The phones could be on a subnet that has private IP addresses that are routable from the DMZ where the sipXecs server is (without NAT), but not routable from the Internet.

That is where your Nat will come in - traversing the router. Seems the Server would need to know they are NAT, as it will be NAT coming to the server. -----Original Message----- From: sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org [mailto:sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org] On Behalf Of Burden, Mike Sent: Monday, December 07, 2009 1:25 PM To: sipx-users@list.sipfoundry.org Subject: [sipx-users] How to set up a non-NAT'd sipXecs IP PBX without giving public addresses to the phones I asked this once before, but maybe not in precise terms... Given that sipXecs cannot be dual-homed, if the sipXecs server is given a public IP address, does it create issues to have the phones behind NAT? If so, then do the phones need non-NAT access to the ITSP, or just non-NAT access to the sipXecs server?
