BeyondRing IP is an internet telephony service which allows a user to make calls over the internet using an ATA device (Analogue Telephone Adaptor) or an IP Phone equipped with a built in Modem. Most ATA devices using SIP or H323 that are available in the marketplace will work with BeyondRing. The ATA device must be connected to the internet and most are easily configured to the BeyondRing service (see FAQ section 5). 

BeyondRing IP is a cost effective way to make calls from anywhere you have an internet connection. Once an ATA device (SIP or H323) is configured with your BeyondRing SIP/H323 username and password, it can be used to call anywhere in the world at extremely low rates (see rates section on BeyondRing merchant site for more information).  

VoIP is 'Voice over Internet Protocol', often referred to as IP telephony is a way of routing a voice conversation over the internet or through an IP based network. It is quite simply a way of utilizing the Internet for telephone conversations. The primary motivations for doing so are cost and convenience as VoIP is significantly less expensive than typical telephone long distance calls.

SIP stands for Session Initiation Protocol. In IP and traditional telephony, there is a clear distinction between two different phases of a voice call. The first phase is "call setup," and makes two telephones connect so one may talk to each other. Once the call has been setup, the phones enter a "data transfer" phase using an entirely different family of protocols to actually move the voice packets between the two phones. In the VoIP world, SIP is a call setup protocol that operates on the application layer.  

H323 is the Inter-Asterisk eXchange protocol used by Asterisk, an open source PBX server from Digium. In IP and traditional telephony, there is a clear distinction between two different phases of a voice call. The first phase is "call setup," and makes two telephones connect so one may talk to each other. Once the call has been setup, the phones enter a "data transfer" phase using an entirely different family of protocols to actually move the voice packets between the two phones. In the VoIP world, H323 is a call setup protocol that operates on the application layer.  

QoS stands for “Quality of Service”. Some broadband connections may have less than desirable quality. Where IP packets are lost or delayed at any point in the network between VoIP users, there will be a momentary drop-out of voice. This is more noticeable in highly congested networks and/or where there is long distances and/or interworking between end points. “REF: Wikipedia”. This can often be solved by marking the QOS button in the configuration of an ATA device. NOTE: In order to get maximum effect of QoS he device should be connected directly to the modem and not via a hub or secondary router.  

If you are both using the SIP protocol you may talk to each other. By entering 100 and your friends BeyondRing account name or number you can talk f to each other as long as you are both online.  

BeyondRing supports this as well, however, please refer to the user manual of your device for configuration. However, same configurations for BeyondRing service as described in section seven above applies.  

BeyondRing supports multiple CODEC’S, but you should use G729 or g723. If this is not available in your device then use the following in this order: ULAW, GSM.  

The BeyondRing service will give various error codes in the event of a problem. If the problem persists please contact BeyondRing Support, describing your error code.  

The hash key in the end of a number tells the BeyondRing server that you have entered all the digits in a telephone numbers and sends the call to the server faster. It is not needed, but can sometime server to get the call set-up faster.
