The session - timers parameter in sip . conf defines the mode of operation of SIP session - timers feature in
Asterisk . The Asterisk can be configured in one of the following three modes :
1. Accept : : In the " accept " mode , the Asterisk server honors session - timers requests
made by remote end - points . A remote end - point can request Asterisk to engage
session - timers by either sending it an INVITE request with a " Supported: timer "
header in it or by responding to Asterisk ' s INVITE with a 200 OK that contains
Session - Expires : header in it . In this mode , the Asterisk server does not
request session - timers from remote end - points . This is the default mode .
2. Originate : : In the " originate " mode , the Asterisk server requests the remote
end - points to activate session - timers in addition to honoring such requests
made by the remote end - pints . In order to get as much protection as possible
against hanging SIP channels due to network or end - point failures , Asterisk
resends periodic re - INVITEs even if a remote end - point does not support
the session - timers feature .
3. Refuse : : In the " refuse " mode , Asterisk acts as if it does not support session -
timers for inbound or outbound requests . If a remote end - point requests
session - timers in a dialog , then Asterisk ignores that request unless it ' s
noted as a requirement ( Require : header ) , in which case the INVITE is
rejected with a 420 Bad Extension response .
