Description

Firewall traversal mode

Choose the setting recommended by your VoIP service provider:
• Auto detect using ICE: Automatically determine the contact address for signaling

traffic.

Advertise the local IP, public IP (discovered via STUN, if available) and media relay
IP and use these to automatically determine the best route for media traffic during
calls.

• Discover public IP address: Advertise the public IP address (discovered via STUN) for

the contact address for signaling traffic, and for the connection address for media
traffic.

• Use media relay (TURN): Advertise the public IP address (discovered via STUN) for

the contact address for signaling traffic.

Advertise the address of a media relay server (discovered via TURN) for the

connection address for media traffic.

• None: Advertise the local IP address only for both signaling and media traffic.

Server address

• Empty: Discover the address of the firewall traversal server (the STUN or TURN

server), if available, using DNS SRV.

• Specified: Use the firewall traversal server specified as either an IP address or a fully

qualified hostname.

Range of ports

You can set a range of ports used for SIP signaling, RTP audio and video. The appropriate
setting depends on your computer setup:
• Checked: If your computer is behind a restrictive firewall that only allows specific

port ranges to be used. Enter the range of ports to use for your SIP account. (You must
also open those ports on your firewall; refer to applicable firewall documentation for
information.)

• Unchecked: If your computer is not behind a restrictive firewall.
