WinRoute is the industry's first software router/firewall that brings the Internet telephony to the serious business level. BuddyPhone allows you to place a call through the Internet from one network to another.
Support for BuddyPhone works best with ICQ. Register this free instant messenger software and you will enjoy "one-touch-button" operation when calling your friends.
All users' active in your ICQ buddy list will appear in your BuddyPhone phone book and placing a call is as easy as selecting such a user in the list.
There are no settings required as long as you use BuddyPhone and ICQ together.
Using BuddyPhone without ICQ
WinRoute can divert the calls coming from the Internet to the right recipient in the local network based on the port.
Use ports 710 and up to assign the local users with their unique port.
Example:
You have three users in your LAN using BuddyPhone.
User name |
User's IP internal IP address |
Port assigned to user |
John |
192.168.1.2 |
710 |
Quido |
192.168.1.3 |
711 |
Bob |
192.168.1.4 |
712 |
Then you will set the Port Mapping:
Listen Port |
Destination IP |
Destination Port |
710 |
192.168.1.2 |
700 |
711 |
192.168.1.3 |
700 |
712 |
192.168.1.4 |
700 |
Placing a phone call to the user will be as easy as entering company.com:port# in the BuddyPhone direct dial dialog. For example kerio.com:711.
Note! It is not a mistake in our documentation! The destination port is really 700. This is the port number used by BuddyPhone to work. WinRoute will provide the routing based on the Listen Port.
