Please don't post about the same issue in multiple threads. Troubleshooting becomes confusing when responses are in different areas. Thank you.

For reference, your ATA's configuration guide is located at http://forum.fongo.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... 206#p64088. Please double check your settings.
If you've recently switched to a DSL (or Bell) service with a modem/router combo, you may be better suited performing PPPoE login using your SPA112.
You would need to login to your ATA and navigate to Network Setup-->Basic Setup-->Internet Settings-->Internet Connection type (PPPoE). You'll need your username and password credentials from your ISP.


Proper device reboot order is always Modem-->router (wait for Wi-Fi SSiDs to populate first)--> and finally ATA.
A hub is a modem/router combo. So device reboot order would be Hub (wait for Wi-Fi SSiDs to populate first)-->ATA if you're not using your own router.

Typically it's far better to have your own router with strong QoS functions and a restricted cone NAT firewall,
disable whatever SIP ALG feature is enabled in the router, and stick whatever modem/router combo your ISP gives you into bridge mode. For Bell Hubs, visit http://forums.redflagdeals.com/please-s ... r-1993629/.


Follow the following steps, carefully, step by step. Answer questions when asked.

1) What brand and model modem are you using?

2) What brand and model router are you using?

3) When you login in at https://www.freephoneline.ca/showSipSettings what does SIP Status state?
If you want to receive calls, SIP Status needs to show "connected".

Registration is required for incoming calls. Registration is not required for outgoing calls.

Note that only one registration per FPL account is allowed at any time. When there are multiple devices/softphones using the same account, only the most recent registration is valid. The previous device will lose registration.


4) What does SIP User Agent indicate at https://www.freephoneline.ca/showSipSettings? Do you recognize the device that's listed? If you don't, you may have been hacked.


5) Log into your ATA

6) a) Navigate to Voice-->Line (choose the one used for FPL) -->SIP settings.

Change SIP Port to a random number between 30000 and 60000. Do this for security reasons. If you've already chosen a random number in this range, choose a new one.

b) Navigate to Voice-->Line (choose the one used for FPL) -->Proxy and Registration-->Register Expires needs to be 3600 seconds

Submit settings.

7) Navigate to Voice-->SIP-->NAT Support Parameters

Make these changes:
a)Handle VIA received-->yes
b)Handle VIA rport-->yes
c)Substitute VIA Addr-->yes

Submit settings.

This helps to ensure RTP audio packets are being sent to your public WAN IP address as opposed to somewhere in space (LAN IP address). Not enabling these settings can cause 1-way audio problems when using Freephoneline.


8) Navigate to Voice-->SIP-->SIP Timer Values (sec)-->Reg Retry Intvl should be 120 seconds

Change to 120 seconds.

Submit settings.



9) If you have DSL service with a dsl modem/router combo, do PPPoE login (you'll need your ISP's username and password credentials) using your SPA112 to circumvent potential NAT and SIP ALG issues in the modem/router combo, and save settings. Then reboot devices in order listed above.
The settings should be found under Network Setup-->Basic Setup-->Internet Settings-->Internet Connection Type (Choose PPPoE). Test with an incoming call. If everything works, don't bother with steps 5 to 7.

10) Alternatively, In your SPA112, Navigate to Voice-->Line (FPL)-->Proxy and Registration-->change proxy to voip4.freephoneline.ca:6060
Again, this is done to circumvent buggy SIP ALG features in routers. In some cases these features are forced on in routers and modem/router combos or gateways with no way for the customer to disable them.

11) Save settings.

12) Reboot devices: Modem-->router (wait for Wi-Fi SSiDs to populate first)--> and finally ATA. Retest with an incoming call.

Re: Incoming calls go straight to voice mail

Postby vasan » 11/13/2019

I used Cisco 112. All my imcoming calls are going straight to voicemail so I changed to Cisco 122. It worked for about 1 hour and then it went back to going straight to voice mail. Please help me with this problem :( .
Thank you

This is an unbelievable useless answer for your problem, but use Obihai gear instead. The problem with Cisco gear is that it is unbelievably intolerant to misconfiguration. Usually it is your router that is causing the problem, and if you do not have it set properly, Cisco gear does not help to fix the problem at all.

You might want to have everything disconnected for an hour or 2 to see if Freephoneline did not ban you for trying to reconnect too often. It eventually resets, but not if you are trying to reconnect.

Changing to a SPA122 isn't going to fix anything. 112 and 122 are essentially the same ATA, except the 122 has a built-in router with an extra ethernet port.
As such, all the steps I listed previously still apply to you, except now your PDF guide can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=16340#p64442.
You need to follow steps 1 through 12 that I listed previously and answer the questions I asked.

Click viewtopic.php?f=8&t=20199.

Follow the steps, and provide answers for #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 please.


Most probable cause is SIP ALG being enabled in the modem/router combo issued by your ISP or your ATA not being registered.
Disable SIP ALG in the modem/router combo, or use voip4.freephoneline.ca:6060

If you don't provide requested troubleshooting information, your problem just becomes a guessing game.

The thread you originally posted in is completely unrelated, so I merged your post with your old thread.
