Using the Default Configuration File
You can find the default configuration file in the following location:
<installation folder>/Bin/SipEndpoint.config
This file contains XML configuration details that affect how your SIP Endpoint SDK application behaves. The initial settings are the same as those specified for use with the QuickStart application included with your SIP Endpoint SDK release.
Configuration settings are separated into two containers: the Basic Container holds the connectivity details that are required to connect to your SIP Server, while the Genesys Container holds a variety of configuration settings.
Basic Container
The first Container ("Basic") holds the basic connectivity details that are required to connect to your SIP Server. This container has at least one connection (Connectivity) element with the following attributes:
<Connectivity user="DN" server="SERVER:PORT" protocol="TRANSPORT"/>
Make the following changes and save the updated configuration file before using the SIP Endpoint SDK:
- user="DN" — Supply a valid DN for the user attribute.
- server="SERVER:PORT" — Replace SERVER with the host name where your SIP Server is deployed, and PORT with the SIP port of the SIP Server host. (The default SIP port value is 5060.)
- protocol="TRANSPORT" — Set the protocol attribute to reflect the protocol being used to communicate with SIP Server. Possible values are UDP, TCP, or TLS.
Genesys Container
The second Container ("Genesys") holds a number of configurable settings that are organized into domains and sections. These settings do not have to be changed, but can be customized to take full control over your SIP Endpoint SDK applications.
An overview of the settings in this container and the valid values for these settings is provided here:
policy Domain
endpoint Section
audio_qos
Valid Values: Number
The integer value representing the DSCP bits to set for RTP audio packets. The value should be 4 * Preferred DSCP value.
include_os_version_in_user_agent_header
Valid Values: 0 or 1
Default Value: 1
If set to 1, the user agent field includes the OS version the client is currently running on.
include_sdk_version_in_user_agent_header
Valid Values: 0 or 1
Default Value: 1
If set to 1, the user agent field includes the SDK version the client is currently running on.
ip_versions
Valid Values: IPv4, empty
Default Value: IPv4.
A value of IPv4 or an empty value means that the application selects an available local IPv4 address.
NOTE: This parameter has no effect if the public_address option specifies an explicit IP address.
public_address
Valid Values: See description below.
Local IP address of the machine. This setting can be an explicit setting or a special value that the SDK uses to automatically obtain the public address.
Valid Values:
This setting may have one of the following explicit values:
- An IP address. For example, 192.168.16.123 for IPv4.
- A bare host name, for example, epsipmac2.
This setting may have one of the following special values:
- $auto—The SDK selects the first valid IP address on the first network adapter that is active (status=up) and has the default gateway configured. IP family preference is specified by the policy.endpoint.ip_versions setting.
- $ipv4—Same behavior as the $auto setting but the SDK restricts the address to a particular IP family.
- $host—The SDK retrieves the standard host name for the local computer using the gethostname system function.
- An adapter name or part of an adapter name prefixed with $. For example, en0 or en1. The specified name must be different from the special values $auto, $ipv4, and $host.
Default Value: Empty string which is fully equivalent to the $auto value.
If the value is specified as an explicit host name, the Contact header includes the host name for the recipient of SIP messages (SIP Server or SIP proxy) to resolve on their own. For all other cases, including $host, the resolved IP address is used for Contact. The value in SDP is always the IP address.
rtp_inactivity_timeout
Valid Values: Integer between 5 and 150
Default Value: 150
Suggested Value: 30
Timeout interval in seconds for RTP inactivity.
rtp_port_min
Valid Values: Number
Default Value: 8000
The integer value representing the minimum value for an RTP port range. Must be within the valid port range of 8000 to 65535. If the minimum value is not specified or set to an invalid value, the default value of 8000 is used for rtp_port_min. Setting the minimum to a value that is larger than the maximum is considered an error and will result in a failure to initialize the endpoint.
rtp_port_max
Valid Values: Number
Default Value: 9000
The integer value representing the maximum value for an RTP port range. Must be within the valid port range of 8000 to 65535. If the maximum value is not specified or set to an invalid value, the default maximum 9000 is used for rtp_port_max. Setting the maximum to a value that is less than the minimum is considered an error and results in a failure to initialize the endpoint.
signaling_qos
Valid Values: Number
The integer value representing the DSCP bits to set for SIP packets. Integer value should be configured to 4 * Preferred DSCP value.
sip_port_min
Valid Values: Number between 1 and 65535
Default Value: 5060
The integer value representing the minimum value for a SIP port range. Must be within the valid port range of 1 to 65535. If the minimum value is not specified or set to an invalid value, the default value of 5060 is used for sip_port_min. Setting the minimum to a value that is larger than the maximum is considered an error and will result in a failure to initialize the endpoint.
sip_port_max
Valid Values: Number between 1 and 65535
Default Value: 5080
The integer value representing the maximum value for a SIP port range. Must be within the valid port range of 1 to 65535. If the maximum value is not specified or set to an invalid value, the default value of 5080 is used for sip_port_max. Setting the maximum to a value that is less than the minimum is considered an error and will result in a failure to initialize the endpoint.
sip_transaction_timeout
Valid Values: Number between 1 and 32000
Default Value: 4000
SIP transaction timeout value in milliseconds. Valid values are 1 through 32000, with a default value of 4000. The recommended value is 4000.
vq_report_collector

- offer—the endpoint selects the first codec in the SDP offer listed in both the codec configuration and the SDP offer.
sip_port_binding
Valid Values: 0 or 1
Default Value: 0
- 0—opens the SIP port to listen on any interface
- 1—the SIP port binds to the interface specified by the public_address setting and listens only on this IP address.
session Section
agc_mode
Valid Values: 0 or 1
If set to 0, AGC (Automatic Gain Control) is disabled; if set to 1, it is enabled. Default: 1. Other values are reserved for future extensions. This configuration is applied at startup, after which time the agc_mode setting can be changed to 1 or 0 from the main sample application.
NOTE: It is not possible to apply different AGC settings for different channels in multi-channel scenarios.
auto_answer
Valid Values: 0 or 1
If set to 1, all incoming calls should be answered automatically.

codecs Section
See Working with Codec Priorities.
proxies Domain
proxy <n> Section
display_name
Valid Values: String
Proxy display name
domain
Valid Values: String containing any valid SIP domain
Default Value: Empty string
A SIP domain is an application layer configuration defining the management domain of a SIP proxy. The configured value should include hostport and may include uri-parameters as defined by RFC 3261. The scheme, userinfo, and transport URI parameters are included automatically.
If set to an empty string, SIP Endpoint SDK uses the parameters from the Connectivity section to construct the SIP domain value as it did in previous versions.
password
Valid Values: String
Proxy password. Password configured for DN object.
reg_interval
Valid Values: Integers greater than or equal to 0
Default Value: 0
The period, in seconds, after which the endpoint starts a new registration cycle when a SIP proxy is down. Valid values are integers greater than or equal to 0. If the setting is empty or negative, the default value is 0, which means no new registration cycle is allowed. If the setting is greater than 0, a new registration cycle is allowed and will start after the period specified by regInterval.
reg_match_received_rport
Valid Values: 0 or 1
Default Value: 0
This setting controls whether or not SIP Endpoint SDK should re-register itself when receiving a mismatched IP address in the received parameter of a REGISTER response. This helps resolve the case where SIP Endpoint SDK for OS X has multiple network interfaces and obtains the wrong local IP address. A value of 0 (default) disables this feature and a value of 1 enables re-registration.
reg_timeout
Valid Values: Number
The period, in seconds, after which registration should expire. A new REGISTER request will be sent before expiration. Valid values are integers greater than or equal to 0. If the setting is 0, then registration is disabled, putting the endpoint in standalone mode. If the setting is empty/null, the default value of 1800 seconds is used.

</section>Endpoint:
The vq_report_publish and vq_report_collector settings can be read from the Endpoint Policy by using the following methods:
GetEndpointPolicy(EndpointPolicyQuery.VqReportCollector);
GetEndpointPolicy(EndpointPolicyQuery.VqReportPublish);Working with Codec Priorities
Codecs are listed by name in the codecs domain of the configuration file. Codecs are listed by priority with codecs closer to the top of the list having higher priority. To disable a codec, comment out or remove the codec from the configuration file.
The value of setting payload_type is an integer. For codecs with dynamic payload type such as iSAC, iLBC, OPUS valid values are between 96 and 127.

Audio Device Settings
You can configure a headset and other audio input devices using the following parameters in the configuration file:
- use_headset
- headset_name
- audio_in_device
- audio_out_device
If the SDK cannot access any of the configured audio devices, the SDK uses the default system audio devices.
If use_headset is set to 1, the SDK searches for a headset with configured headset_name. If the SDK does not find the headset, it uses the system defaults.
If use_headset is set to 0, the SDK skips the search for a headset and searches for audio in and audio out devices with names configured by audio_in_device and audio_out_device. If the devices are not found, the SDK uses the system defaults.
The procedure for audio device selection is applied on startup and every time any changes are made to device presence (such as when a new device is plugged in or an existing device is removed)
Auto-answer and Call Rejection
The auto-answer and call rejection features depend on the use_headset, auto_answer, and reject_session_when_headset_na configuration settings and whether or not audio devices are available. The following tables describe auto-answer and call rejection behavior:
Auto-answer and Call Rejection when use_headset=1
| Headset is Available
The SDK considers a headset available if the headset is found by name. Outgoing calls can be initiated. |
auto_answer=1 | Incoming calls are answered automatically:
|
| auto_answer=0 | Incoming calls are answered manually and the user explicitly selects whether or not video streams should be accepted (using the has_video parameter supplied in the gs_session_info argument) | |
| Headset is Not Available
The SDK decides that no headset is available if a headset was not found by name. An audio device is still assigned, if possible (that is, if any supported devices are present in the system), using the first available audio input and output devices or the system defaults. |
No auto-answer is possible in this sub-case, so the auto_answer setting is not used | reject_session_when_headset_na=1
|
reject_session_when_headset_na=0
|
Auto-answer and Call Rejection when use_headset=0
Audio devices are configured using the audio_in_device and audio_out_device settings. If no valid audio_in_device and audio_out_device devices are found, the SDK selects the system defaults. Outgoing calls can be initiated.
| Both microphone and speaker are available | auto_answer=1 | Incoming calls are answered automatically:
|
| auto_answer=0 | Incoming calls are answered manually and the user explicitly selects whether or not video streams should be accepted (using the has_video parameter supplied in the gs_session_info argument) | |
Either microphone or speaker is not available
|
No auto-answer is possible in this sub-case, so the auto_answer setting is not used | Auto-rejection is not applicable, so the reject_session_when_headset_na setting is not used |
