5.Option-2Activate STUN

Setting up the NAT router is impossible in many cases, and new equipment may be too expensive. For these environments, "Simple Traversal of UDP Through NATs" (STUN) has come to rescue. To enable STUN, you must acquire the IP of your served STUN server and diagnose your NAT to see if STUN is viable.

(1) To determine whether you are currently NATed or behind a firewall

zGo to Main Menu=>6.Network/4.NAT & firewall/1.STUNand configure your STUN server in “1.STUN server”, such as “A-voize.com” (IPF-3000will try to locate the STUN server of “A-voize.com” domain via DNS SRV query (_stun._udp.A-voize.com) or “STUN.A-voize.com” (explicitly specify the STUN server). Press HOLDto confirm.

zGo to Main Menu=>6.Network/4.NAT & firewall/1.STUN/ 2. Diagnose NATto detect your NAT type. If the diagnosis is one of the following, you could consider enable STUN as a way to traverse NAT; otherwise you should adopt option-1.

1.Public internet (Neither NAT nor Firewall is involved)

2.Symmetric UDP Firewall

3.Full cone NAT

4.Restricted cone NAT

5.Port restricted cone NAT

(2)Activate STUN Mode

zMain Menu=>6.Network/4.NAT & firewall/2.UDP traversal

zChoose ”3.Enable STUN” and press HOLDto confirm.

Note: the STUN server configured into 6.Network/4.NAT & firewall/1.STUN/1.STUN servermust be functional and reachable for STUN to work.

VIII. Specify CODEC

The CODECs available on the phone includes G.711A (64kbps), G.711µ (64kbps), G.729A/G.729AB (8 kbps), G.723.1/G.723.1A (both 5.3 and 6.4 kbps). The default preference is to prioritize them based on their compressed voice quality: the higher quality it is, the higher priority it will be. That is, the default CODEC preference is G.711A, G.711µ, G.729A then G.723.1A (in that order).

High quality comes in a price: it consumes more precious bandwidth. Take G.711µ for example, it takes as much as 64 kbps per call, as opposed to 5.3 kbps if G.723.1A is employed. Thus, if you have limited bandwidth for VoIP, you should consider prioritize those CODECs come with lower bit-rates such that it will use the most preferred CODEC on making/taking calls.
