Notice

all SIP line ports at that site will change to TCP/IP fixed operation and the protocol used by existing
SIP lines (UDP/IP) cannot be used.
• When
this feature is enabled at a site, be aware that all installed V-IPGW and V-SIPGW cards at that
site will be deleted.
• When this feature is enabled, the maximum number of usable V-SIPGW channels will be limited to 64
channels per site or 256 channels for the system.
• When this feature is enabled at a site, V-IPGW cards cannot be used at that site.
• Direct SIP connection can be enabled or disabled on a per-site basis. Changes to this setting will be
reflected after a system reset is performed for the site.
