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.

SPP Fields

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.
