Question

SIP KEEP ALIVE

Hi I have currently deployed a new voice solution (Alcatel pbx) on site with VPN phones and local IP sets.

 

We have connected GAMMA SIP trunks and can make and receive calls no problem in busy periods of the day. The issue we have if no traffic (calls) are made for say 10-15 minutes the incoming and outgoing calls stop routing to the PBX. We have to make a call in and try and make a call out (unsucessfully inititally) then the traffic starts to flow again. 

 

We have the relevant ports open (5060 & media ports) 

 

initially we had one way audio and the only other setting we have changed is to enable the sip helper.

 

Can anyone assist please.

 

config system settings

set default-voip-alg-mode kernel-helper-based

set sip-helper enable

end

    HI TP999

    SIP helpers do not help SIP:) We use 3CX. I've got the same problem after update FG to 7.0.1. For me, worked:

    1) Downgrade to 6.48 (or update to 7.0.2)

    2) Recommendations from: https://www.3cx.com/docs/...irewall-configuration/

    Hi thank you for your reply so in essence you disabled both SIP ALG and sip helper.

     

    does not changing this command not change it from SIP helper to SIP ALG ?

     

    Run the following commands:

     

    config system settings

     

    set default-voip-alg-mode kernel-helper based

    end

    Hi

    Thats work for me:

    Disable SIP ALG:

    config system settings

        set sip-helper disable

        set sip-nat-trace disable

    end

    reboot the device

    config system session-helper

    show

    I sow:

    edit 13(or 12)

    set name sip

    set protocol 17

    set port 5060

    And delete it:

    delete 13(or 12)

    Change the default –voip –alg-mode

    config system settings

        set default-voip-alg-mode kernel-helper based

    end

    hi MikhailB

     

    To clarify and Disable SIP ALG:

    enter:

    config system settings

    set sip-helper disable 

    set sip-nat-trace disable end reboot the device

    log back on

    config system session-helper show 

    show:edit 13(or 12)set name sipset protocol 17set port 5060And delete it:delete 13(or 12)Change the default –voip –alg-mode

     

    config system settings   

    set default-voip-alg-mode kernel-helper based end 

     

    is this correct to keep alive my SIP trunks

     

    thank you
