Setting a subscription timeout for an external community

Setting a subscription timeout applies only to the presence capability when connecting to a community using the SIP for legacy Sametime® Gateway protocol. The subscription timeout cancels or re-subscribes a SIP-based presence session.

About this task

By default, the subscription timeout is set on the translation protocol only. You can set the same property on an external community, allowing fine-grained control on a community basis. If the property is defined for a community, the community value takes precedence over the translation protocol value.

Subscription timeout applies to only to the SIP for legacy Sametime Gateway translation protocol. The subscription timeout does not apply to VP or other protocols.

Expected state:
  • Single server: the Sametime Gateway Server is started.
  • Cluster: the deployment manager is started, and the node agent and Sametime Gateway Server are started on at least one node.

Procedure

  1. In the Integrated Solutions Console, click Sametime Gateway > Communities.
  2. Select a community that uses SIP for legacy Sametime Gateway to view the community properties.
  3. Click Custom Properties.
  4. If this is the first time you are setting the subscription timeout at the community level, click New, otherwise click subscription_timeout to edit the custom property.
  5. Type subscription_timeout as the name for the property.
  6. Type an interval in seconds in the Value field, for example: 3600.
  7. Click OK, and then Save.
  8. Restart the Sametime Gateway Server. If you have a cluster of Sametime Gateway Servers, restart the cluster.
