If you cannot find your provider in the list, please select the Custom
settings in the list and enter all information provided by your VoIP

provider into all fields in the tabs Account and Connection. This includes
authentication data (login, number and password), realm server which is
used for authentication, SIP proxy addresses and STUN server.

Note: Some providers (e.g. Ecuity) require extra authentication
information - the Login name field. In case your provider gave you
a Login name, along with the number and password, please enter it
into the login field. Otherwise, you can leave the field empty. If you
use a predefined provider profile, it may happen that the Login name
field is greyed-out and you cannot edit it. This means, the provider
doesn’t require this information.

Note: Please make sure that the Audio In Device and Audio Out
Device fields are set to you sound card in order to use the headset for

communication.

4.2 Advanced Configuration

This section covers the configuration of the Corinex Softphone software
when a router is used for connection of the network to the Internet. The
router must be configured to pass VoIP packets from the user’s computer
to the Internet and back. There is a function in the router called Port
Forwarding. You must set up this function to open the default VoIP ports
5060 and 8000 to be forwarded to the computer with Corinex Softphone.

Note: If there are more users in the network, using SIP software, they
cannot use the same SIP and RTP ports for VoIP calls. If they use the
same ports, the router will not be able to recognize users and the
software won’t work properly. Please set up port forwarding for all
users.

You can change service provider at any time by clicking on MENU->Change
service provider. Highlight the name of the service provider (or custom
settings). If you have set up the account previously, the settings of your
choice will automatically be loaded into the Softphone and the phone will
be ready for use. Otherwise, start the wizard and enter your new details.

25

Using the Corinex Softphone Software

Corinex Internet Phone with Headset

After these settings, please click Apply. On the Softphone, the following
information will show up and the software will try to register with the VoIP
service provider.

After successful registering, the name of the service provider will be displayed,
for example Free World Dialup as seen below. Now the software is waiting for
your input using the interface on the screen.

Example:

- User A has IP address 192.168.0.2, SIP port 5060 and RTP
port 8000

- User B has IP address 192.168.0.3, SIP port 5061 and RTP
port 8001

- The router should forward all UDP packets directed to ports 5060
and 8000 to the IP address 192.168.0.2 and all UDP packets
directed to ports 5061 and 8001 to the IP address 192.168.0.3

profile, it may happen that the Login name field is greyed-out and you
cannot edit it. This means, the provider doesn’t require this information.
