Registration
Note that registration only occurs when the SIP Routing mode
page 216 is set to "Server".
Registration is the process by which centralized SIP Server/Registrars be-
come aware of the existence and readiness of an endpoint to make and
receive calls. The phone supports a number of configuration parameters to
allow this to happen.
Registration can be authenticated or un-authenticated depending on how
the server and phone is configured. For unauthenticated registration the
following parameters must be set on the phone:
•
Terminal number
•
SIP Routing
page 216 set to "Server".
•
SIP Server/Registrar address
host name).
In this mode the server must pre-authenticate the user. This procedure is
server specific and is not described here.
The phone supports the Digest authentication scheme and requires the
following parameters to be configured in addition to those for unauthenti-
cated registration:
•
SIP user ID
page 218.
•
SIP Password
•
SIP Realm (optional)
For authentication to work the server must have created an account for the
user with matching user ID, password and Realm parameters.
Note a challenge from the server for authentication information is
not only restricted to the REGISTER message but can also occur in
response to other SIP messages eg INVITE.
