This product does not register onto an IP-PBX server as it is a multicast-exclusive product. In other words this device cannot be given a SIP extension because it only receives multicast.
IP multicast is a technique for one-to-many communication over a local IP network. IGMP multicast is sent via UDP packets from a multicast server to a multicast receiver. This stream scales to a larger receiver population by not requiring prior knowledge of who or how many receivers there are. Multicast uses network infrastructure efficiently by requiring the source to send a packet only once, even if it needs to be delivered to many receivers. The network replicates the packet in order to reach multiple receivers only when necessary.
Multicast is a great alternative to SIP registration as it does not require that the recipient of the stream to register as an extension on an IP-PBX server.
CyberData products support both regular IGMP multicast as well as proprietary Polycom Group Paging.
