When a SIP phone user receives a call, they can answer the call and speak to the visitor or redirect the call
to another SIP phone before answering the call. If the call is answered, you will no longer be able to redirect
the call. If the visitor is approved to enter, the user can use their DTMF code to grant door access. For more
information, see
SIP Server Configuration
SIP server configuration allows for more flexibility on setting up Video Intercom SIP calling. SIP servers are
also called PBX servers. You can use the PBX server to set up call redirecting if the main SIP number is busy,
as well as other options that are available from connecting to the PBX server. If the operator that usually
answers a Video Intercom call is away, the extension can easily be changed to call another phone in the
PBX domain.
Note:
To use the Video Intercom with your PBX server, your server administrator will have to add
and register the Video Intercom device to the PBX server. The username, authentication ID, and
other information from the PBX server will be required when configuring the SIP Server Settings.
A PBX, or SIP, server usually includes proxy, registrar, and redirect functionality. Proxies route the calls and
provide additional logic to incoming calls. Registrars accept SIP device registration requests and act as a
location service for the SIP domain. Redirect servers redirect the client to contact an alternative SIP address.
