Configuration advice

Note: The configuration includes comprehensive online help. Clicking on a

colored title opens an additional window that contains the help text on
this topic.

The following description is an excerpt from the online help for the tiptel 40 VoIP.

Configuration procedure

1. First check the network settings under Network:

The use of manually assigned IP addresses is recommended. In this case it is
important that you include information for the standard gateway and name server
(DNS) so that the device can connect to your VoIP provider. In most cases this is the
IP address of your ADSL router.

2. Set up SIP account

Go to the "Internet telephony/SIP account" form

Now check the "SIP settings" under "Provider" to see whether your SIP provider is
listed in the factory defaults. Click on the "List of Providers" field. A list of available
providers is shown.

If your SIP provider is not listed, you will then have to set up a new provider.

3. Set up SIP provider.

Go to the "Internet telephony/SIP provider" menu.

4. Set up SIP account.

Go to the "Internet telephony/SIP account" form

5. Configure the SIP and RTP ports.

If you are not operating any other VoIP devices in your network, you can leave the
port settings unchanged.

6. Set up port forwarding/virtual servers in the ADSL router.

You need to ensure that the UDP ports you set up in the firewall of your ADSL router
in step 5 are forwarded to the IP address of the adapter. You will find information on
this in your ADSL router instruction manual.

15

Configuration

The status column should display "registered" for the SIP account that you created. If
this is not the case due to the last changes, click on the symbol to re-execute the
registration.

Overview

The overview page shows you a window displaying the status of all SIP accounts that
have been set up.

Choose a name from the SIP account column. A window with all the SIP account
settings is displayed. The call number column always lists the first call number of a
SIP account. The Status column indicates whether an SIP account is registered or if
an error has occurred.

The dialing code that enables manual selection of an SIP account is listed under
Specific SIP account. This is an alternative to selecting the SIP account using the
outgoing call number.

By clicking the

Note: Please note that when checking for errors, the network status and

network settings are checked.

symbol you can re-register the corresponding account with the SIP

Setting up/changing a SIP account

Before you can use the device to place calls it is necessary to set up an SIP account.
Using the information contained in the SIP account the device is then able to log in to
the SIP provider.

Now check the "SIP settings" under "Provider" to see whether your SIP provider is
listed in the factory defaults. Click on the "List of Providers" field. A list of available
providers is shown.

•

Select your SIP provider from the list. The provider that is selected is
displayed in the right column. The list displays all providers that you have
created followed by those created as defaults. The providers created by
default are also designated with a country symbol. If you also want to see a

17

Internet telephony

list of all foreign providers that were specified by default, you need to check
"Foreign Providers".

•

If your SIP provider is not listed, you will next have to set up a new provider.
To do so, go to the "Internet telephony/SIP provider" menu.

If you would like to save changes for a SIP account, press the "Apply" button. "Reset"
will restore the last settings that were changed as long as these have not yet been
transmitted to the device.

Note: Depending on the changes that have been made, the device will

automatically log off from the provider and re-register itself with the new
settings. Any existing voice connections are terminated.

Account

Here you choose whether you would like to change an existing account or create a
new one.

Go to “Account name” and enter a name of your choice to designate the data record.
You can choose any name for the account as it is irrelevant to communications with
your SIP provider.

Note: Changing the name of the account later will only change the existing

data record. No additional copy of the data record is created.

You can switch off the SIP account as necessary using “Account active” (on/off). The
SIP account is then temporarily logged off from the SIP provider. Then you will be
unable to make calls using this account.

SIP settings

Provider

Select your SIP provider from the list. The provider that is selected is displayed in the
right column.

The list displays all providers that you have created followed by those created as
defaults. The providers created by default are also designated with a country symbol.
If you also want to see a list of all foreign providers that were specified by default, you
need to check "Foreign Providers".

You can also create additional providers. To do so, go to the "Internet telephony/SIP
provider" menu.

18

Internet telephony

Displayed name

In the case of some providers/devices the name of the person you are calling is
shown instead of the call number.

Username/SIP-ID, Password, Authentication

Please refer to the user registration information provided by your SIP provider.

Note: The input fields for Displayed name, User name/SIP-ID, and

Authentication in our experience are called different names depending
on the provider. Often the authentication input is dropped altogether.

Note: After choosing a default provider, the input fields for “Displayed name”,

“User name/SIP-ID”, and “Authentication” are labeled in the same way
they are found in the provider’s registration documentation. This should
simplify the input of settings.

Call number 1

Enter the call number of your SIP account. Also enter this number in the connected
ISDN unit.

The entered ISDN call number is used as follows:

If you would like to make an outgoing VoIP call using the ISDN device, the SIP
account is chosen using the phone's own ISDN call number. Then the VoIP
connection is established.

Note: Alternatively you can also choose an SIP account for outgoing VoIP calls using
the specific SIP account dialing code found on the overview page.

With an incoming VoIP call, the registered phone number is used for an SIP account
in order to call the connected ISDN device.

Note: You can enter up to ten call numbers if necessary. By checking the

"Additional call numbers” field, you can make other input fields visible.
The first call number is always transmitted for outgoing calls.

Note: If you have entered multiple phone numbers for an SIP account and the

provider does not register call numbers for VoIP calls, only the terminal
with the first call number is called.

19

Internet telephony

Voice compression

Adjust the desired compression of voice data with this setting. Please note that the
voice quality can deteriorate. In addition, the compression you have selected has to
be supported by the Internet telephony provider and by the terminal.

Registration interval

The registration interval is the span of time that passes until the device re-registers
with your Internet telephony provider.

If you have a DSL provider that performs a forced disconnect once a day and your
DSL modem assigns a new IP address, you should enter a small value for the
registration interval. In the time between the forced disconnect and a new registration
it is possible that you cannot be reached by VoIP and that you cannot make any VoIP
calls.

Overview of settings for the selected provider

If you click on the "More" view at the upper right of the menu bar, the current settings
for the provider are displayed.

The settings for user-defined SIP providers can be changed under "Internet
telephony/SIP provider". The parameters for a default SIP provider cannot be
changed. In this case, create a new SIP provider and make the desired changes.

Setting up/changing an SIP provider

On this page you can create SIP providers yourself. If you would like to communicate
via a SIP server in your local network, you also create an SIP provider. The number of
providers is limited to 20.

If you would like to save changes for a provider, press the "Apply" button. "Reset" will
restore the last settings that were changed as long as these have not yet been
transmitted to the device.

Note: A change to provider data is applied immediately to the SIP accounts

that use this provider. Depending on the change that has been made,
the device will automatically log off from the providers and will re­register itself with the new settings. Voice connections in progress are
terminated.

SIP provider

Here you choose whether you would like to create a new provider data record or
change an existing user-created data record.

20

Internet telephony

Enter the provider name to give the data record a designation. You can choose any
provider name as this is unimportant for communicating with your SIP provider.

Note: Changing the name of the provider later will only change the existing

data record. No additional copy of the data record is created.

Provider data

Your provider provides the addresses for realm, registrar, proxy server, STUN server.
Enter this data without spaces.

If you are running an SIP server on your local network, as an alternative you can also
enter the IP addresses.

Example: 192.168.20.180

Note: If your provider specifies a port for the STUN server that is not 3478,

enter the port as follows: Provider:Port

Example: stun.Provider.net:10000

Settings

SIP port

Here you can change the port for the SIP control protocol. If you need to set up port
forwarding in your DSL router, do this for UDP ports.

RTP ports

Voice data is exchanged via RTP ports. In our experience you must define an
individual RTP port range for each VoIP device. Specify the beginning of the range
with an even port number. Set up port forwarding for UDP ports in the DSL router for
the ports shown in green boxes.

Expert settings

These settings are displayed if you select expanded mode in the menu.

Maximum number of VoIP channels

You can reduce the number of VoIP channels here if your Internet connection only
has a limited amount of bandwidth, and you would like to reserve some bandwidth
for other internet services.

21

Internet telephony

Note: Note that the RTP port range as well as port forwarding in your router

may have to be adjusted. The size of the RTP port range depends on
how many VoIP channels are configured. Two RTP ports have to be
reserved for each VoIP channel or ISDN-B channel.

RTP packet size

This setting allows you to determine how long the device collects all voice data
packets that are to be sent before actually sending them. The shorter this time frame,
the greater the necessary bandwidth. Reason: the voice data is sent in smaller
packets. For each packet, however, what is known as a header has to be calculated.
This header is sent less frequently in the case of larger voice data packets.

If, however, a larger voice data packet does not reach the recipient, this is noticeable
due to an acoustic interruption.

Dejitter buffer size

Jitter describes the time fluctuation between receiving two data packets. To
compensate for time fluctuations, a buffer (dejitter buffer) is employed. When setting
the size of the dejitter buffer, please keep the following effects in mind:
Too small a dejitter buffer can result in voice interruptions if data packages with a
longer runtime are rejected.
If the buffer is too large, there may be a perceptible echo.

Time between two dialing digits

Use this setting to influence the maximum amount of time that may pass between the
last input of a dialed number and the placing of the call.

Note: You can accelerate the placing of the call by pressing the # button after

entering the last digit.

QoS for SIP (TOS/DiffServ), QoS for RTP (TOS/DiffServ)

These settings allow you to influence the prioritization of voice data in the
network/Internet.

Settings

Type/status

With the S0 you have the choice between system connection and multi-point
connection.

Please note that the switch is performed with a delay of a few seconds.
Conversations that are in progress are terminated.

Area code

If for an outgoing VoIP you dial a call number without an area code, the registered
area code is added automatically.
This is useful if the call numbers entered in your phonebook do not include your area
code. There are VoIP providers that require the complete call number consisting of
area code and subscriber call number in order to dial.

23

Update network status

In the yellow status window you will find the IP address currently used by the device.
Here you will also find the MAC address of the device.

You can call up the display again by pressing the "Refresh" link.

Network settings

IP Settings

On this page you can change the network parameters of the adapter.
If your network has a DHCP server for assigning IP addresses, you can use this.
Choose "Automatic IP address assignment" in the IP settings.

It is, however, recommended that you use a fixed IP address for VoIP because you
must, for example, also specify this for port forwarding in your DSL router. An IP
address that is dependent on the network environment and therefore changes
occasionally could interfere with VoIP operations. To choose a fixed IP address, go to
IP settings, choose "Use following IP address" and enter the IP address, sub-network
mask, and standard gateway in the fields that appear.

The IP address is the device’s desired address. The default address is 192.168.1.111.

Enter the sub-network mask that is used. In smaller networks this is usually

255.255.255.0.

The standard gateway is the interface to the Internet. This is normally the ADSL
router. Enter the IP address of your ADSL router in the "Standard gateway" field.

Note: An IP address must not be assigned twice within a network. Therefore

ensure that manually assigned IP addresses are not used. In this case
consult your network administrator.

Name server addresses (DNS)

In the "Preferred DNS server" field enter the IP address of the DNS server that is used.
This is usually also the IP address of your ADSL router. However, you can specify up
to two different DNS servers that can be reached by the device.

Note: The device is restarted automatically following a change. Existing voice

connections are terminated.

24

Network

STUN server, WAN interface standard gateway

These settings can be found only in Expert mode.

Setting the type of WAN interface

Here you set whether your DSL router works with a dynamic or static external WAN IP
address. You will find the correct setting in the settings or status page of your DSL
router.

If you do not find any clues here, perform this simple test: If the WAN IP address of
your DSL router changes each time you switch it on, the device works with
dynamically assigned WAN IP addresses.

The device’s default setting is configured to use dynamic WAN IP addresses.

STUN server / operation with dynamic WAN IP address

A STUN server is used to determine the external WAN IP address of the DSL router
while considering an existing firewall. The WAN IP address is required for
communicating with the SIP providers. The WAN IP address is displayed in the status

Operation

Operation

Configuring the terminals

Incoming calls

In order to accept incoming calls it is necessary to configure the telephone system or
ISDN telephone that is connected.

The procedure for programming is similar to setting up an ISDN multi-point
connection.

The tiptel 40 VoIP sends all recognized calls with the registered call number to the
connected device.

For this, all call numbers stored in the SIP accounts are registered in the telephone
system as "Exchange numbers". The calls are then distributed according to the
internal assignment in the telephone system as if it were an ISDN multi-point
connection.

If you are using ISDN telephones, enter the SIP account call numbers into the
telephone as "MSNs".

Note: Due to the large variety of terminals found on the market we cannot

provide any information on operation. In this case we refer you to the
operating instructions of the particular terminal.

Outgoing calls

To make outgoing calls with the tiptel 40 VoIP it is also necessary to configure the
device.

The assignment of the SIP account that is to be used depends on the outgoing call
number of the telephone system or ISDN telephone that was sent.

Set up your telephone system for outgoing calls so that the call number of the
desired SIP account is sent to the tiptel 40 VoIP.

Troubleshooting

Tips for error messages displayed during registration
phase

Registration with an SIP provider can fail for many reasons. Here you will find tips for
locating errors in certain situations.

Proxy not found

•

The VoIP adapter or DSL router is not connected to the Internet.

•

The entry for the standard gateway is missing or incorrect.

•

The entry for the name server (DNS) is missing or incorrect.

•

Your provider’s proxy is spelled incorrectly.

Registrar not found

•

The VoIP adapter or DSL router is not connected to the Internet.

•

The registration for the standard gateway is missing or incorrect.

•

The entry for the name server (DNS) is missing or incorrect.

•

Your provider’s registrar is spelled incorrectly.

Error during registration process

•

The VoIP adapter or DSL router is not connected to the Internet.

•

The registration for the standard gateway is missing or incorrect.

•

The entry for the name server (DNS) is missing or incorrect.

• The registrar/proxy/STUN server is spelled incorrectly.

•

If IP addresses have been entered for the registrar/proxy/STUN server, these
may be incorrect. The server may be down.

Registration was successful. Device may be unavailable for incoming
calls.

•

Provider’s SIP server does not answer the keep-alive signals within the
expected timeframe.

•

The setting for the SIP port on the VoIP adapter does not match the NAT
setting on your DSL router.

Notes on Internet browsers

Enter the VoIP adapter into your favorites in Microsoft Internet Explorer

If the VoIP adapter is added as a favorite in Microsoft Internet Explorer, additional
information for the picture elements is saved along with the current IP address. The

30

Troubleshooting

result may be that after resetting the device to factory settings, the initial screen is not
displayed. In this case, enter the device’s IP address directly in the Internet Explorer
address field.

Firmware update

If you perform a firmware update for the VoIP adapter, you should also delete your
browser’s cache. Otherwise, depending on how your browser is configured, sites
may be displayed incorrectly. See your browser’s online help for more on this topic.

Explanation of terms

ADSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. DSL connection with asymmetrical

bandwidth distribution for sending and receiving data.

DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP servers assign a free IP

address to connected computers on start-up.

DNS Domain Name Server. The DNS translates IP addresses into names.

Downstream Data flow from the Internet.

DSL DSL stands for "Digital Subscriber Line", often also called T-DSL or ADSL.

A DSL modem uses your existing telephone lines to transfer data at high
speed.

Firewall Mechanism to protect your own data from the Internet.

IP Internet Protocol (TCP/IP = Transmission on Control Protocol/Internet

Protocol) for Internet data communication.

IP address IP stands for "Internet Protocol". An IP address contains four numbers

separated by dots and is used to identify an individual, distinct host
computer in the Internet. Example: 192.34.45.8.

LAN Local Area Network. Local network between computers for exchanging data

or joint use of drives or printers.

MAC address It is saved firmly on the card and is distinct across the world. This is a

unique serial number of a device or network card.

MBit/s Megabits per second. Measuring unit for data transfer rate (bandwidth) e.g.

in networks.

Extension The extension is the physical connection to which the analogue or ISDN

terminals are connected. An extension can be assigned to several
subscribers.

Router A data transfer device that checks the target address for a message and

selects the best route. A router receives data packages from a network,
processes data connections and network layer protocols, and then sends
the data packages via appropriate data connections and network layer
protocols to another network.

Sub-network mask A sub-network mask or network mask is comprised of four figures and is

structured like an IP address. It may be provided by the ISP as part of the
TCP/IP statements. It enables the IP addresses that are restricted to a
particular network to be defined (in contrast to valid IP addresses that are
recognized throughout the Internet).

Switch Option for connecting several computers to a network. Hubs used to be

used as well.

TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol. Standard protocol for

transmitting data in the Internet Standard protocol for transmitting data in
the Internet

which controls whether the packages arrive at a particular target computer
and are correctly sorted during data transmission, UDP provides no error
correction.

Upstream Data flow towards the Internet.

Virtual server/port forwarding Option for using server applications behind a firewall through targeted

forwarding of the ports used to a firmly, defined IP address.
