Videoconference
Using SIP
This chapter describes how to conduct a videoconference using SIP (Session
Initiation Protocol). SIP is a protocol to start communication via a network
standardized by IETP (Internet Engineering Task Force).
For conducting a videoconference with an IP phone using SIP, installation of
the optional PCSA-SP1 SIP software in the Communication Terminal and
connection via a SIP server are required.
Installation of the optional MCU software allows multipoint videoconference
with up to 5 IP phones.
Restrictions on the use of the SIP software
• The settings of the Setup menu are invalid for SIP connection.
• Data transmission via the Data Solution Box is not possible during a
videoconference using SIP.
• The remote camera cannot be controlled during a videoconference using SIP.
• The whiteboard cannot be used during a videoconference using SIP.
• SIP connection cannot be established when "Encryption via LAN" is set to
"On".
• The cascade connection using SIP is not supported even when the PCSA-SPI
SIP software has been installed in two Communication Terminals.
