Need help configuring Dvg-g1402s

[tyanney]

Need help setting up DVG-G1402S e-mailed CS and they told me they could not help me because it was a BYOD.

Any Help would be appreciated.

Attached is the settings window (pay no attentions to the values set i was trying everything)

Not only is there a server configuration option on the D-Link, but many other SIP Configuration options under the VoIP button - including:

Server Configuration
Provisioning
STUN Configuration
User Agent
Peer to Peer
Telephony
Speed Dial
Misc
Manage Features
Supplementary Service

I don't even know where to begin! Anyone out there who can help get me started? I'd like to switch from my softphone to taking calls directly through the router.

However, that picture is really too poor of a quality to view/read, so it's not of much help. For making a viewable/readable document that uses very little bandwidth (relative to the size of a simple picture of that document), here's a little "trick" I've used in the past:

1) First take your image (in this case your screen capture) and past it into your favorite graphics program.

2) "Crop" the image, so you are only including the parts of the image that are useful to be able to read. This throws away parts of the image you don't need.

3) Raise the "contrast" on the image as much as you can, without having the image start to have too many artifacts (blotches of dots) on it. Yes, this will distort the colors, but you are trying to be readable here, not have good colors. This will usually lower the number of individual colors in the image, and get you ready for the next step (below).

4) Tell your graphics program to lower the number of colors recorded in the image to at most 256 colors (and 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, and even 2 colors should also be considered). If your image program has an option to NOT "dither" when it lowers the number of colors, use that option (because you would rather have the lowering of colors software choose the closest color to what it's replacing, instead of "dither" and therefore add dot patterns to your image). For example, the small graphics program I often use for this, has a "dithering" option checkbox on by default (when I bring up the color pallet drop-down option) and I have to manually uncheck it.

NOTE: The smaller number you can use for the color pallet here, the more you will save in file size (but also the more color you loose, so it's a trade off here). I have actually gone down as far as only 2 colors (i.e. black and white) when I'm just concerned about the text of the image. But if I'm actually trying to keep a picture viewable, I usually pick 256 (which still often makes the "picture" portion of the image look bad, but at least 256 preserves being able to view the "picture" at all). In the case of the image of your adapter, I think 16 colors (1/2 the file size used by 256 colors) might be a good compromise.

5) Finally, save the image as a *.GIF file. This is important, as *.GIF (also a compressed file format) does NOT distort "line drawings" (such as the text you are trying to read), whereas the *.JPG format you used will often make text unreadable! Yes, *.JPG is a great file format for just viewing the picture AS A PICTURE. But if your goal is to make it easy to view the TEXT in the picture, you are much better off with the older *.GIF file format (because the compression built into *.JPG will often distort those vary visual clues needed to read the text in the image, whereas *.GIF just compresses the colors not the outline of the image itself)!

If you do this right, your resulting image, while looking quite different than your original, will be a small fraction of your original image size, but still quite readable.

Did you ever get help configuring your DVG-1402S? I have the same router and am having the same problem.

[tyanney]

I never figured out how to get it working i had a RT31P2 that magically started working again. So the DVG has been sitting on the shelf

I finally got my DVG-1402 to work! Some of these settings were defaulted to on my router, and some were probably leftover from failed configuration attempts, but I'm going to include everything from my screens here.

I didn't do anything here, but there were some router defaults set.



I hope this helps you out. I'm definitely NOT a VOIP guru, and trial and error and a little reading helped me figure this out. The only other important thing to remember is to UNREGISTER your softphone if you have it registered. You can't usually (although I've done it) be registered in 2 separate places.

Good luck! And, if any gurus read this and can give guidance as to why its working and what's not needed.....THANKS!
