Refer to Header Relay

Use this flag to relay the replaces in refer-To header of relayed REFER request. The options are:

  • Reject Refer Ifno Match Forcall Id: If there is no match found for the call-Id received , then REFER is rejected.
  • Relay Refer If No Match For Call Id: SBC tries to match the received call-Id. If  a match is found, SBC translates the replaces header and relays the REFER. If there is no match found for call-id, SBC relays the replaces without any changes.
  • Relay Refer Without Matching: SBC always relays the replaces in refer-to without searching for match of call-id.
