[Asterisk-Users] Re: cannot call Grandstream

[Mike Meyer]

Michael & Stephen;

	I have been running GS BT101's for the past few months in a fixed IP
arrangement and have not had a problem with the registration process.
Budgetones seem very reliable. I have the phones configured to do
registration and expire every minute. I have SIP user ID and
Authenticate ID set on the phone to the same as the phone number defined
in the sip.conf file of course. Also no Authenticate password defined.

	I plan to move to a DHCP environment sometime soon. Hopefully I will be
able to get through that too.
