Generally, authentication by user and password is always required for registration at a SIP PBX. There are two possible ways of transmitting the authentication data to the SIP PBX:
- All SIP and ISDN users at the LANCOM VoIP router end use the same shared access information. In this case, only the VoIP domain for the SIP PBX and the appropriate user ID are entered into the SIP terminal device. For ISDN users, the VoIP domain of the SIP PBX is entered into the LANCOM as an ISDN user. The SIP proxy recognizes the request for registration at the upstream SIP PBX if the domain communicated from the client agrees with a domain entered for the SIP PBX line. The proxy then forwards the registration data together with the shared password to the SIP PBX.
- If SIP or ISDN users at the LANCOM VoIP router are entered into the SIP PBX with different passwords, then the users have to enter their individual passwords upon registration. Consequently, each SIP or ISDN user has an entry in the LANCOM with the individual passwords, which are also entered into the SIP terminal devices. Users with shared and individual passwords can be managed in parallel.
