Appendix A. VOCAL SIP UA Configuration File

This appendix covers the configuration file , ua.cfg. This file is stored in /usr/local/vocal/sip/ua.

This file has many comments throughout its different sections offering you tips and examples for configuring a user agent for testing VOCAL. In this section, we have elaborated on these comments and separated the different tag areas to make the file more understandable. If you use another softphone or IP phone set, use the settings suggested in the ua.cfg file to guide you through your setup.

The title of the file appears as:
