·Enable STUN
STUN (Simple Traversal of UDP through NATs) is a protocol for assisting devices
behind a NAT firewall or router with their packet routing.
·STUN Address
The STUN server allows clients to find out their public address, the type of NAT
they are behind and the internet side port associated by the NAT with a
particular local port. This information is used to set up UDP communication
between the client and the VOIP provider and so establish a call.
·External IP Address
The IP address will be associated with outbound SIP messages if the system is
in a NAT environment.
·External Host
Alternatively you can specify an external host, and the system will perform DNS
queries periodically.
This setting is only required when your public IP address is not static. It is
recommended that a static public IP address be used with this system. Please
contact your ISP for more information.
·External Refresh Interval
If an external host has been supplied, you may specify how often the system will
perform a DNS query on this host. This value is specified in seconds.
·Local Network Identification
Identify the local network using a network number/subnet mask pair when the
system is behind a NAT or firewall.
Some examples of this are as follows:
'192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0' : All RFC 1918 addresses are local networks;
'10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0' : Also RFC1918;
'172.16.0.0/12':Another RFC1918 with CIDR notation;
'169.254.0.0/255.255.0.0' : Zero conf local network.
Please refer to RFC1918 for more information.
·NAT Mode
Global NAT configuration for the system. The options for this setting are as
follows:
Yes = Use NAT. Ignore address information in the SIP/SDP headers and reply to
the sender's IP address/port.
No = Use NAT mode only according to RFC3581.
Never = Never attempt NAT mode or RFC3581 support.
Route = Use NAT but do not include rport in headers.
