Viewing the Calls Page Understanding the Calls Page

The Calls page lists all the calls currently taking place to or from devices registered with the VCS, or that are passing through the VCS.

To view the Calls page:

•Status > Calls

Disconnect

Click here to disconnect the selected calls.

Call disconnection works differently for

!H.323 and SIP calls due to differences

in the way the protocols work.

For H.323 calls, and interworked H.323 to SIP calls, the Disconnect command will actually disconnect the call.

For SIP to SIP calls, the Disconnect command will cause the VCS to release all resources used for the call and the call will appear on the system as disconnected. However, SIP calls are peer-to-peer and as a SIP proxy the VCS has no authority over the endpoints. Although releasing the resources may have the side-effect of disconnecting the SIP call, it is also possible that the call signaling, media or both may stay up (depending on the type of call being made). The call will not actually disconnect until the SIP endpoints involved have also cleared their resources.
