Configuring SIP
The codec is fully EBU N/ACIP Tech 3326 compliant when connecting using SIP (Session Initiation
Protocol) to other brands of IP codecs. For more background on SIP connections and the
differences between registered and unregistered peer-to-peer SIP connections see
About SIP .
To configure the codec to dial over SIP using a SIP Server you will need to:
1. Register the codec to a SIP server using SIP account credentials.
2. Configure a SIP interface in the codec. Note: This
SIP1 or SIP2 interface will include the
proxy and port settings, as well as the selected IP interface used to make the connection,
e.g.
ETH1 or ETH2 .
3. Create a SIP program using the front panel via the Home screen , or create a SIP program
using the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI.
Important Notes:
· The codec supports dialing over SIP using a registered SIP server account, or peer-to-
peer using one of the two SIP interfaces
SIP1 and SIP 2 .
· SIP dialing is only supported over point-to-point connections.
· Some ISPs and/or cellular networks may block SIP traffic over UDP port 5060.
· Tieline G3 codecs do not support connections using algorithms like AAC, aptX
Enhanced and Opus and will default to MPEG Layer 2 if an incoming call is configured
to use these algorithms.
· Failover is not available with SIP and SmartStream PLUS redundant streaming is not
available with SIP or sessionless visit
