Managing SIP registrar properties

You can set registration expiration properties for the SIP registrar.

About this task

SIP provides a registrar that allows users to send their current locations for use by proxy servers. The SIP registrar accepts user requests and places the information it receives from those requests into the registration table. Registration is how media services learn the current location of a Sametime® user. Upon login, and at periodic intervals, the user sends registration messages to the SIP registrar application. These messages associate the user's SIP URI with the computer into which he is currently logged in. The registrar records this association, also called registration instance or a binding, to the registration table, where it can be used by the SIP proxy.

Follow these steps to set expiration properties for the SIP registrar.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console.
  2. Click Sametime System Console > Sametime Servers > SIP Proxies and Registrars.
  3. Click the Deployment Name of the SIP Proxy server.
