Area: Network
If your phone is connected to a router with
NAT (Network Address Translation) and/or
Firewall, you must make a few settings in
this area so that your phone can be
reached from the Internet (i.e. can be
addressed).
Through NAT, the IP addresses of subscrib-
ers in the LAN are concealed behind the
public IP address of the router.
For incoming calls
If port forwarding is activated or a DMZ is
set up for the phone on the router, no spe-
cial settings are required for incoming
calls.
If this is not the case, an entry in the NAT
routing table (in the router) is necessary in
order for the phone to be reached. This
entry is created when the phone is regis-
tered with the SIP service. In the interest
of security, this entry is automatically
deleted at certain intervals (session time-
out). The phone must therefore confirm
its registration at certain intervals (see
NAT refresh time, page 49), so that the
entry stays in the routing table.
For outgoing calls
The phone needs its public address in
order to receive caller voice data.
There are two possibilities:
u The phone requests the public address
from a STUN server on the Internet
(Simple Transversal of UDP over NAT).
STUN can only be used with asymmet-
ric NATs and non-blocking firewalls.
u The phone does not direct the connec-
tion request to the SIP proxy but to an
outbound proxy on the Internet that
supplies the data packets along with
the public address.
The STUN server and outbound proxy are
used alternately to work around the NAT/
firewall in the router.
STUN enabled
Click on Yes if you want your phone to
use STUN as soon as it is used on a
router with asymmetric NAT.
STUN server
Enter the (fully-qualified) DNS name or
the IP address of the STUN server on
the Internet.
If you selected the option Yes in the
STUN enabled field, you must enter a
STUN server here.
STUN port
Enter the number of the communica-
tion port on the STUN server. The
default port is 3478.
NAT refresh time
Specify the intervals at which you want
the phone to update its entry in the
NAT routing table. Specify an interval in
seconds that is a little smaller than the
NAT session timeout.
As a rule you should not change the
preconfigured value for the NAT refresh
time.
Outbound proxy mode
Specify when the outbound proxy
should be used.
Always
All signalling and voice data sent by the
phone is sent to the outbound proxy.
Auto
Data sent by the phone is only sent to
the outbound proxy when the phone is
connected to a router with symmetric
NAT or blocking firewall. If the phone is
phone is behind an asymmetric NAT,
the STUN server is used.
If you have set STUN enabled = No or
have not entered a STUN server, the
outbound proxy is always used.
Never
The outbound proxy is not used.
If you do not make an entry in the Out-
bound proxy field, the phone behaves
independently of the selected mode,
just as with Never.
