Extensions Management - SIP Remote Extension Settings Help

SIP Remote Extension functionality is an advanced telephony feature. This allows Quadro users to remotely operate Quadro. Users need to register a hardware or software SIP phone on the Quadro by defining the Quadro's global IP address and an appropriate Username/Password. A registered SIP Remote phone can act fully as a phone connected locally to Quadro, i.e. it can use Quadro's PBX features, place and receive calls, access voice mails, etc.

The SIP Remote Extension Settings consists of the following componenst:

• The Enable checkbox activates the SIP Remote Extension's functionality.

Note: SIP Remote Extension functionality may be enabled only for active (attached to an onboard FXS or IP line) extensions.
• Identification parameters used by the remote SIP device for registration on the Quadro should be defined in the Username and Password text fields. User can get the high security level password from Quadro using the Generate Password button.
• Line Appearance text field requires a number of simultaneous calls supported by the SIP phone.
• When the Enable RTP Proxy checkbox is selected, incoming and outgoing RTP streams to and from the remote SIP phone will be routed through Quadro. When the checkbox is not selected, RTP packets will be moving directly between peers.
• When the Fallback To Local Extension When Not Registered checkbox is selected, incoming calls towards the corresponding extension on the Quadro will be forwarded to the remote SIP phone only if it is registered. Otherwise, when the remote SIP phone is unregistered, incoming calls will be routed to the line extension is attached to. When this checkbox is not selected, all incoming calls will be routed to the remote SIP phone only if it is registered. Otherwise, if the remote SIP phone is unregistered, calls will be forwarded to the extension's voice mailbox.
• The Symmetric RTP checkbox should be selected when the remote extension is located behind the symmetrical NAT.
• The Show Hot Desking Settings and Hide Hot Desking Settings links are correspondingly used to show or hide the Hot Desking settings on this page.
• The Enable Hot Desking Capability checkbox is used to enable the Hot Desking feature on the corresponding remote extension.
• The Hot Desking Automatic Logout section is used to configure Hot Desking functionality expiration on the corresponding extension. This may be useful when someone who logged in to the public phone with this extension forgot to log out after using it. With this option enabled, once the expiration time arrives, the extension will automatically log out from the public phone. The following options are available:
  • Never - the extension will never expire and will remain logged in to the public phone.
  • After the defined period of time - requires the period after which the extension will automatically log out from the public phone.
  • At the certain moment - requires the moment (hour and minute) when the extension will automatically log out from the public phone.
