Configure the SIP container

Learn how to configure SIP container timers and custom properties.

Overview

You can configure and optimize the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) container for your specific environment. For example, you may want to adjust message response times or set a custom property. The administrative console allows you to modify the default settings for many SIP container properties.

Follow these basic steps to find and configure your SIP container settings:

Procedure

1. Start WebSphere Application Server if it is not running.

2. Open the administrative console.

3. Expand the Servers section and click Application servers > serverName to open the configuration tab for your server.

4. Under Container Settings, expand the SIP Container Settings section and click SIP Container to display the SIP container configuration tab. You may now select which container settings you want to change:

   • General Properties lets you configure session, message, and response time maximums. See the list of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) container settings for information about specific properties and settings.

   • The Additional Properties section contains links to fields that allow you to define custom properties, manage transport chains or inbound channel settings, or configure the session manager. Some of the tasks configured under these options are discussed in the following topics:

     • Configuring transport chains

     • Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) container inbound channel settings

5. After you have entered your configuration changes, click Apply and exit the administration console.

6. Restart WebSphere Application Server.
