This chapter rst describes the various options for conguration of the SIP voice service. It then provides detailed instructions for making
telephone calls using VoIP (Voice over IP) or PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) services
5.1 SIP
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a peer-to-peer protocol used for Internet conferencing, telephony, events notication, presence and
instant messaging.
SIP is designed to address the functions of signalling and session management within a packet telephony network. Signalling allows call
information to be carried across network boundaries. Session management provides the ability to control the attributes of an end-to-end
call.
The SIP standard denes the following agents/servers:
1. User Agents (UA) - SIP phone clients (hardware or software)
2. Proxy Server – relays data between UA and external servers
3. Registrar Server - a server that accepts register requests from UA
4. Redirect Server – provides an address lookup service to UA
NOTE: The SIP standard is set by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
The following subsections present Basic, Advanced and Debug SIP screens. Each screen provides various options for customizing the SIP
conguration.
