Guidelines for registering Entry Queues and SIP Factories
with SIP Servers
● The Entry Queue or SIP Factory must be added to the Active Directory as a User.
● SIP Registration must be enabled in the Profile assigned to the Entry Queue or SIP Factory. For more
information see

Monitoring Registration Status

The SIP registration status can be viewed in the Entry Queue or SIP Factory list panes.
The following statuses are displayed:
● Not configured - Registration with the SIP Server was not enabled in the Conference Profile assigned
to the Entry Queue or SIP Factory.
When SIP registration is not enabled in the conference profile, the Collaboration Server's registering
to SIP Servers will each register with an URL derived from its own signaling address. In Collaboration
Server 2000/4000, this unique URL replaces the non-unique URL, dummy_tester, used in previous
versions.
● Failed - Registration with the SIP Server failed.
This may be due to incorrect definition of the SIP server in the IP Network Service, or the SIP Server
may be down, or any other reason the affects the connection between the Collaboration Server or the
SIP Server to the network.
● Registered - The conferencing entity is registered with the SIP Server.
● Partially Registered - This status is available only in Multiple Networks configuration, when the
conferencing entity failed to register to all the required Network Services, if more than one Network
Service was selected for Registration.

Ad Hoc Conferencing

The Entry Queue can also be used for Ad Hoc conferencing. If the Ad Hoc option is enabled for the Entry
Queue, when the participant enters the target conference ID the system checks whether a conference with
that ID is already running on the MCU. If not, the system automatically creates a new ongoing conference
with that ID. The conference parameters are based on the Profile linked to the Entry Queue. As opposed to
Meeting Rooms, that are predefined conferences saved on the MCU, Ad Hoc conferences are not stored
