CallerID

A CallerID consists of two parts: Name and Number. The "Number" part is transferred by default by all technologies (GSM, PSTN, SIP, etc), but the "Name" part is transferred only by some. The number you see on your mobile phone when someone is calling you is the "Number" part.

• Name – the "Name" part of the CallerID.
• Number – the "Number" part of the CallerID. Only numerical values can be entered in this field.

NOTE: if you leave these fields empty, the user can set the CallerID name by himself. Usually, it is not advisable to allow the user to do it on his own. If the CallerID number field is empty, the system will take the device username as the CallerID number (if the device is username/password authenticated).

• Random Number from Number Pool – This functionality gives you the ability to send different caller numbers on each Call. More information: Number Pool.

• Unknown - This option lets you set the CallerID number to unknown.

Codecs

Choose the codecs your provider uses.

NOTES:

• If the Provider and the Device do not have similar codecs, no call can be established.

Advanced

• Grace Time - if the call duration is less than Grace Time, it will not be accounted.
• Accept calls from any port – ignore the port number where the request came from.

• Custom SIP Header - adds custom header to SIP request. Format is header: value (for example x-My-Custom-Header: my value)

• Limit up to (number) calls, during (number) seconds – allows setting calls per second limit in some period.

• Disconnect Code Changes – This functionality lets you change one Hangup Cause Code into another. More information: Disconnect Code Changes.

• Ignore SIP 183 without SDP - SIP 183 (session progress) without SDP causes a fake ring to be sent to the originator. This setting allows us to ignore SIP 183 without SDP and avoid fake rings.
