Add Outbound Registration Dialog Box Some external SIP peers require peers to register with them as an endpoint 
does, using a REGISTER message (also known as pilot registration). The Add 
Outbound Registration dialog box lets you add outbound registration 
configurations that the system can use to register with the SIP peer that you’re 
adding or editing, following the rules specified in RFC 3261. 
The following table describes the fields in the Add Outbound Registration 
dialog box. 
Table 5-21 Add Outbound Registration dialog box 
Field  Description
Enabled  Clearing this check box lets you stop using this 
registration without deleting the registration information. 
Address of record  The AOR with which the system registers (see 
registration rules in RFC 3261), such as: 
sip:1000@dma.polycom.com 
Territory to perform 
registration 
Responsibility for registering must be assigned to a 
territory, thus making the primary or backup DMA 
cluster for the territory responsible, depending on which 
is active. 
Contact address format  Select IP or DNS to specify that the contact header 
should use the virtual IP address or virtual DNS name of 
the cluster currently managing the territory. If the 
territory responsibility switches to the other cluster, it 
re-sends the registration using its IP address or DNS 
name. 
Select Free Form to specify that the contact header 
should use the FQDN you enter. The external peer must 
be able to resolve this FQDN. 
User name  The user name to use for the authentication credentials 
if the external peer challenges the registration request. 
Note: The authentication credentials specified here are 
specific to this SIP peer and are not tied to any other 
authentication configuration values.
