Hi,

I don't know if the problem could be in the Mobile to Lan or Lan to
Mobile settings because these  settings are related on how calls coming
from/to mobile are routed.  I didn't use the Portech routing features at
all because I need a simple GSM gateway to/from the asterisk box.
For this reason:
1. The only rule I've on Mobile to Lan is CID=*; URL=mob at 192.168.0.5
where "mob" is the extension I've generated in the asterisk box under
the context where the Portech operates;
2. The only rule I've on Lan to Mobile is URL=*; Call Num=#

I think the most relevant parameters for your problem are under the
"Service Domain" menu option (assuming that the firmware you have is
similar to what I've). On this menu I've compiled the 1st Realm (as I've
only one account) like that:

UserName: GSMGtw1
RegisterName: GSMGtw1
RegisterPassword: reallyverysecret
Domain Server: 192.168.0.5
Proxy Server: 192.168.0.5

Pay attention that, having specified the Domain Server with the raw IP
address, asterisk needs to be able to authenticate peers associated to
that. For this reason I've set:

domain=192.168.0.5

on sip.conf [general] section (remember to issue a sip reload from
asterisk cli).

Hope this helps!


Best regards.
Marco Signorini
