<para><application>Ekiga</application> e свободна програма за аудио/видео конференции за Линукс и другите свободни Unix-подобни (примерно BSD или MacOSX). Написана е от Damien Sandras и е лицензирана под GNU/GPL лиценза.</para>

<para>
Ekiga is able to use modern Voice over IP protocols like SIP, and H.323. It supports all major features defined by those protocols like <emphasis>call hold</emphasis>, <emphasis>call transfer</emphasis>, <emphasis>call forwarding</emphasis>, ... It also supports basic <emphasis>instant messaging</emphasis>, and has advanced support for <emphasis>NAT traversal</emphasis>.
Ekiga supports the best <emphasis>free</emphasis> audio and video codecs, and has wideband support for a superior audio quality, together with echo cancellation.
</para>

<para><title>SIP and H.323</title></para>
<para>
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a protocol developed by the IETF MMUSIC Working Group and proposed standard for initiating, modifying, and terminating an interactive user session that involves multimedia elements such as video, voice, instant messaging, online games, and virtual reality. In November 2000, SIP was accepted as a 3GPP signaling protocol and permanent element of the IMS architecture. It is one of the leading signalling protocols for Voice over IP.
</para>

<para>
H.323 was originally created to provide a mechanism for transporting multimedia applications over LANs but it has rapidly evolved to address the growing needs of VoIP networks. One strength of H.323 was the relatively early availability of a set of standards, not only defining the basic call model, but in addition the supplementary services, needed to address business communication expectations. H.323 was the first VoIP standard to adopt the IETF standard RTP to transport audio and video over IP networks. H.323 is based on the ISDN Q.931 protocol and is suited for interworking scenarios between IP and ISDN, respectively between IP and QSIG. A call model, similar to the ISDN call model, eases the introduction of IP Telephony into existing networks of ISDN based PBX systems.

When starting <application>Ekiga</application> for the first time the configuration assistant will show automatically. The Configuration Assistant is a step-by-step questionnaire that will guide you through all the steps involved in creating the basic configuration you will need to operate <application>Ekiga</application>.
You should go through all of these steps properly, otherwise the assistant will re-appear (when it has not been completed) or <application>Ekiga</application> will not function appropriately (if some of your answers have not been correct).
You may run the Configuration Assistant at any time from the Edit menu.

<application>Ekiga</application> supports several audio and video codecs. It includes codecs with excellent quality as well as codecs with medium to good quality. The higher the quality of a codec, the more bandwidth it requires. Moreover, video codecs can adapt their quality to the available bandwidth. This option is necessary in the initial configuration of <application>Ekiga</application> so that it chooses the optimal codec suited to your network connection and so that it adjusts the video quality settings.
If your connection type is not mentioned in the list you should select the one closest to your network connection and adjust <application>Ekiga</application> manually with the preferences window (codecs section) later on.

<application>Ekiga</application> is able to associate speed dials with URLs using the address book. You can thus for example associate the speed dial <emphasis>1</emphasis> to the URL <emphasis>sip:600000@ekiga.net</emphasis>. That speed dial can then be used as URL. For example, calling <emphasis>sip:1#</emphasis> will call <emphasis>sip:600000@ekiga.net</emphasis> provided that both are associated together in the address book.

<sect2 id="ekiga-video-bandwidth">
<title>Controlling the Video Bandwidth</title>

<para><application>Ekiga</application> is using a best-effort algorithm to maintain a low bandwidth when transmitting video. You can adjust the video quality settings following you prefer to have a good frame rate, or a good picture quality. It will permit <application>Ekiga</application> to dynamically adjust the video bandwidth and the number of transmitted images per second during a call while trying to respect the requested video bandwidth.</para>

<para>Notice that the algorithm is a best-effort algorithm, which means that if you specify too low video bandwidth settings, it can be impossible to respect them. However, if the video bandwidth permits to transmit with a better quality, or faster than the requested values, then <application>Ekiga</application> will dynamically increase them so that the quality and the framerate are always the best possible.</para>

<para>Избирането на повече кадри в секунда и по-ниско качество ще има същите резултати, ако говорим за заемане на мрежата, както и избирането на високо качество и малко на брой кадри в секунда. Зависи дали предпочитате да предавате повече изображения с ниско качество или по-малко с добро.</para>

<sect2 id="ekiga-audio-codecs">
<title>Managing Codecs</title>
<graphic fileref="figures/audio_codecs.png"/>

<para><title>Аудио кодеци</title></para>
<para>
The <application>Ekiga</application> audio codecs table in the preferences permits you to change the codecs order as well as disabling the codecs you don't want to use. Each codec has strong and weak points. For example, G.711 will give the best voice quality but will use the most bandwidth while SPEEX will give an average voice quality but requiring a very low bandwidth usage. Notice that there are two versions of SPEEX, one of them is SPEEX WideBand. You can see that to the 16 kHz clock rate.</para>

<para><title>Пренареждане на кодеците</title></para>
<para>Когато пренареждате кодеците, пренареждате локалната таблица за възможностите, тоест кодеците, които ще използвате за изпращане. Винаги ще изпращате звук, използвайки първия кодек в таблицата, който е общ с отдалечения потребител. Отдалечения потребител ще предава звук, използвайки първия кодек в неговата таблица, който е общ с Ваш.</para>

<para><title>Принуждаване да се използва определен кодек</title></para>
<para>Може да принудите използването на специфичен кодек, като изключите всички останали, но това ще се прояви в пропаднали разговори, ако отдалечения потребител не позволява специфични кодеци. Най-добрия вариант е да сложите предпочитаните си кодеци на върха на списъка, така че винаги ще ги изпращате, ако отдалечения потребител го позволи и да изключите кодеците, които не искате да използват за предаване и приемане.</para>

<para><title>Adjusting the jitter buffer</title></para>
<para>Може да настройвате забавянето при изпълнението на звука, който получавате, като използвате различни настройки за защитния буфер. Ако има прекалено много загуба на пакети, нужното забавяне за получаване на всички пакети е толкова важно, че да надвишава защитния буфер. В такъв случай, звукът който получавате ще бъде с лошо качество. Решение на този проблем ще бъде да се увеличи максималния лимит на защитни буфер, до няколко секунди, проявявайки се в голямо забавяне, но подобрено качество на звука. Забележете, че защитния буфер ще се реадаптира сам към най-малкото збавяне, което позволява оптимално предаване и че лошото качество на звука не се дължи на малък защитен буфер, а на лоша Интернет връзка.</para>

<sect2 id="ekiga-defining-ports">
<title>Changing Ports</title>

<para><title>The listen ports</title></para>
<para>
The main port listening for incoming connections in <application>Ekiga</application> for SIP is port 5060 (UDP), while 1720 (TCP) is used by H.323. To change those ports you need to load "gconf-editor". Open gconf-editor, select apps from the left hand side menu and then select <application>Ekiga</application>. Then select "sip" or "h323", it should give you a list in the corresponding window to your right. Select listen_port and change it to your desired value. You can also change the UDP/RTP port ranges.
</para>

<para><title>Explanation of the port ranges</title></para>

<para>1. The "listen_port" value is the port <application>Ekiga</application> will listen for incoming connections on. It is different for SIP and H.323.</para>

<para>2. The "rtp_port_range" value is the range of UDP ports that <application>Ekiga</application> will use for RTP (audio and video communication channels). <application>Ekiga</application> needs to be restarted for the new values to take effect.</para>

<para>3. The "udp_port_range" value is the range of UDP ports that <application>Ekiga</application> will use for SIP signalling or when registering to H.323 gatekeepers.</para>

<para>4. The "tcp_port_range" value is the range of TCP ports beside the listen_port that <application>Ekiga</application> will use for the H.245 channel with the H.323 protocol. That port range is not used by SIP. It is not used either when H.245 Tunneling is enabled, which is in general always the case, except when calling old H.323 implementations like Netmeeting.</para>

<para><emphasis>Outbound Proxy</emphasis></para>
<para>The outbound proxy is the SIP proxy that will relay your calls. The behavior of a SIP proxy is similar to the behavior of an HTTP proxy, ie some entity that issues the requests on your behalve and proxies the streams.</para>

<para><title>Misc Settings</title></para>
<para><emphasis>Default gateway</emphasis></para>
<para>The default gateway is the H.323 gateway to use when doing calls. For example, if you are calling <emphasis>h323:123443</emphasis> with a default gateway set to <emphasis>foo</emphasis>, gateway foo will dial 123443 on your behalve. Usually, you will be registered to a gatekeeper, and gateway is not used.</para>

<para><emphasis>Forward URL</emphasis></para>
<para>The URL to which H.323 incoming calls should be forwarded if configured in the preferences.</para>

<para><title>Advanced Settings</title></para>
<para><application>Ekiga</application> permits a fine control of the H.323 settings in the Advanced H.323 Settings section of the preferences. You can enable H.245 Tunneling, Early H.245 and Fast Start.</para>

<para><emphasis>H.245 тунелиране</emphasis></para>

<para>H.245 тунелирането е капсулиране на H.245 съобщения в H.225/Q.931 съобщения (H.245 тунелиране). Ако имате firewall и включено H.245 тунелиране, има един TCP порт по-малко, който трябва да позволявате за входящи връзки.</para>

<para><emphasis>Ранен H.245</emphasis></para>

<para>Това позволява ранен H.245 в настройките и разрешава по-бързо започване на разговор.</para>

<para><emphasis>Бързо стартиране</emphasis></para>

<para>Fast Connect is a new method of call setup that bypasses some usual steps in order to make it faster. In addition to the speed improvement, Fast Connect allows the media channels to be operational before the CONNECT message is sent, which is a requirement for certain billing procedures. It was introduced in H.323 version 2.</para>
