C.4.2.1 Mandatory Fields
The proxy_addr parameter must be set in order for the phone to send SIP address through the
proxy server. The proxy server receives SIP requests from the phone and forwards them to the
next intermediate device in the network. This parameter sets the address of the proxy server for
the phone and provides no meaningful default if it is omitted from the configuration files.
