Attaching a CAC Profile to a VoIP Peer

A CAC Profile can be attached to a VoIP Peer. The same CAC Profile can be reused for multiple topology elements. When attaching a CAC Profile to a VoIP Peer, the ARM counts all sessions of all Peer Connections connected to the VoIP Peer for both incoming and outgoing.

To attach a CAC profile to a VoIP Peer:
1. From the Network Topology Map page (Network > Map) or from the VoIP Peers page (Network > Peer Peers), select and edit the VoIP Peer.

2. From the ‘CAC Profile’ drop-down, select one of the previously defined profiles.
3. In the VoIP Peers page (Network > VoIP Peers), view the CAC Profile in the ‘CAC Profile’ column.

4. In the VoIP Peers page, you can (optionally) click Advanced Search to filter all VoIP Peers by CAC Profile.

The ARM generates VoIP Peer CAC Threshold alarms when specified thresholds are crossed. The following severities are supported for CAC Profile related alarms:

Warning – generated for VoIP Peers when the number of sessions reaches the threshold limit (as a percentage) defined in Settings > Routing > CAC Profiles.

Critical – generated when the number of sessions reaches the defined session limit.

Clear – generated to clear ‘set’ alarms when the number of sessions drops under the defined limit or when the CAC Profile is detached.
