Transport | TCP or | VOIP administrator must choose between UDP and TCP transmission protocols. |
Protocol | UDP | UDP is a high‐speed, low‐overhead connectionless protocol where data is |
| transmitted without acknowledgment, guaranteed delivery, or guaranteed | |
|
| |
|
| packet sequence integrity. TCP is slower connection‐oriented protocol with |
|
| greater overhead, but having acknowledgment and guarantees delivery and |
|
| packet sequence integrity. |

SIP Port | 5060 or other | The SIP Port Number is a UDP logical port number. The VOIP “listens” for SIP |

| SPP Fields | The |
|
|
|
Use Registrar | Y/N | Select this checkbox to use registrar when VOIP system is operating in the |
|
| |
|
| “Registrar/Client” SPP mode. In this mode, one VOIP (the registrar, as set in |
|
| Phonebook Configuration window) has a static IP address and all other VOIPs |
|
| (clients) point to the registrar’s IP address as functionally their own. However, if |
|
| your VOIP system overall is operating in “Registrar/Client” mode but you want |
|
| to make an exception and use Direct mode for the destination pattern of this |
|
| particular Add/Edit Phonebook entry, leave this checkbox unselected. Also do |
|
| not select this if your overall VOIP system is operating in the Direct SPP mode – |
|
| in this mode all VOIPs are peers with unique static IP addresses. |
|
|
|
Port Number | numeric | When operating in “Registrar/Client” mode, this is the port by which the |
|
| gateway receives all SPP data and control messages from the registrar gateway. |
|
| (This ability to receive all data and messages via one port allows the VOIP to |
|
| operate behind a firewall with only one port open.) |
|
| When operating in “Direct” mode, this is the Port by which peer VOIPs receive |
|
| data and messages. |
|
|
|
Alternate | numeric | Phone number associated with alternate IP routing. |
