VOIP phones on SpeedTouch 780 (BeBox)

Getting VOIP phones working through a SpeedTouch 780 can be somewhat… frustrating. They seem to have a talent for wanting the NAT config option enabled, then decided that it doesn’t want it enabled at a random interval. The easiest fix is just to toggle the NAT options on and off in your phone configuration.

However, if this fails to work it might be that your SpeedTouch has some SIP options enabled and is technically blocking your phone from being able to receive data from your phone provider.

We have found 2 fixes, and if one doesn’t work, the other should, but we’ll apply both just to make sure. So let’s start off shall we!

Connect to your SpeedTouch over Telnet and type the following…

:connection unbind application=SIP port=5060
:saveall

connection
appconfig application=SIP SIP_ALG=disabled
:saveall

After you’ve done that, if the phone isn’t already working, give it a quick reboot and try again. If it’s still not working, toggle the NAT options to whatever they aren’t already on and try then.

Hopefully this gets someone else’s VOIP phone working correctly, as it seems to be one of the most annoying fixes I’ve had to do to get them working again.
