Problems?

If you get one-way audio, or cannot get a dial tone or cannot make/receive calls with your VoIP device, you are probably behind firewall. Your router's firewall (also known as NAT) is blocking certain operations of the VoIP telephone adapter or some of the settings of the adapter is not entered correctly.

NAT/Firewall Issues

If you get one-way audio, you are probably behind NAT. Make the following changes on EXT 1 (you have to click on advanced view to see these options)

If the phone fails to login, please take the time to double check your configuration as above. If everything appears to be correct, the problem may be your firewall.
