So you want to know how to configure #CSipSimple on #Android for XeloQ? Good; read our blog ( #VoIP #SmartPhone #SIP )

Configuring CSipSimple on Android SmartPhones – it is not difficult at all.

First, get CSipSimple in the Market; it’s free and works very good at XeloQ’s VoIP system.

Get it here: http://code.google.com/p/csipsimple/

Or if you have a barcode scanner, scan this QR-Tag:

Just install it and start it afterwards (add it to one of your ‘desktop’ screens for quickstart).

Then, to configure an account, press the left Menu button and press Accounts.
You will see this screen:

In there, press + Add account; you will see this screen:

Just fill out all like above and press Save .

Then your SIP account will be registered. Preferably, use a WIFI connection. 3G / UMTS could cause delays an break-ups in the voice.

If all is fine, then you can dial as shown below; dialing always starts with 00xx unless you are on our Hosted PBX. On our Hosted PBX you can use your address book entries with +31xxxx

Please give us your feedback and experience.

Remember that outbound #faxing works fine with XeloQ using our dedicated fax system #VoIP #SIP #Fax

Faxing over VoIP (FoIP) – does it work with XeloQ? Yes…read on.

Still, in 2011 we are pretty amazed how many people still use the good old FAX machine…

Faxing and VoIP is a bit of a struggle and we officially do not support it but OUTBOUND faxing basically works very well.

There are a few things to look after when you use a FAX machine and our system; we will outline them here.

  1. Use a Group II FAX machine at a maximum speed of 9600 baud
  2. Connect that fax machine to an ATA like Grandstream HT 386 or Linksys 3102
  3. Make sure the latest firmware is on that ATA
  4. Use the g711u codec and make sure the T.38 protocol is switched ON (check this link for settings of LinkSys 3102)
  5. Have an account at our FAX server; sign up at http://fax.goandcall.com and PREPAY us HERE.
  6. Let the ATA register at our system using the created SIP account and start faxing!

If all is fine, your faxes will go out perfectly. Rememer this is an ”as is” service but many customers use it with lots of pleasure.
Any comments or issues? Send an email to support and we can see if we can help you out.

Feel free to give us your feedback or tips about faxing & VoIP below.

All you need to know to protect your IP PBX from hackers; act now! #Asterisk #SIP #VoIP #3CX #pbxnsip #Lync #MyPBX #Freeswitch #Trixbox #UC

Protect your IP PBX – make sure nobody can access your system !

In recent months there has been an industry-wide increase of fraudulent attacks on VoIP customers. These attacks try to gain unauthorised access to SIP devices and IP PBX systems in order to make high-cost, chargeable phone calls through compromised PBX systems.

Due to the wide usage of IP PBX-based solutions by a large range of customers and existing security issues with different PBX’s especially Asterisk we kindly ask you to pay closer attention to such customers of yours or your own IP PBX environment.

Also 3CX IP PBX-es already has been compromised (read this for instance to instantly secure your 3CX PBX now: http://www.3cx.com/blog/releases/3cx-security-update-v9/ ).

These security issues can lead to big losses caused by “brute force” attacks and generating calls to extremely expensive destinations or premium numbers like Austria Premium, Somalia, Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, etc.

Calls to these destinations mostly take place during night time with unusually high ASR* (close to 90%) and ACD** (over 15 minutes) parameters.

Due to this and to protect our (and your) customers, XeloQ blocked certain problematic destinations but it is impossible to block all destinations because sometimes it are normal calling destinations.

If you make use of local PBX’s and use XeloQ to terminate your traffic, then make sure that your local IP PBX solution can’t be hacked.
Change all standard passwords and protect your environment with available tools and tighten your firewall rules and remote access to these systems.

More tips to make the use of your IP Telephony system more secure

  1. Clean up your PC and make sure usernames / passwords of your system and your customers’ SIP accounts are not stored in your email.
    Your PC should be free and cleaned from viruses, Trojans, backdoors, keyboard loggers or other phishing methods to catch usernames / passwords.
  2. ……read more on our extended Dr. VoIP website………

If you have any comments or useful feedback, let us know. We will appreciate and it will help to make the world of Internet Telephony even more secure!
