Phones Pro network recommendations and setupLast updated on 03/22/2022

Learn about your recommended network options and which one to use for Phones Pro.


Things to know

  • Dialpad does not support virtual private networks (VPNs). If your company uses a VPN, set up a split tunnel and direct Dialpad traffic outside of the VPN.

  • You can use a virtual LAN (VLAN) for managing security and routing policies. You can also use a voice VLAN for security purposes. Note: You are required to set up a voice VLAN when workstations are linked together through IP phones.

  • For better voice quality, we recommend using either a high-speed DSL, cable, or fiber-optic connection with dedicated upload and download bandwidth for the voice of at least 100 kilobits/second for each voice line you plan to run.


Set wired connections

Wired connections provide the best quality experience. Your network should use cabling that meets the network speed specifications.


Set wireless connections

If you use a wireless connection, be aware of the following issues:

  • Physical obstructions

  • Channel congestion

  • Electromagnetic interference

  • Multiple Wi-Fi bandwidth frequencies

  • Type of frequency for wifi connection


Router options

Phones Pro supports network routers, switches, and firewalls. Make sure your network hardware supports the following features:

  • Quality of service (QoS)

  • Bandwidth limiting

  • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

We recommend turning off the following features:

  • Session Initiation Protocol Application Layer Gateway (SIP-ALG)

  • Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)

  • Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)

Enable QoS

For supported routers, you can configure QoS settings based on:

  • Application (RTP/SIP)

  • Application and port (RTP over UDP)

  • Destination port

  • Combination of the options listed above

FQDNs

Routing to a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) allows modern Cloud Networks flexibility for Routing, Security, System Maintenance, and remote Device management.

Dialpad uses FQDNs for:

  • Registration

  • Exchanging SIP to set up a call

  • Managing Device Firmware

  • Managing Device Configurations

  • Managing Devices remotely

Dialpad recommends the following FQDN:

  • dialpad.com

  • www.obitalk.com

  • www1.obitalk.com

  • prov.obitalk.com

  • devpfs.obitalk.com

  • storage.googleapis.com

  • ubervoice.ubervoip.net

  • turn.ubervoip.net

  • stun.l.google.com

  • uvwss.ubervoip.net

  • legacy.dialpad.com

  • dialpadcdn.com

  • static.dialpadcdn.com

  • prov*.dialpad.com

Note: You can view Dialpad's traffic flagged with Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) markings (for example, DSCP 46 = RTP Traffic).
