Register Retry

The Register Retry Enhancements feature for SPA2102,

Enhancements

SPA3102, and PAP2T devices adds flexibility to the delay

 

timers that are activated when the SIP REGISTER of a

 

device fails. Once a SIP REGISTER failure response code

 

is sent, a delay timer is selected depending on the type of

 

registration failure response code. The delay timers can

 

be one of the following:

 

Reg Retry Random Delay—Random delay range (in

 

seconds) to add to the Register Retry Intvl parameter when

 

retrying a SIP REGISTER after a failure. The default is 0,

 

which disables this feature.

 

Reg Retry Long Random Delay—Random delay range (in

 

seconds) to add to the Register Retry Long Intvl parameter

 

when retrying a SIP REGISTER after a failure. The default is

 

0, which disables this feature.

 

Reg Retry Intvl Cap—The maximum value to cap the

 

exponential back-off retry delay. The exponential back-off

 

retry delay starts with the setting found in the Register Retry

 

Intvl parameter and doubles it on every REGISTER retry after

 

a failure. In other words, the retry interval after a failure is

 

always set to the seconds configured in the Register Retry

 

Intvl parameter. If this feature is enabled, the Reg Retry

 

Random Delay setting is added on top of the exponential

 

back-off adjusted delay value. The default value is 0, which

 

disables the exponential back-off feature.

 

Register Retry is configured in the SIP tab. See “ATA Voice

 

Field Reference,” on page121.

The Cisco Systems SPA2102 is a versatile Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) adapter that serves as a bridge between traditional telephony systems and modern IP networks. Designed primarily for small to medium businesses, the SPA2102 is highly regarded for its reliability, ease of use, and rich feature set. This device allows users to make and receive phone calls over the internet while maintaining the ability to connect traditional analog phones.

One of the standout features of the SPA2102 is its dual-port capability. The device includes two FXS ports, allowing users to connect two separate analog telephones. This makes it an ideal choice for businesses that want to retain their existing telephony infrastructure while transitioning to a VoIP system. The ability to utilize two telephone lines simultaneously provides flexibility and convenience, especially for users in a busy office environment.

The SPA2102 leverages Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) technology, which is widely recognized for its robustness and interoperability. The support for SIP ensures that the SPA2102 can work seamlessly with various VoIP service providers, offering users a broad range of options for their telecommunication needs. In addition to SIP, the device supports various codecs, including G.711, G.726, and G.729, allowing for flexible audio quality settings and bandwidth management.

Security is also a critical aspect of the SPA2102. It incorporates advanced encryption methods, such as Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) and Transport Layer Security (TLS), to protect voice communications from potential eavesdropping. This focus on security makes the SPA2102 a reliable choice for businesses concerned about the confidentiality of their conversations.

The device is easy to configure and manage, thanks to its web-based interface. This allows administrators to quickly set up the adapter, manage network settings, and troubleshoot any issues that may arise. Furthermore, the SPA2102 supports Quality of Service (QoS) features, ensuring that voice traffic is prioritized over other types of network traffic, which enhances call quality and reliability.

Overall, the Cisco SPA2102 is a powerful, user-friendly VoIP adapter that combines traditional telephony with modern IP technology. Its dual-port capability, support for SIP, extensive security features, and ease of configuration make it a solid choice for businesses looking to innovate their communication systems while minimizing disruption. Whether used in a small office or a larger organizational setting, the SPA2102 continues to be a reliable component of VoIP solutions.
