Bria 2.0 for Windows Account Properties – Voicemail Complete these settings only if your service provider offers voicemail. These settings let you set up Bria to forward calls in several situations. Your service provider may also provide the ability to set up for voicemail outside of Bria, for example, by phoning a softphone address and following the voice prompts, or by accessing a website. Check with your service provider to determine if another setup mechanism is available.
CounterPath Solutions, Inc. Table 3: Account Properties – Voicemail Field Number for sending calls to voicemail Description Complete only if your VoIP service includes voicemail. This is the number that incoming calls will be forwarded to if they are unanswered after the specified interval (below). If you leave this field empty, then this icon will not be displayed. However, leaving this field does not mean that voicemail does not work.
Bria 2.0 for Windows Account Properties – Topology Table 4: Account Properties – Topology Field Description Firewall Traversal IP Address This setting controls how your IP address is presented. • Discover global address: Let Bria determine your public IP address. This is the recommended setting unless your VoIP service provider advises otherwise. • Use local IP address: use the IP address of the Bria computer. STUN Server The recommended setting is Discover global address.
CounterPath Solutions, Inc. Table 4: Account Properties – Topology Field Description XTunnels Use XTunnels Server address Use SIP user login and password The appropriate setting for XTunnels depends on whether your VoIP service provider has an XTunnels server. • Automatic: Use XTunnels when Bria detects a firewall that prohibits communications. This is the recommended setting if your service provider has an XTunnels server. • Always: Always use XTunnels. • Never: Do not use XTunnels.
Bria 2.0 for Windows Account Properties – Presence Presence allows other softphone users to see your online availability, and also allows you to see the online availability of others.

Poll Time Enter the value specified by your VoIP service provider. The factory setting is 300.
CounterPath Solutions, Inc. domain.com is the default, all the contacts with the address “@domain.com” are watchable. The contacts at other domains are not watchable; their availability icons appear as gray.

Contact your VoIP service provider for details.
Bria 2.0 for Windows Account Properties – Storage These settings let you set up a remote storage system for your contact list via WebDAV or XCAP. (The contact list is always stored locally, even when you set up for remote storage.) The tab only appears for the current default account: see below for an explanation. How Storage Works for a Single Account If you have only one account, all three storage methods are supported and easily managed.
CounterPath Solutions, Inc. Table 6: Account Properties – Storage Field Root URL WebDAV poll time Description URL of an appropriate root folder on the remote server. Not used for “Local”. The factory setting is https://webdav.$domain$/webdav/ $username$/ Enabled only for WebDAV. The time that elapses between polling for new contact data from the remote server.

Account Properties – Security Table 7: Account Properties – Security Field Signaling Transport Media Encryption Description Contact your VoIP service provider to identify the types of transport that are supported. Then choose a supported transport: • Automatic: Bria sets up the transport based on the capabilities of the network and the Bria computer. Choose this option if you do not care which transport is used. • Encrypted: Currently, this option means TLS will be used.
CounterPath Solutions, Inc. Setting up the root certificate on your computer ensures that the connection to the proxy is TLS secure (the first hop). Any proxy in the chain (between you and the caller) that does not support TLS may cause an insecure link in the chain. Therefore, if the other party is outside your domain, you cannot be completely sure that the call is secured at the signaling level, which means that you cannot be sure that it is secured at the media level.
Account Properties – Advanced s Table 9: Account Properties – Advanced Field Reregister every Description The time interval between Bria’s attempts to reregister in order to refresh the account registration with the VoIP service provider for this account.

Bria 2.0 for Windows B Dialing Plan When a call attempt is made, the call input (what you type, select or drag onto the Call display) is processed to select the account to use and to modify the input if that is required to ensure that the call gets placed successfully. This ability to select an account and modify the input relies on the existence of a “dialing plan” for each account.
CounterPath Solutions, Inc. B.1 Dialing Plan Syntax In Bria, the dialing plan establishes the expected patterns of characters for a telephone number or softphone address, and allows for modification (transformation) of input based on the match to a pattern. The dialing plan has the following syntax: pattern[|pattern];match=1;=;[match=2; =;] Where: • • • Items in [ ] are optional. Pattern: the pattern that will be matched. One or more patterns.
Element Origin Description \a Regular expression rules Wildcard for any single alphanumeric character. [digit-digit] Regular expression rules A digit within the specified range. [charactercharacter] Regular expression rules A character within the specified range. [digit1, digit2, digit3] Regular expression rules One of the characters in the collection. . Digit map rules Repeat the last element 0 or more times. For example, xxxx.
CounterPath Solutions, Inc. B.2 How the Input Is Processed Comparing Input to the Dialing Plan Patterns The input is compared to each dialing plan in turn, starting with the first listed account. The process is slightly different depending on how the call is placed: • If the input was dragged or selected, then the entire input is compared to each dialing plan. If a complete match is found, then that account is selected and the associated transformation is performed.
B.3 Examples Example 1 \a\a.T|xxxxxxx.T;match=2;pre="9" This simple example shows how to differentiate between a PSTN number and a softphone address, and how to add a “9” dialing prefix only to the PSTN number. Example 2 3xxT|1xxxxxxxxxx|[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|+x.T;match=2;pre="9"; match=3;pre="91";match=4;prestrip=1;pre="9011" 3xxT The first pattern is any three-digit number beginning with 3. No transformation. The assumption is that this is an internal extension.
CounterPath Solutions, Inc. • Handling of the account prefix (#1), if you are upgrading from Bria 1.1 and are accustomed to entering the account number. Use of # to identify the account is now deprecated. The dialing plan should be capable of determining the account to use for this number. However, since users may still be in the habit of entering the account prefix, you may want to include this pattern to handle such a scenario.
C Contact List Headings Following is a list of all the headings that are used in the Bria contact list. This list can be useful when formatting a contact list in order to import it into Bria.
