SIP Factories
A SIP Factory is a conferencing entity that enables SIP endpoints to create Ad Hoc
conferences. The system is shipped with a default SIP Factory, named DefaultFactory.
When a SIP endpoint calls the SIP Factory URI, a new conference is automatically created
based on the Profile parameters, and the endpoint joins the conference.
The SIP Factory URI must be registered with the SIP server to enable routing of calls to the
SIP Factory. To ensure that the SIP factory is registered, the option to register Factories must
be selected in the Default IP Network Service.
The maximum of number of SIP Factories that can be defined is:
• RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 — 40
• RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 2000 — 40
• RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 4000 — 80
Creating SIP Factories
To create a new SIP Factory:
1 In the RMX Management - Rarely Used pane, click SIP Factories.
2 In the SIP Factories list pane, click the New SIP Factory button.
The New Factory dialog box opens.
The default SIP Factory uses the conferencing ID 7001. If a SIP Factory is being used do not assign
this ID to any conferencing entity, including conferences, reservations, and meeting rooms.
