Sorry, "residence". My spellchecker sometimes gets a little goofy.
I tried using NAT, but there are some weird things going on. I'm using a Cisco 877W with IOS 12.4T. For whatever reason, it wants to remap port 5060 to some other port, which is causing havoc. I'll put in a call with Cisco tomorrow and see if there are particular settings that I need, but if there's something I need configured explicitly on the Sipura 942's let me know. Most of the info on the Sipuras on www.voip-info.org is about the ATA's.... not about the multiline hardphones. I also don't think that the Cisco IOS is doing inspection of the SIP stream so it can figure out what the media port numbers are. Oops! To make matters worse, the SIP hardphones that are multiline use port 5060... then 5061... 5062.... etc. and Inspect doesn't know about any of these additional addresses.... just 5060. -Philip Mark Phillips wrote: > Why bother with an entire Asterisk server in your "residents".
