3.2.4. ipDialog SipTone 2 SIP hardphone
SipTone 2 is a harphone produced by ipDialog. You can find information also on the phone’s site http://www.ipdialog.com/products.htm. Here we will have a look at the phone’s menu and functions as well as using it to call throuhg Asterisk.
Note: Before going further make sure you have read how to configure Asterisk userasterisk
CONNECTING
To connect the phone plug one end of an Ethernet cable to the PC input and the other end to your PC LAN card. Plug the free end of your Internet cable to the phone’s ‘Net’ input. The other end must be plugged where your Internet is coming from. Plug the adapter in its jack and connect it to the electricity network.
ADJUSTING
Now when you have connected the phone to the network you can add an user. Here is how the telephone looks like.
You can adjust the phone from the phone menu (to access it use the MENU/HANGUP Key) and also from the phone’s site in your local area network. We will use the site to adjust the phone because it is easier and more user friendly.
To see the IP address of your phone just click the INFO/MUTE Key of your phone. The second line you see on the phone’s display is the IP you look for. Now just type http://<Phone_IP_Address> and a dialog window prompting for username and password will appear.
Note: If your browser cannot open the site maybe the IP address is not in your local network. In this case just go to the phone’s menu choose ‘3)Settings’/’2)Phone Settings’/’2)Config Phone’/’3)Network’/’1)DHCP’/’1)Use DHCP’. So now when you reboot the telephone it will have an IP from your local network. Type again the IP address in an internet browser and in the dialog window log with user:admin and password:admin. Below is the menu of the site.
1. General
This menu gives you general information for the phone like version of the phone, serial number and uptime.
2. Network Setup
In the dropdown field choose MANUAL and type the IP address you want for the telephone in the first text field (make sure the IP is not used by anybody). I choose 10.10.0.99 as you see. Note that after you change the IP address of the phone the site where you can access the setting will also be different. Gateway must be the IP address of your gateway (see you network settings). You also have to provide one or more IP for the DNS server that you use.
3. Phone Configuration
Here I register an user which in a while I will also add to Asterisk. You have to add some ‘Full Name’ and ‘User ID’. It does not really matter what they are but it is prefferable to have some connection with the user using the phone. Dial plan field has to be filled with the number which will dial the phone. This number of course must be a valid extension in extensions.conf on Asterisk.
4. Servers
In REGISTAR choose MANUAL and in SIP URL add your Asterisk server in the following format: protocol (the phone supports just SIP), user, Asterisk IP Address – sip:user@Asterisk_IP. In my case you see it is sip:ivan_new@10.3.3.25.
Remember: user ivan_new has to be added to sip.conf in Asterisk. Expire time is the time after which if nobody picks up the call will expire (here the default value is 3600sec which is one hour you). Server password must be the secret value of the user registered to Asterisk in sip.conf
5. Phonebook
In phonebook you can add contacts and keep them stored together.
6. Change Password
You can change the password which you use to log in. The dafault one is admin. Make sure you commit the change otherwise it will not have effect.
7. Advanced
Here you can make advanced changes to the phone. The ports for the SIP ans RTP are set by default as well as the Audio Codec (it is set to G.711 u-Law).
SETTING ASTERISK
To have the phone in work you have to add the user and extension you are going to use (or you already registered to the phone) in sip.conf and extensions.conf
1.sip.conf
Above is sip.conf and as you see I create user ivan_new of type friend (can call and can be called) with username ivan_new and the same password. I set the host IP to dynamic and add the user to the tutorial context.
2.extennions.conf
Here I just add the extension I declared in ‘Phone Configuration’ to dial the phone. As you see it is number 6789 which dials ivan_new who is actualy registered on the phone.
