CHAPTER20 SIP Definitions
Mediant 1000 Gateway & E-SBC | User's Manual
● For the SBC User Information feature, the device's License Key must include the
license "Far End Users (FEU)", which specifies the maximum number of supported
far-end users. If no far-end users are licensed, then this feature cannot be used.
● If you configure the device to authenticate as a server the incoming SIP requests
from users of a specific User-type IP Group, the device authenticates the users,
using the username and password configured in the IP Group's 'Username' and
'Password' parameters. However, if the user appears in the User Information table
and configured with a username and/or password, then the device authenticates
the user with the credentials in the table. To enable the device to authenticate as a
server, configure the IP Group's 'Authentication Mode' parameter to SBC as
Server.
● The maximum number of available rows (users) that you can add in the User
Information table is according to the number of far-end users ("Far End Users") that
is specified in the device's License Key. However, the number of licensed users
cannot exceed the maximum rows supported by the device, as stated in the
beginning of this section. As an example and for simplicity sake, assume that the
supported number of rows is 10 and the number of licensed users is 20. In this
scenario, the maximum number of available rows will be 10. If the number of
licensed users is 5, the maximum number of available rows will be 5.
● This section is applicable only to the SBC application.
