Configuring Proxy and Registration Parameters

The Proxy & Registration page allows you to configure the Proxy server and registration
parameters. For a description of the parameters appearing on this page, see
''Configuration Parameters Reference'' on page 803. To configure Proxy servers (Proxy
Sets), see ''Configuring Proxy Sets'' on page 363.
Note: To view the registration status of endpoints with a SIP Registrar/Proxy server,
see ''Viewing Registration Status'' on page 722.

To configure the Proxy and registration parameters:
1. Open the Proxy & Registration page (Setup menu > Signaling & Media tab > SIP
Definitions folder > Proxy & Registration).
2. Configure the parameters as required.
3. Click Apply.

To register or un-register the device to a Proxy/Registrar:

Click the Register button to register.


Accounts - Accounts table (see ''Configuring Registration Accounts'' on page 377)

18.2.1 SIP Message Authentication Example

The device supports basic and digest (MD5) authentication types, according to SIP RFC
3261. A proxy server might require authentication before forwarding an INVITE message. A
Registrar/Proxy server may also require authentication for client registration. A proxy
replies to an unauthenticated INVITE with a 407 Proxy Authorization Required response,
containing a Proxy-Authenticate header with the form of the challenge. After sending an
ACK for the 407, the user agent can then re-send the INVITE with a Proxy-Authorization
header containing the credentials.
User agents, Redirect or Registrar servers typically use the SIP 401 Unauthorized
response to challenge authentication containing a WWW-Authenticate header, and expect
the re-INVITE to contain an Authorization header.
The following example shows the Digest Authentication procedure, including computation
of user agent credentials:
1. The REGISTER request is sent to a Registrar/Proxy server for registration:
