Lync 2013 Audio Gateway Debug Logging (Ferrari, AudioCodes, Dialogic, NET Quintum)

-

I need writing about Debug Logging on several ISDN Audio Gateways.

Please visit this article more frequently, since I will update all common vendors over the time.

---------------------------------------------------

First we need to identity tools we need for Debug Logging:

WireShark for PCAP file analysis: download
properly WireShark can be your Syslog Server too. it is not the best option, but under Capture Options, define a filter: upd port 514 and start your capture on the eth.
Syslog Server: download
Snooper if its Lync Mediation Server related: download (Lync 2013 Debug Tools)


---------------------------------------------------

Ferrari Electronics (Office Master):




updated soon....



---------------------------------------------------

AudioCodes (Mediant):

First we need to configure the Syslog Server:
Navigate to Management-> Management Setting-> Syslog Setting.


 Setting
 Value
 Description
 Syslog Server IP Address
 e.g. 192.168.1.1
 
 Syslog Server Port
 514
 
 Enable Syslog
 Enable
Enable = active
Disable = deactivated 
 Debug Level
 5
Set the depth for the logging details, 5 is debug logging
Step 0 off -> 7 full
 Analog Ports Filter
 -1
if needed for analog ports,
true = 1 
 Trunks Port Filter
 -1
 if needed for trunks,
true = 1
 
 
 Next is, you will click the Radio Button "FULL" and navigate to Configuration-> Protocol Configuration-> SIP Advanced Parameters-> CDR and Debug:


 Setting
 Value
 Description
CDR Server IP Address
 e.g. 192.168.1.1
should be the same as the Syslog Server
CDR Report Level
 Star & End Call
 tracing the entire call
Debug Level 
 5
Set the depth for the logging details, 5 is debug logging
0 off -> 7 full


Now we need to jump to the Mediant Config Webpage, which is located under:
http://IPAddress/FAE or use Putty for a SSH connection.
 
On this page, we will configure the Trunk Traces for ISDN Signaling. You need to click the "Trunk Trace" option inside the left navigation panel.
 
 Setting
 Value
 Desciption
 Trace Level Trunk 1
 acFull_TRACE
 
 Trace Level Trunk 2
 acFull_TRACE
 
 Enable PSTN Trace from Web
 Off
 
 Port
 0
 


 
Now its time to start the tracing:
Start your WireShark  or make sure the Syslog Server is running, so the Mediant can transmit the debug logging information.
Therefor you click the "Cmd Shell" menu option and will copy the following commands (alternatively use SSH):
 
ADV (advanced Mode)
DR (Avanced Recording)
RTR ALL (removes any previous traces)
RT ALL (removes any previous trace targets)
AIT <IP_Address_of_Wireshark_PC/ Syslog Server> (adds your PC as the target for the debug recording packets)
AIPCT N2H SIP (send SIP traffic to target PC)
APST ISDN (send ISDN traffic to target PC)
START (begin trace)
 
-> now we are tracing, you need to save the trace as a pcap file for further analysis <-
 
STOP
RTR ALL
RT ALL
 
 
This only captures the ISDN side of the Mediant Audio Gateway.

How to hide users from GAL if they are AD Connect synchronized

How to hide and un-hide users from Global Address List (GAL) in Exchange Online if they are AD Connect synchronized Hiding User from GAL isn't possible if those are synchronized form On-Premises Active Directory. The local AD is the leading system for all important attributes, like SMTP, UPN and hiding from GAL. Especially during a cross-tenant migration, you do not want to see not migrated user in the GAL. Those User aren't actively working until their cut-over day. Since the Exchange Online attribute  msExchHideFromAddressList s is an AD on-premises parameter, we have two possible ways hiding user in BME from GAL.   Modify the AD Connect for your teant with a custom rule, by using a extensionAttribute to set the HidefromGAL. In this rule, for users which have an entry in the extensionAttribute, hiding / un-hiding will be controlled by AD Connect This is the best option for Cross-Tenant Migration, if you run 2 or more AD Connect system We direct modify the AD hide at

Cannot join external Lync Meeting: Lync Edge Server Single IP Address (Lync Edge Server Single IP Web Conferenceing Problem)

Lync Edge Server FQDN and IP PORTS (Version 1.2, Update 26.11.2014) As we all know, we can configure Lync Edge Server in several way. 1) Single Edge Server with a SINGLE IP ADDRESS 2) Single Edge Server with MULTIPLE IP ADDRESSES (3x IPs) 3) Multiple Edge Server in a Pool, with MULTIPLE IP ADDRESSES (Zx 3 IPs) Regardless what we are going to configure, there are common / well-known TCP Port necessary making Lync work, which are: Access: Port: 443 and 5061 Conferencing: Port: 443 and (444) AV: Port: 443 (I have not listed other ports, e.g. STUN or the dynamic port range. This is not required for the topic discussed here) External FQDN with single IP address: What can we see here? If we are going to choose a single IP address, we would have TCP Port overlapping. Therefore the only way avoiding this is assigning other ports. Additionally we will also see and are reminded that Lync highly depends on DNS. If we have single IP, we must have use single, unique FQDN fo

MFA with Guest Access and different tenants settings

There is an update regarding MFA Multi Factor Authentication. If you are guest with a different Tenant, the MFA Settings are now reflecting the settings of all tenants in a different way. Each MFA setting is reflected and you can setup your MFA device as per tenant and the admin settings allow. Login to your Profile in Office 365/ Azure AD: https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com/r/#/profile or https://myapps.microsoft.com Go to your PROFILE: Sign in to https://myapps.microsoft.com Select your account name in the top right, then select profile. Select Additional security verification. If might be happen, your admin hast configured MFA, so you wouldn't see this menu. Simply switch the tenant to the guest tenant where you need to configure MFA. Once you go back to your profile and you will find the MFA device and other settings a usual:
