1.1. Overview of the Opera 4 IP
The Opera 4 IP is a next generation IP voice switch for SOHO and small business applications.
The full IP internal architecture of the system allows seamless connection to VoIP networks
using IP system phones and traditional analogue phones. The Opera 4 IP, depending on its
configuration may also connect to either the legacy ISDN or PSTN public networks making it the
ideal migration platform to the next generation network for the home-based business or small
business. It connects four analogue telephones and up to 16 IP system phones to the public
VoIP or PSTN networks.
Users make or receive calls via a SIP server in the public network, or via the PSTN/ISDN
network using a simple analogue phone or an Operafone IP Executive phone or an Operafone
IP Professional phone.
The Operafone IP Executive is an advanced multi function system phone with 16 programmable
keys, 6 fixed keys, loudspeaker and a blue backlit 4-line display.
The Operafone IP Professional is an advanced multi function system phone with 6 fixed keys,
loudspeaker and a blue backlit 4-line display.
Up to sixteen of these phones may be connected locally to the Opera 4 IP system or remotely
over broadband Internet. Remote IP phones have full system functionality. The system phones
have a two-port Ethernet hub, which allows a single cable to the desktop for both the phone and
the PC.
The Opera 4 IP has a full range of pbx features including voicemail, automated attendant, least
cost routing, speed dials, address books and call lists. Features such as advanced Multi-Layer
Auto-Attendant, networking of multiple systems on different sites require the installation of a
license. Licenses can also be installed to expand the number of users on the system, the
number of trunks or the number of voicemail boxes or to network multiple systems.

Router? Browse to the Router’s Programming web page
and program port forwarding, so that the following
packets are forwarded to the IP address of the
system.
TCP packets arriving on port (5075)
UDP packets arriving on ports (50000-50031)
TCP packets arriving on port (7000) forwarded to
port (80).
Manually Forward VoIP ports on the Router to the
internal IP address of the system
Just take the IP system phone home and connect it to you home
LAN. The IP system phone will request an IP address from the
DHCP server in your router. (Note: If DHCP is not enabled in the
router, you will need to manually set the local IP address in the
Phone, see phone installation manual for this). Once it has a Local
IP address, it will then connect back to the system over the
Internet.
STEP 3. If you wish to use your IP system phone at a remote
location
The IP system phones request an IP address f
rom the DHCP
server in the router. (Note: If DHCP is not enabled in the
router, you need to manually set the local IP address in each
Phone; see phone installation guide for this).
The phone then Auto-discovers the advantage system and
is assigned an IP registration name and an IP registration
PIN along with the WAN (public) IP address of the router.
That’s it. Your IP system phone should now be
connected to the Opera system and be able to make and
receive calls

2.7. Program the IP address of the system into the
range of the LAN
The default IP address of the Opera 4 IP is 192.168.1.250.
The IP address of the system must be in the range of the LAN to which it’s connected. The
system does not have either a DHCP client nor a DHCP server, to minimise potential for
conflicts.
If for example the LAN range is VVV.XXX.YYY.ZZZ, the first three elements of the IP address of
the system must be altered to VVV.XXX.YYY and the last element must be taken from the
range 1-255, but excluding those numbers at which devices are already connected.
The IP address of the Opera20 IP can be changed in a number of ways.
2.5.1. Change the IP address of the system using an analogue phone
Connect an analogue phone to one of the analogue ports of the Opera 4 IP.

3.4. Manual Programming of the SIP trunk lines
The VoIP trunk lines of the Opera 4 IP may be configured automatically by the network
operator. However, should you need to programme the trunks manually, you can do so by
clicking the link ‘SIP Accounts’ under the heading SIP Trunks. The following page will be
displayed:
This page is used to display the status and parameters of the SIP external lines, which connect
to the Voice over IP public network. Each telephone number corresponds to an account on the
public VoIP network. Each account has a user name and password. These details are
provided by the operator of the network.
The parameters of the SIP accounts are displayed here. They can be configured by pressing
the ‘edit’ button. The following parameters are displayed.
NAME: The Opera 4 IP may allocate a name to each SIP account.
USERNAME: This is the username defined by the network operator for this SIP account.
PROVIDER: This is location of the SIP server as defined by the network operator. Typically it is
in the format sip.operator.com.
TRUNK ACCESS: This is the line access code for this trunk. The user on an outgoing call may
select this particular trunk by dialling the line access code prior to dialling the external number.
STATUS: Indicates whether the SIP account is operational or not.

Opera 4 IP System Manual
Page 19
Click on the ‘Edit’ button on the first line of this table. The following page will be displayed:
This page is used to configure the SIP external lines that connect to the Voice over IP Operator
network. Each SIP trunk requires an account on the Operator network. The network operator
provides the details of this account.
The parameters of the SIP trunk are altered or edited on this page. The following parameters
may be configured:
Basic Settings
NAME: The Opera 4 IP system can allocate a name to each SIP trunk line.
TRUNK ACCESS: This is the line access code for the trunk. The user, on an outgoing call, may
select a particular trunk by dialling the trunk access code prior to dialling the external number.
ENABLED: The line may be enabled or disabled here.
STATUS: Indicates whether the SIP trunk is operational or not.
Provider Settings

Opera 4 IP System Manual
Page 20
SIP SERVER: The location of the SIP server in the Operator’s network. The Operator provides
this information. Typically it will be in the format sip.operator.com.
SIP SERVER PORT: This is the PORT number for the SIP protocol. By default it is 5060. If the
operator uses a different port number it should be entered here.
REGISTRATION REQUIRED: Is registration required by the network operator or not?
FORCED PROXY IP: The actual SIP server IP address must be entered here if it's different
from the IP address associated with the SIP server URL. The SIP operator may insist that all
SIP messages are relayed to the forced proxy IP address entered here; the SIP server URL is
included in the SIP messages from the system.
REGINTERVAL: The SIP protocol allows for periodic registration messages to be sent to the
SIP server in order to keep it updated it on the status of the SIP client. The parameter
RegInterval allows the system administrator to program the length of the registration interval in
seconds.
STUN SERVER: Some operators require the use of a STUN server (Simple Traversal of UDP
through NATS). If the operator provides the address of a STUN server with the account details,
it should be entered here.
Subscriber Settings
USERNAME: This is the username provided by the network operator for the SIP account.
PASSWORD: This is the password provided by the network operator for the SIP account.
AuthID: Authorisation ID, if required, is provided by the network operator.
EXTERNAL NUMBER: This is the public telephone number associated with this SIP account. It
is provided by the network operator and should be entered here. It is then added automatically
to the list of external telephone numbers of the system.
Audio Settings
Codec priority 1,2,3: These fields are used to set the preferred audio codecs.
DTMF Method: This parameter allows the system administrator to select the method of
transmitting DTMF digits across the VoIP network.
Dialling Settings
DIAL PLAN: During dialling on outgoing calls, the digits are stored until the complete number
has been dialled and then the complete number is transmitted en bloc to the VoIP network. A
period of three seconds without dialling is interpreted by the system as the end of dialling. This
means that the system must delay transmitting the number for a period of 3 seconds after the
end of the last digit. The Dial Plan allows the system administrator to define number types that
can be dialled immediately without waiting for the 3-second period to elapse.
For example, the entry
