Throughout the tables that describe the data fields, there is some mention of default and recommended values. This type of information is not available for every field.

System Configuration Data

The system configuration data parameters control how the VOCAL system works with registration messages and heartbeat signals.

Registration is the method used by SIP-based systems to keep the Redirect server informed about the location of on-network user agents. Registrations are temporary: their duration is set by an expiry timer. User agents must reregister after each expiry interval to keep their registration up-to-date. See Chapter 7 for more information.

The System Configuration Data screen includes a field for setting the registration expiry timer . Refer to Figure 5-2 and Table 5-3 for more information. ...
