Nokia N80 Registers SIP, places, and receives calls with CommuniGate Pro
21 Apr 2007 13:59
I have finally succeeded at
configuring my Nokia N80 mobile phone to register with
CommuniGate Pro. It is nice to walk into any place I have WiFi
access and bring my CommuniGate Pro PBX extension with me. I then
always have the option of using wither my mobile or cellular line
or the office line to place calls. The Phone's Internet Call
features work great with CommuniGate. I will explain step by step
how I finally got this to work. If you decide to do this, please do
this at your own risk. I cannot guarantee that firmware will not
brick your phone or that you will not be a victim of fraud on
eBay.
The version of the phone's firmware that works for me is V 4.0632.0.38 13-10-2006 RM-92 Nokia N80 (01).
Here are some screen shots of the configuration screens.
To configure the phone begin by navigating your Applications button to Tools -> Settings -> Connection
When you arrive at the Connection Screen you should Configure a valid IP Access Point. I configured a WIFI access point for SIP.
Once you have a valid Access Point configured and tested, you can enter SIP Settings and add a new SIP profile.
Name your Profile as you please and note the settings I have selected in the following screen images. Set your SIP address URL as the Public user name and decide if you want the phone to always register or register only when needed. If you select 'When Needed' then you will only be able to make SIP calls and not receive them. With always on inbound SIP signals arrive at your mobile phone. I do not use a Proxy server as the Registrar server is my proxy and handles all of the NAT traversal and SBC features I need. Therefore I only configured the Registrar server.
My Registrar server settings are:
After Configuring these settings I click back and wait a few moments as the phone brings up the WiFi connection and then the SIP registration. If you are successful, you will be rewarded with a registered message under your profile name:
Before Calling with SIP I must configure the Internet tel. Settings from the Connections configuration page only to make my SIP profile the default Internet Telephone service.
When the Phone is successfully Registered with your SIP account you will see a small icon under the battery charge indicator bar which resembles a phone handset over the an icon of the Earth.
To call our PBX I dialed 200 and selected Options -> Internet Call. This placed the call with excellent audio quality and a different phone handset+globe icon while the call is active.
I then received a SIP call from another User (who had Caller ID off) on the company PBX and another who had their caller ID configured:
Then a PSTN caller called through our T1 Gateway to the CommuniGate Pro PBX:
CommuniGate Pro will show the phone's registration under the accounts Status page:
- First get a Nokia N80. Places like craigslist and eBay have them for sale and prices are dropping since the Nokia N95 has been released.
- Get your N80 Flashed with the Internet Edition version of the Firmware if it does not have it already. A reliable service for me was iUnlock.
- Configure a WiFi Access Point or multiple WiFi Access points on your phone
- Configure your phone to use your CommuniGate Pro account for SIP
