BJ, Thanks much. I do have qualify in my sip.conf (see below) set at 1000. Also, the asterisk box sits on a public ip ( no firewall) but the devices are behind a WatchGuard firewall.
Thanks for the pointers. Send me more if you have any.

So Asterisk is sending out a SIP OPTIONS msg to which it's waiting for the peer's reply. If it doesn't respond, it then marks the peer as unreachable, and you then cannot dial out to the peer because it's state is UNREACHABLE which will cause (status 3) messages. You might consider increasing your qualify= time and see if that corrects your problems. If not, you're going to need to start looking at possible firewall/network interruptions between your Asterisk instance and your devices to see if they are knocking down traffic that might be trying to flow between.
