SIP Address/Type
(SIP Only)
Select the format in which the SIP address is written:
• SIP URI - Uses the format of an E-mail address, typically 
containing a user name and a host name: sip:[user]@[host]. For 
example, sip:dan@polycom.com.
Note: If the SIP Address field contains an IPv6 address, it must be 
surrounded by square brackets, for example, [::1].
• TEL URI - Used when the endpoint does not specify the domain 
that should interpret a telephone number that has been input by 
the user. Rather, each domain through which the request passes 
would be given that opportunity. 
For example, a user in an airport might log in and send requests 
through an outbound proxy in the airport. If the users enters “411” 
(this is the phone number for local directory assistance in the United 
States), this number needs to be interpreted and processed by the 
outbound proxy in the airport, and not by the user's home domain. In 
this case, tel: 411 is the correct choice.
Note: This field is removed from the dialog box when the ISDN/PSTN 
protocol is selected.
Endpoint Website IP 
Address 
(IP only)
Enter the IP address of the endpoint’s internal site to enable 
connection to it for management and configuration purposes.
This field is automatically completed the first time that the endpoint 
connects to the Collaboration Server. If the field is blank it can be 
manually completed by the system administrator. The field can be 
modified while the endpoint is connected 
Audio Only Select this check box to define the participant as a voice participant, 
with no video capabilities.
Extension/Identifier 
String
Dial-out participants that connect to an external device such as 
Cascaded Links or Recording Links may be required to enter a 
conference password or an identifying string to connect. Enter the 
required string as follows:
[p]…[p][string]
For example: pp4566#
p - optional - indicates a pause of one second before sending the 
DTMF string. Enter several concatenated [p]s to increase the delay 
before sending the string. The required delay depends on the 
configuration of the external device or conference IVR system.
String - enter the required string using the digits 0-9 and the 
characters * and #. The maximum number of characters that can be 
entered is identical to the H.323 alias length.
If the information required to access the device/conference is 
composed of several strings, for example, the conference ID and the 
conference password, this information can be entered as one string, 
where pauses [p] are added between the strings for the required 
delays, as follows:
[p]…[p][string][p]…[p] [string]... 
For example: p23pp*34p4566#
