Configuring a SIP phone
If you have a SIP phone external station, you can configure its behavior and customize your SIP
URI, as follows:
1. Choose Tools > Options. The Options dialog box opens.
2. Click the Phone \ Station Features tab.
3. In Call Using, your company’s SIP dialing service should be selected. If your
company has more than one SIP dialing service, you can choose a different one here.
4. Under Phone’s SIP address, choose whether the phone is registered with Strata CS
or not, as follows:
Q Registered to SIP span. Choose this if your SIP phone is registered with Strata CS,
so that you can pick up the phone and dial Strata CS extensions directly. Select the
IP address of a Strata CS SIP span from the drop-down list. When you configure
your SIP phone, you should set the phone’s
SIP Server or Domain field to that IP
address.
In the Userinfo field, enter the userinfo portion of the user’s SIP URI (for example
“vwilliams” in “sip:vwilliams@www.vertical.com”). This field uniquely identifies
the phone on the Strata CS SIP span, so whatever text is specified here must also be
entered in the SIP phone's
Username field when you configure the phone.
Q SIP URI. Choose this method if your SIP phone is registered with a non-Strata CS
SIP service such as <www.broadvoice.com> or fwd.pulver.com, and you want to
receive calls from Strata CS too. Enter the phone’s SIP URI, for example,
“sip:518589@fwd.pulver.com.” Note that when using this option, calls from the
phone will be placed over the phone’s SIP service, not Strata CS, so you cannot dial
Strata CS extensions without first dialing the Strata CS Server's SIP span address.
5. Check Stutter dial tone to have the phone alert you to new voice messages by
stuttering the dial tone when you first pick up.
6. Check Disconnect when idle to have Strata CS hang up the trunk call immediately
whenever a call on the SIP phone ends.
For most SIP users, you should leave this field unchecked. In this state Strata CS
