Version 7.2  1299  Mediant 800B Gateway & E-SBC 
 
User's Manual   72. Configuration Parameters Reference 
Parameter  Description 
The valid range is 0 (default) to 1,000,000, where 0 
means that the device does not limit Session-Expires. 
configure voip > sbc settings > sbc-session-
refresh-policy 
[SBCSessionRefreshingPolicy] 
Defines the SIP user agent responsible for 
periodically sending refresh requests for established 
sessions (active calls)
. The session refresh allows SIP 
UAs or proxies to determine the status of the SIP 
session. When a session expires, the session is 
considered terminated by the UAs, regardless of 
whether a SIP BYE was sent by one of the UAs.  
The SIP Session-Expires header conveys the lifetime 
of the session, which is sent in re-INVITE or UPDATE 
requests (session refresh requests). The 'refresher=' 
parameter in the Session-Expires header (sent in the 
initial INVITE or subsequent 2xx response) indicates 
who sends the session refresh requests. If the 
parameter contains the value 'uac', the device 
performs the refreshes; if the parameter contains the 
value 'uas', the remote proxy performs the refreshes. 
An example of the Session-Expires header is shown 
below: 
Session-Expires: 4000;refresher=uac 
Thus, the parameter is useful when a UA does not 
support session refresh requests or does not support 
the indication of who performs session refresh 
requests. In such a scenario, the device can be 
configured to perform the session refresh requests. 
  [0] Remote Refresher = (Default) The UA (proxy) 
performs the session refresh requests. The device 
indicates this to the UA by sending the SIP 
message with the 'refresher=' parameter in the 
Session-Expires header set to 'uas'. 
  [1] SBC Refresher = The device performs the 
session refresh requests. The device indicates this 
to the UA by sending the SIP message with the 
'refresher=' parameter in the Session-Expires 
header set to 'uac'. 
Note: The time values of the Session-Expires 
(session refresh interval) and Min-SE (minimum 
session refresh interval) headers can be configured 
using the SBCSessionExpires and SBCMinSE 
parameters, respectively. 
User Registration Grace Time 
configure voip > sbc settings > sbc-usr-reg-
grace-time 
[SBCUserRegistrationGraceTime] 
Defines additional time (in seconds) to add to the 
registration expiry time users that are registered in the 
device's Users Registration database. 
The valid value is 0 to 2,000,000. The default is 0. 
For more information, see Registration Refreshes on 
page 667. 
SBC DB Routing Search Mode 
configure voip > sbc settings > sbc-db-route-
mode 
[SBCDBRoutingSearchMode] 
Defines the method for searching a registered user in 
the device's User Registration database when a SIP 
INVITE message is received for routing to a user. If 
the registered user is found (i.e., destination URI in 
INVITE), the device routes the call to the user's
