Enable TLS & STUN
-
TLS is Transport Layer Security - a security function.
- By default, our system will use UDP & TCP (TCP and UDP are the most commonly used connection protocols for data travel on the Internet).
- However, if your device supports TLS to enable e-commerce transaction security on the Web, which requires encryption to protect customers’ personal data, as well as authentication and integrity guarantees to ensure a safe transaction, you can enable TLS function on the Bizphone portal so that whenever you make/receive calls, TLS will encrypt them to secure the connection. The call will not be captured by anybody in the system environment.
- STUN:
- A STUN (Session Traversal of User Datagram Protocol [UDP] through Network Address Translators [NATs]) server allows NAT clients (i.e. IP Phones behind a firewall) to set up phone calls to a VoIP provider hosted outside of the local network.
- The STUN server allows clients to find out their public address, the type of NAT they are behind, and the Internet side port associated by the NAT with a particular local port. This information is used to set up UDP communication between the client and the VoIP provider to establish a call.
4. Incoming call device
Note:
Users must have the appropriate License to set up Activated devices in order to receive incoming calls.
- User can receive incoming calls through:
- IP Phone
- Bizphone Mobile App
- Bizphone Desktop App
- Calls can also be forwarded to:
- To a Number or Extension
- *VIP list: The incoming calls from this list will not be forwarded.
- In case, the extension is mapped to a Bizphone Gateway, all incoming calls will be directed to the SIP account.
Note:
- If the number is assigned to a Call Group, only one number can be added when configuring call forwarding.
- If an Extension forwards to a Call Group by Group Key, only one Extension Group Key can be added.
- These restrictions only apply to newly created extensions.
Ring Devices
User can receive incoming calls through:
- IP Phone
- Bizphone Mobile App
- Bizphone Desktop App
-
Note:
- For Normal extension, users can simultaneously set incoming calls to ring up to 3 devices.
- If the User is added to a Call Group, you can only set incoming calls to ring 1 device.
- If the User is a Contact Center Extension, you can only set incoming calls to ring 1 device.
- If the user only has one activated device then by default only that device will be rung.
- If the user has more than one activated device, then the default device will be the last answered incoming and outgoing device.
- If the user is a Contact Center Extension, then the default Primary Device will be as configured.
- If the user only has one activated device then by default only that device will be rung.
- If the user has more than one activated device, then by default the incoming calls will follow this priority IP Phone > Mobile > Desktop (unless configured otherwise)

Call Forwarding
- All of the incoming calls will be forwarded to 1 phone number and/or multiple extensions.
- When the user keys in more than 1 Number, display a message: "Maximum 1 Phone Number."
- When call forwarding is enabled, you won't receive calls on any of your activated devices.
-
VIP list: the incoming calls from phone numbers and/or extensions in this list won't be forwarded. Those devices enabled before this Call Forwarding function was activated will receive those calls.
- Use case: Calls are currently received via IP Phone and Mobile App on Ext 100. Now she only wants to receive calls from +6531234567 & +6569876543. All other incoming calls will be directed to extensions 101, 102 and 103.
- Setup Guide:
- Turn on Call Forwarding
- Turn on To extensions: add ext 101, 102, 103 to forward all the calls to them.
- Turn on VIP list: add +6531234567 & +6569876543
- Save change
- Now calls from +6531234567 & +6569876543 will go directly to ext 100's IP Phone & Mobile App. All other incoming calls will be forwarded to ext 101, 102 and 103.
-
VIP list: the incoming calls from phone numbers and/or extensions in this list won't be forwarded. Those devices enabled before this Call Forwarding function was activated will receive those calls.
