<p>LarryGilbert: scratch</p> <hr /> <div>(Just using this page as a scratchpad for now. Below I'm working on rewording [[SIP URI]].)<br /> <br /> A SIP URI describes an Internet address that can receive SIP calls, much the same way a phone number acts as an &quot;address&quot; for a traditional phone. It resembles an e-mail address:<br /> <br /> 12345678@sip.example.com<br /> <br /> In this example, ''sip.example.com'' is the domain name of a SIP server (it could also be an IP address), and ''12345678'' is an assigned account on that server. Though a SIP URI usually has a numeric account ID, it could just as easily be a name:<br /> <br /> johnsmith@sip.example.com<br /> <br /> SIP calls are conventionally made via TCP port 5060. If a SIP server takes connections on a different port, that must be included in the URI, like so:<br /> <br /> johnsmith@sip.example.com:5061<br /> <br /> Here the URI indicates the same SIP server and account, but also specifies that SIP connections must be made on port 5061.</div>
