ALERT - Add SIP Connection

Overview

Configuring a SIP (Voice over IP) connection in ALERT 4 requires two main steps: establishing a connection to the SIP system and creating a communication port.

Step 1 — Add a SIP Connection

1. Open the Configuration menu
2. Go to Communication > SIP Connections
3. Add a new connection

SIP Tab

Your SIP provider supplies the following required parameters:

Parameter	Description
Telephone number	Assigned number from the provider
SIP address	SIP service provider address
User ID	Connection credentials
Password	Connection credentials
URI format	sip: number@address

Connection Tab

Select the network interface to use for SIP communications.

Upon successful validation, the ALERT event log confirms registration with the provider.

Step 2 — Add a SIP Port

Once the connection is configured, add a SIP port to enable calling:

1. Select the appropriate SIP connection
2. Specify any necessary call prefixes
3. Configure incoming call parameters
4. Choose an answering driver or No response
5. Reserve the port for incoming calls if needed

note

A green LED indicator confirms proper port configuration. Multiple concurrent calls require additional SIP ports if the provider supports it. The vocal driver must be enabled in ALERT.
