Troubleshoot SIP

Get the line working. Fix registration failures, dropped calls and one-way audio.

#Firewall

Allow your PBX to reach the SIP server on these ports, and allow the replies back:

TrafficProtocolPorts
SIP signallingUDP and TCP5060
SIP over TLSTCP5061
Audio (RTP)UDP10000 to 10999

#The trunk won't register

  • Copy the username and password again. Passwords are shown once, so generate a new one if in doubt, then update your PBX.
  • Check that the SIP server and port match the trunk page exactly.
  • Check that outbound UDP 5060 isn't blocked. Try TCP if your network mangles UDP.
  • Repeated failed attempts from one address are blocked for a while. Wait before retrying after several bad passwords.

#Calls to 7777 fail

  • Check the outbound route sends 7777 down the BluePenguin trunk and doesn't strip or add digits.
  • For IP trunks, check that the PBX's public IP is in the trunk's list.
  • Check that your plan has minutes left and the AI is switched on under Call handling.

#One-way or no audio

  • Allow UDP 10000 to 10999 in both directions.
  • Turn off SIP ALG on your router. It rewrites SIP packets and often breaks audio.
  • Make sure G.711 μ-law or A-law is enabled on the trunk.

#Transfers don't reach the extension

  • The transfer target's destination must be the extension number as your PBX dials it.
  • Check that calls arriving from the trunk may reach internal extensions (the inbound context).
