Ekiga

Register to a commercial VoIP provider (landline and mobile phones)

You can register to a commercial VoIP provider to place calls to normal phone line or cell phone. Ekiga allows you to register several VoIP providers.

Default provider

There is no obligation for you to use the default provider.

The default provider is Diamondcard Worldwide Communication Service, which offers these rates

1. To purchase the account, go in Tools -> PC-To-Phone Account. You absolutely need to purchase the account from the PC-To-Phone configuration window or it won’t work.

2. Wait for the mail that will give you a login and a PIN.
3. Enter that login and PIN in the appropriate fields in the window and enable the PC-To-Phone service.

You are now ready to do PC-To-Phone calls at very low rates all over the world.

To dial a number, simply add «00» followed by the country code, and by the phone number you want to reach.

For example, sip:003210111111 to call number 10111111 in Belgium.

Broadvoice Support

In order to setup Ekiga to work with Broadvoice which offer those rates, use the following settings.

Figure out which proxy is closest to you:

# proxy.lax.broadvoice.com

# proxy.dca.broadvoice.com

# proxy.mia.broadvoice.com

# proxy.atl.broadvoice.com

# proxy.chi.broadvoice.com

# proxy.bos.broadvoice.com

# proxy.nyc.broadvoice.com

Ekiga Preferences:

• SIP Settings → Outbound SIP Proxy: proxy.broadvoice.com

• Codecs → Video Codecs → Disable (uncheck) video support or else you will get a codec error.

Account Information:

• Registrar: sip.broadvoice.com

• User: <10 digit broadvoice telephone number>

• Password: <obtained requesting it from broadvoice support>

• Authentication Login: <10 digit broadvoice telephone number>

• Realm/Domain: sip.broadvoice.com or Broadworks

In the case where you need to troubleshoot, start ekiga with ‘ekiga -d 4’

How to set up a Gizmo account

Gizmo offers those rates.

To subscibe an account, go here and open a Sipphone account. Then, with your account number and your password go there, you’ll be prompted to choose a Gizmo name.

Now go to menu Edit → Accounts → Add

Account name:	whatever you wish
Registrar:	proxy01.sipphone.com
User:	Your Gizmo number (1747xxxxxxx)
Password:	Your password

Then try the echo test: sip:1393613@proxy01.sipphone.com

How to set up a Wengo account

Wengo offer this rates.

Once you’ve registered at https://secure.wengo.com/register/wengophone/index.php?yawl=wengo.public.homePage&yawl=wengo.subs_152.persistOffer&lang=eng , visit

...
<userid>Username</userid>
...
<password>Password</password>
...

Now go to menu Edit → Accounts → Add

Account name:	whatever you wish
Registrar:	voip.wengo.fr
User:	the username from the ws.wengo.fr url above
Password:	the password from the ws.wengo.fr url above

Now try the echo test: sip:333@voip.wengo.fr

Первое применение

When you start Ekiga for the first time, the 10 step Configuration druid will help you to correctly configure Ekiga. It is strongly recommended that you complete the druid.

More help about the druid (step-by-step)

How do I get a free sip:address ? (step 3/10)

Letters and numbers will do just fine.

Just follow the link given in the dialog to get an account if you do not have one, then fill in your username and password.

Your address will be sip:Username@ekiga.net

Please press ’Forward’ after having entered all required information to continue.

How do I place a call ?

When you’re done the druid and if you have an account on ekiga.net, you can call the echo test: sip:500@ekiga.net You’ll be able to check if you can reach the service (the SIP network), if your sound setup is ok (you can hear yourself with a delay) and if your webcam works (you can see yourself).

If you know the SIP address of the party that you wish to call, you may enter that adress into the sip: input box at the top of the screen and press the Connect button; eg: sip:foo@ekiga.net and pressing the Connect button would call the user at that address.

Can I use several sip:addresses ?

Yes. First you have to register to the provider (e.g. ekiga.net). Then to add your new sip:address, go to menu Edit -> Accounts -> Add

Account name:	enter the name for the Edit -> Accounts window
Registrar:	ekiga.net (or another provider)
User:	Your Username
Password:	Your password

Ekiga.net services (free calls PC-to-PC)

Ekiga.net is a free service (no ads) based upon Free Software (SER and Asterisk) ran by the Ekiga team.

Test service

Once you’re registered to http://ekiga.net, you can test your setup and line quality by dialing the echo service: sip:500@ekiga.net

This service only works with PCMU or iLBC audio codecs, and the H.261 video codec.

Audio conference server

If you are using ekiga.net as your VoIP provider, you can access a conference server via the aliases

• sip:501@ekiga.net to join the public conference room

• sip:501XXXX@ekiga.net where XXXX is the number of your choice representing the number of the room.

[For example, a group of friends could meet in conference room 1122 by dialing sip:5011122@ekiga.net]

Using 501xxxx, you’ll be asked for a «PIN number»: dialing a number you can protect the access to your conference room or just dialing # will make this conference public.

How to place a call to other SIP providers (peering)

Peering is the term given to agreement between VoIP Service Providers which enables the users of one service to call users of another.

This is usually implemented by dialing a special prefix number and then the number of the receipitant (on the ‘other’ service).

With Ekiga.net, you can use SipBroker prefixes.

Here are some exemples of prefixes:

Prefix	Registrar	Description
*282	sip.broadvoice.com	Broadvoice, do not work actually (2007 july)
*747	proxy01.sipphone.com	Gizmo/SIPPhone
*393	fwd.pulver.com	Freeworlddialup
*534	sip1.voipbuster.com	Voipbuster
*551	sip.internetcalls.com	internetcalls
*248	voip.wengo.fr	Wengo

You can also use the special prefix *013 to place a call using Enum. As prefixes do not have a standard, Enum tries to solve this situation.

Some numbers you can dial using Ekiga.net:

Number	Description
*8501800xxxxxxx@ekiga.net	US toll free numbers (1-800) ideasip.com, search US Toll Free numbers.
*318411@ekiga.net	Tell me ixcall.net (Speech recognition)
*248333@ekiga.net	Wengo echo test (France)
*393613@ekiga.net	Freeworlddialup echo test
*773505741837999@ekiga.net	Prato City Hall echo test (Italy)
*74717475552663@ekiga.net	Freeconferencecall.com
*7471101301@ekiga.net	Gizmo Echo test
*74712220000000@ekiga.net	Party Line Sipphone.com
*010600@ekiga.net	Voxalot.com (US) Echo test

How to search a contact in Ekiga White pages

People registered to Ekiga.net may be reached using the White Pages.

• Open the Address Book (Tools → Address Book), or click the address book button.

• Select «Ekiga White pages».

You can search the White pages by name, SIP address, or location. Up to 100 results are returned for any search.

Ekiga.net button for your web page

You can easily put a button on your web page showing your status: online or offline. If you’re online, the visitor can place a call using the button.

Here is what will appear on your web page:

In order to use it, simply add this to your web page:

<script src=”http://www.ekiga.net/status/presence.php?user=YOUR_ID_ON_EKIGA.NET”></script>

where YOUR_ID_ON_EKIGA.NET is simply your username.

Development snapshots

You can get the latest development snapshots from snapshots.voxgratia.org. Installing them may solve problems you are experiencing, but be aware that the snapshots could also cause more problems. This package will install nearby your actual and stable version. The Ekiga team maintains this roadmap to Ekiga version 3.0.

To install, follow this directions:

To add the security GPG key to your portfolio, use this command in a terminal:

gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.de.pgp.net --recv-keys 52ABFCB1
gpg --export --armor 52ABFCB1 | sudo apt-key add -

Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty :

deb http://snapshots.ekiga.net/ubuntu/ feisty main

Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy :

deb http://snapshots.ekiga.net/ubuntu/ edgy main

Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper :

deb http://snapshots.ekiga.net/ubuntu/ dapper main

Install the package ekiga-snapshot.

Install the latest version

The following process uses non-official repositories. They’ve been made by the Ekiga team which can’t support them. Thus, if you run into trouble, you’ll be on your own. The main reason you’ll upgrade is the version shipped with Ubuntu is more than 1 year old (2.0.3 at best); many bug fixes have been contributed since (2.0.9).

Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty i386 :

deb http://www.ekiga.org/admin/downloads/latest/ubuntu/feisty_x86/ ./

Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper AMD64 :

When upgrading the package list you’ll get a warning about a public key and PGP as our packages aren’t signed. This won’t prevent you from upgrading to version 2.0.9.

Ekiga 3.3.2 [UNSTABLE] available

Submitted by Yannick Defais on Fri, 08/26/2011 — 00:12

The «H264 and H263+ codecs, welcome back» release

This is the third unstable release of the upcoming 3.4 version of Ekiga.

It is a bug-fixing release since the previous unstable release (1 month ago). It is not yet a replacement of the last stable release (3.2.7), but should be used by people having problems with the stable release and by people who want to help ekiga.

It has received only few testing, it works on developers machines, and the only known major regression (which should hopefully be fixed in the next unstable release) compared to the last stable release is the following:

after a (missed) incoming call during a communication, cannot be called anymore

User-visible fixes

• Re-add back H264 and H263+ video plugins
• Fix presence in case of several tuples
• Fix presence when receiving old presentity type without note
• Re-add contact limited compatibility mode for bogus registrars
• Fix leaking the opal account store in the assistant
• Make Enter key in roster (contact list) make a call
• Fix infinite loops in the loudmouth presentity code
• Add mnemonics to buttons in Accounts dialog box
• Fix _dl_close failed assertion at quit

You can download the Windows version here: 3.3.2 unstable release for Windows (20MB)

Configuration

This section covers the configuration of Ekiga.

Network

Ekiga is able to use a STUN server. In most cases the defaults should work fine, even for users of consumer-grade firewalls.

However, for advanced users or complex setups, here is the list of ports used by Ekiga:

Protocol	Port	Type of port	Description
SIP	5000 to 5100	UDP	SIP signalling, listen port: 5060
STUN	3478 to 3479	UDP	Outgoing traffic to STUN servers
H323	1720	TCP	Listen port
H323	5000 to 5100	UDP	gatekeepers H.323
H323	30000 to 30010	TCP	H.245 channel for old implementations H.323 (Netmeeting)

Several Ekigas on a LAN

There are several programs which allow copies of Ekiga to communicate with each other; you can use a SIP proxy (like Siproxd) or a PBX (like Asterisk. Further information about Ekiga and Asterisk can be found on the Ekiga documentation), or you can use Avahi.

Avahi

Avahi is the main implementation of ZeroConf protocol under Ubuntu (known as Rendezvous or Bonjour on Mac OS X). This technology allows automatic discovery of services.

To set up Avahi, please follow the Zeroconf Howto.

Other copies of Ekiga on the LAN should appear in the Address Book (third button on the left) if you double-click on Contacts Near Me.

Sound

This section is about testing and changing the sound configuration in Ekiga.

Test your computer

The audio test in the configuration druid will show you if there is any audio problem.

In case of audio problem, to check if your computer meets the requirements for Ekiga, try this command in a terminal:

$ arecord -D plughw:0,0 -c 1 -r 8000 -f S16_LE - | aplay -D plughw:0,0 -c 1 -r 8000 -f S16_LE -

Now, speak into your microphone. You should be able to hear yourself in your headset with a small delay (approximately half a second). If it doesn’t work as expected, first try to setup correctly your audio desktop configuration: make sure your microphone is not muted and the volume levels are OK.

Ekiga and other audio applications

Ekiga is capable of running simultaneously with other sound applications (like music and video players). The following directions should be enough to accomplish this:

From the Edit menu, choose Preferences → Devices → Audio Devices.

• Select «ALSA» as the audio plugin

• Select «Default» as output

• Select «Default» as input

Then, from the Edit menu, choose Preferences → General → Sound Events. Select «Default» as alternate device output.

Ekiga’s documentation More about running Ekiga with other audio applications

Webcam

Ekiga does not require a webcam.

How to set up a webcam

Choosing the right webcam driver

The Linux kernel has two ways to communicate with video devices, the old v4l and the new v4l2. It’s best to use v4l2, but some devices only support v4l.

From the Edit menu, choose Preferences → Devices → Video device.

Try «v4l2” or «v4l” as video plugin

Choosing the right video device

If you have several video devices (like a TV card and a webcam) you will need to tell Ekiga which one to use:

From the Edit menu, choose Preferences → Devices → Video device. Change the channel number until you find the right one.

To test your webcam, click the fourth of the six icons (a grey round webcam) on the left side of the main Ekiga window. If eveything is ok, you’ll see the output of the webcam. If not, you’ll see the Ekiga logo bouncing slowly.

History

Ekiga was originally started over Christmas in the year 2000. Originally written by Damien Sandras it grew to being maintained by a team of nine regular contributors by 2011. Sandras wanted to create a Netmeeting clone for Linux as his graduating project at UCLouvain.

Ekiga was referred to as GnomeMeeting until 2004 when a name change was thought necessary by the developers. Concerns were cited that the original name was associated with a dead Microsoft product called NetMeeting, and not always recoginized as VoIP software. It was also proposed that some people assumed they needed to run GNOME to run GnomeMeeting, which was no longer the case.[citation needed] Eventually on January 18, 2006 the name Ekiga was chosen based on an old way of communicating between villages in Cameroon. Around that the time the direction of the software project was changed and it turned into a SIP client.

The following shows major version releases:

• March 2004 – Version 1.0 under the name GnomeMeeting
• March 2006 – Version 2.0 was released under name Ekiga, it was bundled with GNOME 2.14
• April 2007 – Version 2.0.9 was the first version to include support for Microsoft Windows
• September 2008 – Version 3.0.0
• March 2009  — First release of the 3.2.x series. Added support for G.722 audio as well as unified the support for H.263 and H.263.
• November 2012  — Ekiga 4.0.0, «The Victory Release», is a major release with many major improvements.
• February 2013  — Ekiga 4.0.1, «The Victory Release», this version has many improvements.

linux на десктопе → Настройка Ekiga для работы с SipNet

Вот седня ночью собрался с силами и настроил-таки работу микрофонов. В связи с этим сразу-же принялся настраивать работавший некогда в Windows SIP телефон

В качестве подопытного образца был выбран телефон Ekiga и оператор SipNet

Здесь вбиваем любые 2 слова латиницей

Здесь, в принципе можно написать что угодно, главное ОТМЕТИТЬ ГАЛОЧКОЙ «Я не хочу подписываться на бесплатный сервис Ekiga.Net»

Просто нажимаем далее и т.п.

Вот тут для меня началось самое интересное: настройка аудиооборудования. Нажимаем на кнопку «Проверка параметров». Если сразу ругается — переходим Система—Выбор мультимедийной системы и пробцем менять значения на вкладке «Аудио». Параллельно можно запустить программу звукозаписи и пробовать записат с микрофона и затем воспроизвести звук

Если сразу не заработает все, запускаем програмку alsamixer и дрючим ее, особенно такие пункты, где присутствует слово Mic или Capture. Нужно добиться того, что при работающем тесте шага 7/10 при произнесении звуков в микрофон они воспроизводились через колонки (наушники) спустя некоторое время (4 секунды)

Ну, веб-камеры у меня нет, поэтому следующие пункты проскочил без разбора

Ну, основная настройка завершена, осталось добавить учетные записи SipNet
