Overview
EdgeMarc Enterprise Session Border Controllers (ESBC) are used to connect
enterprises to cloud-based services such as SIP trunking and hosted PBX. They are
also used by the enterprise for business-to-business video conferencing and branch
office connectivity. Available for small to large enterprise environments, all EdgeMarc
products provide a VoIP and video-aware NAT/Firewall, protocol harmonization for
interoperability of VoIP and video devices, active VoIP line testing, call quality
monitoring, survivability, QoS and more.
The EdgeMarc ESBCs can be deployed initially as low-cost WAN access routers and
then licensed through software for more advanced VoIP features and increased call
performance. The EdgeMarc is the ideal platform for service providers and enterprise
organizations offering DIA, hosted VoIP and managed security services or enterprises
migrating to converged voice and data networks.
EdgeMarc 4603 Enterprise Session Border Controller
The EdgeMarc 4603 combines a 24 FXS port Integrated Access Device (IAD) and
multiple voice and data features into a single, easy-to-use Enterprise Session Border
Controller. It provides up to four (4) integrated T1 Channel Service Units (CSU)/Data
Service Units (DSU) for medium and large office connectivity.
Service providers and enterprise organizations use the EdgeMarc 4603 to connect IP,
TDM and analog-based PBXs to SIP trunking services. The EdgeMarc 4603
automatically manipulates SIP messages and features advanced inspection
capabilities that enable it to be deployed in many different environments with a wide
range of PBXs and SIP trunking services. It is the ideal platform for service providers
and enterprise organizations for use in SIP trunking, hosted VoIP and other converged
services.

Feature
Description
VoIP
The EdgeMarc 4603 resolves NAT/FW traversal problems for SIP and
H.323 traffic. It allows a single public IP address to be used for multiple VoIP
clients. VoIP survivability enables continuous service during WAN link
failures. Survivability can use either the FXO ports on the EdgeMarc 4603 or
an external gateway.
Quality of
Service
The EdgeMarc 4603 maximizes WAN link utilization while optimizing voice
quality using prioritization and shaping. Quality of Service features include:
Class based queuing/prioritization
Diffserv marking and policing
Traffic shaping
VoIP call admission control prevents oversubscription of priority
queue
Passive Call
Quality
Monitoring
The EdgeMarc 4603 provides passive call quality monitoring statistics for
each VoIP call to enforce SLAs and resolve networking problems that
negatively affect call quality. The call quality monitoring features:
Per call statistics that include mean opinion score (average and
minimum), jitter, latency, and packet loss.
Alarms for poor MOS scores.
Active call count indicators.
Analog Voice
The EdgeMarc 4603 features 24 FXS ports for connecting analog and key
system phones to the network, and 2 FXO ports to connect to the PSTN for
failover.

Installation
Observe the following guidelines when installing the EdgeMarc 4603:
Always verify that the AC cord is disconnected from a power source prior to
installation.
Do not stack multiple units on top of each other as this can cause overheating.
Ensure that the installation site has adequate air circulation and meets the
minimum operating conditions for the system as specified in the Specifications
section of this document.
Required Tools, Materials, and Information
TIA/EIA 568B standard Ethernet cables to connect the LAN ports to LAN
switches or to individual IP phones. They can also be used to connect the
Ethernet WAN port to a WAN router, a cable modem or a DSL Modem, or to
connect a T1/E1 port to a WAN or PRI connection.
Philips screwdriver (if the unit will be mounted in a rack).
Male 50-pin Amphenol type connector (90 degree or 180 degree) to connect to
the FXS Phone ports. Not included.
If a T1/E1 port will be used to connect to WAN, you will need:
T1/E1 cable to connect the T1/E1 port to a T1/E1 line
T1/E1 frame format
Layer 2 protocol such as PPP, Frame Relay/DLCIs, HDLC, etc.
Warning
To reduce the risk of fire, use only 26 AWG or larger wire (e.g. 24, 22, 20, etc.) to
connect the T1 port on your unit to an RJ-45 jack.
Important!
If you will be using the V.90 port to connect to the device, you must supply your own
V.90 connection cable as it is not included with this device. For further instruction on
connecting the device using the V.90 port, consult the Edgewater Networks VoIP
Operating System (VOS) for EdgeMarc User Manual.

Step 1: Install the EdgeMarc 4603 Chassis
1. Remove the EdgeMarc 4603 and accessories from the shipping container:
AC Power cord
Rack mount ears
6 Philips head screws to attach the rack mount ears to the chassis
Edgewater Documentation CD
Regulatory, Compliance, and Safety Information
2. Place the EdgeMarc 4603 on a flat, dry surface such as a desktop, shelf or tray, or
install it in a rack as described below.
Rack Mount Installation
You can install the EdgeMarc 4603 in a 19” rack using the rack mount kit supplied with
the product.
IMPORTANT: Before completing rack installation of the EdgeMarc 4603, take
note of the following conditions:
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature specified by the
manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might
have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
To install the EdgeMarc 4603 in a rack:
1. Attach the rack mount ears to both sides of the EdgeMarc 4603 with the supplied
screws.
2. Install the EdgeMarc 4603 in the rack with rack mount screws (not included).

the T1/E1 port(s), shown as D in the front panel diagram).
2. Connect the other end of the cable(s) to the T1/E1 demarcation unit provided by
the Service Provider.
Caution
To reduce the risk of fire, connect the T1/E1 port to the T1/E1 network using only 26
AWG or larger wire such as 24, 22, 20, etc.
Step 3: Install the Amphenol Connector
The EdgeMarc 4603 includes 24 integrated Phone/FXS ports for connecting analog
and key system phones to the network. The Phone/FXS ports require a male 50-pin
Amphenol type connector (not included). Refer to the following diagrams:

Configuring Basic Network
Settings
EdgeMarc SBCs feature an easy-to-use graphical user interface that provides access
to the VoIP Operating System (VOS) for EdgeMarc so you can manage settings for
your deployment. This section explains how to configure basic network settings that
enable the EdgeMarc device to function in your IP network.
The VOS for EdgeMarc interface is accessible through a web browser such as Internet
Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. EdgeMarc devices are shipped with the pre-configured IP
address 192.168.1.1 for the LAN port. You will need to assign the WAN IP address
using IP addresses or credentials assigned for your EdgeMarc appliance by your ISP.
You may also need to specify the gateway and a preferred and secondary IP address
for the DNS server. This information should also be supplied by your ISP.
Refer to the EdgeMarc VOS User Manual for complete details on how to configure
your EdgeMarc appliance for your network deployment.
Accessing VOS for EdgeMarc
1. Connect a PC to LAN port 1 of the EdgeMarc.
2. Enable DHCP on the PC so that it will obtain an IP address.
3. Launch a web browser on the PC and enter the URL string: 192.168.1.1.
4. Press Return. The login window opens.
