Working with FortiVoice profiles

The Phone System > Profile tab lets you create user privileges and SIP profiles for configuring extensions and SIP trunks. It also allows you to modify caller IDs, schedule the FortiVoice unit, and configure phone profiles.

This topic includes:

Configuring SIP profiles

Configure the common SIP settings that can be applied to every SIP trunk and SIP device in your network.

Note

Communicate with your VoIP service provider because the profile settings are subject to the capabilities of the VoIP service provider. For example, if some of your features and codecs are not supported by your VoIP service provider, they will not work even if they are enabled or selected in the SIP profile.

The default SIP profiles can be edited but cannot be deleted.

For information on extensions, see Configuring extensions.

For information on SIP trunks, see Configuring trunks.

To configure a SIP profile

  1. Go to Phone System > Profile > SIP and click New.
  2. Select the SIP profile type.
  3. Configure the following:

    GUI field

    Description

    Name

    Enter a name for this profile.

    DTMF

    Select the dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) method used by the VoIP provider. Options are RFC2833, Inband, and Info.

    Keep alive

    Enter the time interval in seconds for the FortiVoice unit to talk to the SIP server of your service provider to keep the connectivity and check its capability.
    0 means no checking by the FortiVoice unit.

    NAT

    Select if the VoIP service provider supports SIP NAT translation.

    T.38

    Select if the VoIP service provider supports fax over VoIP network. This option is not available for every profile type.

    Transport

    Transport: SIP commonly uses TCP or UDP port 5060 and/or 5061. Port 5060 is used for non-encrypted SIP signaling sessions and port 5061 is typically used for SIP sessions encrypted with Transport Layer Security (TLS).

    Enable the protocols as required.

    This option, if applied to a user, overrides the system-wide transport settings. For more information, see Configuring SIP settings.

    Secure RTP: Select to provide encryption, message authentication and integrity, and replay protection to the FortiVoice Real-time Transport Protocol data. This option is not available for every profile type.

    Codec

    Select the codecs supported by the VoIP service provider. Among the selected ones, choose the preferred one for the VoIP provider. The preferred codec is usually the most used one in your area and provides the best quality of communication.

    If your preferred codec is different from that of your VoIP service provider, the service provider’s codec will be used as long as it is one of your supported codecs.

  4. Click Create.

Modifying caller IDs

You can change the phone number, caller’s name, or both that will appear on the destination phone.

Caller ID modifications are used when configuring dial plans. For more information, see Configuring call routing.

To modify a caller ID

  1. Go to Phone System > Profile > Caller ID Modification.
  2. Click New and configure the following:

    GUI field

    Description

    Name

    Enter the name for this caller ID modification record.

    Match number

    Enter the extension number or number pattern you want to modify.

    For example, you can enter 8134 to modify a single extension, or 81xx to modify all the four-digit numbers starting with 81.

    Number Modification

    If you have entered a number or number pattern in Match number field, configure the following values to modify it:

    • Strip: Enter a number to hide the starting part of an extension from displaying. 0 means no action.
    • For example, if your Match number is 8134 and Strip is 2, only 34 will be displayed as caller ID.

    • Truncate: Enter a number to hide the ending part of an extension from displaying. 0 means no action.
    • For example, if your Match number is 8134 and Truncate is 2, only 81 will be displayed as caller ID.

    • Prefix: Add a number before an extension.
    • For example, if your Match number is 8134 and Prefix is 5, the caller ID will be 58134.

    • Postfix: Add a number after an extension.
    • For example, if your Match number is 8134 and Postfix is 5, the caller ID will be 81345.

    Match option

    Select the way to match a call with caller name and number in order to modify call number or caller ID.

    • Match Number or Name: If the number is matched, modifications will be done based on Number Modification configuration. If the name is matched, modifications will be done based on Map to new caller ID name configuration.
    • Match Number then Name: If the number is matched, modifications will be done based on Number Modification configuration. If both the number and name are matched, modifications will be done based on Map to new caller ID name configuration.
    • Match Name then Number: If the Name is matched, modification will be done based on Map to new caller ID name configuration. If both the name and number are matched, modifications will be done based on Number Modification configuration.
    • Match Number and Name: If both the number and name are matched, modifications will be done based on Number Modification and Map to new caller ID name configurations.

    Match caller ID name

    Enter the caller ID that you want to map to another one.

    Caller IDs are created when configuring SIP extensions. See Configuring IP extensions.

    Map to new caller ID name

    Enter the new caller ID name that you want to map to the one entered in the Match caller ID name field.

    Block caller ID

    Select to stop your caller ID from displaying on the destination phone.

  3. Click Create.

Mapping a group of extensions to a caller ID name

If you want to map a group of extensions to a caller ID name, you can use the pattern for the extensions to do so.

For example, if you have a technical support team that has 10 extensions (8100-8110), instead of displaying each extension when making calls, you can just display one caller ID name “Support” for the whole team.

To map a group of extensions to a caller ID name

  1. Go to Phone System > Profile > Caller ID Modification.
  2. Click New.
  3. In the Match number field, enter the pattern of the extensions, such as 81xx.
  4. In the Match option field, select Match Number or Name.
  5. In the Map to new caller ID name field, enter the caller ID name to which you want to map, such as “Support”.
  6. Click Create.

Configuring phone profiles

Phone profiles contain the phone configurations that are mostly used and customized, such as the programmable phone keys. Phone profiles make extension configuration more flexible because phone users are allowed to choose the profile they want. In addition, any changes the administrator makes to a profile is automatically applied to the extensions that use the profile. For more information, see Configuring IP extensions.

The phone profiles configured here appear as Admin defined profiles when you configure an SIP extension.

To configure a phone profile

  1. Go to Phone System > Profile > Phone.

    Hot-desking

    Hot desking enables users to log into another phone. However, unlike using Follow Me or Call Forwarding which simply redirect a user's calls to another user’s phone, hot desking takes total control of another phone by applying all of the user's own phone Setting to that phone until the user logs out. Each user can log into another phone by pressing *11 and enter his extension number and user PIN following the prompts. To log out, a user can press *12.

    You can view hot desking configurations by going to Viewing activity details of hot desking extensions.

    • Enable hot-desking login: Select to enable the hot-desking login function.
    • Automatic logout hours: Enter the time in hours for the phone to automatically log out of hot-desking.
    • Enable hosting hot-desking: Select if you want to log into a regular phone with the hot-desking phone authentication (by pressing *11 and enter your extension number and user PIN following the prompts).
      By selecting this option, the old extension is taken over by the new extension on this phone. After logging out the phone with the hot-desking phone authentication, the old extension is recovered. However, outgoing calls still display the hotd-esking extension number.
      The regular phone logs out of hot-desking when the time set in Automatic logout hours expires.

    If the two phones use different programmable phone keys, the host phone will reboot. For information on programmable phone keys, see Configuring phone profiles.
