Description

Transport
Protocol

Indicates the protocol the system uses for SIP signaling.

The SIP network infrastructure in which your Polycom QDX
6000 system is operating determines which protocol is required.

Auto enables an automatic negotiation of protocols in the
following order: TLS, TCP, UDP. This is the recommended
setting for most environments.

TCP provides reliable transport via TCP for SIP signaling.

UDP provides best-effort transport via UDP for SIP signaling.

TLS provides secure communication of the SIP signaling. TLS is
available only when the system is registered with a SIP server
that supports TLS. When you choose this setting, the system
ignores TCP/UDP port 5060.

Authentication
Name

Specifies the name to use for authentication when registering
with a SIP Registrar Server. If you leave this field blank, the User
Name is used for authentication.

User Name

Specifies the system’s SIP name. If you leave this field blank,
the system’s IP address is the SIP user name.

Password

Specifies the password that authenticates the system to the
Registrar Server.

Registrar
Server

Specifies the DNS name or IP address of the SIP Registrar
Server.

By default, the SIP signaling is sent to port 5060 on the registrar
server. To specify a different port, add it to the address as shown
here:

10.11.12.13:5070

If you leave this field blank, the Proxy Server address is used.

Proxy Server

Specifies the DNS name or IP address of the SIP Proxy Server.
If you leave this field blank, the Registrar Server is used. If you
leave both fields blank, no Proxy Server is used.

By default, the SIP signaling is sent to port 5060 on the proxy
server. To specify a different port, add it to the address as shown
here:

10.11.12.13:5070
