User Registration

The device provides a registration database for registering users. Only users belonging to a User-type IP Group can register with the device. User-type IP Groups represent a group of SIP user agents that share the following characteristics:

■ Perform registrations and share the same serving proxy\registrar
■ Same SIP and media behavior
■ Same IP Profile
■ Same SIP handling configuration
■ Same Call Admission Control (CAC)

Typically, the device is configured as the user's outbound proxy, routing requests (using the IP-to-IP Routing table) from the user's User-type IP Group to the serving proxy, and vice versa. Survivability can be achieved using the alternative routing feature.

The device forwards registration requests (REGISTER messages) from a Server-type IP Group, but doesn't save the registration binding in its' registration database.
