3. From the 'Forward Invalid RTP Packets' drop-down list, select the required handling for invalid
RTP and RTCP packets.

Invalid packet handling configuration is applicable only to the SBC application.
Event Detection and Notification using X-Detect Header
The device can detect certain events in the media stream and notify of their detection to a remote
application server, using the SIP X-Detect header. The request for event notification is done by the
application server when establishing a SIP dialog (i.e., INVITE message) or during an already
established call using a re-INVITE message. The device can detect the following event types:
■ Answering Machine Detection (AMD): Detects events that are related to the AMD feature.
AMD detects whether an answering machine or live voice has answered the call. It can also be
used to detect silence, or the beep sound played by an answering machine to indicate the end
of the greeting message after which a voice message can be left. For more information on
AMD, see Answering Machine Detection (AMD).
■ Call Progress Tone (CPT): Detects whether a specific tone, defined in the installed CPT file is
received from the call. It can be used to detect the beep sound played by an answering
machine (as mentioned above), Special Information Tones (SIT) which indicate call failure with
a recorded announcement describing the call failure (Gateway application only), and the busy,
reorder and ring tones.
■ (Gateway application only) Fax/modem machine: Detects whether a fax has answered the call
(preamble, CED, CNG, and modem).
■ (Gateway application only) PTT : Detects the start and end of voice.
● Currently, PTT is supported only for Gateway calls.
● Fax and SIT event detection is applicable only to Gateway calls.
● Event detection on SBC calls for CPT is supported only for calls using the G.711
coder.
The X-Detect header is used for event detection as follows:
■ X-Detect header in the INVITE message received from the application server requesting a
specific event detection:
X-Detect: Request=[event type to detect]
■ X-Detect header in the SIP response message -- SIP 183 (for early dialogs) or 200 OK (for
confirmed dialogs) -- sent by the device to the application server specifying which of the
requested events it can detect (absence of the X-Detect header indicates that the device
cannot detect any of the events):
X-Detect: Response=[supported event types]
