Siptronic ST-530
Overview
Features
Connecting
To connect your ST-530 please look below:
If you look its sides, you can see an outlet for the handset cable and several other ones.
There are two RJ45 outlets – one for the internet cable and one to connect your phone to your PC or a LAN switch in case you have more than one PCs.
Plug in your Internet cable in the WAN port
Plug the power cable and plug the power adapter in the wall-plug.
Plug the ethernet cable you found in the package into your PC and the free end is for the LAN port.
To access the Web Configuration pages you need a PC in the same network.
Setup
You need a SIP or IAX account.
Please read this short tutorial to learn how to create one.
Setting up an Asterisk account
NOTE: If you want to setup an IAX2 account, you have to edit the /etc/asterisk/iax.conf file using the same syntax
Save the changes and continue to register an extension for the user "user" ;).
In my file I added :
NOTE: Do not forget to save the changes you just made in extensions.conf .
NOTE: If you want to set up an extension for an IAX2 account, please keep in mind that the Dial extension should look like this:
For example: exten => 731,1,Dial(IAX2/user@user)
As your new user "user" is already configured, please start your Asterisk server:
# asterisk
enter the Asterisk CLI console by typing:
# asterisk -r
and reload the SIP configuration for the changes to take effect by using:
# sip reload
then reload the extensions:
# extensions reload
now you can check what you've done by:
# sip show peers
To execute shell command without exiting Asterisk, type "!", then press the [ENTER] key.
NOTE: ALL characters after ";" are interpreted by Asterisk as a comment !
ADVICE: read our tutorial about "Configuring IP Phones for use with Asterisk" for information how to make the configurations in the Asterisk's configuration files.
Web Configuration Interface
HINT: if it is 192.168.0.11 enter it as http://192.168.0.11
Use the admin account and password and press “Logon”
Then you will see nothing different but a fat line saying “IP Phone”
There is a list on the left.
This list is the index of the options screens where you can make changes, modify options & etc.
Some of these could not be accessed via the user account.
Testing
Testing by a softphone
Congratulations ! You can start using it now !.
Setting an additional account.
NOTE: If you want to setup an IAX2 account, you have to edit the /etc/asterisk/iax.conf file using the same syntax
Now save this file and open /etc/extensions.conf to add a new extension for that user.
Setting additional extensions.
NOTE: If you want to set up an extension for an IAX2 account, please keep in mind that the Dial extension should look like this:
For example: exten => 732,1,Dial(IAX2/user2@user2)
NOTE: Please do not forget to enter your Asterisk server' CLI console and reload the SIP, IAX and the EXTENSIONS!
Zoiper Setup
To use your new Zoiper softphone you need an account and you have to set it up.
This you can do following my steps:
Adding SIP account
When you do this you can set an outbound proxy, if necessary, or a voicemail extension, a STUN server, if needed. You can select if Zoiper should register this account upon application’s start-up.
When you are ready click on the "Apply" button.
Registering SIP accounts
As you have already set up your hardphone and your softphone, you can make a call from the first to the second one and vice versa :)

Setup
You need a SIP or IAX account.
Please read this short tutorial to learn how to create one.
Setting up an Asterisk account
NOTE: If you are an advanced Asterisk user, please skip the following paragraph about setting up an Asterisk account to use with your phone.
First edit the sip.conf file to create the new account.
Here is what I added to my sip.conf file:
You have to edit some .conf files. Connect to your Asterisk server and find where the extensions.conf and sip.conf files are located. They are usually located at the /etc/asterisk/ directory.
Use your favorite text editor to make some changes.
Use your favorite text editor to make some changes.
First edit the sip.conf file to create the new account.
Study the example below and follow it:
Here is what I added to my sip.conf file:
[user]: needed to indicate we are registering user "user".
username=user: to determine our user's name is "user".
context=conf: defines the dial context for the user "user". Asterisk divides outgoing numbers in groups called contexts in order to separate/define different needs for different uses. In this example the user "user" is in a context called "conf".
type=friend: Users that can place AND receive calls are described as "friend". If your new user will only receive calls, use "peer" as type. For placing calls only use "user" as type.
secret=123: this is where you set up your user's password. He will use it to login/authenticate on Asterisk. It is presented in plain text, bus as only the server's administrators (you) have access to this file, there is nothing to worry about.
allow=all: means that the line which this user will use supports all audio codecs.
host=dynamic: You can define your users IP as static or dynamic, according to the type of network.
rfc2833compensate=yes: You must have this turned on, or DTMF reception will work improperly.
nat=yes: If you are placing the phone behind a NAT you must enable that.
username=user: to determine our user's name is "user".

Save the changes and continue to register an extension for the user "user" ;).
Now please open the file extensions.conf file in your favorite editor to make some changes:
In my file I added :
conf: it is the name of the new context.
The first line "exten => 731,1,Dial(SIP/user)" shows that if somebody dials the number 731 his call will be connected with the user "user" through SIP.
The second line "exten => 731,2,Hangup()" says that if the conversation is over then Asterisk has to hang up the line. It is needed to be sure that Asterisk will free it for the next call.

You can copy the “user” account, and modify it a little.
You can copy the “user” account, and modify it a little.
[user]:change it to [user2] to determine that we are setting an account for “user2”
username=user: change it too - username=user2 to determine our user's name is now "user2".
context=conf: defines the dial context for the user "user2". You should leave it as it is, as “user” and "user2" can be in the same context.
type=friend: leave it as it is, as you will need both of your users to place and receive calls when testing.
secret=123: you may use the same password or change it.
allow=all: you do not need to change that.
host=dynamic: you can either enter the IP address of the computer you've just installed Zoiper on or leave this as it is.
rfc2833compensate=yes: You must have this turned on, or DTMF reception will work improperly.
