Configuring SIP endpoints
To configure the SIP endpoints to work with the IP VCR, go to Endpoints > Add SIP.
Refer to the table below for tips on adding a SIP endpoint to the IP VCR. After entering the settings, click Add endpoint.
Field Field description Usage tips
Name The name of the endpoint.
Address The IP address, host name, or SIP URI (in the
format 1234@codian.com).
The address of the SIP endpoint can be a directory
number if you are using a SIP registrar.
Use SIP
registrar
Allows calls to this endpoint to use a directory
number (in the Address field) and the SIP registrar.
If you have this enabled, you must configure the
SIP registrar on the Settings > SIP page.
Call-in match
parameters
These fields are used to identify incoming calls as
being from the endpoint.
The endpoint is recognized if all filled-in fields in
this section are matched. Fields left blank are not
considered in the match.
Note that in some cases a SIP registrar can cause a
call to appear to come from the IP address of the
registrar rather than the IP address of the endpoint.
In this case, to use call-in match parameters, leave
the IP address field blank and enter the correct
username. The call will be matched by username.
When using LCS, the username that will be
matched is the user's display name (e.g. Peter
Rabbit) rather than the sign-in name
(bluecoat@codian.com).
Motion /
sharpness
trade off
Choose whether to use the box-wide setting for
motion/sharpness trade off, or configure an
individual setting for this endpoint. Choose from:
• Use box-wide setting: this is the default
value. In this case, the endpoint will use
the motion/sharpness tradeoff setting
from the Settings > Connections page
• Favor motion: the IP VCR will try and use a
high frame rate. That is, the IP VCR will
strongly favor a resolution of at least 25
frames per second
• Favor sharpness: the IP VCR will use the
highest resolution that is appropriate for
what is being viewed
• Balanced: the IP VCR will select settings
that balance resolution and frame rate
(where the frame rate will not be less than
12 frames per second)
The settings for motion (frames per second) and
sharpness (frame size or resolution) are negotiated
between the endpoint and the IP VCR. This setting
controls how the IP VCR will negotiate the settings
to be used with this endpoint.
