You can specify registration timeout in both/either the client or the server but I believe that the shorter duration will take precedence. So if a client device is set to register every 3600 seconds, but the asterisk server is setup for 60 seconds, then the client will be instructed to re-register once a minute. Same applies for when asterisk acts as a client to a SIP Trunk. For devices/servers all within the same LAN, you should be fine with quite long registration time outs. For devices (or trunks) that are at the other end of a WAN and especially those on the other side of a NAT gateway, then you probably want fairly short time outs. SIP Trunk and DID providers usually document somewhere on their web sites a recommended timeout (or a minimum or a maximum) David
