Procedure and function
|
- The CloudLink Gateway contains an API that is used to add, change, delete and view users, SIP extensions (softclients), and the SIP trunk in CloudLink Gateway. The MX-ONE Provisioning Manager uses CloudLink APIs to add, change, delete and view information in CloudLink. Depending on the service used in the solution, the Provi- sioning Manager will use one or more APIs to perform each task. The API calls are implemented in the Provisioning Manager software and it is transparent for the system administrator.
- CloudLink Gateway contains a CSTA server that is used to interact with the different Mitel Call Managers. CSTA III XML is used with MX-ONE.
- CloudLink Gateway contains a SIP PBX used to interact with the different Mitel Call Managers.The SIP PBX component on the CloudLink Gateway LAN side supports SIP TCP, SIP UDP, and RTP, SRTP (media).
