[Linphone-users] linphonerc

[adam]

hi,

I am back onto getting some docs done for linphone. At the moment i am 
working on the linphonerc again and I have the following :

[NET] 
All seetings regarding the local network go here, this includes the speed 
of the connection and the IP number of the NAT should there be one. 

con_type
It's a setting to tell linphone how much bandwidth it can use:
0=analog 28k modem
1=56k modem
2=128 modem
3=minimum adsl modem
4=unlimited (ethernet)

use_nat
0=dont use the NAT setting
1=use the NAT setting

nat_address
put the IP number of NAT here

download_bw
?

upload_bw 
?

use_stun
STUN is used by Linphone for traversing NAT routers. STUN stands for 
Simple Traversal of UDP through NATs (Network Address Translation).  
Linphone can be a STUN client, in which case it will send a request to an 
external STUN server. The STUN server then tells Linphone the public IP 
address of the NAT router. It also reports to Linphone which port was 
opened by the NAT device for incoming traffic. Linphone then uses this 
information for connecting with a VoIP server or other softphones. 

0=use STUN
1= don't use STUN 


[SIP]
All details regarding your SIP configuration go here.  SIP has two kinds 
of addresses:
1.  SIP Adress of Record (AOR). This is the address people use to call 
you, the format looks like an email address.
2.  SIP Contact Adress is the temporary address and is determined by what 
IP address you currently have, the device name, and the port number you 
are using for SIP. This address is usually temporary and stored in memory. 
When you register with a SIP server, the server maps this address onto 
your SIP Adress of Record (AOR).  

sip_port
The port on your computer that is used for SIP traffic (default is 5060)

guess_hostname
0=don't guess the hostname of your computer
1=guess the hostname of your computer (use this if you don't know it)

contact
put here the SIP Address of Record for your account. The format should be:
sip:address@hidden  

inc_timeout
?

use_info
0 = dont use sip info messages for DTMFs
1 = use use sip info messages for DTMFs

use_ipv6
Essentially there are not enough IP Addresses. An IP Address is the group 
of numbers that identifies you on the internet, they look something like 
this : "192.168.0.123". Because there are not enough combinations of these 
number groups to account for every device that needs to connect to the 
internet a new way of addressing is being developed, this is called 
"IPv6".  An IPv6 address might look something like this : 
"E2D6:0000:0000:0000:01B4:7BD8:D0A3:1220"

If you are in a IPV6 network then you can use these addresses instead of 
the more common IPV4
0 = dont use ipv6
1 = use ipv6

default_proxy
Linphone has a section in the config file for storing different 
registration server information. These are numbered (starting at zero). 
Put the number here for the index of the registration setting you wish to 
use.




anyone know what the following config options refer to:
inc_timeout (in [SIP]) 
download_bw (in [NET])
upload_bw  (in [NET])


any suggestions welcome.

kind regards,
adam
