View SIP Connection page field descriptions

Last Updated : Jun 05, 2026 |

Use this page to view an existing Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) connection and a list of additional proxy server addresses added to the same SIP connection.

If MPP is installed with the Avaya Experience Portal system, this page contains the:

General section

Column

Description

Zone

The name of the zone where the H.323 connection is configured.

Name

The unique identifier for this SIP connection on the Experience Portal system.

Enable

Whether this SIP connection is available for use by the Experience Portal system.

Proxy Transport

The IP Protocol used by the SIP connection.

The options are:

  • TCP

  • TLS

Proxy Servers and DNS SRV Domain section

Field

Description

Address

The address of the proxy server used to place outbound calls.

This field is enabled only when you select the Proxy Server option.

Port

The port used by the proxy server.

This field is enabled only when you select the Proxy Server option.

Priority

When you configure more than one proxy server, this field determines the order in which outbound calls are sent to the list of proxy servers.

This field is enabled only when you select the Proxy Server option.

Weight

When you add more than one proxy server with the same priority value, this field determines the relative chances of which proxy server is used for an outbound call. The proxy server with the highest weight has the greatest odds of receiving a call.

For example, if proxy servers 1 and 2 are assigned a priority of 1, and weight of 4 and 6 respectively, then proxy server 1 has a 40% (4/(4+6)) chance of receiving a call while proxy server 2 has a 60% (6/(4+6)) chance.

This field is enabled only when you select the Proxy Server option.

DNS Server Domain

This is the domain name under which the SIP proxy list is configured in the DNS server.

This field is enabled only when you select the DNS Server Domain option.

Listener Port

The port used by the Listener.

The default for TCP is 5060, and the default for TLS is 5061.

SIP Domain

The domain in which the SIP connection is configured. The SIP domain must match the domain name of the connected proxy (that is the domain name in SIP URIs for incoming calls).

* (asterisk) means that all calls are routed to this trunk.

P-Asserted-Identity

The assumed identity used to determine the service class and the restriction permissions class for the SIP connection.

Maximum Redirection Attempts

The number of redirection attempts allowed before the call is considered to have failed. The MPP redirects a call when it receives a 302 response code from an INVITE request. This response code indicates that the endpoint which received the call has moved to another location, and the call should be redirected to the new location. The call continues to be redirected till either no further 302 response is received or the retry count is exhausted.

Consultative Transfer

If a connection cannot be established, Consultative Transfer allows Avaya Experience Portal to regain control of the call.

The following options determine the SIP messages used for a VXML Consultative Transfer:

  • INVITE with REPLACES: When Avaya Experience Portal receives INVITE with REPLACES in the SIP message, it establishes a secondary call to the transfer destination to:
    • Determine availability

    • Ensure that the destination answers within the established timeout

    The secondary call is then merged with the primary call that is being transferred. Avaya Experience Portal sends a request to the transferee for an INVITE message with a Replaces header that contains the information necessary to take control over the primary call. Avaya Experience Portal controls the progress of the call in case the response of the second call is not positive.
  • REFER: With this option, the transferee determines the entire process of establishing the new call to the transfer destination. If the transfer destination is unavailable or does not respond to the call, the transferee sends the call to Avaya Experience Portal.

SIP Reject Response Code

The response code that is sent to a SIP proxy when all SIP resources for an MPP are in use.

The options are:

  • ASM (503): Sends a request to ASM to call another MPP that might be available.

  • SES (480): Sends a request to SES to call another MPP that might be available.

  • Custom: Allows custom response codes to be set for interoperability with other proxies and media gateways that might require a different response code to initiate a similar operation as stated above.

Timer (millisecond(s)) section

Field

Description

T1

Timer T1 is a general estimate of the maximum round trip time for SIP packets between the MPP and the proxy. It is used to determine the minimum retransmit interval for SIP messages.

T2

Timer T2 is the maximum retransmit interval for SIP messages. The T1 and T2 values are used together in an algorithm that backs off message retransmits in case of congestion.

B and F

Timers B and F are the transaction timeouts for INVITE and non-INVITE requests, respectively. They determine the amount of wait time before a SIP request is aborted, when no response is received.

Call Capacity section

Column

Description

Maximum Simultaneous Calls

The maximum number of calls that this trunk can handle at one time.

Call type radio buttons

The options are:

  • All Calls can be either inbound or outbound: This connection accepts any number of inbound or outbound calls up to the maximum number of calls defined in Maximum Simultaneous Calls.

  • Configure number of inbound and outbound calls allowed: If this option is selected, Experience Portal displays the fields:

    • Inbound Calls Allowed: Enter the maximum number of simultaneous inbound calls allowed. This value must be less than or equal to the number of Maximum Simultaneous Calls.

    • Outbound Calls Allowed: Enter the maximum number of simultaneous outbound calls allowed. This value must be less than or equal to the number of Maximum Simultaneous Calls.

    The combined number of inbound and outbound calls must be equal to or greater than the number of Maximum Simultaneous Calls.

Configured SRTP List group

This group displays any SRTP configurations defined for the connection.

Note:

This group only appears if the Proxy Transport field is set to TLS.
