The mentioned 64*T1 time does not apply to the proxy/UAS.  That is the 
suggested time for the UAC which sent CANCEL to wait for INVITE transaction 
completion.

You'd need to ask the vendor.  However based upon what you provided, it sounds 
like T1 might be configured to be around 1 second or Timer B is configured to 
be 60 seconds.
