Last Updated : Sep 29, 2026 |
Prolog information
  1. Ensure that the call originator is SIP.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    If the call originator is not SIP, Communication Manager does not apply SIP Early Direct Media to the call.
  2. Set the Direct IP-IP Audio Connections and Initial IP-IP Direct Media fields in the SIP signalling group screen of the originating SIP User Agent to y.
  3. Ensure that the call-originating party does not have a call on hold.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Note:
    If you do not meet with the prerequisites for SIP Early Direct Media, Communication Manager allocates media processors and shuffles the call after the connection is established.
