Session Agent Ping Message Formatting

You can configure the user portions of the Request-URI and To: headers that define the destination of a session agent ping message, and the From: header that defines the source of a session agent ping message. These headers are sent to Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller session agent. This feature is required for interoperability with certain E911 servers.

In the following example of a session agent ping-type message, you can set the user portion of the Request-URI (the text bob in the OPTIONS method line) and the user portion of the From: header (the text bob in the From: header) to the same new value. You can also set the user portion of the To: header (the text anna in the To: header) to its own new value.

OPTIONS sip:[e-mail] SIP/2.0
From: UA1 <sip:[e-mail]>
To: NUT <sip:[e-mail]>
Call-ID: [e-mail]
CSeq: 1 OPTIONS
Contact: <sip:[e-mail]>
Accept: application/sdp
Content-Length: 0

If you do not enable this feature, then the session agent ping-type message contains the text ping in all cases.
