3.2. IP interface connection modes.
In order to establish an IP communication, first we need to choose one among three available
connection modes within the “INTERFACE” drop-down menu: “PROXY SIP”, “DIRECT SIP” and
“RTP Point to Point (RAW)”.
We can access the IP configuration submenu by clicking on “I/F Setup”. This menu is described
in sections 6.1.4.2 and 6.1.4.3 of “AEQ ControlPHOENIX” user’s manual.
It is important to know the details of each type of connection, so they are explained below.
3.2.1. PROXY SIP.
This type of connection is selected when the Phoenix MERCURY is used working together with
an external SIP server that will provide connection with remote unit through any network, even
Internet, without knowing its IP address. Both units (local and remote) must be registered in SIP
server, which function is to maintain a database with the registered codecs, storing their
connection parameters (IP address, audio ports…) in order to ease the task of making calls
between them even when connected to different networks.
In order to make a call in Proxy SIP mode, you must take into account that for the
URI
or SIP
identifier of the equipment in question you can use any of the following syntaxes:
o
<unit_name>
, for instance: “
phxme_231” o “phoenixMaster
”
o
<unit_name>@<realm_SIP_server>
, for instance:
“
” or “
”
o
<unit_name>@< SIP_server _IP>
, for instance:
“
” or “
” (where
232.168.1.2. is the AEQ´s SIP server “
sip.aeq.es
”)
o
<unit_name>@<SIP_server _IP>:<Port>
, when the SIP port of SIP server
is not the 5060 (SIP Standard port) the identifier must include the used port,
for instance:
[email protected]:5061
When you create a Call Book, these fields describing a contact can
be modified in the Call Book that can be accessed from a codec
individual control window through the “Contacts” option in
“Configuration” (see section 5.1.7 of “AEQ ControlPHOENIX” user’s
manual). In order to call a same contact using different IP modes (as
defined in “INTERFACE“ drop-down menu), different contact entries
must be created.
You can access the IP configuration submenu for PROXY SIP mode by clicking on “
I/F
Setup
“ button, and that it is explained in section 6.1.4.2 of “AEQ ControlPHOENIX“
user’s manual.
•
In
“
SIP Parameters
“ submenu you can find:
-
User Name:
enables you to edit the name of the unit and how it will be reflected
in the diverse internal menus of the unit. For a start we recommend you not to
change the configured default User Name, “phxme_231” for instance.
-
Display Name:
editable name. This is the public name of the equipment that
will be used in SIP server, so you can recognize the equipment with this
identifier externally to the system.
-
Proxy Provider:
enables you to select the external SIP server with which the
unit will work from a previously stored list. By default, AEQ server will be
selected.
