Nokia E65

Nokia E65 is a nice quad band slider phone with Bluetooth, WiFi support and also a VoIP client built in. This phone is a Symbian S60 3rd edition, so it cannot be used (at least not yet) as a mobile orbiter, but it can be used as a VoIP cordless with Asterisk.

To do so the steps are:

1. go to LMCE admin site and go to Advanced ->Configuration -> Phones setup (this launches AMP)
2. add a new SIP extension, defining a new extension number and a password (secret). Leave all other settings unmodified
3. configure your phone with your home wireless access point and make sure that phone can navigate. By default it will ask for a DHCP leased IP, so it will be hooked to the 192.168.80.* subnet
4. go to Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> Connections -> SIP settings and create e new profile with the following config:
   1. Profile Name : name of your choice
   2. Service profile : IETF
   3. Default access point : your access point
   4. Public user name : sip:userid@192.168.80.1 (where userid should be the ext number you defined earlier in AMP)
   5. Use compression : no
   6. Registration : always on
   7. Use security : no
   8. Proxy Server
      1. Proxy server address : sip:192.168.80.1
      2. Realm : asterisk
      3. User name : userid
      4. Password : userpass
      5. Allow loose routing : yes
      6. Transport type : UDP
      7. Port : 5060
   9. Registrar server
      1. Registrar serv. addr. : sip:192.168.80.1
      2. Realm : none
      3. User name : userid
      4. Password : none
      5. Transport type : UDP
      6. Port : 5060

If everything is ok, when exiting from this newly created profile back to SIP profile list a label "Registered" appears within few seconds under new SIP profile entry.

This means that E65 has successfully registered with Asterisk server.

To make a test call it is now necessary to go to Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> Connections -> Internet tel. settings and create a new Internet tel. profile choosing to use the SIP profile previously defined.

To place a call via Asterisk it is necessary to compose number, press Option button (do NOT press green button, as the call would be placed via GSM/UMTS) and select Call -> Internet call

Call will then be routed according to Asterisk dialplan
