Bear in mind, if this setting is enabled and your device sends UDP/TCP or RTP you will be rejected 
with error code 488.

Enable this setting for the Main Account at Main Menu>> Account settings>> Advanced tab.

For a sub-account enable it at Sub accounts>> Manage sub-accounts by clicking on the orange icon with a pen and finally click at "Advanced Options (Click here to display)".

2. Now that your account/sub-account has this setting enabled, your Linphone needs to send TLS and SRTP.

• Append the port 5061 to the server. (E.g. atlanta1.voip.ms:5061)
• On the option Transport select TLS.

• Click on the menu that is on the top right corner and click on Preferences.
• Click on the tab Call and Chat and enable "SRTP".
