecting Time Settings from Settings of CONSOLE/CONSOLE AI Window of the menu bar
3. Select the time zone from the Time Zone drop-down box to choose the Time Display Format and Time Synchronization
4. The Display Format parameters were not modified from their default values



SIP Line Parameters Configuration


This section describes the steps required to configure the SIP Line parameters on the CONVERGE Pro 2 128V.
