Come utilizzare il servizio
di audioconferenza
Il sistema di audioconferenza puo’ essere utilizzato in due modalita’:
1) Collegamento singolo. Si utilizza l’apparecchio per audioconferenza che si ha a disposizione come un normale telefono vivavoce, chiamando direttamente il numero della persona con sui si deve avere la conversazione telefonica oppure facendosi chiamare da questa. E’ bene tener presente che in questa modalita’ potra’ connettersi all’audioconferenza un solo utente e che il costo della chiamata sara’ uguale a quello di una normale telefonata (urbana o internazionale).
2) Audioconferenza. E' possibile richiedere al CNAF una conference room inviando una e-mail a mcuadmin@infn.it (preferibile) o chiamando telefonicamente le seguente persone:
Stefano Zani +39 0516092749 Alessadro Italiano +39 0516092751 Marco Bencivenni +39 0516092869
Potranno essere assegnate due tipi di conference room, una temporanea (per audioconferenze occasionali) e una permanente (per audioconferenze periodiche). E’ possibile collegarsi ad una audioconferenza in due modalita’:
1) Utilizzando un normale telefono e chiamando il numero 06 62288548. Con questa modalita’ il costo della chiamata sara’ pari ad una telefonata urbana.
2) Utilizzando un cliente software/hardware e configurando in pochi passi un sip/iax client. In questa modalita’ la chiamata sara’ gratuita.
Le istruzioni per la configurazione di un sip/iax client sono disponibili al seguente link:
A soft phone is an IP telephone in software. It can be installed on a personal computer and function as an IP phone. Soft phones require appropriate audio hardware to be present on the personal computer they run. This can either be a sound card with speakers or earphones and a microphone, or, alternatively a USB phone set. Soft phones are inferior to hard phones but cheaper to obtain, many are available as a free download.
Personally, I suggest to use: X-Lite for Window Sjphone for Linux
An Ethernet hard phone is a self contained IP telephone that looks just like a conventional phone but instead of a conventional phone jack, it has an Ethernet port through which it communicates directly with a VoIP server, VoIP gateway or another VoIP phone. Since a broadband hard phone communicates directly with a VoIP server, VoIP gateway or another VoIP phone it does not require any personal computer nor any software running on a personal computer to make or receive VoIP phone calls. It can be used independently, all that is required is an internet connection. While PC based software solutions are cheaper, a hard phone is the best solution for IP telephony.
A low impact solution is rapresentad by Analog Telephone Adapters, better noted as ATA. Read here
Market offers also:
Cordless Hard Phones with IP interface on their base station.
WLAN or WiFi Phones are hard phones with a built-in WiFi transceiver unit instead of an Ethernet port to connect to a WiFi base station and from there to a remote VoIP server Other info here

IAX is the Inter-Asterisk eXchange protocol used by Asterisk, an open source PBX server from Digium. It is used to enable VoIP connections between Asterisk servers, and between servers and clients that also use the IAX protocol.
If you want understand more, start to read here
In few words, IAX2 is better than SIP because:
IAX2 uses just one UDP port, 4569 (this solve most of the NAT problems)
1.
IAX2 supports PKI-style authentication and trunking. 2.
IAX2 uses only 2.4k for a single call 3.
I recommend:
IDEFisk: A Windows and Linux softphone from asteriskguru.com

Download and lunch it.
Configure it following this screenshot 1. Just lunched
2. Open the Option Menu by Right Clicking on Idefisk 3. Select "Account Options" and fill the camp.
