Innovaphone Compatibility Test Report

Summary

SIP Provider: UPC Cablecom

The provider supports all required innovaphone features and is therefore qualified as recommended SIP Provider.

That being said, the provider has achieved 91% of all possible test points (143/157). For more information on the test rating, please refer to Test Description

The provider requires a SIP trunk without registration, for that reason this product is not suitable for innovaphone`s Hosting Scenario.

If the costumer doesn't have VPN contract, then the SIP Trunk it's done directly via Public IP address, so it's necessary to have the PBX/Media Gateway with Public IP address (this was the scenario tested).

If the customer has a UPC Cablecom VPN contract, direct IP routing between the SIP provider, the IP PBX and the IP phones is done. In this case, also QoS for the VoIP calls in the Cablecom network is used.

By default fax is possible only by G711 passthrough, however T.38 can be enabled at the provider for your specific trunk.

    • TCP oder UDP (according to prior agreement with upc cablecom)

Redundancy

The UPC Cablecom can provide as redundancy mechanism:

  • Round robin and Backup functions (over SIP Option Ping) to trunk multiple PBX (Master and Standby).
  • Backup with more than 1 PBX or with call forwarding to a Mobile phone

Known Problems

  • In order for CLIP No Screening to work, we must configure the use of the P-Asserted Identity as shown below. It's also necessary that UPC Cablecom activates the Clip SA service on the SIP trunk.
