I have 2 SPA 3000s.

One (in DC) is connected via static public IP to the net and and to a standard POTS line the second (in Rome) as yet has no config and just a handset.

I would like to set them up so that when I dial the DC POTS number it rings in Rome and when I pick up the phone connected to the SPA 3000 in Rome I actually have my DC phone line to make calls on.

I was hoping that I would be able to use the wizard to achieve this but it looks as if that is not possible. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to achieve this. I am new to VOIP but consider myself technically compteant otherwise.

Thanks in advance

I would have to do a seperate Wizard for this as the setup requires a little bit of work.

I did this with a SPA3000 and a SPA-2000, but the idea is basically the same.

On the DC SPA3000 PSTN port, you'll want to configure it to use HTTP Authentication and configure a username/password to use in the appropriate section.

On the Rome SPA3000 on Line 1, you configure the same userid and password that you configured on the DC SPA-3000. You also need to set parameters such as:

Proxy: your DC SPA3000 IP
Register: No
Make Call Without Reg: Yes
Receive Calls Without Reg: Yes

The middle two are important because the SPA3000 isn't a SIP Proxy per-se and won't accept registrations, but will allow you to use the authentication to make calls. The last one allows you to receive calls from your DC SPA-3000 directly.

This takes care of making calls on your DC ports line from Rome. For the other way (DC POTS calls are routed to your handset in Rome), you will also want a Static IP on the Rome side or something like Dynamic DNS to take care of the changing IP address.

On the DC SPA3000, you'll want to set the following on the PSTN Tab:

PSTN Caller Auth Method: None
PSTN Caller Default DP: 6
Dial Plan 6: S0<:username@rome-spa3k-name-or-ip:5060>

Where the username is the same username you used above.

This will set up a "call forward" on the DC SPA3000 to route the call to your Rome SPA-3000.

While this may not be every step, I think there's enough here to get you started.

Thanks for the pointers I have played with this all day to no great avail. I have attempted to follow your pointers but have more questions than answers to this point.

(I take it that DC SPA3000 PSTN port equates to the PSTN Line tab)

I have enetered the following on DC SPA PSTN Line basic tab
Line enable = yes
SIP Port = 5061
Proxy and Registration
Proxy = blank
Register = yes
Make call w/o Reg = no
Ans call w/o reg = no

Subscriber Info
Display name = Roma
User ID = Ken
Password = something-very-secret
Use Auth ID = yes
Auth ID = Ken

SWITCHING TO ADVANCED VIEW I ADDED

Dial Plan 6: = SO<:Ken@IPRomaVOIP:5060>

VoIP-To-PSTN Gateway Setup
VoIP-To-PSTN Gateway Enable = yes
VoIP Caller Auth Method = HTTP Digest
Line 1 Voip Caller DP = 6
Default VoIP Caller DP = 6
Line 1 Fallback = 6

VoIP Users and Passwords (HTTP Auth)
VoIP User 1 Auth ID: = Ken
VoIP User 1 DP = 6
VoIP User 1 Password = Something-very-secret

PSTN-To-VoIP Gateway Setup
PSTN-To-VoIP Gateway Enable = yes
PSTN Caller AUth Method = none
PSTN Ring Thru Line 1 = yes
PSTN PIN max retry = 3
PSTN CID for VoIP CID = no
PSTN Caller default DP = 6

I have a static public IP with all DNS and Gateway info working

For the Rome SPA (I actually have the machine here I am trying to preconfig it and will then send it) I tried it with both DNS and static public IPs

This is what I entered

On the basic Line 1 tab I enetered
Line Enable = yes
SIP port = 5060
Proxy = (the DC SPA static IP)
Register = no
Make call w/o reg = yes
Ans call w/o reg = yes

Subscriber Info
Display Name = Roma
User ID = Ken
Password = something-very-secret
Use Auth ID = yes
Auth ID = Ken


SWITCHING TO ADVANCED VIEW I ADDED

use outbaound proxy = yes
outbound proxy = (the DC SPA static IP)
use DNS srv = yes

When I call the DC POTS line I get a ringing tone and then a busy signal

If I use the DC POTS line to place a call I get a quick busy signal The DC SPA reports Last Called VoIP Number = 127.0.0.1:5060
Last PSTN Disconnect Reason Disconect Tone

Any help would be much appreciated!!

Hi,

Just another user with a similar usage and similar problem, just wondering if you made any progress.

I have played with these settings untill I was blue in the face. (really I am just pale and need to get out more)

It does seem like I am missing something,

any other thoughts.

thanks in advance

[macudc]

NO progress. I am also blue in the face. I have tried everything I can think of, including giving both machine static IP (to take any firwall problems out of the mix) with no joy. I will shortly have to return these units, unless I can get help from somewhere else. I will post here if I find anything.

Let me know if you get anywhere... what kills me is that I must be close as the DC SPA seems to recieve traffic from the Roma unit..... :evil:

cramer - did you succeed in this THROUGH natting firewalls? I truly am ready to send mine back because I canNOT get this to work.

I followed to post, and was able to make calls on the LAN with no problems whatsoever. Then I moved the remote one (I am using a SPA2000) home behind a natting firewall (that has the correct ports open), and it no longer functions.

I can call to the remote office, it rings, and when answered, there is no audio, and when hung up, the PSTN line fails to disconnect unless the line is physically pulled out of the SPA3000 at the office.

I can not get a dial tone when I lift up the receiver connected to the SPA2000 in the remote office.

The INFO page for the SPA3000(PSTN connection) shows 0 bytes/packets received for calls originating on the PSTN side.

I'm dying here, and ready to give up, pending adequate documentation. I can't believe that the Sipura Users Guide doesn't cover this in detail!

If anyone can help me, blessings be upon you, and many thanks!

Crammer, which method did you use the first from Montoya or the Sipura solution?? I am still having issues with method 2 but did not try it with staic public IPs. Am trying that now.

Thanks for the link

When I am trying to make the "bridged calls" the remote office (FXS) shows Mapped RTP Ports of 16xxx >> 16xxx. The PSTN line of the SPA3000 shows 16xxx >> 0.

Reading through the posts, I figured it might have been a NAT problem, so I moved the FXO (SPA3000) outside the firewall, gave it a static outside IP on the T-1. Same result; 0 bytes received and the Mapped RTP Port for the FXS are 16xxx >> 16xxx and for the FXO 16xxx >> 0.

I have basically the same config put forth by Sipura Technology in the above post.

Please comment! THanks in advance

I didn't see where Sipura posted anything (I do not work for Sipura).
