Incoming Calls Drop or No Audio
 

Hi, I tried to search through this forum but the suggestions don't appear to work for me or my search criteria is not very good.

I just switched over my voip services to voip.ms and VoXalot and I use SIP URI forwarding from voip.ms to VoXalot for my DID.

Problem: When registerd with VoXalot, I can make outgoing calls successfully but when receiving incoming calls, there's no audio between the 2 parties when the call connects or it just drops completely.

I have followed the Wiki configuration for the PAP2 but I'm still having problems.

If I turn off SIP URI forwarding and register with voip.ms directly, everything works fine. (However, I don't get to use some of the preferred dial plans that I have setup with VoXalot).

May I get some help please? :(

This could be a difficult problem. First, put *0@proxy01.sipphone.com in one of your speed dial slots and call it. What message do you hear?

At voip.ms; what setting do you have entered for 'NAT (Network Address Translation)'? What setting are you using for 'Device type'?

The message I get is: "The number you have called could not be connected"

My NAT setting at voip.ms is set to "Yes" (use NAT)
Allowed Codecs: G.711u and G.729
Device Type: ATA, IP Phone, or Softphone

If you are using DNS SRV enter the test number with SIP port appended; *0@proxy01.sipphone.com:5060

After the test, can you confirm that your ATA shows 'Last Called Number:' to be '*0@proxy01.sipphone.com:5060'? If so, you did the test correctly.

So I continue to struggle. The last called number shows "2".

Because of the number of changes performed, I resetted the PAP2 and re-configured it based on the Wiki and using option 1 for the stun settings. I'm also using port 4060 (not the default 5060).

I have 2 ATAs that are experiencing the same problem with VoXalot. The 1st ATA is the main home line and that's currently registered with voip.ms until I can test and resolve the issues with the 2nd ATA and copy those settings to the main (1st) ATA. The 1st ATA is using the default 5060 port.

So, unless relevant, the scope of my problem will be on the 2nd ATA until I fix the problem. Here's where I'm currently at:

1. Last number called still shows "2"
2. Outgoing calls work perfectly fine
3. Incoming calls connect but the recipient (me) is hearing an echo similar to an echo test. The caller hears absolutely nothing but dead air.

I hope I've made things a little clearer and transparent about my issues.

Apparently you used speed dial no. 2 but dialed only the 2. Speed dial numbers should be terminated with #, so you would dial 2#. Please complete the test call to *0@proxy01.sipphone.com:5060

This test helps me determine if the problem is NAT related. If it's not some kind of NAT issue then I may not be able to offer substantial help.

I knew about dialing "2#" for speed dialing but clearly it didn't accept the pound key. I don't know why that is...it seems that it's one problem after another.

Thanks boatman for your time thus far.

I guess your dial plan is not allowing 2#. In order for me to check your SDP packet please call the test number I have configured, sent to you by PM. You may hear only a busy signal but I will be able to read your SIP SDP packet.

Apologies for my ignorance, but I just dialed the number direct from my phone and got "you have dialed an invalid number..."

I hope you get the info you need nevertheless.

BTW, my dial plan is simply ([x*][x*].) as per the Wiki instructions.

That is a good dial plan, and yet your PAP2 doesn't allow use of the speed dial memories. If 'Interdigit Long Timer' and 'Interdigit Short Timer' are at factory defaults, 10 and 3 respectively, then I can only assume that your PAP2 is faulty.

Other than my test number, can you call Voxalot numbers without difficulty?

I did not get any data from your ATA on my test line, although it works fine when I call it from another Voxalot number, and also when called from a Gizmo5 number.
