Make sure:

  • That you run the PBX on a routable (public) IP address, and make sure the firewall is not intercepting the traffic
  • That the phones are using plug and play. If you dont want to expose the TFTP port on the server, then use HTTP for provisioning.

That should be working fine. The PBX will make sure that the SIP registrations are kept alive and that the media will flow both directions.

Right. We have seen cases where a cheap router went belly up with so many connections (just a few weeks ago again). For NAT this is in theory no problem, but the product quality is important here. If you buy a professional router it should be no problem. NAT can have up to 65000 ports.

Am I understanding this correctly??? Would a separate port need to be assigned for each phone, on the customer's site?

99 % no. A reasonable good router will pick a random port, so that there is no conflict. We have seen believe it or not routers who always assign the same port like the client; those devices obviously make VoIP behind NAT pretty random.
