Select this check box to allow SIP sessions to pass through the ZyWALL. SIP is a

SIP Timeout

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

 

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

 

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 (default 60 minutes), the ZyWALL SIP ALG drops any

 

incoming calls after the timeout period. Enter the SIP signaling session timeout

 

value.
