-Twinkle is a SIP based VoIP client.
-
-Release 0.5 notes
------------------
-In this release the SIP UDP port and RTP port settings have been
-moved from the user profile to the system settings. If you made
-any changes to the default port values in your user profiles, then
-these changes will be lost.
-
-Library requirements
---------------------
-To compile Twinkle you need the following libraries:
-
-libccext2 (version >= 1.4.2) [GNU Common C++]
-libccgnu2 (version >= 1.4.2) [GNU Common C++]
- http://www.gnu.org/software/commoncpp/
-
-libccrtp1 (version >= 1.5.0) [GNU RTP Stack]
-libzrtpcpp (version >= 0.9.0) [Extension library of GNU ccRTP]
- http://www.gnu.org/software/ccrtp/
-
-libqt-mt (version >= 3.3.0) [Qt library with threading support]
- http://www.trolltech.com/
- For the Qt environment the $QTDIR variable must be set
- correctly
-
-Shared user data
-----------------
-Installation will create the following directory for shared user data
-on your system:
-
- $(pkgdatadir)/twinkle
-
-Typical value for pkgdatadir is: /usr/local/share or /opt/kde3/share
-
-Application icon
-----------------
-If you want to create an application link on your desktop you
-can find an application icon in the shared user data directory:
-
- twinkle16.png 16x16 icon
- twinkle32.png 32x32 icon
- twinkle48.png 48x48 icon
-
-User data
----------
-On first run Twinkle will create the directory ".twinkle" in your home
-directory. In this directory all user data will be put:
-
- user profiles (.cfg)
- log files (.log)
- system settings (twinkle.sys)
- call history (twinkle.ch)
- lock file (twinkle.lck)
-
-Starting Twinkle
-----------------
-Give the command: twinkle
-
-'twinkle -h' will show you some command line options you may use.
-
-NOTE: the CLI option is not fool proof. A command given at a wrong
- time may crash the program. It is recommended to use the GUI.
-
-If you do not specify a configuration file (-f <profile>) on the command
-line, then Twinkle will look for configuration files in your
-.twinkle directory.
-
-If you do not have any configuration file, the configuration file
-editor will startup so you can create one. If you have
-configuration files, then Twinkle lets you select an
-existing configuration file. See below for some hints on
-settings to be made with the profile configuration editor.
-
-If you specify a configuration file name, then Twinkle will
-such for this configuration file in your .twinkle directory.
-If you have put your configuration file in another location
-you have to specify the full path name for the file, i.e.
-starting with a slash.
-
-NOTE: the configuration file editor only exists in the GUI.
- If you run the CLI mode, you must have a configuration file.
- So first create a configuration file in GUI mode or hand edit
- a configuration file, before running the CLI mode.
- If you run the CLI mode and you do not specify a file name
- on the command line, then Twinkle will use twinkle.cfg
-
-NAT
----
-If there is a NAT between you and your SIP server then you have
-3 options to make things work:
-
-1) Your SIP provider uses a Session Border Controller
-2) Your SIP provider offers a STUN server
-3) Make static address mappings in your NAT for SIP and RTP
-
-STUN can be enabled in the NAT section of the user profile.
-
-For the static address mappings enable the following in
-the NAT section of the user profile:
-
- Use statically configured public IP address inside SIP messages
-
- And fill in the public IP address of your NAT.
-
- Twinkle will then use this IP address inside SIP headers and
- SDP bodies instead of the private IP address of your machine.
-
- In addition you have to add the following port forwardings for UDP
- on your NAT
-
- public:5060 --> private:5060 (for SIP signaling)
- public:8000 --> private:8000 (for RTP on line 1)
- public:8001 --> private:8001 (for RTCP on line 1)
- public:8002 --> private:8002 (for RTP on line 2)
- public:8003 --> private:8003 (for RTCP on line 2)
- public:8004 --> private:8004 (for RTP for call transfer)
- public:8005 --> private:8005 (for RTCP for call transfer)
-
- If you have changed the SIP/RTP ports in your profile you have
- to change the port forwarding rules likewise.
-
-Log files
----------
-During execution Twinkle will create the following log files in
-your .twinkle directory:
-
- twinkle.log This is the latest log file
- twinkle.log.old This is the previous log file
-
-When twinkle.log is full (default is 5 MB) then it is moved to
-twinkle.log.old and a new twinkle.log is created.
-
-On startup an existing twinkle.log is moved to twinkle.log.old and a
-new twinkle.log is created.
-
-User profile configuration
---------------------------
-A user profile contains information about your user account,
-SIP proxy, and several SIP protocol options. If you use Twinkle
-with different user accounts you may create multiple user
-profiles.
-
-When you create a new profile you first give it a name and
-then you can make the appropriate settings. The name of the
-profile is what later on appears in the selection box
-when you start Twinkle again. Or you can give the name.cfg
-at the command line (-f option) to immediately start that
-profile.
-
-The user profile is stored as '<name>.cfg' in the .twinkle
-directory where <name> is the name you gave to the profile.
-
-At a minumimum you have to specify the following:
-
- User name: this is your SIP user name (eg. phone number)
- Domain: the domain of your provider (eg. fwd.pulver.com)
- this could also be the IP address of your SIP proxy
- if you want to do IP-to-IP dialing (without proxy) then
- fill in the IP address or FQDN of your computer.
-
-If your SIP proxy does not request authentication and the value you
-filled in for 'Domain' can be resolved to an IP address by Twinkle,
-eg. it is an IP address or an FQDN that is in an A-record of the
-DNS, then you are ready now.
-
-NOTE: Twinkle does not support DNS SRV records yet.
-
-Authentication
---------------
-If your proxy needs authentication, then specify the following fields
-in the SIP authentication box:
-
- Realm: the realm for authentication
- you might leave the realm empty. If you do so, then
- Twinkle will use the name and password regardless of
- the realm put in the challenge by the proxy. For most
- network setups this is fine. You only need to explicitly
- specify a realm when you have call scenario's where
- you have to access multiple realms. Then for the realms
- not known to Twinkle you will be requested for a login
- when needed.
- Name: your authentication name
- Password: your authentication password
-
-If authentication fails during registration or any other SIP request
-because you filled in wrong values, then Twinkle will at that time
-interactively request your login and cache it.
-
-Outbound proxy
---------------
-An outbound proxy is only needed if the domain value cannot be resolved
-to an IP address by Twinkle or because your provider demands you to
-use an outbound proxy that is at a different IP address.
-
-Check the 'use outbound proxy' check box in the SIP server section.
-For outbound proxy fill in an IP address or an FQDN that can be
-resolved to an IP address via DNS.
-
-By default only out-of-dialog requests (eg. REGISTER, OPTIONS, initial
-INVITE) are sent to the outbound proxy. In-dialog requests (eg. re-INVITE,
-BYE) are sent to the target indicated by the far end during call setup.
-By checking 'send in-dialog requests to proxy' Twinkle will ignore this
-target and send these requests also to the proxy. Normally you would
-not need this. It could be useful in a scenario where the far-end
-indicates a target that cannot be resolved to an IP address.
-
-By checking "Do not send a request to proxy if its destination can be
-resolved locally" will make Twinkle always first try to figure out
-the destination IP address itself, i.e. based on the request-URI and
-Route-headers. Only when that fails the outbound-proxy will be tried,
-but only for the options checked above. I.e. if you did not check
-the 'in-dialog' option, then an in-dialog request will
-never go to the proxy. If its destination cannot be resolved, then
-the request will simply fail.
-
-Registrar
----------
-By default a REGISTER will be send to the IP address resolved from
-the domain value or to the outbound proxy if specified.
-
-If your service provider has a dedicated registrar which is
-different from these IP addresses, then you can specify the
-IP or FQDN of the registrar in the registrar-field.
-
-The 'expiry' value is the expiry of your registration. Just before
-the registration expires Twinkle will automatically refresh the
-registration. The expiry time may be overruled by the registrar.
-
-The 'registrar at startup option' will make Twinkle automatically
-send a REGISTER on startup of the profile.
-
-Addressing
-----------
-When you invite someone to a call you have to enter an an address.
-A SIP address has the following form:
-
- sip:<user>@<host-part>
-
-Where 'user' is a user name or a phone number
-and 'host-part' is a domain name, FQDN or IP address
-
-The only mandatory part for you to enter is the <user>. Twinkle
-will fill in the other parts if you do not provide them.
-For the host-part, Twinkle will fill in the value you configured
-as your 'domain'.
-
-Currently "sip:" is the only addressing scheme supported by Twinkle.
