Dispatch Console Installation Guide
If You Don’t Want to Use a Data Card The current version of the dispatch console is intended to be used with a data card attached to a computer (and a cellular network connection). If you want to use the LAN instead, you will need to perform the following: •
If applicable to the router, disable “SIP ALG (application level gateway)”. e.g., on Cisco pix router:
no fixup protocol SIP 5060 no fixup protocol SIP UDP 5060
•
If UDP ports are blocked, the local router should allow the ports from range 5000 to 55000 or allow * (all the ports).
•
Increase the “Idle time until a UDP slot is freed” to 40 minutes. e.g., on Cisco pix router:
•
UDP hh[:mm[:ss]] - Idle time until a UDP slot is freed.
Change SIP timer to 30 minutes. e.g., on Cisco pix router:
•
SIP hh[:mm[:ss]]
Modify the media timer to 40 minutes. e.g., on Cisco pix router:
