Max. time

This is the maximum wait time between attempts to reregister. Once this
maximum is reached, eyeBeam will wait this time for all subsequent attempts.

For example, the min. time is 20 secs, the maximum time is 120 secs. eyeBeam
will attempt to reregister as follows:

• Wait 20 secs.

• Attempt to connect.

• If fail, wait 40 secs.

• Attempt to connect.

• If fail, wait 80 secs.

• Attempt to connect.

• If fail, wait 120 secs (the maximum)

• Attempt to connect.

• If fail, wait 120 secs, and so on.

The factory setting is 1800.

Send SIP keep-alives

Typically on, to instruct eyeBeam to send SIP keep-alive messages in order to
maintain a “pinhole” through your firewall for SIP messaging.

Use rport

Typically on.

Enable session timers

A session timer is a mechanism to detect whether a call session is still active
from the signaling point of view. When the timer expires, a refresh is sent from
one party to the other. The timer is then reset.

• Turn on to enable session timer. Enter a value in Default session time. The

factory setting is 60.

• Turn off to disable session timer; refreshes will never be sent.

Session timer preference

This field specifies your preference for which party should send the refresh. The
preference is not a guarantee that the refresh will be performed by the specified
party. The choices are:

• None: No preference.

• Local refreshes: Your computer sends.

• Remote refreshes: The other party sends.

• UAC refreshes: The user agent client (the party that initiated establishment of

the communications) sends.

• UAS refreshes: The user agent server (the other party) sends.
