SIP Provider Vodafone R.4a (DE)

General

The Vodafone SIP Trunk R.4a was first tested and released with a SwyxWare 11.32.0.0. 

Vodafone is offering a registerless SIP trunk. This means that the authentication is based on the public IP address of the SwyxWare server. Therefore, you need a static, public IP address from your ISP. For SIP communication with a provider SwyxWare does not use the standard SIP port 5060 but the port 65002. When ordering a Vodafone SIP Trunk it must be pointed out that SwyxWare communicates via this SIP Trunk so that the correct port configuration can be set up on the Vodafone side. For a connection via a NAT component a port forwarding rule must be set up, from the public port 65002 of the NAT gateway to the IP address of the SwyxWare server with port 65002. For a direct connection no additional adjustments have to be made.

You may possibly also receive information about UserID, UserName and UserPassword,  whereas the naming may differ, or you might have only received UserName and -password. In this case, UserID and UserName are identical. However, this information is not needed. 

Platforms

SwyxWare

The SIP Trunk from Vodafone can be used with SwyxWare 2015 R40.1 or higher. When using an earlier version of SwyxWare, incompatibilities cannot be excluded and the use is at the user's own risk.

SwyxON

The SIP Trunk from Vodafone is not suitable for operation in data centers.

Configuration

During creation of the SIP Trunkgroup, profile 'Vodafone (DE)' has to be selected.

Codec configuration

During creation of the actual trunk, in the codec configuration dialog, T.38 has to be deselected as supported codec. This step could also be performed afterwards in the properties of the SIP trunk, underneath the 'Codecs' tab.

Tests

Disclaimer

Verifying interoperability between different SIP providers and the Swyx solution is part of the Enreach Technology Alliance Programme (TAP) tasks. Due to different implementations of the SIP RFCs, it is necessary to determine and provide an individual configuration for each SIP provider.

Within the TAP, Enreach tests a large number of national and international SIP providers in order to make statements about the interoperability with the Swyx solution and the functional scope of the respective SIP trunk. These results and, if needed, configuration advice are published in Help Center articles.

Enreach is in close contact with selected SIP providers to ensure a quick troubleshooting in case of incompatibilities. In addition, tests are repeated at regular intervals to ensure consistent quality.

Despite regular retests it cannot be excluded that incompatibilities with the Swyx solution may occur due to changes in the SIP connection on the provider side or that the provided profile is no longer valid. After creating the trunk group or SIP trunk, the profile settings should be compared with the provider's information and adjusted accordingly in case of deviations.

However, should incompatibilities or problems occur with a tested SIP trunk, no claims for recourse against Enreach GmbH can be derived from this. In such cases, you can contact Enreach Support via your specialist dealer.
