This menu displays phones that have previously been registered but are now blocked from re-registering because another phone has subsequently registered using the same registration parameters. This blocked state is called 'quarantined'. This menu is supported from Release 10.1.

Figure : 1. Quarantined Phones




For example, when a user who has an already registered SIP phone registers another SIP phone using the same parameters, their previous phone may automatically attempt to reregister itself. In that case, even though the previous phone is presenting correct registration details, its registration is blocked and it is quarantined.

The default quarantine time is 5 minutes. However, if the phone keeps on trying to reregister, its quarantine time is extended. Most phones eventually cease attempting to automatically re-register.

Quarantining is treated separately from blacklisting since the phone has been previously registered with correct authentication parameters.
