VoIP Configuration
SIP Configuration
Display Name SIP service subscriber’s name which will be used for Caller ID
display.
User ID User account information, provided by VoIP service provider (ITSP), usually has the form of digit similar to phone number
or actually a phone number.
Authentication User ID ID used for authentication, usually same as SIP user ID, but
could be different and decided by ITSP.
Password Account information, password for ATA to register to (SIP) servers of ITSP.

SIP Settings
SIP Proxy Domain Domain name provided by VoIP service provider.
DTMF Mode This parameter sets the payload type for DTMF using RFC2833
Registration Timeout This option enables SIP sessions to be periodically “refreshed” via a re-INVITE request. Once the session interval expires, if
there is no refresh via a re-INVITE message, the session will
be terminated.
NAT It should be check if the device is behind a NAT router.
Fax Configuration T.38 is the preferred method because it is more reliable and
works well in most network conditions. If the service provider
does not support T.38, pass-through mode may be used.
Codec Configuration
CRA-210 supports different codec types like G.711 A/U law,
G.726, G.729AB &G.723. A user can configure Codec’s in a
preference list that will be included with the same preference
order in SDP message.
Volume Configuration

4.2.4.2. Configuring the PSTN (FXO) Gateway
This method allows you to enable a user to make IP-to-PSTN voice calls without
using a VoIP service provider or their gateways. The architecture is based on a
'personal' IP-to-PSTN gateway (PIPG) deployed at the residence or business of a
user, where both PSTN and Internet service are assumed to exist. This method
enables the bridging of a voice call between an Internet endpoint, such as a soft
phone, and a user's PSTN line.
Here Line can be configured with a regular VoIP account and can be used in the
same way as the Phone 1 of any CRA Model. This VoIP account can be configured
to support PSTN gateway calls exclusively.
4.2.4.2.1. Connecting to PSTN to VoIP Services
Connecting PSTN-To-VoIP calling function is referred to as a VoIP gateway.
PSTN callers can be authenticated by one of the following methods to connect to
VoIP Gateway which is shown in the below figure.
Figure: Connecting to PSTN to VoIP Services
