Re: [VoiceOps] Fraud Management
Have you tried PinDrop Security - http://www.pindropsecurity.com/ They have a purpose built solution around calling line ID fraud. They are enterprise centric - but the solution is very portable.

NexOSS-FC is a SIP redirect server. You configure your SBC to route every call to NexOSS-FC. If no fraud is detected, NexOSS-FC returns a 404 and your SBC routes the call to the next destination in its routing table. If fraud is detected, NexOSS-FC returns a 603 and the SBC blocks the call. If you want to divert fraudulent calls, NexOSS-FC can return a 300 redirect message with the destination to where the SBC should divert the call. The SIP Analytics of NexOSS-FC is better fraud protection than conventional CDR Analytics because it obtains the call information sooner and because SIP INVITES have call details for fraud detection that are not available in Call Detail Records. The solution is simple and effective. Please contact me offline if you want to evaluate the software.

We have had fraud to international premium destinations which we are restricting based on calling profiles and originating source IPs; but neither is truly scalable. Subsequently we are looking for alternatives.

Re: [VoiceOps] Broadsoft / Puppet
Can I ask a dumb question and ask was Puppet using the BSFT provisioning API (OCIP)? If so then there should be no problem. I don¹t want to beat a horse here but I can¹t get past your original request being so benign it shouldn¹t matter.

Their reply was that NO 3d party software is allowed unless it is a part of the broadsoft platform and supported by them. The common understanding is - use it if you want, but do so at your own risk. They will not be held accountable or responsible if it breaks or interferes with the normal working of the platform, be it OS or application. We ended up not using puppet.

That system may be problematic since the service model is usually a fixed number of features in inventory. I would think you could use puppet to spin up media servers as needed - and network servers to a lesser extent. As for engaging BroadSoft TAC I would ask them this - if the server was provisioned and placed into server in a more traditional manner - would BroadSoft TAC allow tickets to be opened? Assuming the answer would be yes - I would then position your Puppet deployment to BroadSoft TAC as just that - your deployment platform (jump box to them). Other than asking permission I doubt you would need to ask BroadSoft anything around Puppet in particular - just tell them your servers are being provisioned via Puppet. If the servers are provisioned to BSFT spec then you should be ok.

When we queried them around the use of puppet or any other 3d party software of any kind, their reply was that general policy is not to support any software not loaded by Broadsoft that can even remotely possibly interfere with the working of the application. Anything we cannot raise a TAC on is not supported. On 07/12/2014 21:22, Alex Hardie wrote: Wait - why would BroadSoft even be aware of Puppet? I assume orchestration was around spinning up various servers - AS servers are the only ones that would be bound by licenses. Spinning up NS or MS should be transparent - they (BroadSoft) wouldn't care. What servers were you provisioning ?

Re: [VoiceOps] Broadsoft MoH
Music on hold is more than delivery of .mp3 files - and you are right it depends TOTALLY on an outside source to Broadsoft if you want to do anything that involves a richer content experience. This is one of the issues between a premise based solution and a hosted one. In a hosted solution the carrier is responsible for the distribution of content - the whole DRM issue is a pain. In a CPE/PBX solution the service demark is in the building - technically the carrier providing the trunk never has to touch it. In the hosted service they do. There are several partners of BroadSoft - I think you can even dig up an old partner config guide somewhere - its been supported since R11 I think. I can look for who the partners are and follow up on this thread - but there are several. This is more an architectural issue than a product one - and is another reason deployments taking full advantage of what BroadSoft does well (scale, service logic etc.) requires the operator to provide some level of integration - in this case a far bit.

It seems like Broadsoft does only allow you to upload one .wav file at a time, and it plays the beginning of that file every time. I think this is bad on Broadsoft's part. It assumes the end user knows how to convert a .mp3 or other audio format to a .wav file (try explaining that to a common end user). Plus once they figure out how to upload the file, they can only upload one file. Uploading another file erases the old file. You could combine multiple songs into one long sound file, but then Broadsoft only plays the beginning of the sound file. So unless the caller is on hold for a really long time that doesn't help. Broadsoft's solution from what I can see is to use an external source. What authorized, external sound sources are out there from Broadsoft? Ones that are configured and managed through Broadsoft DMS? I just learned of PIKA WARP Plus. This does allow you to use an external source like an Ipod connected to the 3.5mm audio jack. It doesn't allow you to upload multiple songs to the device, and stream it back to Broadsoft in a loop however. Plus this product is pretty expensive if just using it as a MoH option. It is Broadsoft certified however. I have heard there are some other ATA's out there that can use an FXO port as an audio in jack? Anything that can do both? audio in jack plus upload multiple sound files? and managed by Broadsoft? I hate the idea of having any other device besides the phones themselves at a clients site for a hosted solution.
