Chapter 3 Tutorials 3.4 Placing a Call Placing a phone call on your V500 is as easy as with any other phone, although you have a greater variety of options available to you with this one. First and foremost you can have up to 4 separate phone lines with their own VoIP numbers all on the same unit so choosing which line to use may seem like a daunting task (it’s not, but if this is your first experience with the V500 it is easy to understand how it could be).
3.4.1 Receiving an Incoming Call on a 2nd Line Now that you know how to place calls, we’re going to show you how to retrieve an incoming call on a second VoIP number if you’re already talking on a first one. For example, let’s say you’re talking to Jasmine on Line 1 (using VoIP account ‘1001’, from our previous examples) and Sebastian calls in on Line 2 (or VoIP account ‘1002’).

Chapter 11 SIP Account Setup SIP Identities A SIP account uses an identity (sometimes referred to as a SIP address). A complete SIP identity is called a SIP URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). A SIP account's URI identifies the SIP account in a way similar to the way an e-mail address identifies an e-mail account. The format of a SIP identity is SIP-Number@SIP-Service-Domain.
When you use SIP to make a VoIP call, it originates at a client and terminates at a server. A SIP client could be a computer or a SIP phone. One device can act as both a SIP client and a SIP server.
Chapter 11 SIP Account Setup SIP Redirect Server A SIP redirect server accepts SIP requests, translates the destination address to an IP address and sends the translated IP address back to the device that sent the request. Then the client device that originally sent the request can send requests to the IP address that it received back from the redirect server.
The V500 must register its public IP address with a SIP register server. If there is a NAT router between the V500 and the SIP register server, the V500 probably has a private IP address. The V500 lists its IP address in the SIP message that it sends to the SIP register server. NAT does not translate this IP address in the SIP message.
Page 190
Chapter 11 SIP Account Setup • G.711 is a Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) waveform codec. PCM measures analog signal amplitudes at regular time intervals (sampling) and converts them into digital bits (quantization). Quantization “reads” the analog signal and then “writes” it to the nearest digital value.
MWI (Message Waiting Indication) Enable Message Waiting Indication (MWI) enables your phone to give you a message– waiting (beeping) dial tone when you have one or more voice messages. Your VoIP service provider must have a messaging system that sends message-waiting-status SIP packets as defined in RFC 3842.
Page 192
Chapter 11 SIP Account Setup Your V500 can add IEEE 802.1Q VLAN ID tags to voice frames that it sends to the network. This allows the V500 to communicate with a SIP server that is a member of the same VLAN group.

Chapter 12 Phone Setup 12.2.2 Comfort Noise Generation When using VAD, the V500 generates comfort noise when the other party is not speaking. The comfort noise lets you know that the line is still connected as total silence could easily be mistaken for a lost connection.
In peer-to-peer calls, you call another VoIP device directly without going through a SIP server. Enter the callee’s IP address or domain name. The V500 sends SIP INVITE requests to the peer VoIP device when you use the speed dial entry. You do not need to configure a SIP account in order to make a peer-to-peer VoIP call.

P P E N D I X IP Addresses and Subnetting This appendix introduces IP addresses and subnet masks. IP addresses identify individual devices on a network. Every networking device (including computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the network.
Appendix D IP Addresses and Subnetting Figure 209 Network Number and Host ID How much of the IP address is the network number and how much is the host ID varies according to the subnet mask. Subnet Masks A subnet mask is used to determine which bits are part of the network number, and which bits are part of the host ID (using a logical AND operation).
Subnet masks are expressed in dotted decimal notation just like IP addresses. The following examples show the binary and decimal notation for 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit and 29-bit subnet masks. Table 131 Subnet Masks BINARY OCTET 8-bit mask 11111111 16-bit mask 11111111 24-bit mask 11111111...
Appendix D IP Addresses and Subnetting Table 133 Alternative Subnet Mask Notation (continued) SUBNET MASK 255.255.255.192 255.255.255.224 255.255.255.240 255.255.255.248 255.255.255.252 Subnetting You can use subnetting to divide one network into multiple sub-networks. In the following example a network administrator creates two sub-networks to isolate a group of servers from the rest of the company network for security reasons.
Figure 211 Subnetting Example: After Subnetting In a 25-bit subnet the host ID has 7 bits, so each sub-network has a maximum of 2 possible hosts (a host ID of all zeroes is the subnet’s address itself, all ones is the subnet’s broadcast address).
