About this task

Step 9 towards the goal: Setting up and using the communications enabled application samples

To complete this set of tasks, you must know the host name or address and SIP_DEFAULTHOST port of the application server that is running the sample IP PBX application.

To view the port numbers assigned to a given server, first visit the following WebSphere Application Server administrative console page: Application servers > servername , where servername is the name of the application server; for example: server1. Then display the Ports table that is located in the Communications category of settings.

Procedure

  1. Download Express® Talk Basic using the NCH Software site, http://www.nch.com.au/talk/be.html.
  2. Run the Express Talk Basic setup file, talksetup.exe. Then accept the default installation settings.
  3. After the installation completes, a Setup wizard opens. Use the first several pages of the setup wizard to define appropriate speaker and microphone settings. (In many cases, you can simply accept the default settings.)
  4. On the SIP Details page of the Setup wizard, use the following account information to configure Express Talk Basic to serve as a phone for a customer.
    1. Full Friendly Display Name: Customer
    2. Server (SIP Proxy or Virtual PBX): host name or address of the application server; for example: localhost
    3. SIP Number (or User Name): Customer
    4. Password: Leave this field blank
  5. Click Finish to save the settings.
  6. If the application server is not using the default SIP_DEFAULTHOST port (5060), complete the following actions:
    1. On the main Express Talk Basic window, click the Options button.
    2. After the Options window opens, click the Lines tab.
    3. After the Lines page opens, click the Advanced Line Settings button.
    4. After the Advanced SIP Server window opens, select Use a different outbound server.
    5. In the Outbound Server field, enter hostname:port, where hostname is the host name or address of the application server, and port is the SIP_DEFAULTHOST port of the application server; for example: localhost:5061.
    6. Click OK to save the settings, and close the Advanced SIP Server Settings window.
    7. Click OK to save the settings, and close the Options window.
    Avoid trouble Avoid trouble: If the softphone does not register with the IP PBX, ensure that the application server and the sample IP PBX application (commsvc.pbx) are running. Additionally, ensure that the SIP_DEFAULTHOST port is not being used by another application, such as an email application.gotcha
