<div dir="ltr">A profile is FS listening on a specific IP:port. Associated with that port are various settings, such as auth codecs etc. The result is you can use multiple profiles to listen on multiple IPs and/or ports, and those can use different configurations so that you might for example have one port that anyone can send calls to you on and another more privileged port that requires you authenticate.<div>
<br></div><div>One way to send calls out is to use the dialstring sofia/profilename/destination@ipaddress ... this'll send the call out from the IP:port of that profile.</div><div><br></div><div>Gateways are configured on a profile. The profile they're configured on determines the IP:port they send the registrations and calls out from. Additionally they'll only be up if that profile is running.</div>
