Chapter 14 VoIP 102PRACK (RFC 3262) RFC 3262 defines a mechanism to provide reliable transmission of SIP provisional response messages, which convey information on the processing progress of the request. This uses the option tag 100rel and the Provisional Response ACKnowledgement (PRACK) method.Select Supported or Required to have the Router include a SIP Require/Supported header field with the option tag 100rel in all INVITE requests. When the Router receives a SIP response message indicating that the phone it called is ringing, the Router sends a PRACK message to have both sides confirm the message is received. If you select Supported, the peer device supports the option tag 100rel to send provisional responses reliably.If you select Required, the peer device requires the option tag 100rel to send provisional responses reliably.Select Disabled to turn off this function. DNS SRV Enabled (RFC 3263)Select this to have the Router query your ISP’s DNS server for a list of any available SIP servers that it maintains. This is useful if your static SIP server experiences difficulties, making it hard for your IP phone users to make SIP calls.Session Timer (RFC 4028)Select this to have the Router support RFC 4028.This makes sure that SIP sessions do not hang and the SIP line can always be available for use.RTP Port Range Enter the listening port number(s) for RTP traffic provided by your VoIP service provider.Start PortEnd PortIf your VoIP service provider gave you this information.
