Sprint Sip Trunking Configuration Guide
Sprint Sip Trunking Configuration Guide
Sprint Sip Trunking Configuration Guide
Service Providers today, such as Sprint, are offering alternative methods to connect to the PSTN via their
IP networks. Most of these services utilize SIP as the primary signaling method and centralized IP to
TDM POP gateways to provide on-net and off-net services.
A demarcation device between these services and customer owned services is recommended. As an
intermediary device between Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Sprint network, Cisco Unified
Border Element (CUBE) ISR 4321/K9 running IOS 16.5.1b can be used. The Cisco Unified Border
Element 16.5.1b provides demarcation, security, interworking and session control services for Cisco
Unified Communications Manager 11.5.1 connected to Sprint network.
This document assumes the reader is knowledgeable with the terminology and configuration of Cisco
Unified Communications Manager (CUCM). Only configuration settings specifically required for Sprint
interoperability are presented. Feature configuration and most importantly the dial plan are customer
specific and need individual approach.
This application note describes how to configure a Cisco Unified Communications Manager
(CUCM) 11.5.1 and Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) on ISR 4321/K9 [IOS - 16.5.1b] for
connectivity to Sprint SIP Trunking service available in the former Sprint Business service area1 .
The deployment model covered in this application note is CPE (CUCM 11.5.1) to PSTN (Sprint).
Testing was performed in accordance to Sprint generic SIP Trunking test methodology and among
features verified were – basic calls, DTMF transport, Music on Hold (MOH), unattended and
attended transfers, call forward, conferences and interoperability with Cisco Unity Connection
(CUC).
The CUCM configuration detailed in this document is based on a lab environment with a simple
dial-plan used to ensure proper interoperability between Sprint SIP network and Cisco Unified
Communications. The configuration described in this document details the important configuration
settings to have enabled for interoperability to be successful and care must be taken by the network
administrator deploying CUCM to interoperate to Sprint SIP Trunking network.
This application note does not cover the use of Calling Search Spaces (CSS) or partitions on CUCM. To
understand and learn how to apply CSS and partitions refer to the cisco.com link below:

Software Requirements
Cisco Unified Communications Manager 11.5.1
Cisco Unity Connection 11.5.1
IOS 16.06.01 for ISR 4321/K9 Cisco Unified Border Element

Caveats
Caller ID is not updated after attended or unattended transfers to off-net phones. This is
due to a limitation on CUBE and will be resolved in the next release. The issue does not
impact the calls.
Network Interface
The IP address used are for illustration only, the actual IP address can vary. The Active/Standby
pair share the same virtual IP address and continually exchange status messages.
Codecs
G729 is used primarily towards Sprint until specified otherwise.
