Configuring SIP Settings

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signaling protocol for Internet conferencing.

If you are unfamiliar with SIP, Polycom recommends that you do not change the default settings.

To configure the SIP settings if your network supports SIP:

1.Go to System > Admin Settings > Network > IP > SIP Settings.

2.Configure these settings:

Description

 

 

Enable SIP

Check this to allow the system to make calls using SIP.

 

 

Transport Protocol

Select the protocol the system uses for SIP signalling.

 

The SIP network infrastructure in which your V500 system is

 

operating determines which protocol you should choose. For

 

example, if your V500 system is operating in a Microsoft Live

 

Communication Server (LCS) SIP network, choose TCP. If your

 

V500 system is operating in a Nortel Multimedia Communication

 

Server (MCS) SIP network, choose UDP.

 

 

Password

Enter the password that authenticates the system to the Registrar

 

Server.

 

 

User Name

Enter the system’s SIP name or leave this field blank if you want

 

to use the system’s IP address as the SIP user name.

 

 

Proxy Server

Enter the DNS name or IP address of the SIP Proxy Server, or

 

leave this field blank if no proxy server is used.

 

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

 

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

 

here:

 

255.255.255.255:5070

 

 

Registrar Server

Enter the name or IP address of the SIP Registrar Server.

 

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

 

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