Field

Description

 

 

Port

The SIP signaling port number. Defaults to the standard UDP/TCP port, 5060.

 

If the peer server is using a different port number, specify it.

 

Note: For a Microsoft Lync 2013 SIP peer, the port should be 5061.

 

If left blank, the system uses the full RFC 3263 procedure to determine the

 

port via DNS.

 

 

Transport type

The transport protocol to use when contacting this peer server. The default is

 

UDP.

 

Auto detect tells the system to select the protocol as specified in RFC 3263,

 

and is not valid if Next hop address is a numeric IP address instead of a

 

host/domain name.

 

 

Use route header

Add a Route header with the peer’s Next hop address value to the message.

 

Applies to both forwarded messages and external REGISTER messages.

 

If not selected, the only valid Request-URI configurations are those that use

 

the peer's Next hop address value for the URI host.

 

 

Downgrade

If selected, and if this peer doesn’t support TLS, the system can change the

 

Request-URI schema from sips to sip and route the call to this peer.

 

If not selected, the system routes a TLS call to this peer only if this peer

 

supports TLS.

 

 

Prefix range

The dial string prefix(es) assigned to this SIP peer.

 

Enter a single prefix (44), a range of prefixes (44-47), or multiple prefixes

 

separated by commas (44,46)

 

If your dial plan uses the Dial services by prefix dial rule (in the default dial

 

plan) to route calls to services, all dial strings beginning with an assigned

 

prefix are forwarded to this SIP peer for resolution.

 

If your dial plan instead uses a rule that you create to apply the Resolve to

 

external SIP peer action, there is no need to specify a prefix.

 

Otherwise, the system applies the SIP Routing settings of the originating site

 

(see Sites on page 279 and Edit Site Dialog Box on page 285) for calls to

 

endpoints outside the enterprise network.

 

Note: For a SIP peer, the dial string must either include the protocol or consist

 

of only the prefix and user name (no @domain). For instance, if the SIP peer’s

 

prefix is 123, the dial string for a call to alice@polycom.com must be one of

 

the following:

 

sip:123alice@polycom.com

 

sips:123alice@polycom.com

 

123alice

 

 

Strip prefix

If selected, the system strips the prefix when a call that includes a prefix is

 

routed to this peer.

 

 

Register externally

Some external SIP peers require peers to register with them as an endpoint

 

does, using a REGISTER message.

 

Select this option to enable the External Registration tab and configure the

 

system to register with this external peer server, following the rules specified

 

in RFC 3261.
