HTTP-based Remote Services

15.5.1 Configuring HTTP Services

The HTTP Remote Services table lets you configure up to seven HTTP-based services
provided by third-party remote hosts (e.g., routing server). The following types of services
can be offered by the remote host:

Routing: Call routing service, whereby the remote host (e.g., routing server)
determines the next hop of an incoming call on the path to the final destination. For
more information on employing a third-party, remote routing server or AudioCodes
ARM, see 'Centralized Third-Party Routing Server or ARM' on page 270.

Call Status: Call status of calls processed by the device. The call status is provided to
the remote host through CDRs sent by the device.

Topology Status: Status of device configuration (add, edit and delete). The device
sends topology status to the HTTP host, using the REST TopologyStatus API
command. To enable the functionality, configure the 'Topology Status'
(RoutingServerGroupStatus) parameter to Enable. The parameter is located below
the table.
Topology status includes the following:
•
IP Groups: status is reported when the keep-alive mechanism (enabled for the
associated Proxy Set) detects that the IP Group is unavailable, or when CAC
thresholds (configured in the Admission Control table) are crossed.
•
Trunk Groups: status is reported when the trunk's physical state indicates that the
trunk is unavailable.
•
Status is reported when IP Groups, Trunk Groups or SIP Interfaces that are
configured to be used by HTTP-based services (i.e., the UsedByRoutingServer
parameter is set to 1 - Used) are created or deleted. If you subsequently change
the settings of the UsedByRoutingServer parameter or the 'Name' parameter, the
device reports the change as a creation or deletion of the corresponding
configuration entity.

Capture: Recording of signaling and RTP packets, and Syslog. The remote host can
be, for example, a Syslog server or AudioCodes SEM.
Notes:
•
You can configure only one HTTP Remote Service entry for Routing, for Call
Status, and for Topology. However, you can configure up to four HTTP Remote
Services for Capture.
•
The Routing service also includes the Call Status and Topology Status services.
•
Currently, the Capture service is not supported.
•
The device supports HTTP redirect responses (3xx) only during connection
establishment with the host. Upon receipt of a redirect response, the device
attempts to open a new socket with the host and if this is successful, closes the
current connection.
