SETTING UP A SERVICE PROVIDER PROFILE
If you are using a TalkSwitch-certified VoIP service provider, visit the support section at
http://
global.talkswitch.com

Otherwise use the procedures in this section.
A service provider profile contains the registration details for connecting to the service
provider’s SIP server.
1. Start the TalkSwitch management software.
2. Select the
VoIP Configuration
page.
3. Select a
Profile

SP 1
to
SP 4
), which are for configuring service provider profiles.
4. Select the
Activate Profile
check box.
5. Enter the
Profile name
. The default profile name is
Service provider n
(e.g.
Service provider 1
).
6. If your service provider requires you to register using your private IP address, select the
Disable public IP address substitution
check box.
7. If your service provider requires you to set up keep alive messages, and if your router does
