TIP

You can perform a self-test for echo and DTMF functionality by dialing 07777712125552665 from any SIP Account in the CommPeak Portal.

Using this special phone number is free of charge and available to all SIP clients.

Network Options

In Network Options, you can enable STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) that supports call connectivity and RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol). This feature ensures reliable call connections and high-quality audio transmission across different network environments, e.g., home, office, or mobile data.

  1. Slide the toggle to the right to enable STUN.
  2. For the Resolution timeout, define how long the standalone CommPeak Softphone should wait for a response from the STUN server when trying to determine its public IP and port. A typical value ranges between 1 and 3 seconds.
