Wi-Fi field:
• If it has a checkmark and a message such as “Connected to MyEnterprise”, then your phone has a WiFi connection. Go to the next step.
• If it has no checkmark and the line “Turn on Wi-Fi”, then t ap the fie ld to tu rn on Wi-Fi and wait for the
message “Connected to MyEnterprise”
• If the message does not appear, tap Wi-Fi settings (the next field). On the W i-Fi sett ings screen, ta p the

2.3 Setting up Presence and Instant Messaging
Presence and Messaging is a premium feature available as an in-app purchase. With Presence and Messaging,
you can share online status with your buddies (such as Available, Away, On the phone), and exchange instant
messages with them.
Bria supports the XMPP protocol and the SIP SIMPLE protocol. Y ou can create an XMPP account on Bria with
your Gmail or Facebook credentials to communicate with your buddies. To use a SIP account for Presence and
Messaging, make sure your VoIP service provider supports this service for SIP SIMPLE. Texting (sending
SMS) to PSTN phone numbers is also available if your VoIP service provider supports this service.
To use the Presence and Messaging feature for XMPP and/or SIP SIMPLE, you need to purchase the feature
from Google Play. To do so, go to Settings > Premium Features, and follow the prompt (see page 52 for details).
After the purchase, the Messages tab appears at the bottom of Bria. Then follow the steps below, depending on
the protocol you want to use.
For XMPP
T o use the Presence and Messaging feature for XMPP, you need to create an XMPP account with the credentials
such as Gmail or Facebook. As soon as your account is connected to an XMPP server, your buddies appear on
your Buddies list.

3.2 Interaction between Bria and Native Phone
Contacts
• Bria uses your contacts saved on your phone. Bria’ s co ntacts are continually syn chronized with your native
contacts; adding, modifying or deleting a contact from one list updates the other list.
Placing Calls
• You can place a Bria call so long as you are not already on a native call or not already on two Bria calls.
• You can place a native call regardless of the state of Bria.
Incoming Calls
• An incoming Bria call rings on your phone unless you are on a native call or you are already on two Bria
calls. In both these cases, the new incoming call will go to Bria voicemail instead.
• Incoming native calls: Being on a Bria call has no impact on your native phone: native calls will be
received in the usual way. Therefore, you should be prepared to accept or decline a native call.
Established Calls
• If you accept an incoming native call, any live Bria call goes on hold. You will not be able to take the Bria
call off hold until you end the native call.
• You can have up to two Bria calls established at the same time and switch between them.

No one can call you; the call fails and your call history shows a missed call. Your buddies can send
you IM; an alert comes up on the Messages/IM tab.
When you make or receive phone calls, Bria automatically updates your status to “On The Phone” if
your status is “Available“ and no custom note is specified. When your call finishes, your status goes
back to “Available“.
While you are on the phone, you can still send and receive IMs.
You are able to see presence of your buddies, but your buddies see you as offline. You will actually
receive phone calls and IMs if your buddies do contact you; they are unlikely to do so because your
buddies cannot tell the difference between “Appear Offline“ and you really being offline.

4.6 Responding to Buddy Requests
When using an XMPP account, you may receive a buddy request. You must respond to the request.
When using a SIP account for presence, you will not recei ve a buddy request. As soon as th e person on the other
end registers your softphone number on the client, the person will see your presence without your acceptance.
Similarily, you will see someone’s presence right away without having to wait for the person’s response.

Network Traversal Strategy
Speak to your VoIP service provider about the strategy to use. Make sure that
you change the STUN Server field.
•Application Managed: STUN On and DNS SRV On.
Bria will use the specified STUN server to discover the public address of your
device. It will present your public address for SIP signaling. When
negotiating media routing, it will present both your pub lic and priv ate
addresses or just your public address depending on the ICE settings under
Account Advanced.
•Server Managed: STUN Off and DNS SRV On.
Bria will present your device’s private address for SIP signaling and when
negotiating media routing. Choose this option if your VoIP service provider
advises you that it has implemented a network-hosted NAT traversal (or farend NAT traversal) technology such as a session border controller (SBC),
media proxy or RTP relay.
•Custom Configuration: Set the settings as desired.
Field Description
STUN Wi-Fi • On (checked): Bria will use a STUN server to discover your public IP address.
• Off: Bria does not discover your public IP address. Therefore, only the private IP
address will be used. Typically in this case, Global IP should be turned off.
STUN Mobile This setting has the same function as STUN, but applies only when you are connected
over mobile network.
DNS SRV • On (checked): Bria will use DNS SR V to discover the network addresses for your
VoIP service provider's VoIP-related services such as a STUN server, if any.
• Off: Bria will not use DNS SRV for discovery. Only turn this setting off if your
system administrator advises you to do so.
STUN Server Used only if STUN is on. The default is stun.counterpath.com but we recommend that
you change this to an address provided by your VoIP service provider. CounterPath
cannot guarantee the availability of their STUN server.

Audio Codecs Selection
Codecs are programs in Bria involved in transmitting audio; each codec has different characteristics and
therefore each works better in some situations than in others.
In general, it is desirable to have se veral code cs enab led. Mak e sure that there are common codecs be tween you
and the remote peer, otherwise your call will fail with a 488 error.
Novice and Non-technical Users
We recommend you use the default setting/priority and let Bria select the best codec to use in a given situation.
Technically Savvy Users
You may choose to enable one, some or all codecs. If only one codec is enabled, all calls will be made with that
codec. If more than one is enabled, Bria negotiates the codec to use (from among the enabled codecs) with the
other person. If no codecs are enabled, Bria uses G.711u.
You can prioritize codecs by tapping t he Up or Down ic on in the list. Codecs higher in the list are gi ven a higher
priority in the offer, when negotiating codecs with the other party. Therefore, moving a codec higher should
improve its chances of being chosen.
G.722, AMR-WB and SILK-WB are wideband codecs. All other codecs are narrowband. When a wideband
codec is used, data usage will be higher and audio quality will generally be better. When a narrowband codec is
used, data usage may be lower but audio quality may be affected.
The optional G.729a codec will provide you the best performance (audio quality and bandwidth usage/cost)
when using mobile network for phone calls.

CounterPath Corporation
5.4 Premium Features
Premium Features offer items that you can purchase to use on Bria.
•G.729a codec is a narrowband audio codec that is intended for low bandwidth
use. It is particularly recommended if you will be making calls over mobile
network because it provides better audio quality on your mobile data connection.
•AMR-WB codec is a wideband codec that provides superior sound quality due
to a wider speech bandwidth.
•Presence and Messaging allows you to send instant messages to your buddies
and share your online status (presence) with them. You can use this feature on
XMPP accounts (such as Gmail or Facebook) and/ or SIP accou nts, de pend ing on
whether your VoIP service provider supports this feature for SIP SIMPLE. With
SIP accounts, you can also send SMS to PSTN phone numbers if your VoIP
service provider supports this feature.
•Video Calls allows you to make video calls to softphone numbers over Wi-Fi
and mobile data network. The H.264 codec and the VP8 codec are supported.
Make sure that your VoIP service provider supports video calls before the

B Dial Plans
You can create a dial plan in order to modify a phone number used in a phone call (the “input”), in order to
ensure the call is placed successfully. For example, you could create a dial plan to change any number that starts
with “+1613” to just “613”.
Setting up Dial Plans
You can create up to eight dial plans for an account. Dial plans are account-specific, so make sure you set up a
plan for each account that needs one. Bria goes through the dial plans in the order in which they appear on the
screen.
Go to Settings > Accounts > tap the account. Scroll down.
54
Bria Android Edition User Guide
Designing the Dial Plan
A dial plan has two parts:
• A pattern (the match number) that the phone number (the input) must match.
• The modification to make if the input matches that pattern: removing a prefix, adding a prefix, or removing
one prefix and adding another one.
Example 1
Match number: +1613x. Remove Prefix: +1613 Add Prefix: 9
If the input starts with “+1613”, then re move th e “+16 13 ” then add “9 ” a nd dia l the n umber. So +16135550012
is dialed as 95550012.
Example 2
Match number: [2-9]xxxxxxxxx Add Prefix: 1
If the input is a 10-digit number starting with a number other than 1, then add “1” and dial the number. So
6045550012 is dialed as 16045550012.
The Pattern
The pattern can be made up of any combination of the following:
Element Description
0 to 9 Any digit
x A single wildcard
* # + These keyboard symbols
[ ] A collection that can include a r ange. For example [ 6-9] means 6 7
8 9. Or [136-9] means 1 3 6 7 8 9.
. Repeat the last element 0 or more times. For example, with the
pattern “12.” the following input will match:
1 (The “2” is repeated zero times)
12
122
1222 and so on
The Modification
The modification can add or remove characters and can be made up of digits, wildcards or symbols.
