Configuring Your System

Multiple Registrations

The SoundPoint IP 301, 320, 330, and 430 support a maximum of two registrations, the SoundPoint IP 501 supports three, the SoundPoint IP 550 and 560 supports four, and the SoundPoint IP 600, 601, and 650 support 6. Up to three SoundPoint IP Expansion Modules can be added to a single host SoundPoint IP 601 and 650 phone increasing the total number of buttons to 12 registrations on the SoundPoint IP 601 and 34 registrations on the SoundPoint IP 650 and 670. The SoundStation IP 4000, 6000, and 7000 supports a single registration.

Each registration can be mapped to one or more line keys (a line key can be used for only one registration). The user can select which registration to use for outgoing calls or which to use when initiating new instant message dialogs.

Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server or locally:

Central

Configuration file:

Specify the local SIP signaling port and an array of SIP servers to

(boot server)

sip.cfg

register to. For each server specify the registration period and the

 

 

signaling failure behavior.

 

 

• For more information, refer to Local <local/> on page A-6and

 

 

Server <server/> on page A-7.

 

 

 

 

Configuration file:

For up to maximum number of registrations, specify a display name,

 

phone1.cfg

a SIP address, an optional display label, an authentication user ID

 

 

and password, the number of line keys to use, and an optional array

 

 

of registration servers. The authentication user ID and password are

 

 

optional and for security reasons can be omitted from the

 

 

configuration files. The local flash parameters will be used instead.

 

 

The optional array of servers and their associated parameters will

 

 

override the servers specified in sip.cfg if non-Null.

 

 

• For more information, refer to Registration <reg/> on page A-107.

 

 

 

Local

Web Server

Specify the local SIP signaling port and an array of SIP servers to

 

(if enabled)

register to.

 

Navigate to http://<phoneIPAddress>/appConf.htm#se

 

 

 

 

For up to six registrations (depending on the phone model, in this

 

 

case the maximum is six even for the IP 601, 650 and 670), specify a

 

 

display name, a SIP address, an optional display label, an

 

 

authentication user ID and password, the number of line keys to use,

 

 

and an optional array of registration servers. The authentication user

 

 

ID and password are optional and for security reasons can be omitted

 

 

from the configuration files. The local flash parameters will be used

 

 

instead. The optional array of servers will override the servers

 

 

specified in sip.cfg in non-Null. This will also override the servers on

 

 

the appConf.htm web page.

 

 

Navigate to http://<phoneIPAddress>/reg.htm

 

 

Changes are saved to local flash and backed up to <Ethernet

 

 

address>-phone.cfgon the boot server. Changes will permanently

 

 

override global settings unless deleted through the Reset Local

 

 

Config menu selection and the <Ethernet address>-phone.cfgis

 

 

removed from the boot server.
