AES Overview• “Avaya Aura Application Enablement Services (AE Services) is a software platform that leverages the

capabilities of Avaya Aura Communication Manager. AE Services provides an enhanced set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), protocols, and web services that expose the functionality of Avaya Communication solutions to corporate application developers, third-party independent software vendors, and system integrators.” (Excerpt from: Avaya Aura Application Enablement Services Overview, Release 6.1 Issue 1, February 2011)

AE TO CM LINK CONFIGURATION

Ensure you have all necessary information

AES AccessWeb Access: https://WW.XX.YY.ZZ

AE 4.2 Initial Screen AE 5.2 Initial Screen

AES LoginDefault login & password is craft & craft01 or cust & custpw

4.2 Login Screen 5.2 Login Screen

License File Check for AE 4

4.2 WebLM Access is chosen instead of AE Server administration

License File Check

5.2 and 6 WebLM Access is chosen from the Console Management screen after the initial login by clicking the licensing link to expose the WebLM Server Access link. Default login for WebLM in 4 and 5 is admin and weblmadmin. If and when you change it, please document what it has been changed to.

License File Check for AE 5 &6

After choosing WebLM access from the console management screen, log into the WebLM server and check the licensed products

License is based on MAC address

• 5.2 Switch Connection

Link Admin(AE Side: Switch Connection)

• 4.2 Switch Connection PasswordMust be 12 characters and match PBX IP services entry

• 5.2 Switch Connection PasswordMust be 12 characters and match PBX IP Services entry

Link Admin(AE Side: Link Registration Interfaces)

4.2 Clan or Procr 5.2 Clan or Procr

Link Admin(AE Side: TSAPI Link)

• AE 5 & 6 Add TSAPI Link

Link Admin(AE Side: TSAPI Link)

• AE 5 & 6 Configure TSAPI Link

Link Admin(CM Side: Node Names)

• Add AES hostname and IP Address to node names

Link Admin(CM Side: CLAN or Processor Ethernet)

• Ensure the CLAN board or Processor Ethernet are configured and enabled

• Procr is shared so cannot be in an isolated NR (instead use ip-network-map see next slide)

• CLAN boards can be placed into the isolated NR designated for the AE link

• Older CM releases required data modules associated with CLAN boards

Link Admin(CM Side: Network Map)

• IP Network Map entry for AE IP Address when using Procr to isolate AE

• Best practice when CLANS are available

• Note: Link will work without this step, but may eventually become problematic. This is considered more of a “best practice”

Link Admin(CM Side: CTI Link)

• CM command is “add cti-link x”

• Use and unused extension number, preferably non-did

• Type is “ADJ-IP”

• Leave pages 2 & 3 at default

Link Admin(CM Side: IP Services)

• CM command is “Change IP-Services”

• On page 1, enter “AESVCS” in service type field, select “y” under enable, and enter the node-name of the designated CLAN board or, as in the illustration, “procr”, leaving the local port number at default

• On page 4, enter the node name associated with the AE server and enter the password you created in the AE on the Switch Connection entry, then select “y” to enable

Link Status(CM Side)

• CM commands– “status aesvcs interface”

look to see that it is enabled and listening

– “status aesvcs link” verify that messages are being sent and received

– “status aesvcs cti-link” ensure the link is not busied out, and the service state is established

Link Status(AE Side: Switch Connection)

• In AE 4.2 from “CTI OAM Administration” screen select “Status and Control” and then “Switch Conn Summary”, look to see that the link is talking and online and messages are being sent and received

• In AE 5.2 from the initial main screen select the “Status” link, then “Status and Control” and finally “Switch Conn Summary”, look to see that the link is talking and online and messages are being sent and received

Link Status(AE Side: TSAPI Link)

• In AE 5 and 6, from the initial main screen select the “Status” link, then “Status and Control” and finally “TSAPI Service Summary”, look to see that the link is talking and online and messages are being sent and received. If an adjunct server is connected check to see if “associations” are being created

Troubleshooting

4.2 Diagnostics 5.2 Diagnostics

Things to keep in mind• Use dedicated CLAN board/s for the Link/s and one or more

different CLAN boards for the H.323 registrations when possible (limit to ~250 per CLAN)

• Optimize Network Region configurations for desired results and test for functionality

• Coordinate port speed / duplex modes on Ethernet Switch ports• Keep FW and SW updates current to latest known stable load• Ensure third party CTI apps are Avaya DevConnect certified

with up-to-date app notes

Break

Lab will begin after the Break

Lab Objectives

• Demonstrate the ability to access CM via putty (ssh) or ASA and complete all steps required to establish an AE Services Link and AE CTI Link

• Demonstrate the ability to access AE via a Browser and complete all steps required to establish a CM Switch Connection and a TSAPI Services Link

• Demonstrate the ability to complete any diagnostic and status steps necessary to verify functionality of services and links
