UA Configuration Parameters

JsSIP.UA requires a configuration object with mandatory and optional parameters. Example:

var configuration = {
  'ws_servers':         'ws://sip-ws.example.com',
  'uri':                'sip:alice@example.com',
  'password':           'superpassword'
};

var coolPhone = new JsSIP.UA(configuration);

Full list of configuration parameters below:

Mandatory parameters

uri

SIP URI associated to the User Agent (String). This is a SIP address given to you by your provider.

uri: "sip:alice@example.com"

ws_servers

Set of WebSocket URIs to connect to. If not specified ports 80 and 443 are taken for non secure WebSocket connections and connections over SSL/TLS, respectively. This parameter can be expressed in multiple ways:

  • Single String to define a single WebSocket URI.
  • Array of Strings to define multiple WebSocket URIs.
  • Array of Objects to define multiple WebSocket URIs with weight. URIs with higher weight value are used prior to those with lower value.
ws_servers: "ws://sip-ws.example.com"

ws_servers: "wss://sip-ws.example.com:8443/sip?KEY=1234"

ws_servers: [
  "ws://sip-ws-1.example.com",
  "ws://sip-ws-2.example.com",
]

ws_servers: [
  {ws_uri: "ws://sip-ws-1.example.com", weight: 10},
  {ws_uri: "ws://sip-ws-2.example.com", weight: 1}
]

Optional parameters

authorization_user

Username (String) to use when generating authentication credentials. If not defined the value in uri parameter is used.

authorization_user: "alice123"

connection_recovery_max_interval

Maximum interval (Number) in seconds between WebSocket reconnection attemps. Default value is 30.

connection_recovery_max_interval: 60

connection_recovery_min_interval

Minimum interval (Number) in seconds between WebSocket reconnection attempts. Default value is 2.

connection_recovery_min_interval: 4

display_name

Descriptive name (String) to be shown to the called party when calling or sending IM messages. It must NOT be enclosed between double quotes even if the given name contains multi-byte symbols (JsSIP will always enclose the display_name value between double quotes).

display_name: "Alice ¶€ĸøĸø"

hack_ip_in_contact

Set a random IP address as the host value in the Contact header field and Via sent-by parameter. Useful for SIP registrars not allowing domain names in the Contact URI. Valid values are true and false (Boolean). Default value is a false.

hack_ip_in_contact: true

hack_via_tcp

Set Via transport parameter in outgoing SIP requests to “TCP”. Useful when traversing SIP nodes that are not ready to parse Via headers with “WS” or “WSS” value in a Via header. Valid values are true and false (Boolean). Default value is false.

hack_via_tcp: true

hack_via_ws

When connecting to a secure WebSocket server (“wss://”) force “WS” as Via transport value instead of “WSS”. Useful when traversing HTTP/WebSocket proxies that act as TLS tunnels. Valid values are true and false (Boolean). Default value is false.

hack_via_ws: true

instance_id

String indicating the UUID URI to be used as instance ID to identify the UA instance when using GRUU.

instance_id: "uuid:8f1fa16a-1165-4a96-8341-785b1ef24f12"

instance_id: "8f1fa16a-1165-4a96-8341-785b1ef24f12"

no_answer_timeout

Time (in seconds) (Integer) after which an incoming call is rejected if not answered. Default value is 60.

no_answer_timeout: 120

session_timers

Enable Session Timers (as per RFC 4028). Default value is true.

session_timers: false

node_websocket_options

An (Object) with options for the Node websocket module (the W3CWebSocket constructor). Valid keys are origin, headers, requestOptions and clientConfig.

This parameter is just used when running JsSIP in Node.

node_websocket_options: {
  origin: "http://myweb.com",
}

password

SIP Authentication password (String).

password: "1234"

register

Indicate if JsSIP User Agent should register automatically when starting. Valid values are true and false (Boolean). Default value is true.

register: false

register_expires

Registration expiry time (in seconds) (Integer). Default value is 600.

register_expires: 300

registrar_server

Set the SIP registrar URI. Valid value is a SIP URI without username. Default value is null which means that the registrar URI is taken from the uri parameter (by removing the username).

registrar_server: 'sip:registrar.mydomain.com'

use_preloaded_route

If set to true every SIP initial request sent by JsSIP includes a Route header with the SIP URI associated to the WebSocket server as value. Some SIP Outbound Proxies require such a header. Valid values are true and false (Boolean). Default value is false.

ws_servers: "ws://example.org/sip-ws"
use_preloaded_route: true

The Route header will look like Route: <sip:example.org;lr;transport=ws>

ws_servers: "wss://example.org:8443"
use_preloaded_route: true

The Route header will look like Route: <sip:example.org:8443;lr;transport=ws>

node_websocket_options

When running in Node, JsSIP uses the Node websocket library as WebSocket client. node_websocket_options is an Object with the following fields:

  • origin
  • headers
  • requestOptions
  • clientConfig

Those fields match the same meaning and format of the same paramters given to the websocket.W3CWebSocket class constructor.
