asterisk users - Jun 2010 - Linksys SPA94x keep-alive reply replies to wrong address (1.4.32)

It appears as though the 489 Bad Event response to the NAT keep alive
event responds to the local address, instead of responding to the
NATted address.
This causes Linksys phones to go amber (no registration) after a short
amount of time after placing calls.
Turning the Linksys NAT keep alive off is a workound, but non-ideal in
may situations.

Apparently the asterisk devs don't even think this is a bug:

Has anyone dealt with this at all?

Thanks.

Hello james,

in the SPA config webpage on EXT 1 in the Nat Keep Alive MSG you should 
set $OPTIONS instead of $NOTIFY.

then in your asterisk extension default context just set this:

exten => s,1,Hangup

then the phone will send a options packet and you will get a 200 OK 
instead of 489 Bad event.

this should help.

best regards

steve
