Yealink vs. Entega MediaNet
My impression is that in Germany the standard router brand is FritzBox! These routers have also analogue phone sockets, so analogue phones can still be used even if Deutsche Telecom upgraded all lines to IP phone (SIP). I wanted to use my own router, which has no analogue phone connectors. So we bought an IP phone: the Yealink T41. It took some time to make it work, e.g. in the first step I set up SIP client on the PC, to see if, what and how it works, and then tried to set up the same on the phone.
But it works now, so here are the settings for future reference.
Account settings:
- Label: the local phone number (without prefix)
- Display Name: empty
- Register Name: full phone number starting with the land prefix: 49606…
- Username: the same as the Register Name
- Password: the one provided by Entega MediaNet
- Server Host: voip.entega-medianet.de Port: 5060
- Transport: UDP
Network settings:
- To be on the safe side IPv4 only
- DHCP
- NAT: everything is disabled (Manual NAT, ICE, STUN, TURN)
However, as it is a private network behind the router, on the router I also had to change a setting:
- SIP ALG (application level gateway): enabled
Running Viber on Debian 10
Usually I work, browse, email on a PC and not on a smartphone. However I use viber and I had it only on the phone. As there is a PC version, I thought I give it a try. On the download page there is of course the windows version, but there are also two packages for linux: one .deb for Ubuntu and .rpm for Fedora. I tried to install the .deb, but it has some dependencies on an older libssl. So what I did, I just unpacked it with
dpkg -x viber.deb out/
and then manually moved to /opt. When trying to start I got some error message that I could not interpret, but using strace to figure out, what was going on, I saw that some libraries were missing. Installing them solved the issue:
apt-get install libxcb-icccm4 libxcb-image0 libxcb-keysyms1 libxcb-randr0 libxcb-render-util0 libxcb-xkb1 libxkbcommon-x11-0
Now it runs, and seems to be working.
