Editing a SIP account

Lets you open and edit a SIP account. An SIP account is required for each SIP access. For each SIP provider you can set up several SIP accounts and therefore several accesses.

The SIP accounts are used to register with an SIP provider. As a rule each user has his own SIP account, which is assigned to him through the dialling-in number. It is also possible for several users to make outgoing calls through a single SIP account, i.e. via the default account. One (1) default account can be set up for each SIP provider.

The Add an SIP account overlay view provides only the main settings. In the table below, these settings are marked with an asterisk after their name.

Table 1. General
Parameter	Remarks
SIP provider*	The SIP account is assigned to this SIP provider profile.
SIP account*	Identification number of the SIP account (system-side).
Name*	Name of the SIP account (system-side).
Display name	Name of the SIP account at the SIP provider. With some SIP providers this entry is mandatory; with others it is optional. The SIP ID is often used.
SIP ID*	Identification number of the SIP account at the SIP provider.
User name*	User name of the SIP account at the SIP provider. This parameter is to be specified only if the SIP provider requires authentication.
Password* / Password confirmation*	Password with the SIP provider

Table 2. Registration
Parameter	Remarks
Registration required	The communication server tries to register with the SIP provider. The SIP provider is then informed about the SIP user’s current location.
Registered	Operator console status
Default account	The default account allows users without SIP account to make calls via the SIP trunk.
Registers when offline on	With this parameter you define which satellite in offline mode will use this SIP account. Explanation: In a AIN all SIP calls are handled by the master. This means that the master performs SIP registration for all SIP provider accounts. When a satellite goes offline, the satellite must be able to register the own SIP accounts to the same SIP provider, so that the users on this satellite can still make external calls. To enable this, the master must de-register from all SIP provider accounts that the satellite will use.

Table 3. Presentation
Parameter	Remarks
DDI(DID) number	The system-internal dialling-in number links the SIP account with the internal call destinations defined in the direct dialling plan. The number must be created and configured in the direct dialling plan.
‘From’ field: Type	Here you define what information is to be entered as call identification for outgoing calls. SIP ID: The caller ID displayed to the called party is based on the SIP ID. DDI(DID) number: The caller ID displayed to the called party is based on DDI number. System CLIP: The caller ID displayed to the called party is based on the system-wide setting for the caller ID presentation. User defined: The caller ID displayed to the called party when making outbound calls from the SIP-DECT device.
‘From’ field: String	Enter here the call identification you want if you selected ’From’-Field: Type = User defined.

The user CLIP is also given in the 'P-Preferred-Identity' field (default value).
