Parameter |
Description |
Call Agent signaling type | The type of signaling used by this subscriber's telephone to connect to the NE. This field appears only if Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Values:
|
Flash-hook call services provided by | This field applies only to Individual Lines and Business Group Lines. This field is visible only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP.
Specifies whether this SIP subscriber can flash-hook, and use Call Services provided by the MetaSwitch NE that require a flash-hook (such as Call Waiting). Values:
|
Fault monitoring level | This field is valid only in the US. |
Use DN for identification | Specifies whether the subscriber registers using their directory number instead of a textual user name. This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP. Values:
|
SIP domain name | The SIP subscriber's domain name. This field appears, and must be supplied, only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP and Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Set this field to match the domain name configured on the SIP device; typically this is a DNS hostname that resolves to the MetaSwitch NE's virtual IP address, or the IP address of a Session Border Controller through which the device accesses the NE. |
Maximum simultaneous registrations | This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP. The maximum number of SIP devices that can register at the same time using this subscriber's details. See the description of SIP Call Forking in the Call Services Manual for more information. Choose Use default or specify a value in the range 1 - 32. A value of 1 means that the subscriber can have only one device registered at a time. If you allow multiple registrations, by specifying a value greater than 1, the subscriber must not use the Personal Communication Manager service (specified in the child Personal Communication Manager Service object) or flash-hook call services provided by MetaSwitch (specified in the field Flash-hook call services provided by). |
Media Gateway Model | The Media Gateway Model used by this subscriber. This field appears, and must be supplied, only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP and Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Choose Use default or enter the name of a SIP Media Gateway Model. To indicate that the Media Gateway Model should be selected by matching against the SIP User Agent string provided when the SIP device registers with the MetaSwitch NE, enter the string Derived from SIP User Agent. If you change the Media Gateway Model for a subscriber who is already in a call, this call continues using the existing model. The new model is used from the start of the subscriber's next call. |
SIP authentication required | Specifies whether this subscriber uses SIP authentication (and must supply authentication parameters in SIP signaling messages). This field appears, and must be supplied, only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP. |
