Chapter 6 SIP Figure 25 SIP Redirect Server 6.1.5.4 SIP Register Server A SIP register server maintains a database of SIP identity-to-IP address (or domain name) mapping. The register server checks your user name and password when you register. 6.1.6 RTP When you make a VoIP call using SIP, the RTP (Real time Transport Protocol) is used to handle voice data transfer. See RFC 1889 for details on RTP. 6.1.7 NAT and SIP The P-2024 must register its public IP address with a SIP register server. If there is a NAT router between the P-2024 and the SIP register server, the P-2024 probably has a private IP address. The P-2024 lists its IP address in the SIP message that it sends to the SIP register server. NAT does not translate this IP address in the SIP message. The SIP register server gets the P-2024's IP address from inside the SIP message and maps it to your SIP identity. If the P2024 has a private IP address listed in the SIP message, the SIP server cannot map it to your SIP identity. Use a SIP ALG (Application Layer Gateway), Use NAT, STUN, or outbound proxy to allow the P-2024 to list its public IP address in the SIP messages. 6.1.7.1 SIP ALG Some applications, such as SIP, cannot operate through NAT (are NAT un-friendly) because they embed IP addresses and port numbers in their packets' data payload. 68 P-2024 User's Guide
