This parameter defines whether the BudgeTone phone NAT traversal mechanism will be activated or not. If activated (by choosing “Yes”) and a STUN server is also specified, then the BudgeTone phone will behave according to the STUN client specification. Under this mode, the embedded STUN client inside the BudgeTone phone will attempt to detect if and what type of firewall/NAT it is behind through communication with the specified STUN server. If the detected NAT is a Full Cone, Restricted Cone, or a Port-Restricted Cone, the BudgeTone phone will attempt to use its mapped public IP address and port in all the SIP and SDP messages it sends out.

If this field is set to “Yes” with no specified STUN server, then the BudgeTone phone will periodically (every 10 seconds or so) send a blank UDP packet (with no payload data) to the SIP server to keep the “hole” on the NAT open.

Default is 20 seconds. This field specify the time period to send out packets to keep router’s NAT mapping port open

NAT IP address used in SIP/SDP message. Default is blank.

This is the IP address of the configured tftp server. If it is non-zero or not blank, the BudgeTone phone will attempt to retrieve new configuration file or new code image from the specified tftp server at boot time. It will make up to 3 attempts before timeout and then it will start the boot process using the existing code image in the Flash memory. If a tftp server is configured and a new code image is retrieved, the new downloaded image will be verified and then saved into the Flash memory.

If the ID number put here, when “MESSAGE” button pressed, the phone will automatically send out a SIP request. For example, if 8005 put here, when “MESSAGE” button pressed, a SIP message “sip:8005@my_provider.com” will be sent to SIP server.

Default is NO. When set to Yes a SUBSCRIBE for Message Waiting Indication will be sent periodically.

Default is NO. When set to Yes, any incoming call will be automatically answered via speakerphone after a Beep. This is somewhat similar to Intercom but still different.
