Beyond this, you can still just use the NAT keepalive in the Sipura. While It only provides for either a NOTIFY or REGISTER (which both generate errors in asterisk) if you change it to something else (I just have it send blank, but a few ... or anything will do) asterisk won't complain and the data is sent every few seconds, keeping the firewall open.

I've also found setting the register to something low (I use 300s) also helps when you do have to use qualify, in case asterisk loses the connection the device will only be offline until the next register.

using it with all of our Sipuras behind NAT'd gateways and it works great!


Try upgrading to the latest Sipura firmware rev.

Sending NOTIFY to Asterisk is an error, but a workaround. Since Asterisk
can handled the NAT traversal all by itself with Qualify (as John points
out) disabling the NOTIFY will not change anything.


The NOTIFY will in no way affect the status - unreachable/reachable.

Another problem with the SIPURA is the lack of a working STUN solution.
Even Grandstream works better with NAT today.

Do you have difficulties with the Sipura SPA-2000 (or other Sipura boxes) and Asterisk? I've found no problems, even behind NAT, though I have only tried behind one or two NAT devices (OpenBSD and Apple Airport.)

It's surprising that Sipura doesn't include STUN as an option - their
list of options is so huge that I always assumed I had just missed
it, but now that I look closer I suppose you're right.  Do Asterisk
users even really need STUN?  I've never found it to be required
after the NAT issues were worked out of Asterisk...
