A SIP registrar is a server in an SIP network that accepts SIP REGISTER requests. The
SIP Registrar operates in two modes, owner and Proxy.
In the owner mode the
is the owner of the Address Of Record (AOR) for each SIP device and is responsible for maintaining the bindings for each number, and the registrar responds to registration messages with a time to live value
configured in the UI.
In the proxy mode the AOR is owned by another network device and the
Registrar obtains the AOR information as a proxy. Registration messages are sent to the
which is responsible to forward the message to the AOR owner, bindings are maintained by the network device with the
acting only as a relay point. In order to force the endpoint to register at regular and reasonable intervals when the network device becomes unavailable or has been restarted, the
modifies the bindings and reduces the time-to-live values. The proxy mode allows the
to obtain routing information while not requiring security credentials to be configured for each endpoint.If AOR is not a local domain the registration can be forwarded to Server Host. Contact information in responses will be retained in registrar.
The
can be configured in in three SIP Modes: Basic Call, Forward Registration after Local Processing, and Local Registrar. Basic Call mode has no registrar functionality and therefore, registration functionality applies to only the last two modes.
The figure below illustrates how registration is processed in the Forward After Local Processing mode.

Forward After Registration Scenario
Under normal circumstances, when a device registers with the
its information is captured in the local registrar and then forwarded to the SIP server for registration and the SIP server is responsible for all call bindings.
