4.6.2 SIP Configuration - sip.cfg
The configuration file sip.cfg contains SIP protocol settings that would typically apply
to an entire installation and must be set before the phones will be operational, unless
changed via the local web server interface or local menu settings on the phone. Set-
tings include the local port used for SIP signaling, the address and ports of a cluster of
SIP servers, and other parameters. The following sections describe each of these
parameters.

4.6.2.1 Protocol <volpProt/>

Values Default Interpretation
volpProt.local.port 0 to 65535 5060 Local port for sending and receiving SIP signaling
packets.
If set to 0 or Null, 5060 is used for the local port but
it is not advertised in the SIP signaling.
If set to some other value, that value is used for the
local port and it is advertised in the SIP signaling.
