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. - -January 2006 - -Michel de Boer -michel@twinklephone.com |
