2 Step 1 - Firewall If you are using VoIP in an office then your business will probably have a firewall installed for security purposes. In order to access the Timico VoIP for Business platform through a firewall a number of outbound rules and traffic prioritisations need to be created as per the table below. You may need to contact your Technical Department to do this for you. TIMICO VOIP FOR BUSINESS FIREWALL SETTINGS Src IP Src Port Dst IP Dst Port Type QoS Priority Use Any UDP Assured Forwarding Sip Signalling Any / UDP Assured Forwarding i200x Signalling Any / UDP Best Effort i200x Firmware download Any > /29 80 TCP Best Effort Web Client, Personal agent HTTP Any > /28 40,000-60,000 UDP Expedited Forwarding RTP media Any > /28 80 and 443 TCP Best Effort Web Collab (HTTP) The Timico VoIP for Business solution does not require the opening up of any ports on your firewall for inbound traffic. All inbound traffic will go through firewall sessions that are established from the inside. You should also check that your firewall is not SIP aware. This means the firewall will open and close RTP ports dynamically based on the IP and port embedded in the SDP payload of the SIP message. SIP aware firewalls are sensitive to implementation details of the SIP protocol. MCS SIP messages may be inappropriately dropped due to implementation incompatibilities. To prevent problems, disable SIP processing on the firewall (both TCP and UDP). Finally, customers should disable any content or virus filtering in place for these policies as this can impair the correct performance of the system. Page 2 of tcs@timico.co.uk

3 Step 2 VoIP Hardware All users of the Timico VoIP for Business use the PC Client which is the software installed on your PC to run the VoIP service. When using the service to communicate, you can use any of the following four options: 1. Using the PC Client together with a VoIP desk phone 2. Using the PC Client only, with the built-in microphone and speakers on your PC 3. Using the PC Client with a headset 4. Using the PC Client with a VoIP phone adaptor Option 2.1 VoIP desk phone The quick reference user guide appropriate to the model of your phone needs to be read thoroughly before installation. The guide will tell you where and how to install the phone and connect it to your computer. To download the i2002 and i2004 quick reference user guides, click here to login to the VoIP for Business customer downloads section. There is also a more detailed manual available for each model of phone should you need it for reference in the future. Please note that it is essential to follow the installation guide so you can install your phone correctly, failure to do so can result in the manufacturer s warranty being invalid. Option 2.2 Built-in Some laptops and computers already have built-in microphones and speakers, so no installation of hardware will be required and you can move on to step 3. Option 2.3 Headset You can use a headset by plugging it in to the laptop or PC using the USB port. Option 2.4 VoIP phone adaptor If you have a standard analogue desk phone you can purchase a VoIP adaptor and connect it in to a LAN port on your router. If you have ordered an adaptor, it will have come to you pre-configured by Timico. Please refer to page 2 of the Linksys quick installation guide supplied with your adaptor for more details on how to connect it up. Page 3 of tcs@timico.co.uk

Furthermore, as each IP phone has a unique ID called a MAC code, you can enter a specific phone s MAC code against a location so that you do not need to change the MAC code when you log in at different sites e.g. office and home. The phone must be connected to the Ethernet port of the PC or both the phone and PC must be connected to the same Ethernet local network. If you experience problems linking the PC Client with the phone, try these steps: Disable wireless Log off and close the PC Client and then restart it When using the PC Client over a private VPN: o o Home users often have a local private network, where components share the single connection into the Internet. Devices connected on the private network typically have a private, locally defined IP address. The Multimedia PC Client is able to perform Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) when it controls an i2002 or i2004 Internet telephone on such a private network. It allows an i2002 or i2004 Internet telephone to be used for voice communication without requiring a separate public IP address for the i2002 or i2004 device. From home, with one public IP address (your PC); you are able to make and receive calls through the i2002 or i2004 Internet telephone to your network with this option set. To enable the Multimedia PC Client NAPT functionality, select the routes voice to/from i200x check box in the Preferences window (Tools > Preferences > i200x). For office use, the routes voice to/from i200x check box should be left unchecked. Page 9 of tcs@timico.co.uk

14 Step 6 Routes Routing via the Personal Agent solves the problem of having different contact numbers for different communication devices (office phone, home phone, mobile). Basic call screening allows you to choose a default route for all incoming calls and to block any anonymous callers. By default, the Client into which a converged desktop user is logged and the user s Preferred Audio Device (PAD) which is normally the PC Client, will be notified or ring. The manner in which your voic is set up will determine how voic is handled. When a converged desktop user creates a new route, other than the default, the user must add ring my client to the ring list if the user wants the PAD to ring. If not, the PAD will not ring. Advanced screening and routing rules allow users the greatest flexibility to direct incoming calls. Advanced routing allows you to program a ring list to: Ring several devices at once (simultaneous) Ring different devices in a specific order (sequential) Automatically send a web page or request for an to a caller Send an IM Advanced screening allows you to specify rules based on the time of day and who is calling and apply them to a ring list. To set up a new route follow the on screen wizard as follows: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 You can specify exactly which callers can call you and when and how their calls are routed.
