Configuring the correct network address for the SIP Proxy

If the SIP proxy server has multiple network addresses, use these instructions to configure the one that the IBM® Sametime® Gateway uses to contact the SIP Proxy. If the SIP proxy server has one network address, you can skip this task.

Before you begin

Follow these steps to determine which address to configure:

Start the SIP Proxy server. Then from the Sametime Gateway Server, issue telnet commands to each of the network addresses the SIP Proxy uses. Use telnet commands to attempt to connect to the SIP Proxy computer. For example, with network addresses of 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.2, run the following commands:

telnet 127.0.0.1

telnet 127.0.0.2

Make a note of the address that you connected with successfully.
