2 phones on one account
I have a PAP2 working with voxalot and I am trying to set up x-lite softphone on one of my PC's on the same network with the same voxalot account.
I have smart call dialplans set up in voxalot for voipcheap and voipuser and these are working ok. Some calls are coming up with connected but there is no audio, no ringing, nothing. Incoming wise, I believe it is possible to get 2 phones to ring together but I am not getting an incoming ring on the softphone on the PC, only on the pap2. I have forwarded 5060 to my PAP2 as it was intermittantly sending calls to voicemail without this. ANyone any ideas? |

I have it working now by turning off symetric NAT handling in voxalot. I still have the incoming port 5060 forwarded in my router to the PAP2 but now the softphone is dialing the echotest and working ok. Both phones ring for incoming calls too. How does that work if incoming calls are forwarded to the PAP2 at the router then?
EDIT: I haven't quite got this right, does anyone know why the softphone on the PC could be dropping calls after 30-40sec but the PAP2 is ok. Last edited by chatalot; 12-01-2007 at 12:20 PM. |

I used to have this working by using the Virtual PBX functionality available at Voipfone. Setup one extension for each endpoint, calls to the main number can then ring all endpoints. I think extensions cost £1 per month each. There may be other providers with similar services. I hope this helps. |

I have finished with trying to do this now and agree that it is unreliable. For example when opening and then closing the softphone on the PC - all calls goto voicemail even though the PAP2 is still running - it's ok after rebooting the router and PAP2 so it must be a routing issue.
Would it work if I use a second voxalot account on my PC softphone or would that give the same problems with the routing? |

How would you get two different accounts 'ringing' on one inbound call? I am pretty sure voxalot do not offer this facility (!! I cannot even call from one account to the other ATM !!). By using the Premium service Call Connection (Call Forwarding) on Voxalot, you can probably make an incoming call go to different accounts at different times of the day, but not simultaneously AFAIK. I hope this helps. |

I have both ports of my PAP2T registered to the same Voxalot account, and it's working fine. It sounds like you're having NAT/router problems.

My setup is different because in yours, both ports on the PAP2 are sharing the same IP address. I agree that it is a NAT/router issue. Has anyone used the voip version of DD-WRT - would this help solve the problem? - I need to do some research but I am guessing that the router is set up with the voxalot account and the PAP2 and softphones then register to the router as different extensions, is this right?

You are right it is not going to easily achieve what I want. Maybe one day voxalot will support routing to simultaneous sip addresses.
