<div dir="ltr">David,<br><div><br>Are you getting any RTP from the PSTN for either leg? If not it could be that they assume you are behind NAT and want to see where the SRC of the RTP before they send it back. We had a few carriers that did this. The easiest way to get around it was to play a 0.5 second audio clip to the incoming leg. This will send RTP to the inbound carrier, causing them to send RTP back to you which would then hit the terminating carrier, which then sends you back RTP completing the loop. The dialplan looks something like this.<br><br>same => n, Progress()<br>same => n, Playback(/var/lib//asterisk_custom/sounds/xc,noanswer)<br>same => n, Dial(SIP/+${EXTEN}@carrier,,)<br></div><div><br><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, May 19, 2022 at 12:13 AM David Cunningham <<a href="mailto:dcunningham@voisonics.com">dcunningham@voisonics.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>We found that the 10 seconds relates to the "rtpkeepalive =10" in our sip.conf.
