Voice over IP (VoIP)
122
•
RTP call data is also exchanged directly between terminals for SIP telephony, so
different codecs can be used for sending and for receiving. It is also possible to
change codecs dynamically during a call. You should use every codec available in
the VoIP profile at least once, because this will enable you to establish connections
with as many SIP subscribers as possible.
•
Fairly large packet lengths are quite normal on the Internet. They compensate for
the longer packet propagation delay.
•
A bidirectional RTP data stream with a dynamically-assigned UDP port number is
used to set up calls between subscribers. For this reason, incoming RTP calls often
fail to get past the Firewall or NAT configuration of the Internet gateway product
used. If you do not use the OpenCom 100 as the Internet gateway, the product
should be compatible with SIP telephony. These products provide a “Full Cone
NAT” setting for this application.
•
To enable the use of multiple devices on a single Internet connection, the IP
addresses used in a LAN (often 192.168.x.x) are translated to a valid IP address
using address translation (NAT - Network Address Translation), but no status infor-
mation is available for NAT on an incoming RTP connection. To avoid this problem,
the IP address of a workstation computer or telephone visible on the Internet is
determined using a STUN server (STUN: Simple Traversal of UDP over NAT). You
can ask your SIP provider for the STUN server’s IP address and port number. If you
don’t need a STUN server, leave the
SIP Provider
field empty.
•
For direct SIP telephony using OpenCom 100, only SIP IDs consisting of numbers
for identifying subscribers registered with the SIP provider specified can be
addressed

the routing of numbers within a specific range to use SIP telephony as a pref-
