The feature requires unrestricted Internet access with a static, public
IP address for the OpenScape 4000 SoftGate server/service.
An IP password must be assigned to the relevant phones in AMO SBCSU
The phone in the remote office has to operate in secure mode, it
has to be registered with TLS.
The WAN interface of the OpenScape 4000 SoftGate requires a certificate.
In case of SIP/UFIP the certificate is required for the Gateway to which
SIP/UFIP subscribers are connected.
The phone in the remote office has to use an NTP server (e.g. Internet
Pool NTP) for time synchronization. The simplest way is to use an NTP
server pool (e.g. 0.de.pool.ntp.org).
For use of mobile HFA:
To achieve a fully working mobile HFA scenario, the visit and home devices
have to be configured on the same OpenScape 4000 SoftGate if the visit
phone is the phone in the remote office.
If an OpenScape Deployment Service (DLS) is used, both services,
DCMP and DLS, have to be accessible via the public network. You will
find additional information on the topic of "Configuring Home User Terminals
for DLS/DCMP" in the Administrator Manual for the "OpenScape Deployment
Service V8".
For HFA SRS can be used across multiple vSTMI boards in a SoftGate.
Hence the feature itself has no limit as to how many subscribers can
be configured for SRS in the SoftGate.
For SIP/UFIP phones however there is dedicated vSTMI board for SRS
and its IP address must be known to the primary DMZ firewall and respective
port forwarding rules for SIP signaling and media need to be configured.
More vSTMI SIP cards (either on single SG or across multiple SoftGates)
can be accessed only if there are created separate forwarding rules in
the firewall distinguished by different ports, i.e. 5061, 5062, etc.
