Troubleshooting the Phone Proxy

Configuring Your Router

Your firewall/router needs to be configured to forward a range of UDP ports to the IP phone. This will
allow the IP phone to receive audio when you make/receive calls.

Note

Different Cable/DSL routers have different procedures for this configuration. Furthermore most
NAT-capable routers will only allow a given port range to be forwarded to a single IP address

The configuration of each brand/model of firewall/router is different, but the task is the same. For
specific instructions for your brand and model of router, please contact the manufacturer’s website.
