Ekiga is the default Internet telephony (VoIP) application in Ubuntu. It allows you to make audio and video calls with suspend, transfer and redirection over the Internet to remote users who have hardware or software that is compliant with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_Initiation_Protocol SIP] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.323 H.323] standards. Ekiga also features simple instant messaging. Ekiga supports many audio and video codecs, and is compatible with Windows Messenger and most VoIP applications. Unfortunately Ekiga is not compatible with Skype or Google Talk due to the proprietary nature of those applications. If you have the right SIP provider you can also use Ekiga to make calls to any normal phone line. Ekiga can also work through firewalls with STUN. |

Ekiga is the default Internet telephony (VoIP) application in Ubuntu. It lets you make audio and video calls with suspend, transfer and redirection over the Internet to people who have hardware or software that follows the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_Initiation_Protocol SIP] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.323 H.323] standards. Ekiga also features simple instant messaging.
Ekiga supports many audio and video codecs, and is compatible with Windows Messenger and most VoIP applications. Unfortunately Ekiga is not compatible with Skype or Google Talk due to the proprietary nature of those applications. If you have the right SIP provider, you can also use Ekiga to make calls to any normal phone line. Ekiga can also work through firewalls with STUN.
General documentation is available from the [http://wiki.ekiga.org/ Ekiga wiki]

Interoperability
Ekiga can be used under GNU/Linux or [http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Windows_Users Windows]. For Mac OS, you can use the free software [http://xmeeting.sourceforge.net/pages/index.php xmeeting].
Ekiga is compatible with Netmeeting (H.323, windows), Windows Messenger (SIP, Windows, [http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Connecting_Windows_Messenger_5.1_to_ekiga.net how to configure Windows Messenger for ekiga.net]), [:Gizmo:Gizmo] (SIP, multi-platform), and [http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Which_programs_work_with_Ekiga_%3F other programs listed on the Ekiga wiki].

The following process uses non-official repositories. They've been made by the Ekiga team, but we do not have enough ressources to support them. Thus, if you run into trouble, you'll be on your own. The main reason you'll upgrade is the version shipped with Ubuntu is more than 1 year old (2.0.3 at best); many bug fixes have been contributed since (2.0.9). |

When upgrading the package list you'll get a warning about a public key and PGP as our packages aren't signed. This won't prevent you from upgrading to version 2.0.9. |
First use
When you start Ekiga for the first time, a 10 step wizard will help you to correctly configure Ekiga. It is strongly recommended that you complete the wizard.
When you're done and if you have an account on [http://ekiga.net ekiga.net], you can call the echo test: sip:500@ekiga.net. You'll be able to check if you can reach the service (the SIP network), if your sound setup is ok (you can hear yourself with a delay) and if your webcam works (you can see yourself).
How to set up an Ekiga.net account
Once you're registered in [http://ekiga.net ekiga.net], go to menu Edit -> Accounts -> Add
Account name: |
"ekiga.net” or whatever you wish |
Registrar: |
ekiga.net |
User: |
Your nick chosen on ekiga.net |
Password: |
Your password chosen on ekiga.net |
Configuration
This section covers the configuration of Ekiga.
Network
Ekiga is able to use a STUN server. In most cases everything should work fine, even behind a NAT firewall.
However, for advanced users or complex setups, here is the list of ports used by Ekiga:
Protocol |
Port |
Type of port |
Description |
SIP |
5000 to 5100 |
UDP |
Signalisation SIP, listen port: 5060 |
STUN |
3478 to 3479 |
UDP |
Outgoing traffic to STUN servers |
H323 |
1720 |
TCP |
Listen port |
H323 |
5000 to 5100 |
UDP |
gatekeepers H.323 |
H323 |
30000 to 30010 |
TCP |
Canal H.245 for old implementations H.323 (Netmeeting) |
Several Ekigas on a LAN
There are several programs which allow copies of Ekiga to communicate with each other; you can use a SIP proxy (like [http://siproxd.sourceforge.net/ Siproxd]) or a PBX (like [http://www.asterisk.org/ Asterisk]. Further information about Ekiga and Asterisk can be found on the [http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Main_Page Ekiga wiki]), or you can use [:HowToZeroconf:Avahi].
Avahi
Avahi is the main implementation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroconf ZeroConf protocol] under GNU/Linux (known as Rendezvous or Bonjour on Mac OS X). This technology allows automatic discovery of services.
To set up Avahi, please follow the [:HowToZeroconf:Zeroconf Howto].
Other copies of Ekiga on the LAN should appear in the Address Book (third button on the left) if you double-click on Contacts Near Me.
Sound
This section is about testing and changing the sound configuration in Ekiga.
Test your computer
To check if your computer meets the requirements for Ekiga, try this command in a terminal:
$ arecord -D plughw:0,0 -c 1 -r 8000 -f S16_LE - | aplay -D plughw:0,0 -c 1 -r 8000 -f S16_LE -
Now, speak into your microphone. You should be able to hear yourself in your headset with a small delay (approximately half a second). If it doesn't work as expected, first try to configure ALSA:
$ alsamixer
Make sure your microphone is not muted and the volume levels are OK.
Ekiga and other audio applications
Ekiga is capable of running simultaneously with other sound applications (like music and video players). The following directions should be enough to accomplish this if you are using Ubuntu 6.06:
From the Edit menu, choose Preferences → Devices → Audio Devices.
Select "ALSA" as the audio plugin
Select "Default" as output
Select "Default" as input
Then, from the Edit menu, choose Preferences → General → Sound Events. Select "Default" as alternate device output.
[http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Getting_several_applications_using_the_sound_card_at_the_same_time_%3F Ekiga's wiki More about running Ekiga with other audio applications]
Webcam
Ekiga does not require a webcam.
- [:Webcam How to set up a webcam]
Choosing the right kernel API
The Linux kernel has two ways to communicate with video devices, the old v4l and the new v4l2. It's best to use v4l2, but some drivers only support v4l.
From the Edit menu, choose Preferences → Devices → Video device.
Try "v4l2” or "v4l” as video plugin
Choosing the right video device
If you have several video devices (like a TV card and a webcam) you will need to tell Ekiga which one to use:
From the Edit menu, choose Preferences → Devices → Video device. Change the channel number until you find the right one.
Test your webcam
To test your webcam, click the fourth of the six icons (a grey round webcam) on the left side of the main Ekiga window. If eveything is ok, you'll see the output of the webcam. If not, you'll see the Ekiga logo bouncing slowly.
Ekiga.net services
Ekiga.net is a free service (no ads) based upon Free Software (SER and Asterisk). The Ekiga team maintains it.
Echo service
Once you're registered to http://ekiga.net, you can test your setup and line quality by dialing the echo service: sip:500@ekiga.net.
This service only works with PCMA or iLBC audio codecs, and the H.261 video codec.
Audio conference server
If you are using ekiga.net as your VoIP provider, you can access a conference server via the aliases
sip:501@ekiga.net to join the public conference room
sip:501XXXX@ekiga.net where XXXX is the number of your choice representing the number of the room.
[For example, a group of friends could meet in conference room 1122 by dialing sip:5011122@ekiga.net]
Using 501xxxx, you'll be asked for a "PIN number": dialing a number you can protect the access to your conference room or just dialing # will make this conference public.
How to place a call to other SIP providers (peering)
Peering is the term given to agreement between VoIP Service Providers which enables the users of one service to call users of another.
This is usually implemented by dialing a special prefix number and then the number of the receipitant (on the 'other' service).
With Ekiga.net, you can use [http://www.sipbroker.com/sipbroker/action/providerWhitePages SipBroker prefixes].
Here are some exemples of prefixes:
Prefix |
Registrar |
Description |
*282 |
sip.broadvoice.com |
Broadvoice, do not work actually (2007 july) |
*747 |
proxy01.sipphone.com |

sip1.voipbuster.com |
Voipbuster |
*551 |
sip.internetcalls.com |

*248 |
voip.wengo.fr |

You can also use the special prefix *013 to place a call using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_Number_Mapping Enum]. As prefixes do not have a standard, Enum tries to solve this situation.
Some numbers you can dial using Ekiga.net:
Number |
Description |
