Shorten the Site Name Display

The SIP_OMIT_DOMAIN_FROM_PARTY_NAME System Flag can be used to remove Domain Names from SIP dial-in participants’ Site Names. This prevents long domain names being appended to SIP participant names, as frequently happens when the Collaboration Server is used with a DMA.

The flag must be manually added to the System Configuration and its value modified as follows:

●YES (Default) - The domain name is omitted from SIP dial-in participant names.

●NO - The domain name remains as part of SIP dial-in participant names.
