Yes, that's the purpose: so that if you unplug a SIP phone without giving it a chance to unregister itself, it will eventually be unregistered due to the timeout. (Additionally, some half-baked SIP NAT solutions require you to set a ludicrously short registration timeout, e.g. 20 seconds, just to keep UDP state open on the firewall) Regards, Brian. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
