Field Name Values Description
SIP Fields
Use Proxy Y/N Select if proxy server is used.
Transport
Protocol
TCP or
UDP
Voip administrator must choose
between UDP and TCP transmission
protocols. UDP is a high-speed,
low-overhead connectionless
protocol where data is transmitted
without acknowledgment,
guaranteed delivery, or guaranteed
packet sequence integrity. TCP is
slower connection-oriented protocol
with greater overhead, but having
acknowledgment and guarantees
delivery and packet sequence
integrity.
SIP Port
Number
5060 or other
*See RFC3087
(“Control of
Service Context
using SIP
Request-URI,”
by the Network
Working
Group).
The SIP Port Number is a
UDP logical port number.
The voip will “listen” for SIP
messages at this logical port.
If SIP is used, 5060 is the
default, standard, or “well
known” port number to be
used. If 5060 is not used,
then the port number used is
that specified in the SIP
Request URI (Universal
Resource Identifier).
SIP URL sip.userphone
@
hostserver,
where
“userphone” is
the telephone
number and
“hostserver”is
the domain
name or an
address on the
network
Looking similar to an email
address, a SIP URL
identifies a user's address.
In SIP communications, each
caller or callee is identified
by a SIP url:
sip:user_name@host_name.
The format of a sip url is very
similar to an email address,
except that the “sip:“ prefix is
used.
