Re: [asterisk-users] several behind NAT
Also, where can I get information on provisioning? These phones will be out of my hands soon and I'd like to be able to update the configs. I saw a few utilities for generating the configs, but I'd like more specific info - I don't mind editing files by hand but want to know how it works. Does anyone have some resources?

Re: [asterisk-users] several behind NAT
Just to report back in, the advice of the list was to not worry about it- they should work well. I took a DSL modem with a router on it and connected both phones (Grandstream GXP2k and 101)- they did not work. I found that I had to program in a STUN server. I also has to set it to use a random port instead of the default- a pre-defined port (else only 1 phone would ring regardless of extension). Now they both work well. Does anyone see a problem with this setup? Should I use my own STUN server? or can I continue with stun.fwdnet.net? Also, where can I get information on provisioning? These phones will be out of my hands soon and I'd like to be able to update the configs.

Does anyone have some resources? thanks for all the help- this is a great list.

Re: [asterisk-users] several behind NAT
There should not be any problem as long as the remote phones, doesn't matter they are on which network, can access your server in DMZ. But if you have a dynamic IP, you should get a dyndns FQDN (fully qualified domain name) for it and have your IP phones have that domain name to rech to your server. It will cost you $10 a year. I have many phones here and there connecting to different servers and I never had any problems. Also my home server is in DMZ and I have connected to it from many different locations around the globe, it always worked perfect. And yes, there are IAX phones out there too, but not good ones yet. I havean unbranded IAX phone in my basement, but thats the only placewhere Ican put it because I can't rely on its voice quality. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [asterisk-users] several behind NAT
What about setting up a small asterisk box that trunks to your main asterisk box that sits on the same lan as your SIP phones?

There are a few ways to avoid the problem: 1) put a second interface on your asterisk box that is on the internal LAN (potential security hazard, but you may have a phone-only LAN segment and a secure DMZ in which case it would be fine). 2) Add a VPN between the 2 segments (similar issues to 1) 3) Add a small asterisk device to your 'inner' LAN and have it talk IAX to the main device on the DMZ 4) As per 3 but swap the machines, put a small device on the DMZ and the real asterisk deep in your LAN. 4 is my preferred option, but your situation may vary. Others will tell you how to get the XXYZ phone to do NAT just right with the ABCD routers :-) Tim.

Re: [asterisk-users] several behind NAT
I'm not claiming to be an expert on the matter but I'm running here in my small office 2 softphones and 3 hardphones (I'll replace the softphones soon as well) and all of them are being NAT. The asterisk is located remotely and all the clients connect to it with the help of public STUN servers. My softphones are X-Lite and my hardphones are Snom. I also worked with Grandstream ATA (Handytone 286), Motorola ATA and Welltech phone - they all worked just fine. Tomer.

Todd ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- NAT has been my worst enemy when it comes to asterisk. I think the key to having several phones behind NAT not on the same LAN as Asterisk is to have a good router. I have been using the SMC Baracade 7004 and it has worked well for me. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [asterisk-users] several behind NAT
The only thing that might be an issue is your Asterisk behind NAT. However if you removed that everything should work fine. In the case that you have issues with multiple phone registrations, try another router or firewall.
