[Asterisk-Users] grandstream asterisk configuration

[SW]

Hi,

In my experience with GS phones, you need STUN support to make it work
properly (behind NAT), otherwise you would need lot of trial end error to
figure out how to do port forwarding. If you have STUN you wouldn't need to
touch the Netgear (except for firewalls).

If you can't run your own stun server (need two public IPs) then use one of
many STUN servers out there on public internet.

For an example enable NAT traversal on your GS phone and point the STUN
server to one of these STUN servers

larry.gloo.net or stun01.newkinetics.com.

Then reboot the GS and see how it discover the NAT (top of the gs web GUI).
If it is not a full cone or UDP blocked then you should be fine (Netgear is
restricted cone).

Cheers

i have forwarded ports 5060 and 5000-5008 the ports used by sip and rtp to
grandstream from my netgear. rtp.conf uses rtpstart 5000 and rtpend 5008. i
have also opened all 5060, 5000-5008 ports in my firewall configuration.
grandstream uses 5004 port for rtp.

what am i missing here? please tell me.
