Features in That and Later Releases
|
|
|
|
Support inbound dial-peer match based on remote IP address on SIP trunks |

Refer to the "Configuring SIP and TEL URL Support" module in the Cisco IOS Tcl IVR and VoiceXML Application Guide - 12.3(14)T and later. |
|
Support for SIP 181 Call is Being Forwarded Message |
Feature is enabled by default, allowing Cisco IOS SIP TDM gateways and Cisco UBEs to pass SIP 181 messages as is. |
Refer to the "Configuring SIP Message, Timer, and Response Features" module in this guide. |
|
Support for Expires Timer Reset on Receiving or Sending SIP 183 Message |
When the terminating device lacks answer supervision or does not send the required SIP 200 OK message within the timer expiry, enable this feature to send periodic SIP 183 messages to reset the Expires timer and preserve the call until final response. |
Refer to the "Configuring SIP Message, Timer, and Response Features" module in this guide. |
|
Support for stripping off progress indication from incoming ISDN messages on Cisco IOS SIP and H.323 TDM gateways and on Cisco UBEs. |
Allows removal (stripping) of PIs on outbound dial peers on Cisco IOS voice gateways or Cisco UBEs, such as when configuring a Cisco IOS SIP gateway (or SIP-SIP Cisco UBE) to not generate additional SIP 183 Session In Progress messages. |
Refer to the "Configuring SIP Message, Timer, and Response Features" module in this guide. |
|
Support for Multiple Registrars on SIP Trunks on a Cisco UBE, on Cisco IOS SIP TDM Gateways, and on Cisco Unified CME |
Allows configuration of multiple registrars on SIP trunks, each simultaneously registered using their respective authentication instance, in turn, allowing a redundant registrar for each of the SIP trunks, which provides SIP trunk redundancy across multiple service providers |
Refer to the "Configuring Multiple Registrars on SIP Trunks" module in this guide. |
|
RSVP Preconditions for Video Gateway |

Refer to the "Configuring SIP RSVP Features" module in this guide. |
|
RSVP Preconditions for Audio on SIP-TDM Gateway and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (Cisco Unified CME) |
Provides application-specific reservations that enhance the granularity of local policy match criteria on Cisco IOS SIP devices. Additionally, this feature provides support for SIP audio RSVP preconditions for audio on both SIP time-division multiplexing (TDM) gateways and on SIP trunks for Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) line-side Cisco Unified CME devices. |
Refer to the "Configuring SIP RSVP Features" module in this guide. |
|

Refer to the "Configuring SIP Message, Timer, and Response Features" module in this guide. |
|
SIP History INFO |
Provides support for the history-info header in SIP INVITE messages only. The SIP gateway generates history information in the INVITE message for all forwarded and transferred calls. The support for hiding internal topology information in the header was enhanced by enabling Cisco UBE to summarize the content of the history-info header in the outgoing message without letting out any internal topology information. |
Refer to the "Configuring SIP Message, Timer, and Response Features" module in this guide. Refer to the privacy-policy strip history-info, voice-class sip privacy-policy strip command included in the Cisco IOS Voice Command Reference. |

|
Control Media Cut-Through on SIP 18x Response |
Provides the ability to send media backward before a call is established, allowing the remote side to send personalized ringback tones (usually music) as a response before a call is established. This is default behavior but, in some scenarios, causes clipping and may need to be disabled (CLI for disabling this behavior was added for this release). |
Refer to the rtp send-recv command in the Cisco IOS Voice Command Reference. |
|
Disable Outbound SIP Proxy on a per-Dial-Peer Basis |
Provides a fix for the issue of calls coming in over a SIP trunk to Cisco Unified CME and being forwarded to the outbound SIP proxy rather than directly to the phone. |

There is no associated CLI or configuration for this feature. |
|
Pass Data in SIP REFER to Triggered INVITE |
Maps SIP REFER message data into SIP INVITE messages. This allows you to send customer-specific information to triggered SIP INVITE messages using Call-Info as the URL header of the SIP Refer-To header. Further, this feature allows the gateway to take SIP REFER data and create a new SIP INVITE message to a new destination when a call is being placed to an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) endpoint and the IVR refers the call to an agent or to another IVR system. |
There is no associated CLI or configuration for this feature. |
|
SIP SRTP Fallback to Nonsecure RTP |
The SIP SRTP fallback to non-secure RTP feature allows Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) transactions to fallback to non-secure RTP using SIP 4xx responses on a Cisco IOS SIP gateway. Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)XY (integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T), you can use the srtp negotiate command to allow a Cisco IOS SIP gateway to accept and send an RTP Audio/Video Profile (AVP) in response to an RTP Secure AVP offer (also known as an SRTP profile) using 4xx messages. |
Refer to the srtp (dial peer), srtp (global) commands in the Cisco IOS Voice Command Reference. |
