This step is mandatory.
Enter the following information.
Parameter |
Description |
Name | A text string used in the EMS System Explorer to identify this Configured SIP Binding. Specify a string of up to 64 characters. |
Customer information | A text field that can be used to store information about the Configured SIP Binding, for example the address of the customer associated with it. This field is optional; you can supply up to 64 characters of free-form text. The text wraps to the width of the field on screen, or you can use the Enter key to force linebreaks. The total contents of all six Customer information fields must not exceed 164 characters. |
Customer information 2 | A text field that can be used to store additional information about the Configured SIP Binding. This field is optional; you can supply up to 32 characters of free-form text. The total contents of all six Customer information fields must not exceed 164 characters. |
Customer information 3 | A text field that can be used to store additional information about the Configured SIP Binding. This field is optional; you can supply up to 32 characters of free-form text. The total contents of all six Customer information fields must not exceed 164 characters. |
Customer information 4 | A text field that can be used to store additional information about the Configured SIP Binding. This field is optional; you can supply up to 32 characters of free-form text. The total contents of all six Customer information fields must not exceed 164 characters. |
Customer information 5 | A text field that can be used to store additional information about the Configured SIP Binding. This field is optional; you can supply up to 32 characters of free-form text. The total contents of all six Customer information fields must not exceed 164 characters. |
Customer information 6 | A text field that can be used to store additional information about the Configured SIP Binding. This field is optional; you can supply up to 32 characters of free-form text. The total contents of all six Customer information fields must not exceed 164 characters. |
Use DN for identification | Specifies whether the SIP device is identified in outgoing SIP INVITE requests by its SIP user name or its directory number. Values:
|
Authentication required | Specifies whether this SIP device uses SIP authentication (and must supply authentication parameters in SIP signaling messages). Values:
|
SIP user name | The user name of the SIP device. This field must be specified if SIP authentication required is True or if Use DN for identification is False. Set this field to the user part of the SIP URI, not including the prefix or domain name. This is a string of 1 - 32 characters, which must not match any other SIP user name with the same domain name; the first character must be a letter (either uppercase or lowercase). Changing this value while there are any active calls may cause those calls to be dropped. If you change this field and SIP authentication required is True, you must fill in the New SIP password and Confirm new SIP password fields. |
SIP domain name | The SIP domain name of the SIP device. This field must be specified if SIP authentication required is True. Set this field to match the domain name configured on the SIP device; typically this is a DNS hostname that resolves to the MetaSwitch NE's virtual IP address, or the IP address of a Session Border Controller through which the device accesses the NE. Changing this value while there are any active calls may cause those calls to be dropped. If you change this field and SIP authentication required is True, you must fill in the New SIP password and Confirm new SIP password fields. |
New SIP password | The password that the SIP device uses for authentication. If you change SIP authentication required to True, or if you change the SIP user name or domain name, you must fill in this field. The password is not displayed in the EMS and you cannot view it, although you can change it to a new value if necessary. Specify a text string of 6 - 15 characters. Changing this value while there are any active calls may cause those calls to be dropped. |
Confirm new SIP password | If you change SIP authentication required to True, or if you change the SIP user name or domain name, you must fill in this field. To confirm that you have typed the new password correctly, type it again in this field. The characters you type must exactly match the characters you typed in the New SIP password field. |
Contact IP address | The IP address that the NE uses to contact this device. Specify a standard dotted-decimal IPv4 address. |
Contact IP port | The IP port number (0 - 65535) that the NE uses to contact this device. |
Proxy IP address | If the MetaSwitch NE communicates with the SIP device through a proxy (such as a Session Border Controller), this field specifies the IP address of the proxy. Specify a standard dotted-decimal IPv4 address. |
Proxy IP port | If the MetaSwitch NE communicates with the SIP device through a proxy (such as a Session Border Controller), this field specifies the IP port number (0 - 65535) used to communicate with the proxy. |
Transport protocol | The transport protocol used to send SIP requests to the device. Values:
|
Media Gateway model | The Remote Media Gateway model used by the SIP device. Click on the ellipsis symbol at the end of the field to select from all SIP Remote Media Gateway Models. |
Preferred location of Trunk Gateway | Specifies the location for Trunk / Access Gateways that should be used to route calls for this object where possible (to reduce unnecessary long-distance traffic when a call can be routed within the same location). Select from the displayed list of available Location objects or None (no location). |
