BlasterPhone supports both SIP and an H.323 protocols which means you can use any VoIP hardware device available in the market such as ATA (Analog Telephone Adaptor), IP Phone, Wireless VoIP, Gateway, IP PBX, etc.

Exact configuration depends on your VoIP hardware device as well as local network, type of Internet connection, etc. however there are some recommended settings. The configuration suggestion below presumes you are using Linksys PAP2 with ADSL Internet connection behind NAT and with DHCP enabled.

Another important thing is to configure correctly your router/firewall so that it allows connection between your VoIP hardware device and our SIP Proxy Server. There are normally 2 options:

• If you are using Static, public or internal IP you should open UDP/TCP Ports 5060 and 5061 in your Port Range Forwarding router/firewall section for the IP of your VoIP hardware device.
• If you are using DHCP (Dynamic internal IP) you should open UDP/TCP Ports 5060 and 5061 for the IP of your router or gateway.

Please note that those are general suggestions. We can’t help you to solve local network problems neither we provide support on router/firewall configuration. If you have troubles setting up your router/firewall please contact their manufacturer or vendor support, or talk to your network administrator.

The above settings work perfectly in most cases and with most of the VoIP ATAs available in the market such as Linksys PAP2, Sipura, Grandstream HandyTone, etc. however if you experience any connection or call quality problems please contact us for support.

If you are using a hardware device which has different configuration fields please get in touch with us and we’ll help you set it up correctly.
