    I have a question about the Base Line settings for the softphones. ​Under the Signaling section, we have SIP Servers Or Proxies, by default, I use the Edge. 

    But in case of putting the IP Adress of the SBC behaving as a Proxy, Would the Internal Calls between softphones go through the SBCs first and then routed to the Edges ?

    Appreciate your answers !

    Yours,

    If you enter the SBC's IUP Address as the Proxy, then all SIP communication from the phone will be sent to the SBC. The SBC will then proxy for the phone for all SIP communication (INVITE, REGISTER, etc.) for calls from the Softphone.

    For calls going to the Softphone, it all depends on the settings on the device originating the call as to where those SIP messages are sent.

    So, functionaly that's possible.

    We just have to configure then the SBC when receiving the SIP messages to route the calls to the softphone destination .

    Just curious--what type of SBC (manufacturer and model) do you use?

    Cool. Thanks! I need to read up more on SBCs. I know Genesys resells an AudioCodes SBC package, but I haven't dived into the Oracle offering that you have.

    In your experience, this setting is done via the other models of SBC? So that the SBC knows which softphone it should route the call, it is necessary to declare the softphone numbers in the SBCs ?

    @George Ganahl

    In this case, if we set the SBC IP Adress as Proxy in the base line settings for softphones.

    Should we configure the SBC to route the SIP message to the Edge, then the Edge will notify the softphone.
    or         we configure the SBC to route the SIP message to the softphone (in this case, we should add all softphone in the SBC with the numbers/extensions associated)

    which configuration is the best ? both are possible ?


    Yours,

    It sounds like perhaps you are not familiar with the functionality expected from and provided by a SIP Proxy?

    The SBC has to function as a SIP Proxy per RFC 3261 section 16 to proxy communications between the Softphone and the Edge.

    Thank you for your explanation.

    I'm trying to understand the concept.

    If we set the SBC as a proxy server, from a signaling point of view, I was thinking that the softphone will reach first the SBC proxy server (that we set in base line settings), then SBC will route the signaling messages to the Edge, the Edge will notify the softphone directly.

    Correct me please if I'm wrong 

    Thank you
