To detect the disconnection of SIP endpoints in a reasonable amount of time, a new system flag can be 
defined to specify the amount of time that the MCU should wait for an RTCP or RTP message from the SIP 
endpoint before the endpoint starts the disconnection process. The system default value is automatically 
set to 20 seconds.
The system flag, DETECT_SIP_EP_DISCONNECT_TIMER, contains the amount of time in seconds to wait 
for an RTCP or RTP message to be received from the endpoint. When the time that was set in the system 
flag has elapsed and no RTCP or RTP audio or video message has been received on either the audio or 
the video channel, the MCU disconnects the SIP endpoint from the conference. A CDR event record is 
created with a Call Disconnection Cause of SIP remote stopped responding.
The Microsoft Lync add-in endpoint opens audio and content channels. Lync endpoints can send 
RTCP/RTP messages and empty RTP audio messages. When the time that was set in the system flag has 
elapsed and no RTCP or RTP message has been received on the audio channel, the MCU disconnects the 
endpoint from the conference. 
SIP audio only endpoints use the audio channel only. When the time that was set in the system flag has 
elapsed and no RTCP or RTP message has been received on the audio channel, the MCU disconnects the 
SIP audio endpoint from the conference.
Configuring the System Flag
When you want to change the system default value of 20 seconds, the system flag, 
DETECT_SIP_EP_DISCONNECT_TIMER, can be manually added to the System Flags configuration to 
detect the disconnection of SIP endpoints. For more information see 
.
The value range is from 0 to 300 seconds. When the value is set between 0 and 14, the feature is disabled 
and SIP endpoints are not detected for disconnection. When the value is set between 15 and 300, the 
feature is enabled. 
Monitoring ISDN/PSTN Participants
Using the Participant Properties dialog box, you can monitor and verify the properties of an ISDN/PSTN 
participant. The dialog box’s tabs contain information that is relevant to the participant’s status only while 
the conference is running and is used to monitor the participant’s status when connection problems occur.
The table below lists the audio algorithms that are supported for ISDN participants according to their 
connection bit rate
Maximum line rate at which ISDN endpoints can connect to a conference is 768 kbps.
