The purpose of “Outgoing Direct Call” setting is to let user create a proprietary dialing plan when this Gateway is not registered to any H.323 Gatekeeper or any SIP Proxy Server. This setting can also assign some dialing plan to local ports (including prefix strip, prefix addition). Through this setting, user can directly map a number to a specific gateway (IP address).

SIP VoIP Advance Configurtion After the VoIP call is connected, when you dial a digit, this digit is sent to the other side by DTMF tone. There are three methods of sending the DTMF tone. The first one is “in band”, that is, sending the DTMF tone in the voice packet.

The Codec is used to compress the voice signal into data packets. Each Codec has different bandwidth requirement. There are four kinds Voice Codec option of Codec, G.723, G.729AB, G.711_u and G.711_A. The default value is G.723. When you use the VoIP call, you will heard “DuDu” voice that is dial complete tone.
Hot Line Setting You can set hot line. When the call incoming the hot line port, it will call hot line number automatically. The hot line calls the number via VoIP, so you setting the hot line number must VoIP number. Usually, you want to incoming GSM calls transfer to FXS, you only setting the GSM hot line to FXS number.
SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) configuration for SNTP Setting synchronizing gateway clocks in the global Internet. VIP-281GS can send log information to Syslog Server by UDP ports Syslog Setting 514. The VIP-281GS supports packets capture and save the packets to Capture Packets your PC.
Figure 6-2. Save setting Access Control Changing the Administrator/Guest Password For security reasons, we strongly recommend that you set an administrator/password for the router. On first setup the router requires no password. If you don’t set a password the router is open and can be logged into and settings changed by any user from the local network or the Internet.
The gateway synchronizes the gateway’s time after you select the time zone. Use SNTP Setting; select the time zone which gateway was at. Syslog setting Use Syslog server to record your VIP-281GS log file. To set the Syslog server IP address for this function.
