no ringing tones
I got a curious problem that I don't know how to fix:
If I don't have an extension logged in to the account, the caller hears no 'ringing' tone. I.e. if my Nokia e61 is off or not within WiFI , a caller to my swedish did hears nothing for 30 seconds, then my voicemail prompt, but if my phone is on, they do hear ringing before I answer or they end up with voicemail. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Is this an issue with my swedish vsp (affinity telecom (really rixport80.com)) or is it something voxalot can fix (or I for that matter!) Thankful for any pointers in any direction -- don't even know what to search for yet. My account is 885522 should you need that... |

I have had the same problem with my Nokia E70, but I believe it's because when you move out of WLAN coverage, your phone's registration is still valid and Voxalot will try to get in touch with it for 30 seconds before giving up and sending the call to voicemail. When the registration has timed out after 30 minutes or so, calls will be sent straight to voicemail.
Perhaps Martin can confirm that this is the case. I have solved this by having my ATA on and registered at home at all times. This way I avoid getting the effect you describe. Instead my home phone will always ring and the caller will not get the "silent treatment". Of course, if my E70 is on and registered through a WLAN, it will also ring and I can answer the call there. |

Registration timeout!!!!!!!!
May be in provider configuration page there should be registration timeout. So server should send requests & unregister if client does not repond, so server knows that client is active or dead...

merde
Damn, now no calls go through it seems I shut down my ATA and powercycled my Nokia E61 (and have waited a long time) but whenever I call a number I have to wait 30 seconds of silencio and then voicemail. Bummer. Does voxalot have some sort of status-page where one could see what registered clients and providers there are / who's active etc...?
UPDATE: now it works again. I wish I had more control over this, it kind of makes me uneasy having to wait for registrations timing out etc. I guess that's one of the big drawbacks with voip in it's current state... Last edited by mimecine; 06-19-2007 at 10:40 PM. |

The registration expiration duration is not shown, however Voxalot renews registration every 3600s as default. It has been posted here that you can force a new registration attempt by toggling SIP register to No and back to Yes. Typically, you can easily tell if a SIP device (ATA, Phone, or softphone) is registered by checking the IP phone screen, logging in to the status page on the device, absence of dial tone, or other information on the softphone. Some VSPs do post the registered device and IP address, but in general I have not seen this as a problem with wired or mobile devices I have used. I have not used a Nokia E61.

I think the problem is not whether or not the providers are registered, but whether the clients (or maybe they should be called extensions) are.
