About the SPA9000 Voice System and SIP

The SPA9000 Voice System is implemented using open standards, such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), to help ensure interoperability with all ITSPs that support SIP. This section provides information about the SIP requests and the settings that you may need to adjust on your network or your SPA9000 to help ensure interoperability.

The VoIP telephone service is coordinated by SIP requests and responses, whether the calls are internal or external. Figure1, “SIP Requests and Responses for Internal Calls,” on page 48 illustrates the SIP requests and responses between client stations in the SPA9000 Voice System. The SPA9000 acts as a SIP proxy and establishes a session. After the session is established, Real Time Protocol (RTP) traffic flows directly between the two client stations.
