TalkSwitch Profile tab
Use this tab to configure a TalkSwitch VoIP network.
TalkSwitch has a built-in IP server proxy/registrar/redirect. This facilitates
the configuration and maintenance for multi-branch and telework
applications.
A multi-location TalkSwitch system requires that one (and only one) unit be
configured to act as the SIP server (Redirect Proxy/Registrar). For
information on the SIP server, see
5.3.2 Select which TalkSwitch to use as the
SIP network server
on page 160.
This TalkSwitch location is the Proxy/Registrar:
If this location is designated to be the proxy/registrar server, click this
checkbox. When it is enabled and other IP devices are registered with
this system, any calls made within the group contact this device to
resolve the destination location. Once the destination is resolved, the
call is made directly from the source to the destination location.
The TalkSwitch registrar supports
digest
authentication. The digest
mechanism is a challenge/response protocol in which the client presents
its credentials in response to a challenge from the server. This method of
authentication is very secure. To enable authentication, select
yes
(digest)
from the drop-down list under registrar authentication. Using
authentication will allow only authorized devices to access the network.
Proxy Server Name:
If this location is acting as the proxy server, it is filled in automatically.
If this location is not the proxy server, enter the IP address or domain
name associated to the proxy server. If the server is using a different port
number than the default, specify the port number after a colon at the
end of the domain or IP address.
Example:
222.234.432.234:5061
Registrar Server Name:
If this location is acting as the registrar server, it is filled in
automatically.
If this location is not the registrar server, enter the IP address or domain
name associated to the registrar server. If a TalkSwitch 48-CVA is acting
as the server, both the proxy server location and the registrar server
location fields should have the same information. If the server is using a
different port number than the default, specify the port number after a
colon at the end of the domain or IP address.
Example:
VoIP.domain.com:5061
