Creating and Editing a SIP Listener

To create a SIP listener, in the Admin Console, expand the Configuration node, select the configuration you want to configure, then select SIP service, then the SIP Listeners node, and click New. Define the SIP listener settings and click Save.

Alternatively, you can use the asadmin create-sip-listener command. A sample command is as follows:

asadmin create-sip-listener --siplisteneraddress=127.0.0.1 --siplistenerport=5066 --transport=udp_tcp mysiplistener

The following is a list of SIP listener attributes:

• Name (id): Provide a unique identifier for your new listener.

• Network Address (address): Enter 0.0.0.0 if you want the listener to listen on all IP addresses for the server, using a unique port value. Otherwise, type a valid IP address for the server.

• Listener Port (address): Enter a unique port value if the Network Address field is 0.0.0.0, or the desired port value if you are using another IP address.

• Enabled (enabled: Determines whether the listener is active. If set to false, any attempts to connect to the listener result in a socket exception (java.net.ConnectException).

• Transport (transportSpecifies the type of transport layer protocol. Allowed values are udp_tcp and tls.

To change an attribute of the SIP listener you can use the asadmin set command or you can use the Admin Console. To edit a SIP listener, in the Admin Console, expand the Configuration node, select the configuration you want to configure, then select SIP service, then the SIP Listeners node, and choose the SIP listener to edit. Edit the SIP listener settings and click Save.

A sample command to change the SIP port of a SIP listener is: asadmin set server.sip-service.sip-listener.sip-listener-1.port=5065
