Initial Configuration of the XT Series
The XT Series can function in a SIP environment, where aliases are managed by SIP servers, not
gatekeepers. You can dial an endpoint by entering its alias like 1234 or joe_smith, rather than
remembering its IP address, where the SIP server routes the call correctly. To do this, the SIP
server must register all endpoints to maintain the mapping list of aliases and endpoints to
successfully route calls.
If your organization has a redundant SIP deployment, you can register the XT Series to as many as
three SIP servers, as described below. If your default SIP server fails, the XT Series automatically
uses the alternate SIP server.
Since older models of Cisco or BroadSoft do not support dual layouts (BFCP), you can only send
videoconference layouts alongside a computer presentation if your videoconferencing deployment
supports optimized presentation layouts, which use one stream for both video and presentation.
This is enabled by default on XT Seriesendpoints, as described in Configuring Presentation Layouts
for Single-Screen Endpoints). If you disabled this feature, you can either send shared content or the
video, but not both. For older BroadSoft models, controlling remote cameras is also not supported
(H.224 is disabled).
Before you begin
Verify that you have the following information about your SIP environment:
• The DNS name or IP address of the SIP server. You can define up to three servers.
• The transport protocol and port used in your SIP environment.
• (Optional) The model of the SIP server.
• For the SIP infrastructure that requires a SIP user authentication, credentials for authenticating
XT Series to the SIP server.
If configuring from the endpoint, you must first enable advanced configuration, as described in
Enabling Advanced Maintenance on the XT Series
Procedure
1. Access the SIP settings. From the XT Series web interface, select Administrator Settings >
Protocols > SIP. From the endpoint's main menu, select Configure > Advanced >
Protocols > SIP.
