Description
Cisco SIP IP phone A sends a SIP INVITE request to the
SIP proxy server. The INVITE request is an invitation to
User B to participate in a call session.
In the INVITE request:
The phone number of User B is inserted in the
•
Request-URI field in the form of a SIP URL. The SIP
URL identifies the address of User B and takes a form
similar to an email address (user@host where user is
the telephone number and host is either a domain name
or a numeric network address). For example, the
Request-URI field in the INVITE request to User B
appears as "INVITE sip:555-0002@companyb.com;
user=phone." The "user=phone" parameter
distinquishes that the Request-URI address is a
telephone number rather than a user name.
Cisco SIP IP phone A is identified as the call session
•
initiator in the From field.
• A unique numeric identifier is assigned to the call and
is inserted in the Call-ID field.
• The transaction number within a single call leg is
identified in the CSeq field.
• The media capability User A is ready to receive is
specified.
SIP proxy server sends a SIP 407 Authentication Error
response to Cisco SIP IP phone A.
Cisco SIP IP phone A sends a SIP ACK to the SIP proxy
server acknowledging the 407 error message.
Cisco SIP IP phone A resends a SIP INVITE to the SIP
proxy server with authentication credentials.
