Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Linksys IP Telephony System. The System combines the rich feature set of legacy PBX (Private Branch eXchange) telephone systems with the convenience and cost advantages of Internet telephony. It supports common key system features such as an auto-attendant, music-on-hold, call forwarding, three-way call conferencing, and more.

The System is so easy to configure that a fully working system can be set up in minutes. New Linksys SPA-family Internet telephones are automatically detected and registered when they are connected to the System. While the System will work with any SIP-compatible Internet telephone, it is the ideal host for Linksys business telephones, including model number: SPA941. The System supports the advanced features of these phones, such as shared line appearances, hunt groups, call transfer, call park, and group paging. Plus, with its two FXS ports, the System can support traditional analog devices such as telephones, fax machines, answering machines, media adapters.

How does the System do all of this? By connecting your analog phones or fax machines to the System and connecting the System and Internet phones to your router, then the System can direct voice communications for your network.

But what does all of this mean?

Networks are useful tools for sharing Internet access and computer resources. Multiple computers can share Internet access, so you don’t need more than one high-speed Internet connection. With Internet phone service, your Internet access can now be shared by your Internet phones as well. You will be able to make phone calls using your Internet phone service account, even while another colleague is web browsing. Plus, you can access one printer from different computers and access data located on another computer’s hard drive (with the right permissions).

PCs on a wired network create a LAN, or Local Area Network. They are connected with Ethernet cables, which is why the network is called “wired”. The System takes your wired network and lets you integrate Internet phones and Internet phone service.

When you first install the System, Linksys strongly recommends that you use the Setup Wizard, which you can download from www.linksys.com. If you do not wish to run the Setup Wizard, then use the instructions in the Quick Installation or this User Guide to help you. These instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the IP Telephony System.

NOTE: Some of these features are set up from the Internet phones.

network: a series of computers or devices connected for the purpose of data sharing, storage, and/or transmission between users.

lan (local area network): the computers and networking products that make up the network in your home or office.

ethernet: an IEEE standard network protocol that specifies how data is placed on and retrieved from a common transmission medium.

What’s in this Guide?

This user guide covers the steps for setting up a network with the System. Most users will only need to use “Chapter 4: Getting Started.” When you’re finished, then you are ready to make calls within your system as well as calls to the outside world.

Chapter 2: Applications for the IP Telephony System

How Does the IP Telephony System Fit into My Business or Home?

High-speed Internet access is a valuable resource. When you have more than one computer, chances are you want to share that Internet access with all of your computers. That’s when you create a network, a collection of devices connected to each other. A device called a router connects computers and other devices, so they can Internet share a high-speed Internet connection and other resources, including data and printers.

One of the biggest benefits of the Internet is data communications, either e-mail or web browsing, whether you send a file to a client or download the latest software upgrade. With the System, you also get voice communications.

SPA941 Cable/DSL Modem

What Does the IP Telephony System Do?

The System connects multiple Internet phones to an Internet phone service. The System manages and routes all calls. Incoming calls go to the auto-attendant, an automated greeting system, or correct internal extension (each

SPA941 Switch Router Desktop phone has its own extension number). Outgoing calls go to the correct external phone number (you can have more than one external phone number). Computer

You can have not only more than one external phone number, but also up to four Internet Telephony Service Providers (ITSPs) for maximum flexibility.

NOTE: The basic configuration of the System lets you connect up to four Internet phones and use SPA941 up to four ITSPs. To expand the basic configuration, contact your primary ITSP for more information.

A Typical Scenario

Typically, you connect the Internet port of the System to a local network port of your router. Then connect a switch to another local network port of your router. Use this switch to connect Internet phones, computers, and other devices. Then connect an administration computer to the Ethernet port of the System.

If you have analog telephones or fax machines, you can connect them to the Phone ports, so you can also use Analog Fax Administration those phones to make Internet phone or fax calls. (More details are available in “Chapter 4: Getting Started.”) Phone Computer

Figure 2-1: A Scenario for the IP Telephony System

What Kind of Router Should I Use?

For your network, get the highest-performance router possible. For best results, use a QoS (Quality of Service) router, so it can assign top priority to voice traffic.

What Kind of Switch Should I Use?

Again, performance is key. For best results, use a switch that offers QoS (Quality of Service) and full wire-speed switching. QoS enables the switch to give top priority to voice traffic, while full wire-speed switching lets it forward packets as fast as your network can deliver them. The next best choice is a switch featuring QoS (Quality of Service).

What if I Keep My Traditional Phone Service?

Traditional phone service, also known as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), runs on a network called the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). If you decide to keep traditional phone service, then connect the Analog Telephone Adapter (model number: SPA3000) to the switch. (For more information, refer to the SPA3000 documentation.)

Which Call Management Features Does the IP Telephony System Offer?

Beyond basic call routing, the System offers several powerful and sophisticated features:

  • Auto-Attendant. An automated system guides each caller to the appropriate contact.
  • Music-on-Hold. You can combine the auto-attendant feature with the music- or information-on-hold feature, so the caller has a richer experience with your call system.
  • Call Hunt. You can designate which Internet phones receive outside calls. You can even have calls ring multiple phones, either simultaneously or one at a time.
  • Paging. When you want to page all of the Internet phones, you can use the System.
  • Dial Plans. When you have more than one dial plan, you can route outgoing calls to take advantage of the best rates available for the different types of calls.

After setup of the System, you will have dynamic and feature-rich Internet voice communications for your business or home.

NOTE: If your ITSP configured the System for you, then these features may already be set up. Check with your ITSP for more information.

(To set up these features yourself, refer to “Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility.”)

  2. The System will reboot itself. Then the Internet phones will reboot themselves.
  3. The Voice - Info screen will appear. In the Line 1 Status section, make sure that the Registration Status says, “Registered.”

You are now ready to make your first external call. Use any phone connected to the System, and dial 9 first when you make an external call with the default US dial plan.

You can use analog telephones to make external calls; however, you cannot receive calls on any analog telephones unless you configure the appropriate settings. Refer to the Voice - FXS 1 section of “Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility” for instructions.

Congratulations! Now you can make external calls using the System.

NOTE: If your Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP) supplied the System, then it may be pre-configured for you, and you do not need to change any settings. Refer to the instructions supplied by your ITSP for more information.

NOTE: If you cannot make calls with the default US dial plan, visit www.linksys.com/kb for additional dial plans, or refer to “Appendix C: Dial Plan and Auto-Attendant Scripting for Advanced Users” to write your own script.

Receiving and Handling External Phone Calls

To receive external phone calls, you need to know the Direct Inward Dialing (DID) number assigned to you by your ITSP. Usually this is the same as your user ID, but it can be a different number. Check with your ITSP to find out what your DID number is.

Then decide which Internet phones will ring when an outside caller calls your DID number. The default is aa, which stands for auto-attendant, an automated system that picks up external calls and plays pre-recorded voice messages. If you want only the auto-attendant to receive a call, keep the default setting. When the auto-attendant receives a call, it will prompt the caller to dial the appropriate extension.

If you want specific Internet phones to ring when your DID number is called, then refer to “Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility” for instructions about the Contact List setting.

NOTE: If you decide to keep traditional phone service, which is also known as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), then you will use the Linksys Analog Telephone Adapter (model number: SPA3000). For details, refer to the Analog Telephone Adapter’s documentation.

Configuring the Auto-Attendant

By default, the daytime auto-attendant is enabled, so the first message it plays (“If you know your party’s extension, you may enter it now”) is suitable for business hours. If you want a caller to hear a different greeting during nighttime (non-business) hours, then refer to “Appendix B: Configuring the Nighttime Auto-Attendant.”

To use the Web-based Utility for additional configuration, refer to “Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility.” To use the Interactive Voice Response Menu, proceed to “Chapter 5: Using the Voice Interactive Response Menu.”

Chapter 5: Using the Interactive Voice Response Menu

Overview

You may need to manually configure the System by entering the settings provided by your Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP). This chapter explains how to use the Interactive Voice Response Menu to configure the System’s network settings and record auto-attendant messages. You will use the telephone’s keypad to enter your commands and select choices, and the System will use voice responses.

For more advanced configuration, refer to “Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility.”

Configuring the Auto-Attendant Messages

The System provides a feature called the auto-attendant, which automatically answers incoming calls with greetings or directory messages. It can handle up to 10 incoming calls and uses the default user ID aa.

Auto-Attendant Messages

You can save up to 10 customized greetings. The first four have default messages, which can be changed through the Interactive Voice Response Menu.

Prompt ID Default Audio Message
1 “If you know your party’s extension, you may enter it now.”
2 “Your call has been forwarded.”
3 “Not a valid extension, please try again.”
4 “Goodbye.”

The recorded messages will be encoded with G711U and saved in flash memory. These messages will be erased whenever you reset the System to its factory default settings. The maximum length of any message is one minute. You can record up to 94.5 seconds of audio, excluding the default messages.

Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility

Overview

When you first install the System, Linksys strongly recommends that you use the Setup Wizard, which you can download from www.linksys.com. If you do not wish to run the Setup Wizard, you can use the Web-based Utility to configure the System.

The System may have been pre-configured by your Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP), so you may not have to make any changes. If you do wish to make changes, follow the instructions in this chapter.

The Web-based Utility offers two levels of access: user and admin (administrator). Your level of access depends on your service provider’s policies. Also, access to some settings may be protected or blocked, so that service settings cannot be accidentally changed. For more information, contact your ITSP.

This chapter will describe each web page of the Web-based Utility and each page’s key functions. The Internet connection settings are configured on the Router - WAN Setup screen, while some of the most popular features: auto-attendant, music-on-hold, and call hunt are configured on the Voice - SIP screen. The Utility can be accessed via your web browser through use of a computer on your network.

There are two main tabs: Router and Voice. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.

STUN Enable. This feature lets you use STUN to discover NAT mapping. Select yes or no from the drop-down menu. The default is no.

STUN Test Enable. If the STUN Enable feature is enabled and a valid STUN server is available, then the System can perform a NAT type discovery operation when it powers on. It will contact the configured STUN server, and the result of the discovery will be reported in a Warning header in all subsequent REGISTER requests. If the System detects symmetric NAT or a symmetric firewall, NAT mapping will be disabled.

The STUN Test Enable feature lets you use the STUN test. Select yes or no from the drop-down menu. The default is no.

STUN Server. Enter the IP address of the STUN server to contact for NAT mapping discovery.

EXT IP. Enter the external IP address to substitute for the actual IP address of the System in all outgoing SIP messages. If 0.0.0.0 is specified, then no IP address substitution will be performed.

EXT RTP Port Min. This is the external port mapping number of the RTP Port Min. number. If this value is not zero, then the RTP port number in all outgoing SIP messages will be substituted for the corresponding port value in the external RTP port range.

NAT Keep Alive Intvl. This is the interval between NAT-mapping, keep alive messages. The default is 15.

PBX Parameters

Proxy Network Interface. This tells the System how the clients (usually phones) are connected. Select LAN or WAN. The default is WAN.

Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility The Voice Tab

Multicast Address. This is the IP address (and port number) used by the System to send control messages to all clients at the same time. It must be a multicast address and must contain a port number. The default is 224.168.168.168:6061.

Group Page Address. This is the IP address (and port number) used by the System to tell clients to send and receive group page RTP packets. It must be a multicast address and must contain a port number. The default is 244.168.168.168:34567.

Max Expires. This sets the maximum allowed Registration Expires value (in seconds) for clients. The default is 3600.

Force Media Proxy. This feature forces external clients to use the System’s media proxy when exchanging RTP traffic with external peers. Select yes or no from the drop-down menu. The default is no.

Proxy Debug Option. SIP messages are received at or sent from the proxy listen port. This feature controls which SIP messages to log. Select none for no logging. Select 1-line to log the start-line only for all messages. Select 1-line excl. OPT to log the start-line only for all messages except OPTIONS requests/responses. Select 1-line excl. NTFY to log the start-line only for all messages except NOTIFY requests/responses. Select 1-line excl. REG to log the start-line only for all messages except REGISTER requests/responses. Select 1-line excl. OPT|NTFY|REG to log the start-line only for all messages except OPTIONS, NOTIFY, and REGISTER requests/responses. Select full to log all SIP messages in full text. Select full excl. OPT to log all SIP messages in full text except OPTIONS requests/responses. Select full excl. NTFY to log all SIP messages in full text except NOTIFY requests/responses. Select full excl. REG to log all SIP messages in full text except REGISTER requests/responses. Select full excl. OPT|NTFY|REG to log all SIP messages in full text except for OPTIONS, NOTIFY, and REGISTER requests/responses. The default is full.

Call Routing Rule. This is a special dial plan that determines which line can be used for an external, outbound call request from a phone based solely on the target public number. When you create this rule, follow this format:

(rule|rule|rule|...|rule)

The most specific rules should be placed first.

Each rule should be in this format: <:Lx>pattern

L indicates Line (phone line).

The variable x is 1, 2, 3, or 4 depending on which line you want to specify.

The word pattern indicates any digit pattern (see the Dial Plan setting for more information).

The default is (9xx.); this indicates that any of the four lines can be used for any target number starting with 9. For example, with this dial plan, the caller dials 9 before entering the external phone number.

Internal Music URL. Enter the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), also known as a web address, to download a music file for the music-on-hold and call park features. This is its format: [tftp://]server_IP_address[:port]/path. TFTP is the only protocol supported for music download. The default port is 69. Saving a new URL will reboot the System. After its reboot, the System will download the file and store the samples in flash memory.

The music samples are encoded in G711u format at 8000 samples/second. This file should not contain any extra header information, and its maximum length is 65.536 seconds (524,288 bytes). For more information, refer to “Appendix D: New Music for the Music-on-Hold Feature.”

Internal Music Script. This script tells the System how to play the downloaded music file. This is its format:

[section[,(section[,...]]]

Each section should be in this format: [n (start/end[/pause])] [pause2]

The variable n is the number of times you want a section to repeat before moving to the next section.

The start/end is the starting and 1+ending sample for the section. Note that the samples are numbered from 0 to total-length - 1. You may enter -1 or a very large number if the end of the file should be the ending sample. The default start value is 0, and the default end value is the end of the file.

The variable pause is the number of samples to pause after the ending sample has been played. The default is 0.

The variable pause2 is the additional number of samples to pause after the entire n repetitions of the section have been played. The default is 0.

A maximum of 16 sections can be specified. Samples should be encoded in G711u format at 8000 samples/second. After all sections are played, they are replayed, starting with the first section.

For example, the default Internal Music Script setting is 2(0/230954),2(230954/444720),(0/230954)40000. The first section is 2(0/230954); samples 0 through 230954 will be played twice. The second section is 2(230954/444720); samples 230954 through 444720 will be played twice. The third section is (0/230954); samples 0 through 230954 will be played once.

The last section is 40000. The ending pause will last for 40,000 samples. Each sample lasts 1/8000 of a second, so 40,000 samples equals 5 seconds. When this pause is over, the sections are replayed.

Internal MOH Refresh Intvl. The System can refresh an internal music session periodically. The default is 0, which disables the refresh function.

Call Park MOH Server. Enter the name or IP address of the music-on-hold server that should be used to handle a parked call. If you do not have a music-on-hold server for the call park feature, then keep the default, imusic, and the parked caller will hear the internal music file. Otherwise, if this setting is not specified, the parked caller will hear silence.

Call Park DLG Refresh Intvl. The System can refresh a call park session periodically. The default is 0, which disables the refresh function.

Default Group Line. This is the default group of lines, 1,2,3,4.

Group 1-4 User ID. A group designates specific phones that should be paged as a group, use the same phone lines, and receive the same type of calls. For example, sales calls should go to the sales group. You can designate up to four groups. For each group, enter a comma-separated list of User IDs, each representing a different client. For example, if the sales group is Group 1, then enter the sales extensions: 501,502,503 in the Group 1 User ID field. A client can belong to more than one group. If a client does not belong to any group, then the client belongs to the default group assigned to the Default Group Line. Each User ID pattern can use * and ? wildcards as well as %xx escaped characters (refer to “Appendix C: Dial Plan and Auto-Attendant Scripting for Advanced Users” for more details). The default is a blank field, which means that all clients belong to the default group.

Group 1-4 Line. For each group, enter a comma-separated list of phone lines the clients can use (this list determines the order in which the lines will be used). The System will make external calls for clients using the phone lines listed here. For example, for a group whose setting is 1,3, then System will use Line 1. If that is not successful, then it will use Line 3.

Hunt Groups. This defines one or more hunt groups that can be called directly by any client like a regular extension. The syntax is the same as the syntax for the Contact List. Note that a member of one group can also be the extension of another group (i.e., one level of recursion is allowed).

SIP DIDN Field. This determines which field is used to indicate the Direct Inward Dialing (DID) number for an incoming INVITE to a line interface. Select TO UserID to use the User-ID field of the TO header, or select TO Param to use a parameter in the TO header with the name specified in the SIP DIDN PARAM Name. The default is TO UserID.

SIP DIDN Param Name. This indicates the DID number in an incoming INVITE message. The default is didn. Auto Attendant Parameters AA Dial Plan 1. This is used to define the first dial rule in the auto-attendant. The default is (10x|xxx.). Refer to

“Appendix C: Dial Plan and Auto-Attendant Scripting for Advanced Users” for more details. AA Dial Plan 2. This is used to define the second dial rule in the auto-attendant. The default is (<:10>x|xxx.). Figure 6-21: Voice - SIP Screen - Auto Attendant

start=hh:mm:ss;end=hh:mm:ss (hh for hours, mm for minutes, and ss for seconds) For example, start=9:0:0;end=17:0:0 means the start time is 9 AM and the end time is 5 PM. The other hours

(5 PM to 9 AM) are considered nighttime hours.

If you do not enter start and end times, then the whole day (24 hours) is considered as daytime, so the nighttime auto-attendant will not be used, even if it is enabled. DayTime AA Script. Select the daytime auto-attendant script that you want to use, 1, 2, or 3. The default is 1. DayTime Answer Delay. Select the number of seconds you want the daytime auto-attendant to wait before

Select the number of seconds you want the nighttime auto-attendant to wait before

answering. The default is 0 seconds. Weekend/Holiday AA. To enable this auto-attendant, select yes. Otherwise, select no. The default is no. Weekends/Holidays. When the weekend/holiday auto-attendant is enabled, you can use this setting to specify

the weekends and holidays. Up to four weekend days can be defined. Use this format: [wk=n1[,ni];][hd=mm/dd/yyyy|mm/dd/yyyy-mm/dd/yyyy[,mm/dd/yyyy|mm/dd/yyyy-mm/dd/yyyy];] (wk for weekend, which can be 1 for Monday to 7 for Sunday) (hd for holiday, which does not have to include the year) For example, wk=6,7;hd=1/1,2/21/2006,5/30/2006,12/19/2006-12/30/2006 means that Saturdays and Sundays

are the weekends. Holidays are January 1-2, 2006; May 30, 2006; and December 19-30, 2006.

0:0:0 of the given date.

This is the format of the rule: Start = ; end=; save =

The and values specify the start and end dates and times of daylight saving time. Each value is in this format: / / [/HH:[mm[:ss]]] The value is the number of hours, minutes, and/or seconds to add to the current time during daylight saving time. The value can be preceded by a negative (-) sign if subtraction is desired instead of addition. The value is in this format: [/[+|-]HH:[mm[:ss]]]

The value equals any value in the range 1-12 (January-December). The value equals [+|-] any value in the range 1-31. If is 1, it means the on or before the end of the month (in other words the last occurrence of <

weekday> in that month). The value equals any value in the range 1-7 (Monday-Sunday). It can also equal 0. If the value is 0, this means that the date to start or end daylight saving is exactly the date given. In

that case, the value must not be negative.

If the value is not 0 and the value is positive, then daylight saving starts or ends on the value on or after the date given. If the value is not 0 and the value is negative, then daylight saving starts or ends on the

value on or before the date given. The abbreviation HH stands for hours (0-23). The abbreviation mm stands for minutes (0-59). The abbreviation ss stands for seconds (0-59).

User ID. Enter the extension number for this line.

Password. Enter the password for this line.

Use Auth ID. To use the authentication ID and password for SIP authentication, select yes. Otherwise, select no to use the user ID and password. The default is no.

Auth ID. Enter the authentication ID here.

Call Capacity. Select the maximum number of calls allowed on this line. (The System does not distinguish between incoming and outgoing calls when it determines its call capacity.)

Contact List. This is a list of clients that System should alert when there is an incoming call on this line. Each rule is also known as a hunt group. The default method to ring a group is to ring all the members simultaneously, unless a hunt rule is specified. The default contact list is aa (auto-attendant).

When you create this rule, follow this format: rule[|rule[|rule[...]]] The most specific rules should be placed first. Each rule should be in this format: [did:]ext[,ext[,ext[...]]][,name=gname][,hunt=hrule][,cfwd=target] The term did indicates an embedded Direct Inward Dialing (DID) number. If it is not specified, then the rule applies

to any DID number.

The term ext indicates the client extension number pattern. It accepts * and ? wildcards as well as %xx escaped characters. The term name is a name for the call group. If a hrule is specified, then the listed clients are contacted sequentially (also known as hunting); otherwise, they

will ring simultaneously. When you create this hrule, follow this format: hunt=<algo>;<interval>;<max> The term <algo> determines the order to ring the clients. It can be one of the following:

  • restart or re= so it always starts from the beginning of the list
  • next or ne= so it starts from the next on the list to the last client that rings
  • random or ra= so the order is random for each call

The term <interval> is the time, in seconds, to ring each client.

The term <max> is the total time, in seconds, to hunt before the call is rejected or forwarded to voicemail. If <max> is less than <interval>, it is interpreted as the number of cycles to go through the hunt group before call hunting stops. If <max> is 0, call hunting will continue indefinitely until the caller hangs up or someone answers the call.

If necessary, the call is forwarded to a user ID, called the target, in the hrule. If the target is a voicemail mailbox, then the target starts with vm. For example, the target vm3456 will have calls forwarded to voicemail with the mailbox ID 3456.

For example, the Contact List is 501,502,hunt=ne,4,1;cfwd=aa. This means that 501 will ring first for four seconds. If 501 does not pick up or is already on another call, then 502 will ring for four seconds. This cycle will repeat once before the call hunting stops. Then the call goes to the auto-attendant.

Cfwd No Ans Delay. Enter the delay, in seconds, before the call forwarding of no-answer calls feature is triggered. The default is 20.

Dial Plan Dial Plan. Enter the dial plan script for this line. Refer to “Appendix C: Dial Plan and Auto-Attendant Scripting for Advanced Users” for more details. The default is (<9:>xx.).

NAT Settings

NAT Mapping Enable. To use externally mapped IP addresses and SIP/RTP ports in SIP messages, select yes. Otherwise, select no. The default is no. NAT Keep Alive Enable. To send the configured NAT keep alive message periodically, select yes. Otherwise,

select no. The default is no. NAT Keep Alive Msg. Enter the keep alive message that should be sent periodically to maintain the current NAT

mapping. If the value is $NOTIFY, then a NOTIFY message is sent. If the value is $REGISTER, then a REGISTER message without contact is sent. The default is $NOTIFY. NAT Keep Alive Dest. Enter the destination that should receive NAT keep alive messages. If the value is $PROXY,

then the messages will be sent to the current or outbound proxy. The default is $PROXY. EXT SIP Port. Enter the port number of the external port to substitute for the actual SIP port of the System in all

outgoing SIP messages. Proxy and Registration Proxy. Enter the SIP proxy server for all outbound requests. Use Outbound Proxy. To use the outbound proxy, select yes. Otherwise, select no. The default is no. Outbound Proxy. Enter the SIP outbound proxy server, where all outbound requests are sent for the first hop. Use OB Proxy In Dialog. To force SIP requests to be sent to the outbound proxy within a dialog, select yes.

Otherwise, select no. The default is yes.

Register. To require periodic registration with the proxy server, select yes. Otherwise, select no. The default is yes. Make Call Without Reg. To allow outbound calls to be made without successful registration by the System,

select yes. Otherwise, select no. The default is no.

Figure 6-47: Voice - Line 1 Screen - Dial Plan

Register Expires. This is the expiration value, in seconds, of a REGISTER request. The System will periodically renew registration shortly before the current registration has expired. The default is 3600.

Ans Call Without Reg. To allow inbound calls to be answered without successful registration by the System, select yes. Otherwise, select no. The default is no.

Use DNS SRV. To use the DNS SRV lookup for proxy and outbound proxy, select yes. Otherwise, select no. The default is no.

DNS SRV Auto Prefix. To have the System automatically prepend the proxy or outbound proxy name with _sip._udp when it is performing a DNS SRV lookup on that name, select yes. Otherwise, select no. The default is no.

Proxy Fallback Intvl. This sets the delay, in seconds, after which the System will retry from the highest priority proxy (or outbound proxy) servers after it has failed over to a lower priority server. It will work only if the primary and backup proxy server list is provided to the System via the DNS SRV record lookup on the server name. The default is 3600.

Proxy Redundancy Method. The System will create an internal list of proxies returned in DNS SRV records. You have a choice of two modes. Select Normal mode if you want this list to contain proxies organized by weight and priority. Select Based on SRV Port mode if you want the System to use Normal mode first and then inspect the port number based on the first proxy’s port on the list. The default is Normal.

Mailbox Subscribe URL. Enter the URL that should receive the SUBSCRIBE messages, so the System will receive voicemail status notification for all mailboxes on this line.

Mailbox Deposit URL. Enter the URL that the System will contact when clients and external callers need to deposit voicemail in any of the mailboxes on this line.

Mailbox Manage URL. Enter the URL that the IP Telephony will contact when it needs to check voicemail for any of the mailboxes on this line.

Mailbox Status. Displayed here is the status for all mailboxes on this line. The status is automatically updated when the System receives voicemail status notification from the ITSP. The information is shown in this format:

[mailboxID:number of new messages/number of old messages[,mailboxID:number of new messages/number of old messages[,mailboxID:number of new messages/number of old messages[,...]]]]

Appendix A: Troubleshooting

This appendix provides solutions to problems that may occur during the installation and operation of the IP Telephony System. Read the description below to solve your problems. If you can't find an answer here, check the Linksys website at www.linksys.com.

Common Problems and Solutions

1. The System did not automatically assign an extension number to the Linksys SPA-family Internet phone, and the phone’s Ext LED is yellow instead of green.

Follow these steps:

A. Open the web browser on the administration computer.

B. Enter http://192.168.0.1/admin/router/status.

C. If the phone is on the WAN side, write down the Current IP of the System. (This is the Internet IP address.)

If the phone is on the LAN side, write down the LAN IP Address of the System. (This is the local IP

address.)

D. Access the phone’s Web-based Utility.

E. Make sure the configured proxy server on the phone matches the System’s IP address. (Refer to the phone’s documentation for details.)

2. The Internet phone can make internal calls to other Internet phones and analog phones; however, it cannot make external calls.

Check to see if the Internet phone’s line is registered. Follow these steps:

A. Open the web browser on the administration computer.

B. Enter http://192.168.0.1/admin/voice/advanced.

C. On the Voice - Info screen, check to see if the Line 1 Status indicates that the Registration State says, “Registered.”

D. If it is not registered, then verify that the User ID, Proxy, and Password supplied by your Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP) are valid (these settings are configured on the Line 1 screen).

3. I made a call from an outside line, and I did not hear a ring tone after I entered the extension number.

First, try again and make sure you entered the extension number correctly. If you still do not hear a ring tone, then follow these steps:

A. Open the web browser on the administration computer.

B. Enter http://192.168.0.1/admin/voice/status.

C. On the PBX Status screen, make sure the Internet phone for that extension number is registered.

4. I made a call from an outside line, and the auto-attendant says, “Not a valid extension, please try again.” However, I can make outgoing calls from the Internet phone with that extension number.

Follow these steps:

A. Open the web browser on the administration computer.

B. Enter http://192.168.0.1/admin/voice/advanced.

C. Click the SIP tab.

D. On the Voice - SIP screen, add the extension number to the Auto-Attendant dial plan.

5. When an outside line calls the System, it rings one time and then goes to the auto-attendant.

By default, if no one answers the call after four seconds, then the call will go to the auto-attendant. To change this setting, follow these steps:

A. Open the web browser on the administration computer.

B. Enter http://192.168.0.1/admin/voice/advanced.

C. Click the SIP tab.

D. On the Voice - SIP screen, change the appropriate Answer Delay setting (DayTime, NightTime, or Weekends/Holidays).

6. How can I change greetings for the auto-attendant?

Use the Interactive Voice Response Menu to record or change greetings; refer to “Chapter 5: Using the Interactive Voice Response Menu” for instructions.

7. I want to use another computer on the network (not the administration computer) to access the Web-based Utility. I entered http://192.168.0.1, but this address did not work.

Any computer connected to your router should use the Internet (WAN) IP address of the System. (The administration computer is directly connected to the System’s Ethernet port, so it can use http://192.168.0.1, which is the System’s local IP address.) Use the Interactive Voice Response Menu to find out the System’s Internet IP address. Follow these steps:

A. Use a telephone connected to the Phone 1 port of the System.

B. Press **** (in other words, press the star key four times).

C. Wait until you hear “Linksys configuration menu. Please enter the option followed by the # (pound) key or hang up to exit.”

D. Press 110#.

E. You will hear the IP address assigned to the System’s Internet (external) interface. Write it down.

F. Press 7932#.

G. Press 1 to enable WAN access to the Web-based Utility.

H. Open the web browser on a networked computer.

I. Enter http://(Internet IP address of the System).

8. I’m trying to access the System’s Web-based Utility, but I do not see the login screen. Instead, I see a screen saying, “404 Forbidden.”

If you are using Windows Explorer, perform the following steps until you see the Web-based Utility’s login screen (Netscape Navigator will require similar steps):

A. Click File. Make sure Work Offline is NOT checked.

B. Press CTRL + F5. This is a hard refresh, which will force Windows Explorer to load new webpages, not cached ones.

C. Click Tools. Click Internet Options. Click the Security tab. Click the Default level button. Make sure the security level is Medium or lower. Then click the OK button.

9. I need to set a static IP address on a PC.

The System, by default, assigns an IP address range of 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.150 using the DHCP server on the System. To set a static IP address, you can only use the ranges 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.99 and 192.168.0.151 to 192.168.0.254. Each PC or network device that uses TCP/IP must have a unique address to identify itself in a network. If the IP address is not unique to a network, Windows will generate an IP conflict error message. You can assign a static IP address to a PC by performing the following steps:

For Windows 98 and Millennium:

  • If you do NOT get a reply, there may be a problem with the connection. Try the ping command from a different computer to verify that your original computer is not the cause of the problem.

11. I am not getting an IP address on the Internet with my Internet connection.

A. Refer to “Problem #10, I want to test my Internet connection” to verify that you have connectivity.

B. If you need to register the MAC address of your Ethernet adapter with your ISP, please see “Appendix E: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter.” If you need to clone the MAC address of your Ethernet adapter onto the System, see the Router - WAN Setup - MAC Clone Settings section of “Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility.”

C. Make sure you are using the right Internet settings. Contact your ISP to see if your Internet connection type is DHCP, Static IP Address, or PPPoE (commonly used by DSL consumers). Refer to the Router - WAN Setup - Internet Connection Settings section of “Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility.”

D. Make sure you use the right cable. Check to see if the LEDs for the Internet port are lit.

E. Make sure the cable connecting from your cable or DSL modem is connected to the Internet port of the System or your network router. Verify that the Router - Status page of the System’s Web-based Utility shows a valid IP address from your ISP.

F. Power off your network devices, including the System, cable/DSL modem, and router (if you have a separate router). Wait 30 seconds, and power on the cable/DSL modem first. Then power on the router (if used), System, and other network devices. Check the Router - Status tab of the System’s Web-based Utility to see if you get an IP address.

12. I am not able to access the System’s Web-based Utility Setup page.

A. Refer to “Problem #10, I want to test my Internet connection” to verify that your computer is properly connected to the System.

B. Refer to “Appendix E: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter” to verify that your computer has an IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS.

C. Set a static IP address on your system; refer to “Problem #9: I need to set a static IP address on a PC.”

D. Refer to “Problem #17: I am a PPPoE user, and I need to remove the proxy settings or the dial-up pop-up window.”

13. I can’t get my Virtual Private Network (VPN) to work through the System.

VPNs that use IPSec with the ESP (Encapsulation Security Payload known as protocol 50) authentication will work fine. At least one IPSec session will work through the System; however, simultaneous IPSec sessions may be possible, depending on the specifics of your VPNs.

VPNs that use IPSec and AH (Authentication Header known as protocol 51) are incompatible with the System. AH has limitations due to occasional incompatibility with the NAT standard.

Change the IP address for the System to another subnet to avoid a conflict between the VPN IP address and your local IP address. For example, if your VPN server assigns an IP address 192.168.0.X (X is a number from 1 to 254) and your local LAN IP address is 192.168.0.X (X is the same number used in the VPN IP address), the System will have difficulties routing information to the right location. If you change the System’s IP address to 192.168.2.1, that should solve the problem. Change the System’s IP address through the Router - LAN Setup tab of the Web-based Utility. If you assigned a static IP address to any computer or network device on the network, you need to change its IP address accordingly to 192.168.2.Y (Y being any number from 1 to 254). Note that each IP address must be unique within the network.

Your VPN may require port 500/UDP packets to be passed to the computer that is connecting to the IPSec server. Refer to “Problem #15, I need to set up online game hosting or use other Internet applications” for details. Check the Linksys website at www.linksys.com for more information.

14. I need to set up a server behind my System.

To use a server like a web, ftp, or mail server, you need to know the respective port numbers they are using. For example, port 80 (HTTP) is used for web; port 21 (FTP) is used for FTP, and port 25 (SMTP outgoing) and port 110 (POP3 incoming) are used for the mail server. You can get more information by viewing the documentation provided with the server you installed. Follow these steps to set up port forwarding through the System’s Web-based Utility. We will be setting up web, ftp, and mail servers.

A. Access the System’s Web-based Utility by going to http://192.168.0.1 or the IP address of the System. Go to the Router => Application tab.

B. Select yes from the Enable drop-down menu.

C. Enter any name you want to use for the service.

D. Enter the port range of the service you are using. For example, if you have a web server, you would enter the range 80 (in the Starting Port field) to 80 (in the Ending Port field).

E. Select the protocol you will be using, TCP or UDP, or select Both.

F. Enter the IP address of the PC or network device that you want the port server to go to. For example, if the web server’s Ethernet adapter IP address is 192.168.0.100, you would enter 100 in the field provided. Check “Appendix E: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter” for details on getting an IP address.

G. Follow the instructions in steps B-F for the port services you want to use. Consider the examples below:

Enable Service Name Starting and Ending Ports Protocol IP Address
yes Web server 80 to 80 Both 192.168.0.100
yes FTP server 21 to 21 TCP 192.168.0.101
yes SMTP (outgoing) 25 to 25 Both 192.168.0.102
yes POP3 (incoming) 110 to 110 Both 192.168.0.102

When you have completed the configuration, click the Submit All Changes button.

15. I need to set up online game hosting or use other Internet applications.

If you want to play online games or use Internet applications, most will work without doing any port forwarding or DMZ hosting. There may be cases when you want to host an online game or Internet application. This would require you to set up the System to deliver incoming packets or data to a specific computer. This also applies to the Internet applications you are using. The best way to get the information on what port services to use is to go to the website of the online game or application you want to use. Follow these steps to set up online game hosting or use a certain Internet application:

A. Access the System’s Web-based Utility by going to http://192.168.0.1 or the IP address of the System. Go to the Router => Application tab.

B. Enter any name you want to use for the Application.

C. Select yes from the Enable drop-down menu.

D. Enter any name you want to use for the service.

E. Enter the port range of the service you are using. For example, if you have a web server, you would enter the range 80 (in the Starting Port field) to 80 (in the Ending Port field).

F. Select the protocol you will be using, TCP or UDP, or select Both.

G. Enter the IP address of the PC or network device that you want the port server to go to. For example, if the web server’s Ethernet adapter IP address is 192.168.0.100, you would enter 100 in the field provided. Check “Appendix E: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter” for details on getting an IP address.

H. Check the Enabled option for the port services you want to use. Consider the examples below:

Enable Application Starting and Ending Ports Protocol IP Address
yes UT 7777 to 27900 Both 192.168.0.100
yes Halflife 27015 to 27015 Both 192.168.0.105
yes PC Anywhere 5631 to 5631 UDP 192.168.0.102
yes VPN IPSEC 500 to 500 UDP 192.168.0.100

When you have completed the configuration, click the Submit All Changes button.

16. I can’t get the Internet game, server, or application to work.

If you are having difficulties getting any Internet game, server, or application to function properly, consider exposing one PC to the Internet using DeMilitarized Zone (DMZ) hosting. This option is available when an application requires too many ports or when you are not sure which port services to use. Make sure you disable all the forwarding entries if you want to successfully use DMZ hosting, since forwarding has priority over DMZ hosting. (In other words, data that enters the System will be checked first by the forwarding settings. If the port number that the data enters from does not have port forwarding, then the System will send the data to whichever PC or network device you set for DMZ hosting.) Follow these steps to set DMZ hosting:

A. Access the System’s Web-based Utility by going to http://192.168.0.1 or the IP address of the System. Go to the Router => Application tab.

B. Disable or remove the entries you have entered for forwarding. Keep this information in case you want to use it at a later time.

C. Select yes from the Enable DMZ drop-down menu.

D. Enter the Ethernet adapter’s IP address of the computer you want exposed to the Internet. This will bypass the NAT security for that computer. Please refer to “Appendix E: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter” for details on getting an IP address.

Once completed with the configuration, click the Submit All Changes button.

17. I am a PPPoE user, and I need to remove the proxy settings or the dial-up pop-up window.

If you have proxy settings, you need to disable these on your computer. Because the System is the gateway Internet access, the computer does not need proxy settings to gain access. Follow these directions to verify that you do not have any proxy settings and that the browser you use is set to connect directly to the LAN.

For Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher:

A. Click Start, Settings, and Control Panel. Double-click Internet Options.

B. Click the Connections tab.

C. Click the LAN settings button and remove anything that is checked.

D. Click the OK button to go back to the previous screen.

E. Click the option Never dial a connection. This will remove any dial-up pop-ups for PPPoE users.

For Netscape 4.7 or higher:

A. Start Netscape Navigator, and click Edit, Preferences, Advanced, and Proxies.

B. Make sure you have Direct connection to the Internet selected on this screen.

C. Close all the windows to finish.

18. To start over, I need to set the System to its factory default settings.

Refer to “Chapter 5: Using the Interactive Voice Response Menu” for instructions.

19. I need to upgrade the firmware.

Firmware upgrades are handled by your ITSP. Contact your service provider for more information.

20. When I enter a URL or IP address, I get a time-out error or am prompted to retry.

Go through this checklist until your problem is solved:

  • Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your workstation’s IP settings are correct (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS). Restart the computer that is having a problem.
  • If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the System. Make sure that it is connected and powered on. Check its settings. (If you cannot connect to it, check the LAN and power connections.)
  • If you have a separate router, check the router. Make sure that it is connected and powered on. Check its settings. (If you cannot connect to it, check the LAN and power connections.)
  • Check your Internet connection (DSL/cable modem) to see if it is working correctly. You can remove the System and router (if used) to verify a direct connection.
  • Manually configure the TCP/IP with a DNS address provided by your ISP.
  • Make sure that your browser is set to connect directly and that any dial-up is disabled. For Internet Explorer, click Tools, Internet Options, and then the Connection tab. Make sure that Internet Explorer is set to Never dial a connection. For Netscape Navigator, click Edit, Preferences, Advanced, and Proxy. Make sure that Netscape Navigator is set to Direct connection to the Internet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a phone call?

For calls within your system, pick up your phone and dial the extension number you want. For external calls, follow the instructions of your ITSP. You may be asked to dial a specific prefix for outside calls. For more information, contact your ITSP.

Can I make calls if my Internet connection is down?

When you make Internet phone calls, your high-speed Internet connection must be active. However, if you have maintained a traditional analog phone account, then you can still make calls through the Linksys Analog Telephone Adapter (model number: SPA3000); refer to the SPA3000 documentation for more information.

How do I access my voicemail?

Voicemail is handled by your ITSP. Contact your provider for more information.

How do I check which Internet phones have registered with the System?

Open the web browser on a networked computer. Enter http://192.168.0.1/admin/voice/status. The PBX Status screen lists the Internet phones that have registered with the System.

What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the System will support?

The System will support up to 253 IP addresses.

Does the System support IPX or AppleTalk?

No. TCP/IP is the only protocol standard for the Internet and has become the global standard for communications. IPX, a NetWare communications protocol used only to route messages from one node to another, and AppleTalk, a communications protocol used on Apple and Macintosh networks, can be used for LAN to LAN connections, but those protocols cannot connect from the Internet to the LAN.

What is Network Address Translation and what is it used for?

Network Address Translation (NAT) translates multiple IP addresses on the private LAN to one public address that is sent out to the Internet. This adds a level of security since the address of a PC connected to the private LAN is never transmitted on the Internet. Furthermore, NAT allows the System to be used with low-cost Internet accounts, such as DSL or cable modems, when only one TCP/IP address is provided by the ISP. The user may have many private addresses behind this single address provided by the ISP.

Does the System support any operating system other than Windows 98, Millennium, 2000, or XP?

Yes, but Linksys does not, at this time, provide technical support for setup, configuration or troubleshooting of any non-Windows operating systems.

Does the System support ICQ send file?

Yes, with the following fix: click ICQ menu => preference => connections tab=>, and check I am behind a firewall or proxy. Then set the firewall time-out to 80 seconds in the firewall setting. The Internet user can then send a file to a user behind the System.

I set up an Unreal Tournament Server, but others on the LAN cannot join. What do I need to do?

If you have a dedicated Unreal Tournament server running, you need to create a static IP for each of the LAN computers and forward ports 7777, 7778, 7779, 7780, 7781, and 27900 to the IP address of the server. You can also use a port forwarding range of 7777 to 27900. If you want to use the UT Server Admin, forward another port (8080 usually works well but is used for remote admin. You may have to disable this.), and then in the [UWeb.WebServer] section of the server.ini file, set the ListenPort to 8080 (to match the mapped port above) and ServerName to the IP assigned to the System from your ISP.

Can multiple gamers on the LAN get on one game server and play simultaneously with just one public IP address?

It depends on which network game or what kind of game server you are using. For example, Unreal Tournament supports multi-login with one public IP.

How do I get Half-Life: Team Fortress to work with the System?

The default client port for Half-Life is 27005. The computers on your LAN need to have “+clientport 2700x” added to the HL shortcut command line; the x would be 6, 7, 8, and on up. This lets multiple computers connect to the same server. One problem: Version 1.0.1.6 won’t let multiple computers with the same CD key connect at the same time, even if on the same LAN (not a problem with 1.0.1.3). As far as hosting games, the HL server does not need to be in the DMZ. Just forward port 27015 to the local IP address of the server computer.

How can I block corrupted FTP downloads?

If you get corrupted files when you use your FTP client, try using another FTP program.

The web page hangs; downloads are corrupt, or nothing but junk characters are being displayed on the screen. What do I need to do?

Force your Ethernet adapter to 10Mbps or half duplex mode, and turn off the “Auto-negotiate” feature of your Ethernet adapter as a temporary measure. (Look at the Network Control Panel in your Ethernet adapter’s Advanced Properties tab.) Make sure that your proxy setting is disabled in the browser. Check www.linksys.com for more information.

How do I upgrade the System’s firmware?

Firmware upgrades are handled by your ITSP. Contact your service provider for more information.

Will the System function in a Macintosh environment?

Yes, but the System’s setup pages are accessible only through Internet Explorer 5.0 or Netscape Navigator 5.0 or higher for Macintosh.

I am not able to get the web configuration screen for the System. What can I do?

You may have to remove the proxy settings on your Internet browser, e.g., Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. Or remove the dial-up settings on your browser. Check with your browser documentation, and make sure that your browser is set to connect directly and that any dial-up is disabled. Make sure that your browser is set to connect directly and that any dial-up is disabled. For Internet Explorer, click Tools, Internet Options, and then the Connection tab. Make sure that Internet Explorer is set to Never dial a connection. For Netscape Navigator, click Edit, Preferences, Advanced, and Proxy. Make sure that Netscape Navigator is set to Direct connection to the Internet.

What is DMZ hosting?

Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) allows one IP address (computer) to be exposed to the Internet. Some applications require multiple TCP/IP ports to be open. It is recommended that you set your computer with a static IP if you want to use DMZ Hosting. To get the LAN IP address, see “Appendix E: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter.”

If DMZ is used, does the exposed user share the public IP with the System?

No.

Does the System pass PPTP packets or actively route PPTP sessions?

The System allows PPTP packets to pass through.

Is the System cross-platform compatible?

Any platform that supports Ethernet and TCP/IP is compatible with the System.

Which modems are compatible with the System?

The System is compatible with virtually any cable or DSL modem that supports Ethernet.

How can I check whether I have static or DHCP IP addresses?

Ask your ISP to find out.

How do I get mIRC to work with the System?

Under the Router => Applications tab, set the Starting and Ending Ports to 113 for the computer on which you are using mIRC.

If your questions are not addressed here, refer to the Linksys website, www.linksys.com.

Appendix B: Configuring the Nighttime Auto-Attendant

Description of the Auto-Attendant

The auto-attendant is an internal service within the System. It plays pre-recorded voice messages that offer the caller a menu of choices, so the auto-attendant can appropriately direct the call. After the caller has made a choice, the call is routed to the appropriate extension, so the caller is connected to the correct party or presented with another menu of choices.

There are three auto-attendants available, one for daytime, one for nighttime, and one for weekends/holidays. By default, the daytime auto-attendant is enabled, and the first message it plays (Prompt ID 1) is suitable for business hours. This appendix covers the steps required to configure the auto-attendant for nighttime hours.

Instructions for Setting Up the Nighttime Auto-Attendant

You can save up to 10 customized greetings. The first four have default messages, which can be changed through the Interactive Voice Response Menu.

Prompt ID Default Audio Message
1 “If you know your party’s extension, you may enter it now.”
2 “Your call has been forwarded.”
3 “Not a valid extension, please try again.”
4 “Goodbye.”

If you want a caller to hear a different greeting during nighttime (non-business) hours, then you should record a new prompt, such as Prompt ID 5, using the Interactive Voice Response Menu and then configure the auto-attendant settings using the Web-based Utility. For example, Prompt ID 5 could say, “The company is currently closed. Our business hours are 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday to Friday.”

The following instructions explain how to record Prompt ID 5 and configure the nighttime auto-attendant to use Prompt ID 5 as the initial greeting. You can also use these instructions to record additional prompts and further customize your auto-attendant, as long as you also update the AA script 2 code accordingly through the Web-based Utility (refer to “Appendix C: Dial Plan and Auto-Attendant Scripting for Advanced Users”).

Recording a New Prompt To record a new prompt, follow these instructions:

  1. Using one of the analog telephones connected to the System, press **** (in other words, press the star key four times).
  2. Wait until you hear “Linksys configuration menu. Please enter the option followed by the # (pound) key or hang up to exit.”
  3. Press 72255# to access the auto-attendant message settings.
  4. You will hear, “Please enter the message number followed by the # key.” Press 5#.
  5. The Interactive Voice Response Menu will say, “Enter 1 to record. Enter 2 to review. Enter 3 to delete. Enter * to exit.”
  6. Press 1 and record your message.
  7. After you have finished your message, press #.
    1. After you record the message, you will hear, “To save, enter 1. To review, enter 2. To re-record, enter 3. To exit, enter *.” If you entered 1, the new message will be saved. If you entered 2, you will hear the message played.
    2. If you entered 3, you will be returned to step 7. Figure B-1: Auto-Attendant Message Options If you entered *, you will be returned to the menu in step 5. NOTE: If there is not enough memory left to

than 15 seconds, then you will hear, “One

moment, please.” This indicates that it will take several seconds to save the message. After the message has been saved, you can continue to use the Interactive Voice Response Menu.

To configure the nighttime auto-attendant, proceed to the next section.

Configuring the Auto-Attendant Settings

To configure the nighttime auto-attendant, follow these instructions:

  1. Launch Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator on the administration computer.
    1. Enter /admin/voice/advanced in the web browser’s Address field. (Enter the IP address you assigned to the System when you installed it.)
    2. Then press the Enter key.
  2. The Voice - Info screen will appear. Click the SIP tab.
  3. On the SIP screen, scroll down to the Auto Attendant Parameters.
  4. For the AA script 2 field, follow these instructions:

a. Copy the default AA script 1 text to the Notepad (or other word processing program).

This is the default AA script 1 code:

Appendix C: Dial Plan and Auto-Attendant Scripting for Advanced Users

Overview

This appendix discusses the dial plan and auto-attendant (aa) features of the System. It also explains how to configure and write scripts for both features.

Configuring Dial Plans

The System allows each phone line to be configured with a distinct dial plan. The dial plan specifies how to

NOTE: If the default US dial plan does not meet

interpret digit sequences dialed by the caller and how to convert those sequences into an outbound dial string.

your needs, visit www.linksys.com/kb for additional dial plans, or use this appendix to write The Dial Plan settings contain the actual dial plan scripts for the various lines. Each plan contains a series of digit sequences, separated by this character, | . The collection of sequences is collected in parentheses, ‘ and ’. your own script.

When a caller dials a series of digits, each sequence in the dial plan is tested as a possible match. The matching sequences form a set of candidate digit sequences. As more digits are entered by the caller, the candidates are eliminated until only one or none is valid.

The following table describes the entries to use for the dial plan.

Table 1: Dial Plan Entries

Dial Plan Entry Function
*xx Allows arbitrary 2-digit star code
[3469]11 Allows x11 sequences (for example, 311, 411, 611, 911)
0 Dials operator
00 Dials international operator
[2-9]xxxxxx Dials US local number
1xxx[2-9]xxxxxx Dials US 1 + 10-digit long distance number
xxxxxxxxxx. Dials all other numbers, including international long distance

Entries include the following:

  • Individual characters include 0 to 9, *, #.
  • The letter x matches any single number from 0 to 9.
    • A subset of keys within brackets represents a range: [set]. For example, [389] means 3 or 8 or 9
      • A numeric range is allowed within the brackets: [digit-digit]. For example, [2-9] means 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.
      • A range can be combined with other keys. For example, [235-8*] means, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, or *.

These are the rules for the entries:

  • Any key can be repeated zero or more times by adding a . (period) to the end. For example, 01. matches 0, 01, 011, 0111...
  • A sub-sequence of keys, which can be empty, can be automatically replaced with a different sub-sequence using an angled bracket notation: . For example, 8:1650.xxxxxxx matches 85551212 and transmits 16505551212.
  • An outside line dial tone can be generated within a sequence by adding a , (comma) between digits. For example, 9,1xxxxxxxxxx sounds an outside line dial tone after the caller presses 9, until the 1 is pressed.
  • A sequence can be barred or rejected by placing an ! (exclamation mark) at the end of the sequence. For example, 1900xxxxxxx! automatically blocks all 900 area code numbers from being dialed.

Here are some examples of dial plans:

(1xxxxxxxxxx) - This dial plan accepts only US-style 1 + area code + local number, with no restrictions on the area code and number.

(1xxxxxxxxxx|,<:1212>xxxxxxx) - This dial plan allows US-style, 7-digit dialing and automatically inserts a 1 + 212 (local area code) in the transmitted number.

(<9,:>1xxxxxxxxxx|<8,:1212>xxxxxxx) - This dial plan requires a caller to dial 8 as a prefix for local calls and 9 as a prefix for long distance. In either case, an outside line tone is played after the initial 8 or 9, and neither prefix is transmitted when the call is initiated.

(*xx\[3469]11\0\00\[2-9]xxxxxx\1xxx[2-9]xxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxx.) - This dial plan permits these calls: arbitrary 2-digit star code calls, 311, 411, 611, 911, local operator calls, international operator calls, US local numbers, US 1 + 10-digit long distance number, and all other numbers.

Configuring Dial Plans for the Auto-Attendant

You can define the dial rule in the dial plan setting and then do the translation in the auto-attendant script. In this case, the dial plan can be very simple, like (1|2|3|4|5xxx) or (xxxx|*|#).

For example, the dial plan can be (|408555xxxx|xxxxx) or (<1:1002>|<2:21111>|<3:3333>|xxxxx). When the caller inputs some DTMF digits, the auto-attendant will parse them using the dial plan first, and then the parsing result will be fed into the auto-attendant script menu instruction. Each auto-attendant menu has a dial plan. You can define the dial rule in the settings, AA Dial Plan 1 and/or AA Dial Plan 2. Each auto-attendant dial plan setting has a matching ID, which can be used in auto-attendant XML scripting. For example, a user can specify dp1 to indicate AA Dial Plan 1.

Table 2: Auto-Attendant Dial Plans

Web-based Utility Setting Matching ID in Auto-Attendant Script
AA Dial Plan 1 dp1
AA Dial Plan 2 dp2

Configuring the Auto-Attendant

The auto-attendant (aa) is an internal service within the System. It plays pre-recorded voice messages that offer the caller a menu of choices, so the auto-attendant can appropriately direct the call. For example, a greeting could be, “Welcome to the abc company. For sales, press 1. For service, press 2. To speak to our operator, press 3.” (This custom greeting would have to be recorded using the Interactive Voice Response Menu.)

After the caller has made a choice, the call is routed to the appropriate extension, so the caller is connected to the correct party or presented with another menu of choices.

There are three auto-attendants available, one for daytime, one for nighttime, and one for weekends/holidays.

Internal Dial Plan

When the auto-attendant is enabled, it parses and operates on user input (key presses or DTMF tones) following the rules specified in the auto-attendant dial plan of the System. These rules are specified by the AA Dial Plan parameters found on the Voice - SIP screen of the Web-based Utility.

Parameters of the Auto-Attendant Feature

The following parameters are the minimum that must be configured.

  • Contact List. This is a list of clients that the System alerts when there is an incoming call on the line. The auto-attendant must be included on this list. By default, the auto-attendant is the only client on this list, so the auto-attendant will pick up every call. You can decide to have the auto-attendant pick up a call if a number (or group) of clients did not pick up the call first. This parameter is configured on the Voice - Line x (x is 1-4) screen of the Web-based Utility.
  • AA Script. The System lets you program the auto-attendant instructions using XML scripting grammar. These parameters, AA Scripts 1-3, are configured on the Voice - SIP screen of the Web-based Utility. Only one script is active at a time. Scripting is described in more detail below.
  • AA Dial Plan. The auto-attendant parses the user input according to one of the two parameters, AA Dial Plan 1 or 2. The AA Script includes a reference to one of these two dial plan parameters through the dial plan instruction. These parameters are configured on the Voice - SIP screen of the Web-based Utility.
  • DayTime AA Script. This defines which of the three scripts (AA script 1, 2, or 3) should be used for daytime hours. This parameter is configured on the Voice - SIP screen of the Web-based Utility.

Prompts for the Auto-Attendant

The auto-attendant prompts are configured through the Interactive Voice Response Menu. To access these settings, follow these instructions:

  1. Using one of the analog telephones connected to the System, press **** (in other words, press the star key four times).
  2. Wait until you hear “Linksys configuration menu. Please enter the option followed by the # (pound) key or hang up to exit.”
  3. Press 72255# to access the auto-attendant message settings.

Refer to “Chapter 5: Using the Interactive Voice Response Menu” for more details.

The System can store up to 94.5 seconds of audio, excluding the default messages (Prompts 1-4). The maximum length of any message is one minute. The recorded messages will be encoded with G711U and saved in flash memory. Status information for these messages is found in the Auto-Attendant Prompt Status section of the Voice - Info screen of the Web-based Utility.

Each message is internally referred to as Prompt x, x being a number ranging from 1 to 10. You can customize the default prompts and add six additional prompts. When you reset the System to its factory default settings, customized messages will be erased, and prompts 1-4 will be restored to their default messages:

Table 3: Default Auto-Attendant Prompts

Prompt ID Default Audio Message
1 “If you know your party’s extension, you may enter it now.”
2 “Your call has been forwarded.”
3 “Not a valid extension, please try again.”
4 “Goodbye.”

Customizing the Auto-Attendant

You have many parameters you can change to customize the auto-attendant. One of the most important parameters is the script, or set of instructions, that the auto-attendant executes when it is running. The next section will explain how to use XML scripting grammar.

The AA Scripts Parameters and XML Scripting

The System lets you use XML scripting grammar to define the auto-attendant instructions. You have a choice of three scripts, which are stored in the AA script 1-3 parameters on the Voice - SIP screen of the Web-based Utility. The instructions must be defined or encapsulated in a structure. You may have multiple structures within a script that the auto-attendant can transfer to, based on user input.

The XML scripting grammar supports two types of structures, node and menu. The main difference between the two types is that within the node type, user input cannot be processed—only actions may be specified. The format of the node type is as follows:

Appendix C: Dial Plan and Auto-Attendant Scripting for Advanced Users Configuring the Auto-Attendant

In the menu type, user input can be processed. It is processed according to the dial plan statement associated with the menu and defines what action the auto-attendant executes when the user input matches the dial plan. The format of the menu type is as follows:

The complete set of XML instructions are described in the following table:

Table 4: Auto-Attendant XML Instructions Set

Instruction Description Syntax and Example(s)
dialplan This determines the dialplan id of the current menu
. The auto-attendant will process the user input according to the dial plan and then will be dispatched to the match, nomatch, or noinput instruction.
“dp1” matches the AA Dial Plan 1 parameter found on the Voice - SIP screen of the Web-based Utility. “dp2” matches the AA Dial Plan 2 parameter found on the Voice - SIP screen of the Web-based Utility.
noinput When specified, the auto-attendant will execute the specified audio and action instructions if the user does not input any digits in seconds. If the repeat attribute is set to “T”, then the auto-attendant will play the menu prompt after playing the prompt specified in the audio instruction and ignore the action instruction; otherwise, the auto-attendant will execute the action instruction. By default, “repeat” is “F”.
nomatch When specified, the nomatch instruction runs when the user input digits do not match anything in the dial plan. The auto-attendant will execute the specified audio and action instructions. If the repeat attribute is set to “T”, the auto-attendant will play the menu prompt after playing the no input prompt and ignore the action instruction; otherwise, the auto-attendant will execute the action instruction. By default, “repeat” is “F”.

Table 4: Auto-Attendant XML Instructions Set

Instruction Description Syntax and Example(s)
match Upon a match between the user’s input and the dial plan, the auto-attendant will transfer to the corresponding and execute the corresponding audio and/or action instructions. If the auto-attendant cannot find a match in any of the statements, it will perform the case.
Action Instructions goto The auto-attendant will transfer the caller from one to the other . All s are identified by the attribute “id”. The value in the id attribute must be unique; otherwise, the auto-attendant will select the last valid as the transfer-to target. “daytime” is the id of a entry. Example:
xfer The auto-attendant will perform a blind transfer of the caller to the target, and then it will end processing “target = $input” is equivalent to the input value already passed by the dialplan. There is no significance to the name attribute.
exit When this action is reached, the auto-attendant will stop, and the call will be ended.
audio The auto-attendant will play the audio specified in the “src” attribute. This attribute must be prompt, with being a number in the range 1–10. When playing the audio, the auto-attendant will allow the caller to interrupt the current prompt by pressing digits if the bargein attribute is set to “T”. The auto-attendant will ignore any digits from the caller if the bargein attribute is set to “F” (the default value).

Additional Parameters for Customization

Additional parameters are available on the Voice - SIP screen of the Web-based Utility and described in the following table:

Table 5: Additional Auto-Attendant Configuration Parameters

Parameter Description Type
AA Dial Plan 1/2 This describes the dial plan rule that the auto-attendant will use in a particular . Str256
AA Script 1/2/3 There are three parameters for storing auto-attendant scripts. One option is to use these as different treatments for daytime hours, nighttime hours, and weekends/holidays. Str1024
Daytime AA Nighttime AA Weekend/Holiday AA Each parameters controls whether the corresponding auto-attendant service will be enabled or disabled. This parameter can also be manually controlled through the Interactive Voice Response Menu (code: 79228). Refer to “Chapter 5: Using the Interactive Voice Response Menu.” Bool
Daytime AA Script Nighttime AA Script Weekend/Holiday AA Script This parameter specifies which script will be used for a particular auto-attendant treatment. The choices are 1 for the AA script 1 setting, 2 for the AA script 2 setting, and 3 for the AA script 3 setting. Choice
DayTime Answer Delay NightTime Answer Delay Weekend/Holiday Delay Each auto-attendant service has a corresponding delay setting, which is the number of seconds you want the auto-attendant to wait before answering. By default, the DayTime Answer Delay setting is 12 seconds (the operator is given 12 seconds to answer the phone). The NightTime and Weekend/ Holiday Answer Delay settings are set to 0 (the auto-attendant will answer immediately). Number
Weekends/Holidays This parameter defines the dates of weekends and holidays.

Parameter Description Type
DayTime This parameter defines the daytime hours. (The other hours are considered nighttime hours.) Str64
Format:
start=hh:mm:ss;end=hh:mm:ss
The abbreviation hh stands for hours and uses the 24-hour format. The abbreviation mm stands for
minutes, and the abbreviation ss stands for seconds.
Example:
start=9:0:0;end=17:0:0
In this example, the start time is 9 AM and the end time is 5 PM. The other hours (5 PM to 9 AM) are
considered nighttime hours.
If you do not enter start and end times, then the whole day (24 hours) is considered as daytime, so the
nighttime auto-attendant will be disabled, even if the NightTime AA parameter is set to yes (enabled).

Example of a Typical Auto-Attendant Setup

This section will describe a typical auto-attendant. Here is the scenario:

An incoming call on Line 1 sequentially tries extensions 501, 503, and then 502. If the call is not answered, then the auto-attendant picks up the call. The auto-attendant announces prompts 5, 8, and 9 in sequence, and then waits up to 10 seconds for user input. If no input is received, then the call is forwarded to extension 501. If the user enters the following:

  • an invalid extension - Prompt 3 is played. Afterwards, the auto-attendant starts over again.
  • 1 - Prompts 7, 8, and then 9 are played. Afterwards, the auto-attendant starts over again.
    • 2 - The auto-attendant begins executing the SUPPORT form and starts playing prompt 10. The significant differences between the 2 forms are as follows:
      • The dial plan has been changed to the AA Dial Plan 2 parameter. This includes the * character (asterisk), which instructs the auto-attendant to resume with the “dt” form.
      • Prompt 10 is played every five seconds, until the user inputs an extension.
  • All other valid extensions (defined here to be 0, 3, 5xx, 8001) are forwarded to the associated client.

The following table lists the parameters for this example.

Appendix D: New Music for the Music-on-Hold Feature

Overview

The System provides a default internal music file for music-on-hold. This is the music file heard by callers when their calls are placed on hold or in the parking lot (call park feature). You can use a TFTP transfer to replace the default file with your own music file.

This appendix describes how to convert your music file to the appropriate format and then configure the System.

Before You Begin

Make sure you have the following for the computer you are using:

  • TFTP server software
  • a program to convert the music file (for example, MP3) to the raw G711u format
  • its local IP address You can use any TFTP server software and any music conversion program that supports the raw G711u format. To find the local IP address of this computer, follow these instructions:
  1. Click Start.
  2. Click Run.
  3. Enter cmd in the Open field, and click the OK button.
  4. At the prompt, enter ipconfig and press the Enter key.
  5. The local IP address of the computer will be displayed. Write it down; you will use it later.

Instructions for Converting the Music File

The System only supports the raw G711u format. Follow these instructions to convert your music file to the supported format:

  1. Open the music conversion program you use.
    1. Convert the music file to this format:
      • Raw Type - µ-Law
      • Frequency - 8 kHz
      • Bits per Sample - 8 Kps
      • Channels - Mono

The music file should be encoded in G711u format at 8000 samples/second. It should not contain any extra header information, and its maximum length is 65.536 seconds (524,288 bytes).

3. Save the converted music file to the TFTP filesystem root directory. This file must be saved in the root directory so the TFTP server can upload it to the System later.

Instructions for Configuring the IP Telephony System

Before you begin, make sure the TFTP server software is running on your computer.

  1. To access the Web-based Utility of the System, launch Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, and enter the System’s default local IP address, 192.168.0.1, in the Address field. Press the Enter key.
  2. You may be asked for your user name and password. Enter the user name. The default user name for administrative access is admin, and the default user name for user access is user. (These user names cannot be changed.) Then enter the password supplied by your Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP).
  3. Click the Voice tab.
  4. Click the SIP tab.
  5. In the PBX Parameters section, enter tftp://server_IP_address:port/path in the Internal Music URL field.

The server_IP_address is the local IP address of the computer you are using. The port is the port number used by the TFTP server; by default it is 69. The path indicates the location and name of the converted music file, which has been saved in the TFTP filesystem root directory.

For example, if the computer’s local IP address is 192.168.0.5, the directory is named rootdirectory, and the converted music file is named jazzmusic.dat, then tftp://192.168.0.5:69/rootdirectory/jazzmusic.dat should be entered in the Internal Music URL field. (The default port number, 69, is used.)

NOTE: Keep the default, imusic, in the Call Park MOH Server field, so the call park feature will use the music file you have downloaded (imusic is the internal music file of the System).

6. Click the Submit All Changes button.

  1. The System will reboot.
  2. After its reboot, the System will download the file and store the samples in flash memory.

Appendix E: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter

This section describes how to find the MAC address for your computer’s Ethernet adapter so you can use the MAC address cloning feature of the Router. You can also find the IP address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter. This IP address is used for the Router’s forwarding and/or DMZ features. Follow the steps in this appendix to find the adapter’s MAC or IP address in Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP.

Windows 98 or Me Instructions

  1. Click Start and Run. In the Open field, enter winipcfg. Then press the Enter key or the OK button.
  2. When the IP Configuration screen appears, select the Ethernet adapter you have connected to the Router via a CAT 5 Ethernet network cable.
  3. Write down the Adapter Address as shown on your computer screen. This is the MAC address for your Ethernet adapter and is shown as a series of numbers and letters.

The MAC address/Adapter Address is what you will use for MAC address cloning or MAC filtering. Figure E-1: IP Configuration Screen The example shows the Ethernet adapter’s IP address as 192.168.1.100. Your computer may show something different.

NOTE: The MAC address is also called the Adapter Address.

Windows 2000 or XP Instructions

  1. Click Start and Run. In the Open field, enter cmd. Press the Enter key or click the OK button. Figure E-2: MAC Address/Adapter
  2. At the command prompt, enter ipconfig /all. Then press the Enter key. Address
  3. Write down the Physical Address as shown on your computer screen; it is the MAC address for your Ethernet adapter. This appears as a series of numbers and letters.

The MAC address/Physical Address is what you will use for MAC address cloning or MAC filtering.

NOTE: The MAC address is also called the Physical Address.

The example shows the Ethernet adapter’s IP address as 192.168.1.100. Your computer may show something different.

For the Router’s Web-based Utility

For MAC address cloning, enter the 12-digit MAC address in the Cloned MAC Address field.

Appendix F: Windows Help

Almost all networking products require Microsoft Windows. Windows is the most used operating system in the world and comes with many features that help make networking easier. These features can be accessed through Windows Help and are described in this appendix.

TCP/IP

Before a computer can communicate with the Router, TCP/IP must be enabled. TCP/IP is a set of instructions, or protocol, all PCs follow to communicate over a wired or wireless network. Your PCs will not be able to utilize networking without having TCP/IP enabled. Windows Help provides complete instructions on enabling TCP/IP.

Shared Resources

If you wish to share printers, folders, or files over your network, Windows Help provides complete instructions on utilizing shared resources.

Network Neighborhood/My Network Places

Other PCs on your network will appear under Network Neighborhood or My Network Places (depending upon the version of Windows you're running). Windows Help provides complete instructions on adding PCs to your network.
