Public SIP Account |
|
|
Introduction
SIP is one of the most popular Internet Telephony (or Voice over IP) protocols
around.
OZtell provides a public SIP account for anyone to use WITHOUT having them to
have SIP account of any sort in order to make an SIP phone call.
A good way to try out the public SIP account is to download free Internet
Phone software on your computer. Here we use a very popular free
Internet Phone software called X-Lite as an example, but the process and setting up
can be applied to all SIP based Internet Phones.
You can be talking through X-Lite (or any other compatible SIP device) in just
a few minutes by following the 4 steps below:
1. Set Up SIP Account
1.1 Non OZtell Customers
If you are NOT an OZtell customer, you can STILL follow the instructions
below to set up SIP software on your computer in order to call OZtell customers.
Simply skip step 1 and go straight to step 2
to download the X-Lite software.
Note: since you are not an OZtell customers, you can only use this
accoun to call OZtell customers and no one else. if you want to become an OZtell
customer so you can call any phone numbers (instead of just OZtell customers),
then please Click HERE
to apply.
Once you have joined, you will receive your OZnumber and PIN (send
to you after your initial payment) and you can proceed as an OZtell Customer.
1.2 OZtell Customers
All OZtell Telephone Services contain SIP accounts.
The difference is whether you want to make outgoing calls only or you want to be
able to receive calls as well.
With the Iron Service you can only make outgoing calls
and you do NOT have your own individual SIP account. You have to use the OZtell
public sip account (which is "1") in order to make call from a SIP phone.
With other services (Bronze Service and
Silver Service)
you can make both incoming and outgoing calls, since you will get your
own individual SIP account.

7. Web Button
- Information
Web Button is a quick way of making phone calls to
OZtell customers using a computer rather than a phone! You
do not need to configure any software, just call and talk straight
from your web browser!
Assuming you have Internet connection already, you can be
ANYWHERE in the world and the call is absolutely FREE!
You do not even have to pay for a local call and can talk as
long as you like whether you are at an Internet cafe, a hotel room
or your home.
While web button is much more convenient than Internet Phone software
since there is NO manual download or software configuration. It does
have some limitations:
- Works on MS Windows Platforms only.
- Works on public IP addresses only (not computers behind a NAT or a firewall)
- Works on Microsoft and Mozilla based browsers only.
- Usage
1. Click on the 'Talk' button below (the button will dial our office number)
2. Select the language
3. Follow the voice prompt
Note: You need to have a multimedia PC running MS Windows in order to use the Web Button.
- Download
Your Web Browser should AUTOMATICALLY download the Web Button plug-in when you click on the web button on a web page.
If it fails to do so, you can download the plug-in yourself by Clicking HERE. And then just run it and your web browser will pick it up.
System Requirements
- Pentium 100 MHz PC computer with 64 MB RAM or higher.
- Windows 98 or higher.
- An Internet connection (LAN or modem, minimum 33Kbps).
- Multimedia equipment: microphone and speakers or headphones or a head set.
- Windows-compatible sound card.
Note: A full-duplex sound card is required for full-duplex mode (in full-duplex mode both parties can speak, as with a normal telephone; in half-duplex mode, each side must take turns in speaking).
- One of the following browsers:
- Netscape Navigator 3.x or higher
- Netscape Communicator 4.0 or higher
- Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.02 or higher
- Usage-tips
These are some of the steps you can take to improve the performance of your Web Button connection:
Your Computer
- Make sure that your microphone and speakers are working before you try to troubleshoot Web Button. A lot of times the problem is with the local PC set up and not Web Button.
- Check if your microphone is plugged in and turned on.
- Some sound cards have two connectors for the microphone, a "line-in" connector and a "microphone" connector. Make sure that the microphone is only plugged into the "microphone" connector.
- Check if your speakers are plugged in, turned on, if they have their own volume control that the volume level is high enough.
- Check no other program is using the sound card by opening the windows task manager.
- Try to run as few other programs on your PC as possible as both foreground and background programs might affect voice quality.
- Make sure the microphone and speakers are set up properly.
- Steps: Check your windows taskbar and see if you have a yellow speaker icon on the bottom right next to your time clock. If you see it, go to the next paragraph. If you do not see it, double click on My Computer -> Control Panel -> Multimedia. In "Multimedia," make sure that the "Show volume control on the task bar" option is checked. Click on "OK". Once you do that, you should see a yellow Speaker icon appear on the bottom right hand corner of your computer next to your clock.
- Double click on the yellow speaker icon. When the "volume controller" window comes up, make sure that none of the options are muted. Click on the "Options" pull down menu and select "Properties". A new window called "Properties" will pop up.
- Firstly, in the "Adjust Volume for" section make sure the radio sign is on "Playback" and look at "Show the following volume control list". In this section, make sure that "Wave" and "Volume Control" are checked. And the volumes are set at the right levels. You should uncheck all the other options.
- Secondly, switch the radio button to "Recording". Look at the "Show the following volume control list" and make sure you ONLY have "Microphone" checked and then click "OK". This will bring up a new window called "Recording". In the "Recording" window, make sure you have the box under the "Microphone Balance" option checked and the volume is set at the right level.
- Set microphone sensitivity (recording volume) and speaker volume (wave volume) to just high enough for use but as low as possible. Steps: Again double click on the My Computer -> Control Panel -> Multimedia. Under the "Audio" tab you will see 2 volume controllers, one for wave or playback, and the other for recording. Please adjust those to the lowest proper level.
- This should not be necessary given Web Button's advanced echo cancellation. But if echo is really bad, you can control it manually by using the microphone MUTE button. Click on mute when you are not talking during the call and releasing it when you talk.
Your ISP
- Select a good ISP with good performance. Do a few pings to test your ISP at different times. Or, use an OZtell-recommended ISP in your area.
- If there is no good performing ISP where you are, try placing your calls during low traffic times.
- Check that your connection to your ISP is stable and fast (at least 28.8K)
Note: Web Button may not work if you are behind a firewall or use a private IP address.
