Configuring Echo

After installation, the settings wizard will appear, where you are prompted for various pieces of information to help set up Echo successfully on your network:

Choose a name

Enter a unique name to identify this installation; if you are installing more than one instance of Echo on your network, the name you enter here will be used in the subsequent setup of your TIM Plus or TIM Enterprise server.

Network adapter

Choose the adapter that will receive SIP/SCCP and media packets from your network.

Network settings

The socket buffer value is the maximum size (in bytes) that you'd expect your network adapter to receive from your network.

(The default value of 65536 should be sufficient for most networks)

Web server settings

Setting	Description
Port	The port number that the internal web service that Echo should listen on
Username	Username required to access the Echo web service
Password	Password required to access the Echo web service

Audio settings

Setting	Description
Quality	The desired quality of audio recordings after compression. The higher the quality, the better the audio will sound but the bigger files on disk will be
Compress timeout	The amount of time (in seconds) that Echo will wait for an audio file to be compressed. Usually the default setting on 2400 seconds (40 minutes) is more than sufficient.
Folder	If you want to specify a custom folder to place finished audio files in, press this button and choose a path.

Monitor settings

Setting	Description
Packet types	The types of IP packets that you know Echo should look for when inspecting passing traffic on your network adapter. If you know for sure that your audio signal or media packets will never be TCP packets, you should deselect TCP to save CPU load; the less traffic that Echo needs to inspect, the more concurrent calls it can handle with the same hardware.
SIP port(s)	The UDP/TCP port number(s) that will be used for SIP signalling traffic on your network. Usually this is a single port (5060) but, in the case of media proxies or multiple SIP registrars on the same network segment, further ports may need to be entered here.
Cisco SCCP port	The TCP/UDP port that you expect Cisco SCCP (Skinny) packets to be transmitted on. This value is normally port 2000.
Session timeout	This value (in seconds) specifies the maximum amount of time that Echo will continue monitoring a SIP or SCCP session in the event of no traffic, before it considers the session abandoned.

When you have finished configuring Echo, press the Apply button to save the settings to disk.

To start the Echo service, press the Start button inside the Service status panel.

You can verify that the Echo service is running by connecting to its web service at: http://localhost:8080/

If you changed the Web server settings (above), the address may differ.
