SIP Server

Add SIP Server

The SIP Server page shows all of the SIP servers added to GDMS.

Server Name	Specifies an identity name for the SIP server. (Required)
SIP Server	This is a necessary option. Specifies the URL or IP address, and port of the SIP server. This should be provided by the VoIP service provider (ITSP).
Outbound Proxy	Configures the IP address or the domain name of the primary outbound proxy, media gateway, or session border controller. It is used by the phone for firewall or NAT penetration in different network environments. If a symmetric NAT is detected, STUN will not work and only an outbound proxy can provide a solution.
Secondary Outbound Proxy	Sets the IP address or domain name of the secondary outbound proxy, media gateway, or session border controller. The phone system will try to connect the Secondary outbound proxy only if the primary outbound proxy fails.
Voice Mail Access Number	Sets if the phone system allows users to access the voice messages by pressing the MESSAGE key on the phone. This ID is usually the VM portal access number. For example, in UCM6xxx IPPBX, *97 could be used.
DNS Mode	Defines which DNS service will be used to look up the IP address for the SIP server’s hostname. There are three modes: A Record SRV NATPTR/SRV To locate the server by DNS SRV set this option to “SRV” or “NATPTR/SRV”.
NAT Traversal	Specifies which NAT traversal mechanism will be enabled on the phone system. It can be selected from the dropdown list: NAT NO STUN Keep-alive UPnP Auto VPN If the outbound proxy is configured and used, it can be set to “NAT NO”. If set to “STUN” and the STUN server is configured, the phone system will periodically send a STUN message to the STUN server to get the public IP address of its NAT environment and keep the NAT port open. STUN will not work if the NAT is a symmetric type. If set to “Keep-alive”, the phone system will send the STUN packets to maintain the connection that is first established during the registration of the phone. The “Keep-alive” packets will fool the NAT device into keeping the connection open and this allows the host server to send SIP requests directly to the registered phone. If it needs to use OpenVPN to connect to the host server, it needs to set it to “VPN”. If the firewall and the SIP device behind the firewall are both able to use UPnP, it can be set to “UPnP”. Both parties will negotiate to use of which port to allow SIP through.
Proxy-Require	Adds the Proxy-Required header in the SIP message. It is used to indicate proxy-sensitive features that must be supported by the proxy. Do not configure this parameter unless this feature is supported on the SIP server.
Additional Settings	Users could add the custom fields below. Some custom fields are only available for certain device models: Secondary SIP Server Failover SIP Server Prefer Primary SIP Server Primary IP Backup IP 1 Backup IP 2 DNS SRV Failover Mode Use NAT IP SIP Diff-Serv RTP Diff-Serv Tel URI For detailed filling rules, please refer to the User Guide of the devices.

Upon adding the SIP server, it will appear in the SIP Server list. Entries in the list can be edited or deleted.

Edit SIP Server

Users can edit SIP server information by clicking on the button for the desired SIP server. Changes to the server will affect all associated SIP accounts.
