Configuring SIP Settings

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signaling protocol for Internet
conferencing.
Before you can make any SIP video calls, you must check the Enable SIP
setting on the Call Preferences screen, as described on page 3-20. You can then
configure the SIP settings by following the steps in this section.
If you are unfamiliar with SIP, Polycom recommends that you do not change
the default settings.
To configure the SIP settings if your network supports SIP:
1. Go to System > Admin Settings > Network > IP > SIP Settings.
2. Configure these settings:
Setting Description
Transport Indicates the protocol the system uses for SIP signaling.
Protocol
The SIP network infrastructure in which your V500 system is
operating determines which protocol is required. For example, if
your V500 system is operating in a Microsoft Live
Communication Server (LCS) SIP network, choose TCP. If your
V500 system is operating in a Nortel Multimedia Communication
Server (MCS) SIP network, choose UDP.
