This happens when the keep alives are getting proper response.... So they way 
this works is that once the client is registered, there is keep alive from the 
server side and also from the cpe side. 
this is to make sure that the 'port' the CPE registered to is all good and 
well.

Good to have confirmation that connectivity is good. Qualify=yes means check 
with keep alive, =no means do not check the presence of the CPE... (this is a 
setting normally used for passing calls to an endpoint or server which is on a 
static public ip.

This is extra work, and will not do anything for the situation

I don't think what you are seeing is a Trixbox side issue....I think this is 
what you are seeing: 

This type of issue is normally caused by a UDP Session timeout on a Nat router 
(or firewall) in the middle of the communication path.... 
e.g. client registers to server, they negotiate a particular port for 
signalling...there is keep alive from server side, and also keep alive from CPE 
side..... if the router/firewall in the middle tears down the nat session 
between the two devices... the Keep Alive on the server side (which is normally 
shorter) fails.... things stay this way until the CPE keep alive fails, and CPE 
re-registers.. thus now talking to the server on a different port...... and 
then the whole cycle repeats....

Sorry to hear that, hope you feel better.
