Use Service Profiles |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
SJphone may use predefined sets of options for specific types of calls or for calls through different Internet Telephony Service providers (ITSP). Such sets of options are stored in profiles. SJphone profiles are platform-independent and you may use profiles originally created for SJphone for Windows.
An example of a call-type specific profile is that for the direct call to a host using the SIP VoIP protocol. You do not need to enter a complex dial string like sip:johndoe@jd.bigcom.com. Instead, you may select the SIP direct profile and type the URL in the Call to field. Or, if you use several ITSPs, you may easily switch between them just selecting a required profile, usually supplied by the service provider.
You may even write your own profile with your own set of options, such as your Gatekeeper or Gateway parameters, although that requires some knowledge of VoIP technology.
