Name : Give it anything you like
Number: Your Gizmo number
Phone Type: Make sure you select Gizmo
————————————————————————————

Once you click on “Save”, you will see a popup window with the verification code.

With your Gizmo softphone running, click “Connect” on the popup window and it will call your Gizmo number. Answer the call on your Gizmo softphone and enter in the verification code when prompt.

2. Configure SIP Sorcery account

Dial Plan Name: name it anything you like
Script Type: Ruby
————————————————————————————

Copy and paste the dial plan script from Norske.
Change the “Area=” to your area code and the “Tz=” to your timezone.
The other things you need to edit from the script are the line under “GoogleVoice” section: sys.GoogleVoiceCall(‘GV username@gmail.com’,'GV password’,’1747#######’,@num,’.*’,7)

GV username: Your Google Voice account name
GV password: Your password
#######: The rest of your Gizmo number
————————————————————————————

In the script, you can add speed dial numbers among other things but I will not go into details here, refer to the article link above. Click on “Update” to save your dial plans.

**Notice that your Google Voice account password is in plain text and if you think you’ll lose sleep over this, then I suggest you create a new Gmail account and request Google to transfer your GV number over to it. This way your main email account is not exposed to hackers. Here is the link to request the number transfer. It took Google one day to transfer my number. Yes, I was losing sleep over this.

Request to allow Google Voice account transfer

Username: Your SIP Sorcery username
Password: Your password
Out Dial Plan: Click the drop down box and select the plan you created
In Dial Plan: Leave it blank
Keep Alives: Checked
Network ID: Leave it blank
IP Address ACL: Leave it blank

3. Configure your Cisco ATA device to make and receive calls on cordless phone

If you are connecting your ATA to the network for the first time, follow the instructions below. The instructions is taken from the Cisco ATA administrator guides.

Using the Voice Configuration Menu

To manually configure the Cisco ATA by using the voice configuration menu and the telephone keypad, perform the following steps:

Procedure

If you have one sitting on the shelf collecting dust and don’t remember the password, you can reset your Cisco ATA to factory default values. To perform a factory reset, you must use the voice configuration menu and follow these steps:

Procedure
——————————————————————————–
Step 1 Press the function button on the Cisco ATA.

Step 2 Press the digits 322873738 (FACTRESET) then press # on your telephone keypad.

Step 3 Press * on your telephone keypad to confirm that you want to reset the Cisco ATA, then hang up the phone.
——————————————————————————–

Once you have your network values set, you can access the configuration menu through your web browser. The IP address of my ATA is 192.168.1.103. I type in the browser URL, http://192.168.1.103/dev to access the ATA configuration menu.

The parameters you need to enter are:

UID0: SIP Sorcery Username
PWD0: SIP Sorcery Password
GkOrProxy: sipsorcery.com
SIPRegOn: 1
SIPPort: 5060 (**Need to open this port)
OutBoundProxy: sipsorcery.com
MediaPort: 16384 (**Need to open this port)
NatServer: stun01.sipphone.com:3478
————————————————————————————

Click on “Apply” at the bottom and then click on “[Click here to reload]” link at the top.

Log on to your SIP Sorcery account and check to make sure your SIP account binds to your Cisco ATA device and your SIP provider binds to Gizmo successfully. If they are, pick up your phone and you should hear dial tone.

To dial out, you can either dial 1-(area code)-number-# or just (area code)-number-#.

If you have problems dialing (fast busy or one way audio), make sure you have ports 5060 and 16384 open to your ATA device. Instructions on how to forward ports can be found here.

Happy Dialing!!!
