H46019DemultiplexingMode string Determines media port sharing across multiple calls. Applicable to TraversalServer zones.
RetryInterval integer Frequency in seconds of retry attempts for failed connections. Applicable to TraversalClient zones.
DisconnectOnFailInterval integer Frequency in seconds of SIP OPTIONS ping disconnection during failures. Applicable to TraversalClient zones.
SIPPoisonMode string Whether to mark outbound requests to prevent reprocessing if returned. Applicable to TraversalClient zones.
MultistreamMode string Whether multistream call negotiation is permitted. Applicable to Neighbor zones.
PreloadedSipRoutesSupport string Controls Route header processing in SIP INVITE requests. Applicable to Neighbor zones.
SIPAuthenticationTrustMode string Whether P-Asserted-Identity headers from this zone are trusted. Applicable to Neighbor zones.
MonitorPeerStatus string Whether to monitor the peer using H.323 LRQs and SIP OPTIONS. Applicable to Neighbor zones.
FallbackTransportProtocol string Default transport when DNS records do not specify preference. Applicable to DNS zones.
ModifyDnsRequest string Whether to route calls to a manually specified SIP domain. Applicable to DNS zones.
IncludeAddressRecord string Whether to query A/AAAA records if SRV/NAPTR lookups fail. Applicable to DNS zones.
DNSSuffix string Domain appended to E.164 numbers for ENUM DNS lookups. Applicable to ENUM zones.
