The Voice Tab

IP Telephony System

Insert VIA received

. This lets you insert the received parameter into the VIA header of SIP responses if the

received-from IP and VIA sent-by IP values differ. Select

yes

or

no

from the drop-down menu. The default is

no

.

Insert VIA rport

. This feature lets you insert the rport parameter into the VIA header of SIP responses if the

received-from port and VIA sent-by port numbers differ. Select

yes

or

no

from the drop-down menu. The default

is

no

.

Substitute VIA Addr

. This feature lets you use NAT-mapped IP:port values in the VIA header. Select

yes

or

no

from the drop-down menu. The default is

no

.

Send Resp To Src Port

. This feature lets you send responses to the request source port instead of the VIA sent-

by port. Select

no

.

STUN Enable

. This feature lets you use STUN to discover NAT mapping. Select

yes

or

no

from the drop-down

menu. The default is

no

.

STUN Test Enable

. If the STUN Enable feature is enabled and a valid STUN server is available, then the System

can perform a NAT type discovery operation when it powers on. It will contact the configured STUN server, and

the result of the discovery will be reported in a Warning header in all subsequent REGISTER requests. If the

System detects symmetric NAT or a symmetric firewall, NAT mapping will be disabled.

The STUN Test Enable feature lets you use the STUN test. Select

yes

or

no

from the drop-down menu. The default

is

no

.

STUN Server

messages. If 0.0.0.0 is specified, then no IP address substitution will be performed.

EXT RTP Port Min

. This is the external port mapping number of the RTP Port Min. number. If this value is not

zero, then the RTP port number in all outgoing SIP messages will be substituted for the corresponding port value

in the external RTP port range.

15

.
