Where to Find It

  • The Registration tab is located under User → Utilities in the BroadWorks web portal.
  • It displays the status of SIP device registrations associated with a user account.

What It Shows

The registration section provides details about each device currently registered or attempting to register:

  1. Device Information

    • Device Name / Profile: The configured device type (e.g., Polycom VVX, Cisco MPP).
    • MAC Address: Unique identifier for the device.
    • Line/Extension: The user’s assigned line.
  2. Registration Status Common statuses include:

    • Registered: Device is successfully registered and active.
    • Unregistered: Device is not currently registered (could be powered off or disconnected).
    • Failed: Registration attempt failed (often due to incorrect credentials or network issues).
    • Expired: Registration timed out and was not renewed.
  3. Contact URI

    • SIP URI used by the device to register (e.g., sip:username@domain).
  4. IP Address

    • The IP address from which the device registered.
  5. User Agent

    • Identifies the device firmware or softphone client.
  6. Expires

    • Shows the remaining time before the registration needs to be refreshed.
  7. Last Registration Time

    • Timestamp of the most recent successful registration.

Why It’s Useful

  • Troubleshooting: Helps identify if a device is online and connected.
  • Security: Detects unauthorized devices or unexpected IP addresses.
  • Monitoring: Confirms that all endpoints for a user are active.

Typical Actions

  • If a device shows Unregistered or Failed, check:
    • SIP credentials (username/password).
    • Network connectivity and firewall settings.
    • Device provisioning status.
