VoIP - Voice over Internet Protocol
VoIP enables telephone calls through existing Internet connection instead of going through the PSTN
(Public Switched Telephone Network). It is cost-effective, especially for a long distance telephone
charges, and can provide toll-quality voice calls over the Internet.
VSP Accounts
In order to set up your VoIP service you will need to have one or more accounts with a VoIP Service
Provider (VSP). The account details include:
- SIP Phone Number, Authentication UserName (usually the same as SIP Phone Number),
- Authentication Password,
- Registrar Address, Proxy Address, User Domain/Real (often these three are the same).
Please note that VSPs will usually provide a web portal to access account information such as billing. The
login details for these web portals is usually different to login ID and password for the SIP service on the
router. Ensure you have the correct SIP ID and password to enter in to the Router set up.
You may also have a DID phone number assigned to your VoIP account which allows calls to be made to
your SIP service from normal PSTN phones. This number is not used in setting up the Router.
The router provides two independent Phone Ports and allows you to register your VoIP account details to
one or both of the Phone Ports.
You may set up the two Phone Ports to register with two different VoIP accounts, or you may select to use
a single account for both.
You may enter the account details directly for each Phone Port, or you may create User Defined Profiles
for your VoIP accounts, and assign a Profile to each Phone Port.
You may also use these Profiles as part of your VoIP Dial Plans in order to direct various types of calls (eg
local, interstate, mobile and overseas) through different VSPs.
Call Handling
The router will receive incoming SIP calls to the accounts registered on the Phone Ports, and will direct the
calls to the phone connected to the appropriate Port. The Phone Ports operate independently so that you
can have two simultaneous calls in progress on the phones connected to the Phone Ports.
Firmware 5.52G and later also has the facility to register accounts set up as User defined Profiles to the
Phone Ports.
In addition, incoming PSTN calls will be directed to both Phone Ports. Once a PSTN call is answered on
one Phone Port, the other Port is available for incoming or outgoing SIP calls.
Outgoing calls will be made in accordance with the VoIP and PSTN Dial Plans, either to the account
registered on the Phone Port (default), to a User Defined Profile account, or to the PSTN as required.
Items within the VoIP section include: Wizard, General Settings, Phone Port, PSTN Dial Plan,
VoIP Dial Plan, Call Features
and
Ring &Tone.
After completing VoIP configuration, remember to apply the changes, SAVE CONFIG
and Sync or Restart to activate your VoIP.
