G'Day All, I have a GS Budge Tone-100 on my LAN behind a firewall. What settings, on the IP Phone and on the * server, do I have to configure so I can use the IP Phone at some other location with a broadband connection? Thanks for your assistance. Ferg.
I do this with my dad. He's in the UK and I'm in the US. Set up your Grandstream as normal but use a service such as DynDNS to convert your ip into a name (assuming you have a dynamic ip). Then modify your sip.conf to include nat=yes in the bit that deals with your GS phone. Thassit!! I used mine in various hotels and exhibition halls before I sent it to my dad. He just plugged it into his linksys firewall and it went. Don;t forget to make sure that you have port 5060 and 10000-10100 pointed at your * machine.

OK.. But I don't get it. The GS has a non-routable IP, 192.168.131.130. Not a public IP. That makes a difference.

Depends on what you mean by firewall. If both ends are behind a NAT type router then you shouldn't have any problems provided you configure 'nat=yes' and 'qualify=yes' in Asterisk, and the appropriate STUN settings in the phone. The qualify is important as it keeps a 'session' open in the NAT router between the asterisk IP and the phone. If * is behind a firewall then you most likely will be out of luck, you will find that the audio stream from the phone is discarded by the firewall as * chooses the port randomly and firewall can't see inside the SIP packet to determine the port * has specified. One solution would be to use SER and an RTP Proxy, you'd still have to open up a range of UDP ports based on the number of concurrent calls but it should work. We're sorta in a similar situation with work, and are stuck with MS ISA as a 'firewall' for a few weeks until our hardware firewalls arrive. ISA will not pass the traffic, it needs someone to write a SIP 'application filter' so it can read the SDP inside the SIP traffic and dynamically open and close the RTP ports. If I was a programmer I'd have a go at writing one but I'm just a lowly sysadmin.
