Setting Description

Transport

Protocol

Indicates the protocol the system uses for SIP signaling.

The SIP network infrastructure in which your Polycom HDX

system is operating determines which protocol is required. For

example, if your Polycom HDX system is operating in a

Microsoft® Live Communication Server (LCS) SIP network,

choose TCP. If your Polycom HDX system is operating in a

Nortel Multimedia Communication Server (MCS) SIP network,

choose UDP.

User Name Specifies the system’s SIP name. If you leave this field blank, the

system’s IP address is the SIP user name.

Password Specifies the password that authenticates the system to the

Registrar Server.

Registrar

Server

Specifies the DNS name or IP address of the SIP Registrar

Server.

By default, the SIP signaling is sent to port 5060 on the registrar

server. To specify a different port, add it to the address as shown

here:

10.11.12.13:5070

Proxy Server Specifies the DNS name or IP address of the SIP Proxy Server. If

you leave this field blank, no proxy server is used.

By default, the SIP signaling is sent to port 5060 on the proxy

server. To specify a different port, add it to the address as shown

here:

10.11.12.13:5070

Points to note about SIP:

The SIP protocol has been widely adapted for voice over IP communications and

basic video conferencing; however, many of the advanced video conferencing

capabilities are not yet standardized. Many capabilities also depend on the SIP

server.

Examples of features that are not supported using SIP are:

•Polycom Video and Audio Error Concealment

•Encryption

•People and Content (H.239 and Polycom People+Content)

•H.263 Pro-Motion

•For more information about SIP compatibility issues, refer to the Release Notes

for Polycom HDX Systems.
