LinPhone開發文檔二:在Android/iPhone上使用linphone

原文地址:http://www.linphone.org/eng/documentation/guide/getting-started-with-linphone-for-androidiphone.htmlGetting started with Linphone for Android/iPhoneYou just downloaded Linphone on your iPhone or Android phone. Great ! But what happens now ? What's that complicated settings view ?(開始設定)

Let's go to the basics: before being able to place calls to any number worldwide, you need to purchase a SIP account from a VoIP operator or provider. The VoIP operator's role is to transform a pure internet VoIP call into
classical PSTN call, thanks to a set of machines called gateways.

第一步:如果你想呼叫全球任意地區的電話號碼,那麼你首先要在VOIP電訊廠商那裡購買一個SIP帳號.VOIP電訊廠商的角色就是:通過一系列的網關裝置把網際網路上的VOIP通話轉換成傳統的電話通話.

Linphone is a general purpose SIP softphone that isn't bound to any operator. Because it is compatible with SIP, it can work with any VoIP operator using SIP (most of them use SIP, the most notable exception being Skype). Linphone.org is not
affiliated nor recommends a VoIP operator in particular. We invite you to select a VoIP provider in your country by browsing the web, and compare rates etc...

Note that you might have a SIP account included with your internet line subscription: it is the case in France for clients of the free.fr internet provider, who is powering the freephonie.net VoIP network.

Linphone是一個通用目的的SIP通話軟體,不隸屬於任何VOIP電訊廠商.因為Linphone相容SIP協議,所以可以在任何使用SIP協議的VOIP電訊廠商網路上使用(大多數電訊廠商使用的是SIP協議,最出名的沒有採用SIP協議的就是Skype了).Linphone.org不會精選VOIP電訊廠商,你可以通過搜尋引擎來選擇一個所在地區的VOIP電訊廠商.

如果你在法國,並且使用了free.fr的寬頻網路,
那你的寬頻費用中可能已經包含了一個SIP帳號,該電訊廠商運營了一個叫做freephonie.net的VOIP網路.

Ok I have now a SIP account at some-voip-company dot com, what do I do ?(已經有了帳號該怎麼辦)

Go to the settings page of Linphone. On android it is accessible through the "menu" button, on iPhone the settings are located within the Settings application, together with all other iPhone settings. You 'll have to enter at least three things:

• Username
• Domain
• Password

進入Linphone的設定介面.如果你用的是Android裝置,那麼點擊"菜單"鍵.如果你用的是iPhone,那麼開啟"設定"應用,Linphone的設定介面和iPhone的設定在一起.你最少要輸入三項:使用者名稱,主機名稱,密碼.

All this information should be provided to you by your VoIP operator during signup process. For your information, username and domain form your SIP identity when grouped together like an email address:

以上這些資訊都應該在你註冊的時候由VOIP電訊廠商提供給你.你的使用者名稱和主機名稱組成你的SIP識別碼,類似於郵箱地址:

sip:my_username@my_voip_provider

Sometimes, VoIP providers might require to setup also the "Proxy" field. This happens when the domain is different from the proxy.

And that's all. Once returned back from the settings page, Linphone should say something like "Registered on XXXX" or "Registration on XXXX sucessful".

有時候,你需要設定代理選項.通常是由於主機地址和Proxy 位址不一致.

這時候就設定好了.當你從設定介面返回的時候,Linphone會發個提示資訊,類似於"Registered on XXXX" or "Registration on XXXX sucessful".

You can now place calls.

你就可以開始打電話了.

All other settings are for advanced users or geeks who want to play with the software.

其他的設定選項是提供給進階使用者的.

Great it works on wifi !(在wifi)上使用

Yes you can place calls now whenever your have your smartphone connected to your home wifi or any (unrestricted) public wifi.

當你的手機串連到wifi的時候你也可以發起會話.

Some people say that it's also working on 3G but not for me...(有些使用者說可以在3G網路上使用,為什麼我的不行呢?)

You first need to make sure you are allowed to use VoIP with your 3G connection, check your contract with your mobile operator. Some mobile operators have clauses to forbid VoIP on their network, and they then block all VoIP traffic. Despite technical solutions
exist to workaround these limitations, we do not wish to enter such a fight. We aim Linphone to be a software that innovates to solve technical problems, not legal ones.

你需要首先確定你是否可以在3G網路上使用VOIP,可以查看你和行動電信業者簽訂的合約.某些行動電信業者禁止在她們的網路上使用VOIP.儘管有些技術手段可以突破他們的限制,但是我們並不想這樣做.我們希望Linphone的目標是解決技術問題,而不是法律問題.

Linphone.org thinks it is not fair to offer such restricted internet access. We hope this is a temporary situation: more and more mobile operators choose to open their 3G network to VoIP.

我們認為電訊廠商這種限制網際網路訪問的做法對於使用者並不公平.我們希望這隻是一種臨時的情況,而且也希望越來越多的行動電信業者會開放他們的3G網路給VOIP.
