Gateway Voiceblue
Voiceblue Next is a VoIP gateway developed by 2N, that can be used either with a local installation of Verboice, or with a cloud instance.
To configure it to use with a local Verboice running in the same network as the Voiceblue, follow the steps below.
Create a new SIP Client channel in Verboice, with the following settings:
- Username and password: blank
- Number : 1234 (it can be anything but the same number must be used later)
- Limit : number of sim cards installed
- Domain: IP to the Voiceblue appliance, 192.168.1.2 by default
- Direction: both
- Register: unchecked
Voiceblue admin panel can be accessed by opening a browser and navigating to the Voiceblue's local IP, http://192.168.1.2 by default. The default user is Admin and default password is 2n.
Once in the admin interface, navigate to Gateway Configuration, VoIP Parameters, and set:
- SIP proxy (IP->GSM): Local IP to Verboice
- SIP proxy (GSM->IP): Local IP to Verboice
Note that you should ensure that your Verboice server has a static IP, otherwise you'll need to change this setting every time the IP changes.
The configuration above is enough if you just want to make calls using the Voiceblue appliance. If you also want to receive calls, go to Gateway Configuration, GSM incoming groups in the configuration menu and set:
- Mode: Accept incoming calls + dial tone
- Minimum digits in DTMF: 0
- Maximum digits in DTMF: 0
- DTMF dialing timeout: 0
- List of called numbers (bottom of the page) : Enter "1234" and click Add
Note that depending on the firmware version you are using, you may also need to configure GSM groups assignment, and ensure the incoming group you have just configured is mapped to the module you'll be using.
To configure your Voiceblue to work with verboice.instedd.org or another cloud server:
Create a new SIP Server channel in Verboice, with the following settings:
- Password: Any password of your choice
- Number : 1234 (it can be anything but the same number must be used later)
- Limit : number of sim cards installed
- Direction: both
After creating the channel, open it, go to settings, and take note of the username field, which will look like verboice_123.
Voiceblue admin panel can be accessed by opening a browser and navigating to the Voiceblue's local IP, http://192.168.1.2 by default. The default user is Admin and default password is 2n.
Once in the admin interface, navigate to Gateway Configuration, VoIP Parameters, and set:
- Registration domain: verboice.instedd.org
- Caller ID: the username you had copied from the Verboice channel
- Username: same as above
- Password: the password you had specified when creating the channel
- SIP proxy (IP->GSM): IP to Verboice server
- SIP proxy (GSM->IP): IP to Verboice server
- SIP registrar: IP to Verboice server
You can check the IP to the Verboice server by running ping verboice.instedd.org in a terminal, and copying the IP.
Note that if your Voiceblue is not directly connected to the internet, you might need to specify a STUN Server in the same page. Choose any public STUN server, such as 64.233.186.127:19302 for this field.
If the configuration is correct, you should see that the Gateway shows as Registered in the SIP registration section at Gateway Control.
To receive calls via the Voiceblue, follow the same procedure as described above in the Receiving calls subsection of the With a local Verboice installation section of this document.
- On certain scenarios, we have identified issues with digit detection. The suggested steps are to upgrade the Voiceblue firmware to the latest version, set the input and output audio gain to +3 in GSM Basic Parameters, and uncheck all items from the Cinterion Modules Settings.
