SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is an Internet protocol for live communication between persons. The Internet Gate is equipped with a SIP proxy and registrar that dynamically controls the firewall to allow multiple SIP clients on the LAN to communicate universally over the Internet. With the Internet Gate you can communicate using telephony, presence, instant messaging, voice and video applications all the way into your private LAN and still being protected by a vigorous firewall.
In addition, the proxy and registrar can be configured to be a standalone SIP server. Furthermore, the SIP Switch extensions (Dial Plan, User Accounts and more) integrate SIP phones with soft PC Clients and ordinary telephones via gateway services.
The SIP Switch is a software option that is purchased by clicking the Buy link above the Dial Plan table or below the SIP Account table. Without the SIP Switch, only the general settings plus the SIP user, id and password in the User Account table are functional.
To evaluate the SIP Switch (without having to buy it), press the “Evaluate” link or the “View/Get Example” link below the Dial Plan table! You then get access to the full SIP Switch including 5 user accounts for testing purposes, for a maximum period of 10 days or until this product is restarted.
