Re: [asterisk-users] Polycom behind NAT won't register to * server behind ALG
Actually i'm using Polycom 501's behind nat and i have no issues. what i usually do is putting static routeable IP for asterisk and using nat and qualify in sip.conf. no issues for me so far. i'm a big fan of Polycom phones, quality of voice, working great with asterisk and low failure rate.

I had a client with such an issue and the "fix" was a nice Edgemark or Sonicwall firewall that are set up for SIP and NAT issues. I prefer the Sonicwall. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

This is a non-issue for most people. I've never seen a phone that could not work with NAT with Asterisk. Polycoms work just fine with NAT and Asterisk. The nice thing about Asterisk's NAT support is that the phone does not need to support NAT. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [asterisk-users] Polycom behind NAT won't register to * server behind ALG
I think what Alex was trying to say was that Polycom IP Phones are an example of immature product development. While they look very nice and have a nice display the product doesn't compete very well compared to other manufacturers. The two most obvious flaws are that they cannot be NAT'ed so they cannot be used as Off Premise eXtensions phones and the other being that they take so long to configure and re-boot. I have a golden rule with any phone that I plan on installing for a customerIf I can't get it working within 20 minutes then don't use it. I'm afraid Polycom breaks my golden rule. With such a lot of competition in this market they should have sorted this out two years ago. -- Henry L.

Forgive what may be a naively misplaced line of questioning, but what precisely does this have to do with NAT as such? Unless you mean to imply otherwise, it would seem to me you are referring to 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24 being intermediated by way of a router -- but not necessarily NAT'd? -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel: +1-678-954-0670 Direct : +1-678-954-0671 ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[asterisk-users] Polycom behind NAT won't register to * server behind ALG
Polycom's were simply not originally built for multi location VoIP. There is no NAT support in the Polycom's. We have several networks, being an ISP, and have found that when transversing one network say 192.168.2.x with the * box on a 192.168.1.x the polycoms were able to communicate however sustained a lot of one way audio problems. Moving thim onto the same network is the only thing we have been able to reliable do. According to Polycom Support this is what they are intended for and no definitive answer as to whether they would support Stun or another method in the future. At least as of 6 months ago.

[asterisk-users] Polycom behind NAT won't register to * server behind ALG
I’ve been tearing my hair out trying to get a Polycom phone (behind a NAT) to register to an * box behind a Cisco SIP ALG. With known good credentials configured on the phone and in *, I get 403 Bad Auth when trying to register. If I put the phone onto the same LAN as * it works fine without changing any authentication parameters whatsoever. If I make the secret blank (null) on the phone and *, it’s registers fine. An X-Lite softphone works fine, and I already have a Cisco 7960 working in the same scenario but no go with the Polycom (I’ve tried a few different firmware versions, currently up to 2.02). I also have configured Polycoms behind NAT to configure to * that is not behind a SIP ALG many times without trouble…it’s just with the SIP ALG that I’ve hit this wall… I found this forum thread which seems to pinpoint the issue, but I’m not really understanding the suggested fix. Does anyone out there understand the MD5 challenge/response and URI stuff that can give me some clue what to do?
