IP Call Control Module Specific Settings


Maximum SIP Sessions:
[sip_max_sessions] This parameter specifies the maximum number of concurrent session initiation protocol (SIP) call control sessions. Set this value to a number that at least doubles the number of channels in the system because the system can be tearing down a call while processing the next call.

Primary Gateway:
[sip_default_gateway] This parameter specifies the IP address of a default gateway to use for outbound calls. If a user only specifies a phone number when making a SIP call and the application is not using a SIP proxy server, the API forwards the call to the gateway specified with this parameter. The API forwards the specified phone number to the gateway for routing purposes. When set, this parameter must contain an IP address of type IPv4, IPv6, or Hostname in the form: IP address:Port Number The API does not use this parameter if the configuration file specifies a sip_registration_server or sip_proxy_server.

Additional SIP Gateway #2:
[sip_gateway2] This parameter specifies the SIP Gateway 2 URL.

Additional SIP Gateway #3:
[sip_gateway3] This parameter specifies the SIP Gateway 3 URL.

Additional SIP Gateway #4:
[sip_gateway4] This parameter specifies the SIP Gateway 4 URL.

Primary Proxy Server:
[sip_proxy_server1] This parameter specifies the SIP proxy server 1 URL.

Additional Proxy Server #2:
[sip_proxy_server2] This parameter specifies the SIP proxy server 2 URL.

Additional Proxy Server #3:
[sip_proxy_server3] This parameter specifies the SIP proxy server 3 URL.

Additional Proxy Server #4:
[sip_proxy_server4] This parameter specifies the SIP proxy server 4 URL.

Primary Registrar Server URL:
[sip_registration_server1] This parameter specifies the SIP registration server 1 URL.

Additional Registrar Server #2:
[sip_registration_server2] This parameter specifies the SIP registration server 2 URL.

Additional Registrar Server #3:
[sip_registration_server3] This parameter specifies the SIP registration server 3 URL.

Additional Registrar Server #4:
[sip_registration_server4] This parameter specifies the SIP registration server 4 URL.

From Value:
[sip_From] This parameter specifies the value provided in the SIP header for the From parameter. The From parameter contains a display name and a SIP uniform resource identifier (URI) or SIPS (secure SIP) URI that identifies the originator of the session request.

Contact IPv4 Address:
[sip_Contact] This parameter specifies the value provided in the SIP header for the Contact parameter. The Contact parameter contains a SIP uniform resource identifier (URI) or SIPS (secure SIP) URI that defines the address of the sender. When this parameter is set to its default value ( sip_Contact=0.0.0.0 ), the SIP stack uses the IPv4 address of the local host and port 5060. If the host has not registered its host name, the SIP initialization process will fail and SIP calls will not be processed. To process SIP calls in this case, the value in the sip_Contact parameter must be specifically set to an IPv4 address of one of the host network interface boards with an optional name pre-pended. When set, this parameter must contain an IPv4 address in the form: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:PortNumber or username@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:PortNumber. This parameter is ignored when the parameter IP Interface For SIP [sip_ip_interface] is set.

Username:
[sip_username] This parameter specifies the name inserted into the o= line in the SIP session description protocol (SDP). The o= line defines the owner or creator of the session and the session identifier. This value must not contain spaces. A dash or hyphen character indicates the absence of an owner name or session ID.

Session Name:
[sip_session_name] This parameter specifies the value used for the s= line in the SIP SDP. The s= line provides a textual string that gives a name to the session.

Session Description:
[sip_session_description] This parameter specifies the value used for the i= line in the SIP SDP. The i= line provides a textual string that describes the session’s purpose or provides information about the session.

Description URI:
[sip_description_URI] This parameter specifies the value used for the u= line in the SIP SDP. The u= line identifies the SIP uniform resource identifier (URI) of the session description.

Email Address:
[sip_email] This parameter specifies the value used for the e= line in the SIP SDP. The e= line identifies the email address of the person or entity responsible for the session.

Phone Number:
[sip_phone] This parameter specifies the value used for the p= line in the SIP SDP. The p= line identifies the phone number to associate with the session. Phone numbers use the conventional international format: the number preceded by a + (plus symbol), the country code and a space or hyphen character. For example: +1 408-370-0881

Maximum Forwards:
[sip_Max-Forwards] This parameter specifies the value provided in the SIP header for the Max-Forwards parameter. The value in the Max-Forwards parameter serves to prevent loops by limiting the number of hops a SIP request can make on the way to its destination. The value consists of an integer that the system decrements by one at each hop. When this value reaches 0, the system discards the request.

The Contact parameter contains a SIP uniform resource identifier (URI) or SIPS (secure SIP) URI that defines the IPv6 address of the sender.

If the host has not registered its host name, the SIP initialization process will fail and SIP calls will not be processed. To process SIP calls in this case, the value in the sip_ContactV6 parameter must be set to an IPv6 address of one of the host network interface boards with an optional name pre-pended. When set, this parameter must contain an IPv6 address in the form: [%]:PortNumber or username@[%]:PortNumber. This parameter is ignored when the parameter IP Interface for SIP [sip_ip_interfaceV6] is set.

Set the parameter as follows: 0 - Causes the system to use the original calling party number as the number reported to the application. 1 - Causes the system to use the redirect number as the calling party number reported to the application. Selecting this option removes any association between the original calling party number and the call.

T1 Timeout Retransmission:
[sip_T1_timeout] This parameter sets the INVITE retransmit timeout (ms) and doubles after every retransmission. The estimated round-trip time (RTT).

Maximum INVITE Retransmissions:
[sip_max_invite_retransmissions] This parameter sets the maximum number of INVITE request transmissions. A call will terminate after the INVITE has been transmitted this many times. If no response is received after T1 Timeout Retransmission [sip_T1_timeout], the INVITE will be retransmitted at an interval of double the previous timeout.

Redirect As Called Party:
[sip_redirect_as_called_party] Specifies whether or not to report the redirect number as the called party number to the application. Set the parameter as follows: 0 - Causes the system to use the original called party number as the number reported to the application. 1 - Causes the system to use the redirect number as the called party number reported to the application. Selecting this option removes any association between the original called party number and the call.

Response code for Call Not Answered:
[sip_reject_call_not_answered] This parameter specifies the SIP response code to transmit when an inbound SIP call is received and a call is not answered by the application. This can occur when all channels are busy, when a call is completed but the application has not restarted ring detection or when the Boston Host Service has been started and a call arrives before the application is started.

Response code for Unsupported Media:
[sip_reject_unsupported_media] This parameter specifies the SIP response code to transmit when an inbound SIP INVITE is received and the SDP doesn't contain any supported media types.

Response code to reject T.38 renegotiation:
[sip_reject_t38_renegotiation] This parameter specifies the SIP response code to transmit when an inbound SIP INVITE is received that specifies a codec of T.38 in the SDP and the Fax Transporting Protocol parameter [fax_transport_protocol] is set to G.711 pass-through only (i.e. t38_never).
