Batboard

Definatly set me up with all the info, i'll convert one of my 7912 phones to SIP Tonight and get online!

Allright, I'm online now. The new number solved my problems.

I set everything up and I got connected. I tried the test and nothing. Now I can't even log into the system.

All proxy and user info are set. Maybe password issue? John did I request a specific one? Can you PM me with that?

Ok, I am up and running. Got into the TEST and ECHO just fine, even without John setting up my requested password yet. Works really well. Not as much slack time as I though there would be. When testing with the ECHO, it was not much of a delay.

OK guys...

I can see several of you trying to log into the proxy but, you're NOT using the right settings.

So, lets get this straight.

If your BAT-PHONE number is 228-1234, your username is "2281234" and the same goes for your Authorization User.

Pager Geek, I can see you but, you'll never authenticate until you get your usernames straight (and as a result, nobody will be able to call you!)

Notice that you're trying to authenticate as "thepagergeek"? That won't work.

John

OK folks. I can see several of you trying to log in.

I must STRESS:

Your username and Authorization Username is your BAT-PHONE number WITHOUT the hyphen.

John

Okay, I'm having issues getting it to work here...

I set everything up the way you said... I setup DMZ on my router for the IP my computer is on, but X-Lite says it found a blocked firewall, and (to my knowledge) won't connect.

What gives?

-Mike

Don't set up the DMZ. Just run it through the NAT.

John

I don't know that I can.

I can use port forwarding if I need to...but, what ports do I need to open up?

-Mike

Okay, I managed to get connected

I made the correction to the SIP proxy, and then made a call to the echo line. I am impressed, my Adelphia connection has very low latency.

Guys,

Stop trying to make this harder than it is. Most "consumer" firewalls will work OUT OF THE BOX. If your computer can access the internet through your firewall, you'll be able to your X-Lite through it. I don't have any holes punched through my firewall at the house and I'm using TWO VoIP devices. One hard phone and one soft phone.

Just install the software, get your username and password straight (PAGERGEEK, I'm getting ready to block your IP address at our borders so I can see something BESIDES you trying to authenticate using the wrong username when I'm tailing the logs) and if THAT doesn't work, THEN start looking at the firewall.

John

Are you seeing me trying to log in? I keep trying (everything seems to be configured properly) but it keeps timing out on me.

Does it matter that my broadband connection is DirecWay 2-way Satellite internet?

OK, I got my laptop here to come up and work with bat-test and bat-echo.

however, I can't connect to individuals, and it still says login failed - but I can connect to bat-test and bat-echo....

-Alex

Yeah, when I try to call you I get a Call Failed - 404 Not Found. Maybe that will help John get you setup OK.

[duplicate message]

OK. I found one thing that was keeping you folks from connecting to each other. I didn't have you added to the dialplan. I was kinda waiting on people to get authorization.

Once you get your authorization done, give me a call at 228-8888

Oh, and until it says, "Ready - Dial phone number" you aren't ready to do anything. Until you're authorized on the system, nobody will be able to call you.

John

Ok, for those having trouble, here is a tutorial based on John's original information:

Important!: Most standard home cable/DSL routers do not need to have any modifications made. DO NOT put your computer in a DMZ, and do not bother opening any ports. The X-Lite software along with your broadband modem, router and the settings below should work fine.

Configuration of X-Lite for connecting to the BAT-LINE.

1. Launch the program
2. Just above the "3" key on the telephone keypad in the program, you'll see a button that looks like a notepad or something. This is the menu button. Click on that button.
3. Double click on "system settings"
4. Double click on "Sip proxy"
5. You'll see something like "[Default]" Double click on it.
6. Set "Enabled" to YES
7. Set Display name to Whatever but, please include your BAT-nnnn number.
EXAMPLE: "David 911radio 228-0909"
8. Set username to your batphone number, IE; "228nnnn" (NO Hyphen)
9. Set Authorization User to your batphone number. (NO Hyphen)
10. Set password to the password you have requested.
11. Set Domain/Realm to "BAT-PHONE" (Hyphen Needed)
12. Set Sip Proxy to "sipproxy.enterzone.net:5060"
13. Set Use Outbound Proxy to NEVER
14. Set Send Internal IP to NEVER
15. Set Register to ALWAYS
16. Close out the menu (hit the X at top right)
17. Close out of the program
18. Restart the program

Here are some screen shots with instructions!

Hope this helps![
[HumHead: Information updated 8/26/04]

OK folks. This is REALLY not that hard.

So, if you are trying to connect, send me the following information in a PM:

1. The number you have been assigned.

2. The username you are using. If this is different than your 228nnnn number, I won't help you any further because I couldn't have been any more specific about what you must use as a username.

3. The authorization username you are using. Again, if this is different than your 228nnnn number, no further help - failure to follow simple instructions.

4. The password you are trying to use.


Again, for the people on the short bus:

If your number is BAT-1234 and you asked for "bat" to be your password, here is the username/pw info you would use:

username: 2281234
authorization username: 2281234
password: bat

What is so hard about this?

John

Ok, well I'm up and running (depending on whether there's a final step John needs to do at his end.. I can place calls OK).

So as I understand it, the phone list is:

2285329 jaymz
2280896 kg6eaq
2283223 humhead
2284162 cpd534
2281414 fireradio
2289111 Alex
2280880 The Pager Geek
2280909 911radio
2285260 Johnny Grep
2285334 Sundown
2280000 & 2288888 = Me (k4wtf)

I'm here - and online... call up and say hi...

-Alex

Doesn't like you Want to call me back? (Was on the phone before)

doesn't look like i'm getting audio....

I can call... but no audio...

-Alex

Sundown wrote:Doesn't like you Want to call me back? (Was on the phone before)

Ugh... now I can hear you but you can't hear me

Alex - Try the echo test and see if you can hear yourself...

228-3246

It looks like I probably won't be online for a little while - I have to see if I can get my school to open the firewall for me (X-Lite reports "Discovered Restricted Firewall") - which I doubt they will. But, I will be sure to sign on whenever I'm at home.

Thanks to John for putting this together!

grr... that's not working.

alex wrote:grr... that's not working.

Are you behind NAT? $10 says you are and the SIP packet isn't getting properly translated at the Layer 7 (application) level...

And as a result the returning audio is going nowhere... hence we can hear you but nothing's getting back

Yup... behind a Nat....

using a Sonicwall Tele3tzx...

I have something that allows the SIP transformations built into my firewall...

Care to drop me a PM with your screenname on one of the services and i'l drop you a message that way to take this off the board?

-Alex

I'm up and running!

Yay.

-Alex

Sorry you are having troubles Alex. Did you (or someone else) try to call me about 15 min ago? I was tied up when I heard the phone ring. Wish this had a way you could go back and look like regular caller ID does.

Yeah, I just tried you again... try me back -- 228-9111

-Alex

alex wrote:Yeah, I just tried you again... try me back -- 228-9111

-Alex

Well, it won't let me call you... Want to call me back?

Alex,

Did you try BAT-TEST and BAT-ECHO and verify that they work?

Something else we might want to check are your STUN settings. Sundown knows a lot more about VoIP than I do so he can tell us how STUN works but, that might be the answer to your problems.

John

alex wrote:Yeah, I just tried you again... try me back -- 228-9111

-Alex

I was talking with John one time trying to figure out how to get you running so we dont get that Call Failed - 403 Forbidden error.

Still can't call you.

I'm up and running with Sundown right now!

Quite fun!

This is a problem with Asterisk. It's not a true SIP server. Internally it has it's own way of doing things, and has SIP "connectors" going to the SIP phones. The caller ID of a call going out gets stamped with the ID of the connector port going to you, which has the effect of essentially looking like you're calling yourself.

Means missed call lists and alike don't work like they should, and you can fake what "caller ID" there is by changing your display name

In other words... DO NOT trust the "caller ID" of a call on the system as it stands

Hey John,

Feel like setting up a phone directory web page we can look up numbers on and see when people are added?

I was just thinking about that. I wanted to get out of "beta" first though. KG6EAQ, will you send me a PM with the username/pw combo you're using so I can verify on this end? I see you trying to authenticate but, not making it in.

John

Will do! Check 'em

Disregard.... Had a brain fart.

Yay! I'm up and online... now to dig up a hard-phone for this instead of a 'puter.

Wow! Had a nice conference call tonight with Alex, r0f, sundown and myself. This might actually take off folks! Now all have to do is get a Zaptel card for the Asterisk server and I can set up "Meetme" conference rooms. Then people can simply call into the "room" and chat with whoever happens to be in that room.

If you're one of the beta testers and you're still not working yet, let me know and we'll try to figure out what the problem is.

John

Hey, this is pretty cool. Up and running on my end.

Well, you ring when I call and you show up in the sip peer registry so, that would be every indication that you're set up right. If you'd answer, it would be easier to test though Mike! :O

John

Number changed to:
BAT4335 and is working great!

BAT0880 is no longer and back up for grabs....


Please update phonebooks as needed

thanks
tpg

Well add me to the list.
BAT-6996

If I was to purchase one of the SIPphone Adapter-286 would that be an acceptable unit? I would just put a nice cordless phone on it.

Thanks!
Once I am cleared with this I will get one and get on the bandwagon too!
