DMA OperationsGuide  External SIP Peer
104 Polycom, Inc.
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. 
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. 
Domain List  If your dial plan uses a rule to apply the Resolve to 
external SIP peer action, you can restrict calls to this 
peer server to specific domains by adding the 
authorized domains to this list. 
If this list is empty, all domains can resolve to this peer. 
Note: In some circumstances (depending on network 
topology and configuration), dialing loops can develop if 
you don't restrict peer servers to specific domains. 
Add new domain  Enter a domain and click Add to add it to the list of 
authorized domains. 
Authorized domains  List of administrative domains, contained in the dial 
string, for which calls are routed to this peer server. 
Leave this list empty to route any call that matches the 
rule to this peer server. 
Select a domain and click Remove to remove it from 
the list. 
Postliminary 
Use output format  Enables dial string transformations using the To header 
and Request-URI option settings below instead of a 
customized script. 
Note: The system generates a script that implements 
the settings made in this section. To see (and perhaps 
copy) the generated script, you can temporarily select 
Use customized script. 
To help you learn how to write your own script, you can 
make different settings in this section and see how the 
generated script changes. 
To header options  Specify the format of the To header in messages sent to 
this peer.
