Network Traversal Strategy

Speak to your VoIP service provider about the strategy to use. Make
sure that you change the STUN Server field.

•Application Managed: STUN On and DNS SRV On.

Bria will use the specified STUN server to discover the public address
of your device. It will present your public address for SIP signaling.
When negotiating media routing, it will present both your public and
private addresses or just your public address depending on the ICE
settings under Account Advanced.

•Server Managed: STUN Off and DNS SRV On.
Bria will present your device’s private address for SIP signaling and
when negotiating media routing. Choose this option if your VoIP
service provider advises you that it has implemented a network-hosted
NAT traversal (or far-end NAT traversal) technology such as a session
border controller (SBC), media proxy or RTP relay.

•Custom Configuration: Set the settings as desired.

Call Statistics

To show detailed information about the current/last call. For example, the number of
packets lost.

For an ongoing call, you can refresh the statistics information by either tapping the
Refresh button or enabling Auto Refresh on the Call Statistics screen. When Auto
Refresh is enabled, the information will get updated every second.

Description

STUN Wi-Fi

• On (checked): Bria will use a STUN server to discover your public IP address.

• Off: Bria does not discover your public IP address. Therefore, only the private IP

address will be used. Typically in this case, Global IP should be turned off.

STUN Mobile

This setting has the same function as STUN, but applies only when you are connected
over mobile network.

DNS SRV

• On (checked): Bria will use DNS SRV to discover the network addresses for your

VoIP service provider's VoIP-related services such as a STUN server, if any.

• Off: Bria will not use DNS SRV for discovery. Only turn this setting off if your

system administrator advises you to do so.

STUN Server

Used only if STUN is on. The default is stun.counterpath.com but we recommend that
you change this to an address provided by your VoIP service provider. CounterPath
cannot guarantee the availability of their STUN server.
