QoS for Microsoft Office OCS and Apple Facetime
Voice and video devices use a signaling protocol to establish, control, and terminate voice and video calls. These
control or signaling sessions are usually permitted using pre-defined ACLs. If the control signaling packets are
encrypted, the OAW-IAP cannot determine the dynamic ports are used for voice or video traffic. In these cases, the
OAW-IAP has to use an ACL with the classify-media option enabled to identify the voice or video flow based on a
deep packet inspection and analysis of the actual traffic.
Microsoft OCS
Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) uses Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) over TLS to establish,
control, and terminate voice and video calls.
Apple Facetime
When an Apple device starts a Facetime video call, it initiates a TCP session to the Apple Facetime server over port
5223, then sends SIP signaling messages over a non-default port. When media traffic starts flowing, audio and video
data are sent through that same port using RTP. (The audio and video packets are interleaved in the air, though
individual the sessions can be uniquely identified using their payload type and sequence numbers.) The RTP header
and payload also get encapsulated under the TURN ChannelData Messages. The Facetime call is terminated with a
SIP BYE message that can be sent by either party.
The following table lists the ports used by Apple Facetime. Facetime users need to be assigned a role where traffic is
allowed on these ports.

Configuring Access Rules
You can configure access rules using Instant UI or CLI.
In the Instant UI
1. Select an existing wireless or wired profile. Depending on the network profile selected, the Edit <WLAN-Profile>
or Edit Wired Network window is displayed.
You can also configure access rules in the Access tab of the New WLAN and New Wired Network
windows when configuring a new profile.
2. In the Access tab, slide to Network-based using the scroll bar to specify access rules for the network.
3. Click New to add a new rule. The New Rule window is displayed.
4. In the New Rule window, specify the following parameters:
