or paging list key on the phone, which allows you to send a Real Time Transport Protocol (RTP)
stream to the pre-configured multicast address(es) without involving SIP signaling. You can
configure the phone to receive an RTP stream from pre-configured multicast listening
address(es) without involving SIP signaling. You can specify up to 31 multicast listening
addresses.
