Voice over IP (VoIP) SIP Telephony You will also usually need the services of a SIP provider. A SIP provider operates a special server (the SIP Registrar) to handle connections. The SIP provider also operates a gateway to the ordinary telephone network which users pay to use and which enables the SIP provider to provide calls to the telephone network. A SIP connection can also accept incoming calls from the telephone network. The same voice transmission techniques as those explained in Fundamentals starting on page 107 are used for SIP telephony. SIP telephony has the following distinctive features: ■ Subscribers are identified through an e-mail-like "SIP ID" such as [email protected] or [email protected]. ■ SIP transmits dialling numbers always in a single data package (block dialling). Dialling can therefore be concluded with the hash key #on the system terminal, or the end of the number will be indicated by a time-out. The value for this time-out can be defined for each SIP provider separately. ■ You must log on ("Login") to the SIP registrar before you can use SIP telephony. Use the OpenCom 100 to manage important information for the registration (user name and password) of one or more SIP accounts. It is possible to make several calls simultaneously using a single SIP account. ■ A SIP connection causes constant Internet data traffic, so do not use SIP with Internet access which is paid for according to the time used. ■ RTP call data is also exchanged directly between terminals for SIP telephony, so different codecs can be used for sending and for receiving. It is also possible to change codecs dynamically during a call. You should use every codec available in the VoIP profile at least once, because this will enable you to establish connections with as many SIP subscribers as possible. ■ Fairly large packet lengths are quite normal on the Internet. They compensate for the longer packet propagation delay. ■ A bidirectional RTP data stream with a dynamically-assigned UDP port number is used to set up calls between subscribers. For this reason, incoming RTP calls often fail to get past the Firewall or NAT configuration of the Internet gateway product used. If you do not use the OpenCom 100 as the Internet gateway, the product should be compatible with SIP telephony. These products provide a "Full Cone NAT" setting for this application. 116

You will also usually need the services of a SIP provider. A SIP provider operates a
special server (the SIP Registrar) to handle connections. The SIP provider also
operates a gateway to the ordinary telephone network which users pay to use and
which enables the SIP provider to provide calls to the telephone network. A SIP
connection can also accept incoming calls from the telephone network.
The same voice transmission techniques as those explained in

starting on page 107 are used for SIP telephony. SIP telephony has the following
distinctive features:
Subscribers are identified through an e-mail-like “SIP ID” such as
SIP transmits dialling numbers always in a single data package (block dialling).
Dialling can therefore be concluded with the hash key
#
on the system ter-
minal, or the end of the number will be indicated by a time-out. The value for
this time-out can be defined for each SIP provider separately.
You must log on (“Login”) to the SIP registrar before you can use SIP telephony.
Use the OpenCom 100 to manage important information for the registration
(user name and password) of one or more SIP accounts. It is possible to make
several calls simultaneously using a single SIP account.
A SIP connection causes constant Internet data traffic, so do not use SIP with
Internet access which is paid for according to the time used.
RTP call data is also exchanged directly between terminals for SIP telephony, so
different codecs can be used for sending and for receiving. It is also possible to
change codecs dynamically during a call. You should use every codec available
in the VoIP profile at least once, because this will enable you to establish con-
nections with as many SIP subscribers as possible.
Fairly large packet lengths are quite normal on the Internet. They compensate
for the longer packet propagation delay.
A bidirectional RTP data stream with a dynamically-assigned UDP port number
is used to set up calls between subscribers. For this reason, incoming RTP calls
often fail to get past the Firewall or NAT configuration of the Internet gateway
product used. If you do not use the OpenCom 100 as the Internet gateway, the
