It is possible to make several calls simultaneously using a single SIP account. 103

SIP Telephony
The SIP Internet (Session Initiation Protocol) protocol provides you with a low-cost,
standardised option for telephoning via IP-based networks. OpenCom X320
enables you to use external SIP telephone connections (“SIP trunk lines”).Fur-
thermore, internal SIP subscribers, SIP telephones or SIP telephony software are
also supported.

External SIP connections
The

:
Route
menu gives you the option of making an
SIP connection on a normal ISDN line in case of bundle overflow, breakdown or
over-occupancy. You can also set up your system to route certain types of calls,
such as international calls, to an SIP connection.
Note:
You will need a Media Gateway card for SIP telephony.
You will also need a fast Internet connection such as DSL for SIP telephony.
You will also usually need the services of a SIP provider. A SIP provider operates a
special server (the SIP Registrar) to handle connections. The SIP provider also
operates a gateway to the ordinary telephone network which users pay to use and
which enables the SIP provider to provide calls to the telephone network.A SIP
connection can also accept incoming calls from the telephone network.
The same voice transmission techniques as those explained in
Fundamentals
starting on page 96 are used for SIP telephony. SIP telephony has the following
distinctive features:
Subscribers are identified through an e-mail-like “SIP ID” such as
SIP transmits dialling numbers always in a single data package (block dialling).
Dialling can therefore be concluded with the hash key
#
on the system ter-
minal, or the end of the number will be indicated by a time-out. The value for
this time-out can be defined for each SIP provider separately.
You must log on (“Login”) to the SIP registrar before you can use SIP telephony.
Use the OpenCom X320 to manage important information for the registration
(user name and password) of one or more SIP accounts. It is possible to make
several calls simultaneously using a single SIP account.
