Ch. 1 Introduction to VoIP VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, which means transmitting voice over the most widely accepted network protocol around the world. Internet Protocol networking is widely supported by almost all kinds of networks. VoIP, however, can also be implemented inside LAN only without Internet involved if proper LAN environment is ready. In addition, with improvements, business class VoIP system can integrate data, voice, and video in the same network.
system will be able to provide easy-to-manage, business-driven architecture at a cost that is competitive with your current expenditures. 1.2 SIP – Most Popular VoIP Protocol SIP stands for Session Initiation Protocol which an application-layer is signaling protocol that handles the VoIP phone calls over the Internet. Unlike other VoIP protocols, SIP handles signaling only, and leverages other SIP-related protocols to co-work with media sessions accordingly.
SIP-Service-Domain owner to provide its services to its subscribers. Sometimes, the SIP Registration Server will be used for distinguishing purpose. There are three kinds of the server: z SIP Proxy Server; it relays call signaling, i.e. acts as both client and server operating in a transactional manner, i.e., it keeps no session state z SIP Redirect Server; it redirects caller to other servers z SIP Registrar; it accepts registration requests from users and maintains user’s whereabouts at a Location Server.
1.3.2 STUN, Simple Traversal of UDP through NAT STUN can be used to help your, WIFI-ATA, to find the present types of NAT routers and/or firewalls between it and the public Internet. STUN also allows the WIFI-ATA to find the public IP address that NAT has assigned, so that the WIFI-ATA can embed it in the SIP data stream. However, STUN does not work with symmetric NAT routers or firewalls. For more information, please refer to RFC 3489 on STUN. 1.3.
Ch. 2 Introduction to Network application The WIFI-ATA is an 802.11b/g compatible wireless network device. It can act as the following roles：. 2.1 z Bridge z Gateway z WISP z Access Point z AP Client Operation Modes The device provides 3 different operation modes. The operation mode is about the communication mechanism between the wired Ethernet NIC and wireless NIC, the following is the types of operation mode.
z AP Client：This mode provides the capability to connect with the other AP using infrastructure/Ad-hoc networking types. With bridge operation mode, you can directly connect the wired Ethernet port to your PC and the device becomes a wireless adapter. And with WISP operation mode, you can connect the wired Ethernet port to a hub/switch and all the PCs connecting with hub/switch can share the same public IP address from your ISP.
Bridge mode topology： WISP (Wireless ISP) mode topology： 8

Ch. 4 Configuring WIFI-ATA To configure WIFI-ATA, you must connect to the web configuration page first. When you get a new WIFI-ATA or reset the system to default, the default network mode of WIFI-ATA is gateway, the default Ethernet WAN IP is 172.1.1.1, and the default wireless LAN IP is 192.168.1.254, and the DHCP server is on. The default Wireless SSID is “WIFI-ATA”. You could connect to the LAN side using Wireless adapter cards. If you connect by wired, please get to the setup page by WAN IP.
Turn on your web browser, ex: Internet Explorer, Netscape or Firefox are all OK, and enter http://. Then, you’ll see the page like below. In this chapter, this guide will lead you through all the functions of WIFI-ATA, including the following topics: 4.1 z Quickly Setup (Setup Wizard).
The operation modes have been described in section 2.1. Select the most suitable operation mode according to your network environment. You could click the miniature to see the topology of each mode. Click “Next>>” to continue.
Step 2: Configure Time Zone If you enable the NTP client update, select the time zone of your location and the NTP server to update the system time simultaneity. Click “Next>>” to continue. Step 3: Configure LAN Network Configure the static IP address of the LAN interface. This setup may effect according to the mode you choose. If you choose gateway mode, this step will change the IP of wireless LAN interface. (Please refer to P.
Step 4: Configure WAN network If you configure the operation mode as Bridge mode, ignore this step. Configure the WAN interface as static IP, DHCP client, PPPoE, or PPTP according to your network environment. If you want to access the webpage from WAN side, enable Web Server Access on WAN. Click “Next>>” to continue. Step 5: Configure Wireless Basic Settings Configure the wireless mode, SSID, and channel.
Step 6: Configure Wireless Security Configure the wireless encryption method. It can configure as None, WEP, WPA(TKIP) PSK, WPA2(AES) PSK and WPA mixed PSK. Click “Next>>” to continue. Step 7: Configure VoIP SIP account Configure the account which is for activating your VoIP service. Fill in the information you get from ITSP and enter into fields accordingly. Basically, you will have the VoIP subscription information which are “Register Name,” “Register Password,” “Proxy Server,” and “Outbound Proxy”.
4.2 Operation Mode You could only change the operation mode in this page. The operation mode had been described in session 2.1. This page is very the same with the setup wizard step 1 page, please reference to session 4.1.
4.3 TCP/IP Settings The third feature set of WIFI-ATA is about the TCP/IP networking which contains “LAN interface” and “WAN interface“. If the operation mode is “Bridge”, only the LAN interface settings are available. That means LAN/PC port, WAN port, and Wireless network all use the LAN interface settings in bridge mode. If the operation mode is “Gateway”, the LAN interface is to configure LAN port and Wireless network; the WAN interface is to configure WAN port.
The DHCP / DHCP Client Range fields are used to “configure the DHCP Server in static IP” or “use DHCP Client not static IP”. DHCP：It can be configure as “Server”, “Client”, or “Disabled”. If you want to use DHCP client instead of static IP, select “Client”. If you want to enable the DHCP server, select “Server” and configure the DHCP Client Range. If you want to disable DHCP server, select “Disabled.
Clone MAC Address：If you want to use a specific MAC address instead of the default MAC address in the LAN port, configure the specific MAC address here. 4.3.2 WAN interface The WAN interface supports “Static IP”, “DHCP client”, “PPPoE”, and “PPTP”. It will be unavailable if the operation mode is bridge. Static IP Fill in all the information needed, such as IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and the IP address of DNS Server. DNS(Domain Name Server) is used to map domain names to IP addresses.
DHCP Client If WAN Access type chosen as DHCP Client, you can specify the IP address of DNS server manually or attain from DHCP server. PPPoE If you connect your WIFI-ATA directly to your broadband modem, you probably need to use PPPoE as IP type. Then, you need to enter the User Name and Password that provided by the ITSP into the fields accordingly. There are three connection type “Continuous”, “Connect on demand”, and “Manual”. Continuous：Always connect if the line is available.
PPTP PPTP(Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) is designed as an extension of PPP, it encapsulates PPP packets into IP datagram for transmission over the Internet or other public TCP/IP based networks. Please contact with the ITSP for detail settings. Others Enable uPNP：Allow the device to be found and configured automatically by the system. (Ex. Window XP) Enable Web Server Access on WAN ： Allow others to access the web configuration page from internet.
4.4 VoIP Settings The fourth feature set of WIFI-ATA is about the VoIP related settings which contains “SIP Basic settings”, “SIP Advanced settings”, “NAT Traversal”, “Call Settings” and “Dial Settings“. 4.4.1 SIP Basic settings This is the most important part of WIFI-ATA which is for activating your VoIP service. Fill in the information you have from ITSP and enter into fields accordingly.
4.4.2 SIP Advanced settings SIP Advanced settings contain many other SIP parameters. Some will influence the voice quality, like “Codec Priority” and “VAD”. Some must collocate with the SIP server, like “Reg Expire” and “DTMF relay”. And some must collocate with the analog phone, like “Volume”, “Gain”, “Flash Time”, and “Country”. Codec Priority：Codec stands for Coder / Decoder which converting your voice into VoIP packets.
SIP / Media Port：Configure the local SIP / Media Port. In most cases, you don’t need to change it. DTMF Relay：Dial Tone Multi Frequency(DTMF), which is used for sending to the SIP server in ITSP. Basically, there are three kinds of DTMF type used in VoIP world. Choose the one your ITSP allow you to use, otherwise you might encounter problems. SIP / Voice Qos：Quality of Service(QoS), which is used for prioritizing the packets based on urgency which is set in part of the packet.
4.4.3 NAT Traversal For sharing the Internet access, routers provide a function called NAT, Network Address Translation. It helps many computers / network devices can use just one public IP address. However, it’s not friendly to VoIP devices. NAT Traversal can help VoIP devices to get through the NAT successfully in order to complete the voice communication. WIFI-ATA supports two NAT traversal method “STUN” and “Manual mapping”. STUN has been described in section 1.3.2 .
4.4.4 Call Settings This page contains call forward and call waiting settings. Call Forward is used for the situations which you can’t receive the calls in front of the phone and you don’t want to miss the calls. By setting the Call Forward, all the incoming calls will be forwarded to the phone number you set according to the situation. There are three types of forwarding; “Unconditional Forward,” “Busy Forward,” and “No Answer Forward.
4.4.5 Dial Settings This page contains speed dial and dial plan rule settings. Speed Dial is a bit like shortcut. Through setting the speed dials, you can call anyone in the speed dial list simply by dialing “0#” to “9#” instead of entering the complete phone numbers. Dial Plan is used for setting the specific kind of dialing pattern. Any number you dial not matching the pattern won’t work. You can place calls in a short way as the rules define.
4.4.6 Auto Provision The function is only applicable when your WIFI-ATA needs to get the configuration file that is provided by specific service providers, like IP-PBX or UTStarcom. If it is the case, then you don’t need to configure the SIP related settings. For more information, please contact with your service provider. Service Provider：Select the service provider. (only for ZT-9050.) or UTStarcom (UTSI profile). Provision Type：Select how to get the configuration file.
4.5 Wireless settings This feature set of WIFI-ATA is about the Wireless related settings which contains “Wireless Basic settings”, “Wireless Advanced settings”, “Security”, “Access Control” and “Site Survey“. 4.5.1 Wireless Basic Settings This page contains the basic settings of the wireless device. Disable Wireless LAN Interface：Shut down the wireless interface of the device. Band：The device supports 2.4GHz(B), 2.4GHz(G), and 2.4GHz(B+G) mixed modes.
Channel Number：The following table is the available frequencies (in MHz) for the 2.4-GHz radio: Channel No.
Authentication Type：The device supports two Authentication Types “Open system” and “Shared Key”. When you select “Share Key”, you need to setup “WEP” key in “Security” page (See the next section). The default setting is “Auto”. The wireless client can associate with the device by using one of the two types. Fragment Threshold：The fragment threshold determines the size at which packets are fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block).
802.11g Protection：Protection is the protocol feature the gives 802.11g compatibility with older 802.11b equipment. It does slow down 802.11g stations, but not by forcing them to use slower 802.11b data rates. When an access point activates protection, it "wraps" faster 802.11g transmissions with a slower, backwards-compatible frame. The slowdown comes from the backwards-compatibility wrapper, not a reduction in the data rate of the frame. 4.5.
When you decide to use the WEP encryption to secure your WLAN, please refer to the following setting of the WEP encryption: z 64-bit WEP Encryption：64-bit WEP keys are as same as the encryption method of 40-bit WEP. You can input 10 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f or A~F) or 5 ACSII chars. z 128-bit WEP Encryption：128-bit WEP keys are as same as the encryption method of 104-bit WEP. You can input 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f or A~F) or 10 ACSII chars.
WEP Encryption with 802.1x Setting：The device supports external RADIUS Server that can secure networks against unauthorized access. If you use the WEP encryption, you can also use the RADIUS server to check the admission of the users. By this way every user must use a valid account before accessing the Wireless LAN and requires a RADIUS or other authentication server on the network. An example is shown as following. You should choose WEP 64 or 128 bit encryption to fit with your network environment first.
WPA Authentication Mode：This device supports two WPA modes. For personal user, you can use the Pre-shared Key to enhance your security setting. This mode requires only an access point and client station that supports WPA-PSK. For Enterprise, authentication is achieved via WPA RADIUS Server. You need a RADIUS or other authentication server on the network. WPA / WPA2 Cipher Suite：Choose the cipher type of the WPA / WPA2 encryption.
4.5.4 Access Control Access Control is used to manage whose clients can connect to this Access Point. Allowed Listed：Only those clients whose wireless MAC addresses are in the list will be able to connect to this Access Point. Deny Listed：These wireless clients on the list will not be able to connect to this Access Point. 4.5.5 Site Survey Site Survey is used to show how many wireless access points are deployed in this environment.
4.6 Firew all settings This feature set of WIFI-ATA is about firewall functions which contain “Port Filtering”, “IP Filtering”, “MAC Filtering”, “Port Forwarding”, “URL Filtering”, and “DMZ” These are all only available in Gateway mode or WISP mode. 4.6.1 Port Filtering When you enable the Port Filtering function, you can specify a single port or port ranges in filter table.
4.6.3 MAC Filtering When you enable the MAC Filtering function, you can specify the MAC Addresses in filter table. Once the source MAC Address of outgoing packets matches the MAC Address definition in the table, they will be blocked by the firewall. 4.6.4 Port Forwarding This function allows you to automatically redirect common network services to a specific machine behind the NAT firewall.
4.6.5 URL Filtering When you enable the URL Filtering function, you can specify some HTTP URLs in filter table. If the PCs in the local private network want to access these webpage in the filter table, it will be blocked by the firewall. 4.6.6 DMZ A Demilitarized Zone is used to provide Internet services without sacrificing unauthorized access to its local private network.
4.7 Management This feature set of WIFI-ATA is about the system related information and management settings which contains “Status”, “Statistics”, “DDNS”, “Time Zone Setting”, “Log”, “Upgrade Firmware”, “Save/Reload Settings” and “Password“. 4.7.1 Access Point Status This page shows the information about the firmware version, current wireless status, current network settings, and VoIP version. 4.7.2 Statistics This page statistics how many packets are sent or received in each network device.
4.7.3 Dynamic DNS Setting Dynamic DNS is a service, that provides you with a valid, unchanging, internet domain name (an URL) to go with that (possibly ever changing) IP-address. If you are not using a fixed IP, you might have to configure the DDNS to let the internet domain name of this device can connect to this device correctly. 4.7.4 Time Zone Setting This page is used to configure current system time. And you could enable the NTP to adjust the system time with NTP server synchronously.
4.7.5 System log This page shows the system event logs if you enable it. If you want to put these logs to remote log server to restore these logs, enable the remote log and fill the remote log server address. 4.7.6 Upgrade Firmware This page is used to upgrade firmware. Be sure that you had got the correct model firmware, or you might damage the system.
4.7.7 Save / Reload Settings You could restore current device settings as a config file to your computer, upload this config file to another device, and reset all settings to default value in this page. 4.7.8 Password Setup This page is used to configure the user name and password for login to the webpage. The default user name and password are empty.

Ch. 5 FAQ & Troubleshooting This following highlights some potential problems and the corresponding reactions. 5.1 How can I make a phone call? Make sure you have done all the settings of your WIFI-ATA, and the Register LED is on. Just pick up the phone and dial the number and ending with the pound key “#”, then you can talk the counter part you’re party once he/she answers the call. 5.
5.3 How can I make a 3-w ay conference call? Making 3-way conference call is pretty similar to making phone call; just follow the steps below, and your 3-way conference will be there for you. 1. Make a phone call to the first phone number. 2. After the call is established, press the Flash button. You will hear the Dial tone, and then make the other phone call to the second phone number. 3. When the second call is established, press the Flash button again.
5.7 Why can’t I make VoIP phone calls to others? Please check the “VoIP Basic Settings” webpage, and compared if all the information your ITSP gave you has been entered into WIFI-ATA correctly. 5.8 WIFI-ATA doesn’t respond correctly to key press sometimes. If the behavior of WIFI-ATA is not so properly especially you need to dial the number after the phone connection has established, such as dialing the extension numbers, the DTMF setting is probably wrong.
