VoIP Phones - Generic Client: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 14:44, 24 Mayıs 2024

Normally a SIP phone will ask for a server, username and password in order to authenticate the phone to the server. These are usually called different things on different phones, but generally all you need to know the server address (voiceless.aa.net.uk), use your phone number in International format as the username and then use the password that has been set on the Control Pages for that number.

We may have more specific configuration help if your phone is listed on the VoIP Phones page.

Generic VoIP Client Settings
Setting	Value
Registrar/server Address:	voiceless.aa.net.uk
Proxy:	Leave blank
Domain:	voiceless.aa.net.uk
port	5060
Account Name/Username/Auth Name	Your Number, e.g. +441234567890
Password	Your SIP Password
CODEC	PCM A-Law (G.711a)
Username	A username to use in SIP packets (e.g. fredbloggs)
Name	A real name to use in SIP packets (e.g. Fred Bloggs)
Register Expiration	Lower is better if behind NAT - eg every 10 minutes (600 seconds)
Keepalive	Lower is better if behind NAT - eg every 30 seconds

If you have to enter something that looks like an email address, or has sip: at the front it probably needs your number, an @, and then your server, e.g. +441234567890@voiceless.aa.net.uk

Firewall & Security

You will also want to set up firewall rules, as per the VoIP Firewall page.
Also see the VoIP Security page for information about securing your VoIP service.
