MAKING CALLS USING IP ADDRESSES
Direct IP calling allows two phones to talk to each other in an ad hoc fashion without a SIP proxy. VoIP
calls can be made between two phones if:
• both phones have public IP addresses, or
• both phones are on a same LAN/VPN using private or public IP addresses, or
• both phones can be connected through a router using public or private IP addresses (with
necessary port forwarding or DMZ)
To make a direct IP call, please follow these steps:
1. Press MENU button to bring up MAIN MENU.
2. Select “Direct IP Call” using the arrow-keys.
3. Press OK to select.
4. Input the 12-digit target IP address. (Please see example below).
5. Press OK key to initiate call.
To make a quick IP call, please see next section.
For example: If the target IP address is 192.168.1.60 and the port is 5062 (e.g. 192.168.1.60:5062),
input the following: 192*168*1*60#5062 - The start “ * ” key represent the dot“.” ; The hash “#” key
represent colon “:”. Press OK to dial out.
QUICK IP CALL MODE
The GXP2020 also supports Quick IP call mode. This enables the phone to make direct IP-calls, using
only the last few digits (last octet) of the target phone’s IP-number.
This is possible only if both phones are in under the same LAN/VPN. This simulates a PBX function using
the CMSA/CD without a SIP server. Controlled static IP usage is recommended.
Setting up the phone to make Quick IP calls
To enable Quick IP calls, the phone has to be setup first. This is done through the web-setup function. In
the “Advanced Settings” page, set the "Use Quick IP-call mode to YES. When #xxx is dialed, where x is
0-9 and xxx <=255, a direct IP call to aaa.bbb.ccc.XXX is completed. “aaa.bbb.ccc” is from the local IP
address regardless of subnet mask. The numbers #xx or #x are also valid. The leading 0 is not required
(but OK).
For example:
192.168.0.2 calling 192.168.0.3 -- dial #3 follow by SEND or #
192.168.0.2 calling 192.168.0.23 -- dial #23 follow by SEND or #
192.168.0.2 calling 192.168.0.123 -- dial #123 follow by SEND or #
192.168.0.2: dial #3 and #03 and #003 results in the same call -- call 192.168.0.3
NOTE: If you have a SIP Server configured, a Direct IP-IP still works. If you are using STUN, the Direct
IP-IP call will also use STUN. Configure the “Use Random Port” to “NO” when completing Direct IP calls.
