So you’ve got a shiny new Nokia E61, E70, N80 or something like that, and you want to connect it to your Asterisk server, eh? No problem. This is an update to an old blog posting. What’s updated? Now it covers the recently released PR3 software for the E-series devices.

Before starting, get yourself a SIP extension configured. In my case, I used extension 250, but that’s not really all that important.

So, get your phone talking to your WLAN first. Make a connection for it too, not just using the “Easy WLAN” connection profile. It’s under Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Access points.

Next, go to Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > SIP settings. Hit the options menu and Add New, using the default profile. Here come the settings:

• Profile Name: [whatever you feel like]
• Service Profile: IETF
• Default access point: [the access point you defined earlier]
• Public user name: sip:[extension]@ip.addr.of.asterisk
• Use compression: No
• Registration: Up to you – if you want to be registered all the time, do “Always on”.
• Use security: No

Under the Proxy server menu:

• Proxy server address: sip:ip.addr.of.asterisk
• Realm: asterisk (or another realm if you configured it)
• User name: [extension]
• Password: [secret value of extension]
• Allow loose routing: Yes
• Transport type: Auto
• Port: 5060

Under the Registrar server menu:

• Regisrar serv. addr.: sip:asterisk
• Transport type: Auto
• Port: 5060

Now your SIP settings are complete. Next, go to Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Internet tel. settings.

Make a new profile, name it whatever you like, and choose the SIP profile you created above.

Blammo, now you can make calls over IP. Rather than hitting the call button, hit the joystick, and and choose Internet Call from the Call menu. If you want to change the default Call Type from Cellular to Internet Call, go to Tools >Settings > Call > Default Call Type.
