service provider. Most service providers expect to have the 
requested number or ID [dialed number] in this field, but some 
require the registered account information [address of record]. 
Typically this is set to [dialed number] 
* These settings are specific to the ITSP. For instructions on configuring them for Allworx 
partner ITSPs, download the ITSP Application Notes from

VoIP Settings* 
Force Remote Phone audio 
through server 
A NAT traversal aid for remote phones that are calling other 
internet devices (ITSPs, other remote phones). This setting 
only applies to: 
•  WAN-to-WAN calls, 
•  Remote phones that are behind a NAT/Firewall, and 
•  Remote phones that use RFC 3581 "Symmetric Response 
Routing (rport)" for NAT traversal. 
Note: your ITSP may require enabling this feature. 
When enabled: 
•  the server will proxy the RTP packets for the end-points in 
the call, 
•  twice the bandwidth is used per call. 
When disabled: 
•  the server is not involved in the RTP of the call, 
•  no bandwidth is used in the WAN-to-WAN calls, and 
•  remote phones need to be port-forwarded through any 
NAT/Firewalls to use internet VoIP services 
RTP DTMF Payload  Used in the SIP INVITE messages when calls are placed. The 
typical value is 96. Some ITSPs require other values (e.g. 
101). An incorrect setting of this parameter will result in 
outbound calls not being able to navigate external Auto 
Attendants. If SIP trunks from two different ITSPs are on the 
same system and the ITSPs require different values, then the 
value should be set per the ITSP requirements for the SIP 
trunk used most for outbound calls. The other SIP trunk will 
experience the Auto Attendant problem. Also, it may not be 
possible to transfer calls between the trunks 
*In addition to the settings on the SIP Proxy page, there are settings on the VoIP server page 
(Servers > VoIP) that must be checked.  
Many parameters associated with SIP Gateways are the same as their counterpart under SIP 
proxies. The 6x12 servers do not support SIP Gateways. 
Gateway uses SIP 
Registration 
If the gateway supports registration, choose this option. Assign 
an arbitrary Login ID and Password for the gateway to use to 
register with Allworx. This is the desired configuration to use 
especially if the gateway uses DHCP to obtain its IP address 
so that the Allworx always knows how to contact the gateway 
for outbound calls 
Gateway uses Static IP 
Address 
Used when the gateway does not support registration or when 
you do not wish to authenticate the gateway. Contacting the
