[BudgeTone 101] Stops ringing?

You might try playing with registration expiry setting(s).

I was thinking of something like that, and I'll see if that solves the issue, but it can happen just seconds after I received a call successfully. I wonder if it's not something in the modem.

OK, I tried this, it does improve things, but after a few calls, the BT no longers answers incoming calls, and the caller gets a "Call failed: Temporarily unavailable". The problem is... temporarily solved by waiting a bit or using the BT to call someone.

I changed Register Expiration from 3600 to 20, then tried changing keep-alive interval from 20 to 5 (but when relogging to the web interface, this value is put back to 20: Is 5 too low and not allowed?) Has anyone seen this? Looks like the modem/hub would close all ports for a while (UDP 5060 in this case).

When this happens, does the server show a connection to the device any longer? I know how to check this under Asterisk but haven't a clue in Axon...?

I'll see if I can gather data from the Axon PBX and the X-Lite softphone that I use to call the BT phone, but regarless, when setting up a call, is the PBX involved at all?

I though it would just hand out the IP and port of the remote device, and then get out of the loop, ie. the softphone will dial the IP + port of the BT phone directly.

I ordered an el cheapo USB IP phone. If I can solve the BT issue, I'll see if a USB phone works better.

Good question. To be honest, under Axon, I don't have a clue. I was assuming the devices were registering with the server. Regardless of the transport between the two endpoints, I would think you would still see a connection. When have this problem, I am wondering if it is completely losing its registration. I'm tired, so this may not make perfect sense...

I'll keep reading on VoIP but I was under the impression that VoIP devices only query the PBX to get the remote VoIP device's IP and port, and from there on, the two devices talk to each other... but I may be wrong.

Anyhow... turns out that the four Ethernet ports that make up the switch part on that modem can only be used reliably once the thingie has been reconfigured to work as a router. The fact that the BT phone would ring every so often was just luck, apparently.

Thanks a lot for your help :-)

Wow, strange :>

You're most welcome!
