[Asterisk-Users] Good NAT Pnp Hardphone
Hello All, I am looking for a sip phone that is capable of automatic nat. The Cisco ata186 for example works fine for natting with iconnecthere, but as for asterisk, both my 7960 and polycom ip600 require you to set the nat ip on the tftp. Does anyone know a good phone (or ata) that can do this automatically? For example, I want to give a phone to my brother, who is going to europe. His ICH softphone is fine there. Both the poly and cisco though require you to setup for nat. He would not be able to set this up though, so I want to just give him a preconfig'ed phone and plug and go... Any ideas? Greg

I've tried it even behind three cascaded NAT routers and it works. -- Nabeel Jafferali X2 Networks www.x2n.ca T: 1.647.722.6900 1.877.VOIP.X2N F: 1.866.655.6698 FWD: 46990

[Asterisk-Users] Good NAT Pnp Hardphone
Hello Guys, I suspect you misunderstood. What I am lokinng for is a hardphone that works well. Asterisk itself is running fine... The issue is for example, if in europe, behind an uncontrollable nat, are there good phones that can handle this without requiring the configuration of the external address? For example, both cisco and polycom, and even pingtel, require you to use an interface method to update the external address manually...

Check rtp.conf. I don't recall if rtp.conf controls incoming or outgoing RTP packets. You have to portforward whatever ports the incoming RTP is. This has been discussed to death on the mailing lists. Check the archives. Anton Krall wrote:> And if asterisk is behind nat doing prot forwarding?

Yes I saw you mentioned the sipura phone was good for this... I will probably pick one up and check it out... Thanks... Next time I should read through the list decending rather than ascending...
