Configuration guide Linphone® App for Android® and iOS (with Linphone® Free SIP Service)
This configuration guide describes how to set up the Linphone® app on a smartphone and how to automatically display the Behnke Station's video on calls. We assume that you already installed the app on your mobile device and we only describe how to register the app with the Linphone® Free SIP Service and how to set up the video display. We assume that you have already created a Linphone® account for the app and that the Behnke station has already been registered with the Linphone® Free SIP Service. A configuration guide on how to register the Behnke station with the Linphone® Free SIP Service can be found via the following link: Linphone® Free SIP Service.
1. Configuring the App
-
Install the Linphone® app via Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
-
Start the Linphone® app on your smartphone. Check **"I accept Belledonne Communications' terms of use and privacy policy"** and tap "Use Linphone® Account".
-
Then enter the phone number associated with your Linphone® account and confirm the registration with the code that will be sent to you via SMS. Alternatively, you can select the "Use username and password instead of phone number" option. In this case, loggin in with your user name and the corresponding password is required.
-
Then open the menu using the button at the top left corner.
-
Tap "Settings".
-
Select "Video".
-
Android®: Enable "Accept incoming video requests".
iOS: Enable "Start automatically", "Accept automatically" and "Show preview".
-
The app's configuration is now complete. If your Behnke Station has a USB camera or an IP camera integrated as a system camera, you can now trigger SIP video calls from the Behnke Station to the Linphone® app. Via following link you can find a configuration guide for the Behnke Station with the Linphone® Free SIP Service: Linphone® Free SIP Service.
2. Direct SIP calls (for usage without PBX)
It is possible to use the Behnke Station and the Linphone® app without a PBX or the Linphone® SIP service.
In this case, you can simply trigger a direct IP call from the Behnke Station to the Linphone® app. To set up the direct call, you need the IP address of your smartphone and the SIP port number of the Linphone® app on your smartphone. The steps shown above for registering with the Linphone® Free SIP Service then no longer apply (apart from setting up the video display). It should be ensured that the IP address of the smartphone does not change later on. So if you are using a DHCP server with your Wifi, please always assign the same IP address to the smartphone. Alternatively, simply assign a static IP address in the smartphone's settings itself. You can specify the SIP port number of the Linphone® app in the app settings by tapping on "Network" and deactivating the option "Use random ports". Port number "5060" is then used by default. You can change it if necessary.
How to set up a direct call at the Behnke Station is described in the following configuration guide: Direct SIP calls (for usage without PBX).
To call the Linphone® app, enter sip:<IP address of the smartphone>:<SIP port of the Linphone® app> in the Behnke Station. E.g.: sip:192.168.178.86:37775. If the Linphone® app uses the port number 5060, the port number can be omitted here.
If you want to call the Behnke Station from the Linphone® app, simply dial sip:<IP address of the Behnke station> in the app. For example sip:192.168.178.7. If necessary, also enter the SIP port number of the Behnke Station if it is using a port number other than 5060.
