Configuring FortiVoice™ for Gamma VoIP service Introduction This guide will show you how to set up a service provider profile, change codec options (if necessary), and VoIP numbers for Gamma VoIP service. When you start an account with Gamma, they will provide you with account activation information. Use this information to activate Gamma service, and to set up the service provider profile and VoIP numbers on your FortiVoice system. See the “VoIP Information” section of the FortiVoice User Guide for instructions on how to connect your system to a network, set up IP addresses, configure the router, set up line hunt groups, set up VoIP caller ID and reserve VoIP lines.
Setting up a service provider profile A service provider profile contains the settings that allow your FortiVoice to register with the provider. 1. Select the VoIP Configuration page.
2. Select a Profile (SP 1 to SP 4) that you wish to assign for use with Gamma. 3. Select the Activate Profile checkbox. 4. In the Service Provider pull-down menu, select Gamma as the Profile name. 5. Click the Update Configuration button. The essential settings for communication with the service provider’s servers will be completed automatically.

Setting codec options (if necessary) A codec is a method of compressing and decompressing audio signals for communication across a network. FortiVoice supports the G.729 and G.711 (µ-law or A-law) codecs for VoIP calls. If your service provider or equipment requires specific codecs for VoIP or Fax over IP calls, you can restrict FortiVoice to use the required codec. The Additional Settings button opens a window where you will find the codec options at the bottom. This section allows you to select the codecs your system can use, specify the preferred codec, and clear the unsupported codecs. You can specify the codecs for each service provider profile.
The following codecs are supported by the service provider: • G.729 — This codec provides good quality. It requires the least bandwidth and accommodates the highest number of concurrent calls. • G.711A — This codec provides high quality and supports Fax over IP. It requires the most bandwidth and accommodates the fewest number of concurrent calls. G.711A is used worldwide outside North America and Japan. • G.711A is set as the Preferred codec. • Voice activity detection (VAD) — This is disabled by default, as it is not recommended for this service.

Setting up a line hunt group Ensure that Hunt group 9 is assigned to the group of telephone lines or VoIP trunks used to call emergency services.
Set up a line hunt group for Gamma, as described in the “VoIP Information” section of the FortiVoice User Guide. The configuration has nine different line hunt groups. For all FortiVoice units, line hunt group 88 uses multi-branch VoIP by default, and the other line hunt groups use telephone lines. You can modify these default settings as required. If you are using multiple service provider VoIP networks, set up a line hunt group for each service provider. FortiVoice recommends the use of the line hunt group’s Busy Overflow feature for failover to telephone lines and protection against SIP trunk failure (for example, loss of broadband access).
Saving settings To transfer settings from your computer to the FortiVoice system, choose File > Save. A window appears indicating the configuration is being sent. 1. Select the VoIP Configuration or VoIP Numbers page. 2. Click View All Registrations. The Registration Status window appears with a list of VoIP numbers, their registration status, and the number of seconds until their registrations with the SIP server will expire. This confirms that the VoIP numbers are registered with the service provider. 3. Choose All Registered Numbers or an active profile (e.g. Gamma). 4. Ensure the status of the VoIP numbers/account(s) is Registered.
