Version 5.8  275  September 2009 
SIP User's Manual   6. Configuration Parameters Reference 
 
Parameter  Description 
address defined in the Routing tables contains a domain name 
with port definition, the device performs a regular DNS A-
record query. 
If a specific Transport Type is defined, a NAPTR query is not 
performed. 
Note: To enable NAPTR/SRV queries for Proxy servers only, 
use the parameter ProxyDNSQueryType. 
Proxy DNS Query Type 
[ProxyDNSQueryType] 
Enables the use of DNS Naming Authority Pointer (NAPTR) 
and Service Record (SRV) queries to discover Proxy servers. 
  [0] A-Record = A-Record (default) 
  [1] SRV = SRV 
  [2] NAPTR = NAPTR 
If set to A-Record [0], no NAPTR or SRV queries are 
performed. 
If set to SRV [1] and the Proxy IP address parameter contains 
a domain name without port definition (e.g., ProxyIP = 
domain.com), an SRV query is performed. The SRV query 
returns up to four Proxy host names and their weights. The 
device then performs DNS A-record queries for each Proxy 
host name (according to the received weights) to locate up to 
four Proxy IP addresses. Therefore, if the first SRV query 
returns two domain names, and the A-record queries return 
two IP addresses each, no additional searches are performed. 
If set to NAPTR [2], an NAPTR query is performed. If it is 
successful, an SRV query is sent according to the information 
received in the NAPTR response. If the NAPTR query fails, an 
SRV query is performed according to the configured transport 
type. 
If the Proxy IP address parameter contains a domain name 
with port definition (e.g., ProxyIP = domain.com:5080), the 
device performs a regular DNS A-record query. 
If a specific Transport Type is defined, a NAPTR query is not 
performed. 
Note: When enabled, NAPTR/SRV queries are used to 
discover Proxy servers even if the parameter DNSQueryType 
is disabled. 
Web: Number of RTX Before Hot-
Swap 
EMS: Proxy Hot Swap Rtx 
[HotSwapRtx] 
Number of retransmitted INVITE/REGISTER messages before 
the call is routed (hot swap) to another Proxy/Registrar. 
The valid range is 1 to 30. The default value is 3. 
Note: This parameter is also used for alternative routing using 
the 'Tel to IP Routing' table . If a domain name in the table is 
resolved into two IP addresses, and if there is no response for 
HotSwapRtx retransmissions to the INVITE message that is 
sent to the first IP address, the device immediately initiates a 
call to the second IP address.
