Even if we see in wireshark that the request is sent back to the phone, the phone never get the "X" removed and still show unregistered.

 

Somehow pbxnsip thinks that the phone is registered. But will never be able to pass calls to or from the 7961G.

 

The request sent to the phone seems to be on the wrong port number. (49157) the port is in fact 5080. we see that with wireshark 0.99.6.

The problem here is that the Cisco phone sends UDP packets from a different port than it is listening on. This is extremly NAT unfriendly, and such a phone will never work behind NAT (FYI).

 

There is a setting on the phone called "NAT friendly UDP ports" or so that turns this off. If you toggle this flag the Cisco phone will use the port 5060 for sending and receiving.

 

Cisco is one of the few phones that do this. Practically all other phones use the same port for sending and receiving.

If you have test and know this flag could be please let me know. There is a setting call <voipControlPort> but somehow pbxnsip do not respect that. Even if the request is properly made to pbxnsip.

pbxnsip try to contact on a diferent port 49157 we do not understand why this port is used. THIS IS NOT OK!

After .....

We have done a test, use 49157 in voipControlPort

PS : Somehow the request came back on 49158 seen in wireshark.

explanation :

 

<voipControlPort>

UDP port to listen for incoming SIP messages (defaults to 5060). Note that this is not the port the phone uses to send SIP messages. This odd behavior is RFC compliant but highly non-standard and breaks symmetric NAT traversal workarounds commonly deployed by VOIP providers.

I remember that the older versions had a flag that you can switch off in the user interface. But it seems that this flag is not available in the version 8 any more?! I check my phone here, but even the unlocking does not work for me any more...

 

Maybe there are too many Cisco engineers in the IETF working groups and this is their way of making everyone upgrading to IPv6.

Don't know if this helps or applies...

But it works for me on the older Cisco phones and V7 or 6.5
