I see a lot of different posts and people are mentioning more and more ports. I'm trying to set up my router and would like to label the entries, not just voip1, voip2 etc.
What do I need for the softphone? Do I need one port or a whole range?
I have been seeing:
53 69, 5060-5061, 6060, 6061, 13000, 13001 and even 16384-16482. Seriously?
What do I need for the softphone and can you tell me what the ports are used for. ex. 13000 is for incoming voice, 13000 for outgoing voice, 5060 for incoming ata traffic, 5061 for outgoing traffic etc. It'll help me understand the ATA and the softphone.
My issue, my ATA suddenly stopped all calls tonight, it was working last night without any changes, no dial tone even.
Then I launched the softphone to see if that was even working and it says no connection to server, it was working last week. Weird.
What ports for softphone and ATA?

Re: What ports for softphone and ATA?
Still, what are all the ports for and specifically what does each port do? I'd like to label them in my router.
This is for both the ATA and the softphone.

Re: What ports for softphone and ATA?
Softphone requires the following UDP ports to be open and forwarded to your computer:
13000, 13001, 5060, 5061, 6060 and 6061
As for ATA, typically you will only need 5061, but forwarding them all certainly helps your chances

Re: What ports for softphone and ATA?
oh and their typical use:
5060 TCP UDP Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Official
5061 TCP Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) over TLS
The others aren't officially documented and well established, so we can't really know what they're for unless the developers tell us.

I don't think TCP is needed. I was told by FPL "Dear Customer,laurent wrote:oh and their typical use:

If you are experiencing issues and must port forward to make your ATA work, then
UDP port 5060 is usually the only one needed to forward."
so who know

Re: What ports for softphone and ATA?
yeah that was just a quick copy/paste from wikipedia. As per my previous post indicated, all ports are UDP only.
