Enable SIP

Turn on the SIP ALG to allow SIP sessions to pass through the ZyWALL. SIP is a

on SIP traffic.

If no voice packets go through the SIP ALG before the timeout period expires, the

 

ZyWALL deletes the audio session. You cannot hear anything and you will need to

 

make a new call to continue your conversation.

 

 

SIP Signaling

Most SIP clients have an “expire” mechanism indicating the lifetime of signaling

inactivity time

sessions. The SIP user agent sends registration packets to the SIP server

out

periodically and keeps the session alive in the ZyWALL.

 

If the SIP client does not have this mechanism and makes no calls during the

 

ZyWALL SIP timeout, the ZyWALL deletes the signaling session after the timeout

 

period. Enter the SIP signaling session timeout value (1~86400).
