operating determines which protocol is required. For example, if

 

your V500 system is operating in a Microsoft Live Communication

operating in a Nortel Multimedia Communication Server (MCS)

 

SIP network, choose UDP.

system’s IP address is the SIP user name.

 

 

Proxy Server

here:

 

255.255.255.255:5070
