DESCRIPTION

Enable SIP

SIP is a signaling protocol used in VoIP (Voice over IP), the sending of voice signals

over Internet Protocol. Turn on the SIP ALG to allow SIP sessions to pass through

 

the ZyWALL.

 

Using the SIP ALG allows you to use bandwidth management on SIP traffic.

SIP Media

Use this field to set how many seconds (1~86400) the ZyWALL will allow a SIP

inactivity time

session to remain idle (without voice traffic) before dropping it.

out

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).

 

 

Enable H.323

H.323 is a protocol used for audio communications over networks.
