Placing Calls
• You can place a Bria call so long as you are not already on two Bria calls.
• You can place a native call regardless of the state of Bria.

received in the usual way. Therefore, you should be prepared to accept or decline a native call.
Established Calls
• This version of Bria is not able to recognize/detect native calls. When you answer or place a native call
during a Bria call, the Bria call does not go on hold automatically; you need to put it on hold.

Wi-Fi Refresh Interval The timer interval between Bria’s attempts to register in order to refresh the account registration
over Wi-Fi network. This value is placed in the “Expires” header field of the SIP REGISTER
message. Change this value only if advised to do so by your VoIP service provider.
Mobile Refresh Interval Same as above, except the interval applies to registration made over the mobile data network.
Keep Alive - Wi-Fi Interval A “keep alive” message is a mechanism for maintaining a “pinhole” through your firewall so that
the account registration is maintained. The interval specifies how often the message is sent (in
seconds).
If you are experiencing problems (for example, accounts become unregistered when using a Wi-
Fi connection), try setting this interval to a lower number such as 20.

Field Description
Network Traversal Strategy Tap to display the choices; see below.
RTP Port Start Change this value only if advised to do so by your VoIP service provider.
This indicates the start of the ports range used for RTP and RTCP sessions. The range is
100 ports wide. The range is not observed if ICE is used. The default is 4000.
Audio Codecs Selection Tap to display more information about these two fields. See page 30.
Verify TLS Cert Applies only if you use TLS as the transport.
• On (default): Bria attempts to verify the certificate, sent by the SIP server, to see if it is
trusted. For the certificate to be trusted, a corresponding CA certificate, provided by
your VoIP provider, must be installed on your device.
• Off: Bria accepts the certificate without attempting to verify it.
Enable RPort • On: the outgoing INVITE message will have an RPort parameter inside the Via
header, which indicates that Bria supports RFC 3581. If the server also supports RFC
3581, the server should respond with the RPort parameter set to the incoming public
IP port and the received parameter set to the public IP address. This is the default
behavior in previous Bria versions.
• Off: Bria does not have the RPort parameter in the Via header.
Enable PRACK • On: Bria advertises that it supports “100rel” and allows PRACK, as defined in RFC
3262. The outgoing INVITE message will have “100rel” in the Supported header and
“PRACK” in the Allow header. This is the default behavior in previous Bria versions.
• Off: Bria will not advertise these features; there will be no “100rel” in the Supported
header.
Encode # in URI • On (default): Bria escapes a hash character (#) used in the user part of SIP URI, as
required by RFC 3261.
• Off: Bria does not escape a hash character and sends it as is. Turn this setting of f if you
are having trouble making outgoing calls to a number with a hash character.
Verbose Logging Leave this setting OFF unless customer support instructs you to turn it ON in order to
troubleshoot a problem you are having on your device. See page 33.

Network Traversal Strategy
Select a profile:
• Application Managed: STUN Wi-Fi ON, STUN Mobile OFF, 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 either both your public and private 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 desi red.
Bria BlackBerry Edition User Guide
Field Description
DNS SRV • ON: Bria will use DNS SRV 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.
STUN Wi-Fi • ON: 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. T ypically, Global IP should be set to OFF to assure that the private IP address is
used for SIP signaling.
STUN Mobile This setting has the same function as STUN Wi-Fi, but applies only when you are connected
over the mobile network.

in the list. See below.
Audio Codecs Selection
Mobile Audio Codecs Wi-Fi Audio Codecs
These two screens list the audio codecs that can be used during a Wi-Fi call or mobile data call. 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.
You can prioritize codecs by selecting it and tapping the up or down button in the list. Codecs higher in the list
are given a higher priority in the offer, when negotiating codecs with the other party. Therefore, moving a c odec
higher should improve its chances of being chosen.
G.722 is a wideband codec. 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.
Data usage for the codecs, from high to low usage, is: G.722, G.711, iLBC, GSM, G.729a.

• The modification to make if the input matches that pattern: removing a prefix, adding a prefix, or removing
one prefix and adding another one. Subsequence substitution is also supported.
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 symbols
[ ] A collection that can include range. 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.

Advanced Dial Plan: Subsequence Substitution
The match pattern can include a sequence of numbers to match and another sequence to substit ute for the match.
This feature is useful if you want to convert a sequence with in the input, not just add or remove a prefix.
The syntax is:
<input sequence : substitute sequence>
For example: <604:250> means change the sequence “604” to “250”.
The sequence substitution element can be combined with any other elements in the match pattern. For examp le :
+x.<604:250>x. would change match +6045551212 and +16135556040 and in both cases change the “604” to
“250”.

C Glossary
Bria call A call made using the Bria screen. Compare to “native call”.
Codec 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.

response menu systems such as the menu system for accessing voicemail messages.
The DTMF system allows the user to interact with the menu by pressing keys on a
dialpad or keyboard.
ICE Interactive Connectivity Establishment. A method for traversing a firewall.
IP address A unique number that identifies a device. Devices on a network use the IP address to
communicate with each other.
