5.
The External Media Pool name field is already filled by the installer according to the external SIP Pool name and there is no need to change it.
6.
Set the External Public IP; the Public External IP addresses should only be specified if
NAT is used. If NAT is not used, do not fill this field.
7.
Set the Number of media ports. This represents the port range for the external Media
Relay. This range should be an even number from 100 to 10000. For both TCP and
UDP, each concurrent call requires 2 ports, so the concurrent call capability for the
Media Relay should be in the range / 2. Note: the number of supported concurrent calls also depends on the capacity of the PSTN Gateway.
