  • Enabled: Target-Dialog header translation is not performed. However, the header is transparently passed if configured in transparency profile.

Retarget Support

Use this option to either disable load balancing or use the system-level load balancing settings for this zone.

  • Disabled – Load balancing is disabled for this zone regardless of the system level settings.
  • Use System Level Configuration (default) – The system-level settings for Invite Retarget Mode and Register Retarget Mode are applied to this zone. Refer to System - Load Balancing Service for system-level settings.

Flexible Policy Adapter Profile

Use this Zone/Trunk Group parameter to associate a SIP Adapter Profile configured for flexible policy (Profile Type=Flexible Policy) with a particular Zone/Trunk Group.

If a Flexible Policy Adapter Profile is provisioned both at the trunk group and zone levels, the trunk group’s profile takes precedence. If an Input Adapter Profile is configured, it is applied first to manipulate the PDU and then the Flexible Policy Adapter Profile rules are applied on the manipulated PDU.
