2.3.
Manual port forwarding, if the modem router at
the system site does not support UPnP
In order to use the app off-site, outside the range of the Local Area Network (LAN), the app must be able to register with the system across the company modem router firewall.
If the SIP ports of the modem router are not open by default and if the modem router does not support UPnP, the appropriate WAN ports on the modem router Gateway must be forwarded manually by accessing the modem router Gateway browser programming.
UDP packets, typically on WAN ports 50000 to 50479 of the Gateway, should be forwarded to the local IP address of the PBX system, in the case of the Opera 240 (ports 50000 to 50031 in the case of the Opera 20 IP). TCP packets on port 5075 and packets on browser port 7000 on the Gateway should also be forwarded to the system port 80.

Program the voice path, GSM or VoiP
The system can be programmed to set up the voice path for calls to and from the app using
either the GSM network or the VoIP network. The IP data network (e.g. 3G or WiFi) is
always used by the app for call control and management. The system manager programs
GSM or VoIP for the voice path for each user, on the Fixed Mobile Service page.
The GSM numbers of the users handsets must be entered on this page in the GSM Number
column to allow calls via the app to use the GSM network.
DM 1072 Page 11

Note the user’s IP registration name and PIN
The Android softphone App can now be registered on the Opera system using the user’s IP registration name and registration PIN. These can be found on the IP Phone Registration page under User Settings.Android App Installation
