VoIP System Telephones 133
Voice over IP (VoIP)
address sent with the registration and confirms the registration
request if the VoIP system telephone is listed in the menu
Telephony: Devices: VoIP Phones. The keep-alive time,
port number (8101) for telephony signalling and the value to
use for the TOS byte are also communicated in the registration
answer.
6. The VoIP system telephone creates a second TCP connection
using the signalling port number 8101 and sends a
registration.
7. Extra connections are created using the IP protocol RTP
(“Realtime Transport Protocol”) for call data when a call is
created. For calls between two VoIP system telephones, port
numbers above 8200 are used. For transmission to a Media
Gateway card, a port in the range 1024 – 1087 is used.
If you wish to operate a VoIP system telephone via a routed IP
connection (for example VPN or RAS) it may be necessary to con-
figure an external DHCP server accordingly. Please note the selec-
tion of the codec and keep-alive time for RAS connections. This
can be done by selecting the default profile RAS in the Teleph-
ony: Devices: VoIP Phones for the VoIP system telephone. The
operations software provided via TFTP must match the type of
device and communications system. You may also need to config-
ure BOOTP, DHCP and TFTP servers for the VoIP system tele-
phone.
Local Configuration
In addition to automatic configuration via BOOTP/DHCP, it is pos-
sible to manually configure a Forum IPhone 525 or a
Forum IPhone 535. This can make sense, for example, when you
wish to connect a VoIP system telephone at a distant location via
router. This local configuration is saved permanently in the non-
volatile memory of the VoIP system telephone. To change the
local configuration, use an additional programme, the Java-based
“IP Phone Configurator”.
