Enter the value specified by your VoIP service provider.
Strategy Tap to display the choices; see below.
VAD • ON (default): audio is not transmitted when no one is speaking. Turning this feature
on may reduce bandwidth usage.
• OFF: audio is transmitted when no one is speaking.
QoS If desired, ask your VoIP service provider if QoS is supported. QoS (Quality of Service)
can allow your phone calls to be given a higher priority on the network.
Higher Priority • ON: When ON and you are using Wi-Fi, then if a narrow-band codec is available, it
will be given a higher priority in the media negotiation with the other person, which
may result in that codec being used.
• OFF: When OFF and you are using Wi-Fi, a narrow-band codec will not be given a
higher priority in the negotiation.
When a narrow-band codec is used, data usage may be lower but audio quality may be
affected. When a wide-bad codec is used, data usage will be higher and audio quality will
generally be better.
When you are using 3G, it does not matter if this setting is ON or OFF because narrowband codecs are automatically given higher priority on 3G calls.
SIP Transport Tap to display the choices. Contact your VoIP service provider to identify the types of
transport that are supported.
• UDP and TCP do not support signal encryption.
• TLS does support signal encryption. If TLS is selected, a given call will be encrypted
if the other person also uses TLS. You may also need to install a certificate on your
iPhone; speak to your VoIP service provider.

CounterPath Corporation
Field Description
Encrypt Audio If the transport is set to TLS, you can encrypt a phone call at the media (audio) level:
• Never: Audio is not encrypted.
• If Possible: On a given call, audio will be encrypted if the other person supports and is
also using audio encryption. If not, audio will not be encrypted.
• Always: Audio will always be encrypted. The call will fail if the other person cannot
accept encrypted calls.
SIP Registration Refresh The timer interval between Bria's attempts to register in order to refresh the account
registration.
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.
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 computer. See page 22.
Send Log Press the button to upload the current log to your provider.
Call Statistics To show detailed information about the current/last call. For example, the number of
packets lost.
Network Traversal Strategy
Select a profile.
• Application Managed (default): Bria will use STUN and ICE to determine the best route for media traffic
during calls.
• Server Managed: Choose this option if your VoIP service provider advises you that it has implemented a
network-hosted NAT traversal (or far-end NAT traversal) technology such as a session border controller
(SBC), media proxy or RTP relay.
• User Specified: Global IP, STUN, ICE and DNS SRV are all on by default, but you can turn any of them
off, and you can also specify a different STUN server (assuming STUN is used).
Field Description
Global IP • ON: Bria will publish its public IP address at the signaling level. The public address
may not work with some NATs or firewalls.
• OFF: Bria will publish its private IPs at the signaling level. Typically, you turn this
field off only if instructed to do so by your VoIP service provider.
STUN • ON: Bria will use a STUN server to discover its public IP address. The public IP
address will be presented as the address that the remote party must send media (aud io)
packets to.
• OFF: The private IP address will be presented as the address that the remote party
must send media (audio) packets to. Try turning OFF STUN if you are not using
iPhone behind a firewall or NAT.
