Many routers come with configurations that can disrupt SIP and RTP traffic. If you call your friend, RTP would transmit the sound of your friend's voice. RTP is the actual media content of the call. It initiates the communication, negotiates the codecs, and sets up the general transaction of the call. SIP is known as the 'signaling' portion of a call. SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) and RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) are the protocols used by most VoIP phone systems. Each protocol is treated differently by your router. There are 65+ major application protocols, such as HTTP, FTP, and IM, that comprise all the traffic on the internet. But not all of the traffic on the internet is processed the same way. The internet itself is comprised of routers, gateways, and other devices that engage in traffic routing and security. Ensure Call Connectivity with Optimal Router SettingsĪll VoIP calls are made via the internet. However, forwarding router ports and disabling SIP ALG can stop call quality problems from happening. SIP ALGs and NAT/firewall settings can make it impossible to initiate or receive VoIP calls altogether. Many out-of-the-box router features can unintentionally disrupt VoIP traffic. These devices help implement logistics and security in your office network, but they can sometimes interfere with internet-based services such as VoIP.

You can find your OnSIP VOIP username and password by logging into the OnSIP web site at and going to the VOIP page. *** Please note that your VOIP password is not the same as the password you selected when you signed up for service and now use to access your account information via the OnSIP web site. In $PREFIX/freeswitch/conf/sip_profiles/external/ create a file called including this information: The first step is to set up an external connection to OnSIP so that you may register your Freeswitch device to our PSTN service. You can change the default password in $PREFIX/freeswitch/conf/vars.xml Ĭhange the '1234' so that is at least 7 characters containing letters, numbers and symbols. Changing the default password on your PBX helps protect you against this circumstance. PBXes that run with the default password are frequently hacked by criminals who make thousands of dollars in long distance calls, which OnSIP will not be responsible for. The default password for extensions created through Freeswitch is '1234' making it very insecure. Go to the PSTN Gateway section and note your VOIP username and password. *** Please note that if there is a Firewall or NAT (Network Address Translator) between your Freeswitch Box and OnSIP, the following configuration instructions may not be applicable.
