It's almost as if Asterisk is expiring the phone before the phone re-registers. The phone is registering with a 900s expirey period. Asterisk has maxexpirey=3600 and defaultexpiry=900 in sip.conf. When the phone re-registers, Asterisk repopulates the peer with it's IP address.

Do you have rtcachefriends=yes and rtupdate=yes set in your sip.conf?
