The motivation for my question is that we are in the process of defining the design approach to be used for addressing XECS-415. One of the avenues explored would require the gateway to be challenged by the sipX. I'm not so much interested about whether or not the gateway can REGISTER itself - the important part is that it can respond to a challenge. The hypothetical scenario would be like this: call comes in from PSTN. Gateway presents that incoming call to sipX over SIP. sipX, seeing that the domain part of the From: header matches its own concludes that the call originator is a local user and therefore challenges the caller to authenticate its identity. Keep in mind that this scenario is *very* hypothetical and I'm only mentioning it to satisfy your curiosity :) I know that Patton is one of the gateways that is used often with sipX and I wanted to check if it supported that capability before going any further. > > So while I think Patton has that capability, it's raised > questions why a PRI or FXO gateway would need to do that of > course.

"I have a configuration/functionality question regarding the SmartNode gateways running SmartWare 5.1. In looking at a particular feature, we would like to know if the following is possible: A call comes in from PSTN to the Smartnode. The SmartNode presents the call to out local voip pbx (which is the proxy). When the call is presented the "FROM" header shows the local domain qnd challenges the caller (SmartNode) to authenticate its identity. So without registering does the Smartnode have the ability to authenticate its identity if challenged by the local proxy to complete a call?" Please feel free to modify this in some way that makes the nest sense. Once I have it back, I will send it to them. Thanks, Tony
