You can configure the IP address and port number of the outbound proxy server. When outbound
proxy is enabled, all SIP requests are sent to the outbound proxy server instead of to the
proxyN_address. All responses continue to reconcile the normal Using processing rules. The media
stream is not routed through the outbound proxy.
You can enable or disable NAT and outbound proxy modes independently. The received= tag is
added to the Via header of all responses if there is no received= tag in the uppermost Via header and
the source IP address is different from the IP address in the uppermost Via header. Responses are
sent back to the source under the following conditions:
If a received= tag is in the uppermost Via header, the response is sent back to the IP address
–
contained in the received= tag.
If there is no received= tag and the IP address in the uppermost Via header is different from the
–
source IP address, the response is sent back to the source IP address. Otherwise the response is
sent back to the IP address in the uppermost Via header.

Caller ID information. When a SIP message is received with ISO 8859-1 Latin1 characters in the
caller ID strings, those caller ID strings are displayed on the phone LCD with the correct ISO 8859-1
Latin1 characters.
Services menu applications written in Cisco IP Phone Services. You can develop language-specific
applications for a particular region. For example, an application that displayed the current weather
in Sweden using Swedish characters can be displayed on the Cisco SIP IP phone. If you develop the
same application for a Spanish locale, the application can be translated into Spanish.
Line key labels. The line keys can be configured to support the Latin1 characters. You can specify
the line key name in the configuration file, and it displays correctly. The Latin1 characters cannot
be used in the linex_name parameter, but can be used in the linex_shortname and linex_displayname
parameters. If the proxy supports Latin1 characters in the To/From headers, they can be used in the
linex_name parameter as well.
