unless that's a highly unusual VoIP provider.

It used to be (or can be). It was really fun when FPL used to not broadcast its external IP:sip port, but that was a long time ago.

Currently, if you're properly configured you don't need to port forward with FPL. If you're not, you will need a workaround, and one common workaround is port forwarding. When FPL/Fongo fiddles with its network, sometimes it forces people to port forward (but you really shouldn't have to anymore).

By the way, I feel using an ATA to run traffic through it in bridge mode from the modem to your router is not advisable since many ATAs will just produce bottleneck doing this (and most aren't good enough to do it properly).

Also, FPL only uses sip port 5060 and a (random port from) RTP range of 16384 (min) to 16482 (max). So if you're going to port forward, you just need to port forward 5060 and 16384-16482. And these are the only ports that matter for the ATA device as well (simply have these specified: 5060 for the sip port; 16384 for RTP port min and 16482 for RTP port max). Port forwarding that ginormous range BTC Kevin listed is like breaking down a wall of your house just to let a little air in.

BTC Kevin posted : I have FPL on TSI works fine, but the best installation method is ROUTER > ATA in bridged mode > MODEM. this ensures ports are not blocked and telephony gets proper QOS.

if the ATA has no built in router and is designed to be a stand alone network device.

ATA > Router > Modem.

BUT, you must forward a bunch of port. These ports are:UDP 5060-6061, UDP 10000-20000. Also set the ATA to a static IP map in the DHCP of router. so that the network mapping rules don't change.

open config on ATA and make sure it's using sip ports in 5060-6061 and RTP inside 10000-20000.

and should work fine. then run a SHIELD UP! scan and ensure the ports are not CLOSED.

This guide looks good »voipfan.net/ATAs/PAP2_freephoneline.php
- NAT Mapping Enable: yes
- NAT Keep Alive Enable: yes
being the most important, didn't need to port forward when I was behind but you can try forwarding port 5060.
To put it in-front I'm just using a switch.
My modem is SB6120.

A switch is a really good idea.
You do NOT want your ATA to bottleneck the traffic going to your router.

One weird thing I have so far is that when I call in with my cell phone, my cell phone goes straight to voicemail. Which is really weird.

EDIT: You MUST Port Range forward all 3 5060 6060 13000 ports. I just added those and now it seems to accept cell phone and regular phone calls. before I port ranged these ones, cell phone calls went straight to voicemail. Now it dials normally

The weirdest thing: as of today, the spa122 works fine with either freephoneline and tektalk. Must have been some router on the teksavvy side since I wasn't able to run tektalk properly even plugged straight on the modem but that's past story! It works!

I find that unlikely. I just read on the Fongo forums that some of their servers were blocking accounts based on registration timeout settings. IPs were being temp blocked based on multiple registration attempts within a short timeframe (considered abuse to them), and calls were going straight to voicemail (despite the ATA indicating being registered).

Registration Expires: 180 to 3600

They're now saying that setting should really be 3600.
If you're unplugging and reconnecting the ATA for testing, the reattempts could have caused a temp IP block.

Someone from Fongo contacted someone I know to tell him server-side changes were being looked into. Regardless, I'm glad it's working for you.

That is of course if the ATA is behind a router which failed even if plugged straight to the modem in DHCP... It registered and I wasn't even able to receive calls when plugged straight to the modem without any router or NAT nor anything blocking traffic. Problem for sure was elsewhere rather than an improper port forwarding. I just find it amazing that the same ATA + router worked #1 on Distributel cable then when brought to my customer's house on Tek cable, had that problem. Traffic was indeed routed differently.

The problem can also occur if the ATA is behind a modem that has a built in router.

Also, if I take my ATA over to someone else's house and plug straight into another modem, the ATA won't work unless I make changes to the WAN side of the ATA device (I often manually make changes).

Also ensure that NAT mapping is enabled in addition to NAT Keep Alive in the ATA device.

By the way, I just tried something, testing different codecs.
When I use the G711u codec (use preferred codec only), my phone rings fine. When I use G711a (use preferred codec only), calls go straight to voice mail. Might be something for you to test (different codecs).

This is also very important for calls:

1. RTP packet size needs to be set to 0.020 on the "SIP" tab of the ATA device. (affects phone call quality)

2. These values also need to be set in the ATA device:

a)Ring Tone Frequency: 52
b)Ring Tone Voltage: 90

But you said you already did that.

Without being there to look at your ATA settings, troubleshooting is pretty difficult.

I'm positive Teksavvy doesn't filter traffic. If Videotron does, then that's pretty bad (I have no doubt it's possible, but I still have a hard time believing they are doing that on purpose to mess up VoIP services).

Anyway, good luck.

VoIP makes use of random RTP ports. If the RTP range isn't forwarded (as UDP ports in the router to the ATA device) properly but a few are or only one out of the entire range is forwarded properly, then it's certainly plausible that the service may work fine on a specific ATA device at a given time--and then randomly not work at all. Consequently, I can't view what you're describing as being anything other than user error (or a faulty ATA device).

It's not as though Teksavvy or Videotron is filtering UDP ports.

If Videotron is filtering ports used by VOiP, then's that pretty brutal (but I sincerely doubt that's happening). Rogers certainly isn't.

Everything in this thread points to improperly configured ATA devices and routers.

Teksavvy should not have to provide tech support for third party VOiP services, third party routers, and third party ATA devices. That's ridiculous.

Freephoneline doesn't support any ATA device that's not bought directly through them (Fongo), which is somewhat unfair, I suppose (but understandable from a business perspective).

Look, you either have internet service or you don't. Unless the ISP is filtering ports (and that's not happening here), the problem is on the other end.

Freephoneline doesn't list configurations for specific ATA devices on their website, and in the configuration list they don't mention to port forward. In their forums, they have configs listed--but not on the website.

If one ATA device is working for you and the other isn't that has nothing to do with Teksavvy.

The problems discussed have nothing to do with Teksavvy.

They have everything to do with ATAs and routers not being setup properly.

1) A number of Linksys ATA devices require you to port forward RTP Port Min and RTP Port Max (typically listed in the "SIP" tab of your ATA device) as a UDP port range in your router to your ATA device.

2) Additionally, the SIP port listed in the "Line 1" tab of your ATA device must also be port forwarded (UDP) to your ATA device from your router.

There's no need for a switch if you have a good router and know what you're doing. It's fairly simple to assign static IPs. Also, your router's NAT firewall can help protect the ATA device (somewhat).

My client has only one line with freephoneline, her home phone, that's it. It was working fine until about 2 weeks ago.

I even tried all freephoneline's IP addresses from 208.65.240.160 to 208.65.240.170 and they all have the same routing (and the same problem on my customer's end).

I should also add, that my PAP2 ATA device registers and never fails registering with FPL, which is what makes this even more confusing and frustrating.

Although I do have a MagicJackPlus for the second line, other than 90 minute time limits, it's been pretty flawless, although their billing is very odd.

vikingisson posted : You can get two IPs from a cable modem so that's why a switch in front of the router works. However I'd not do that unless nothing else works. First question is does the ATA web interface show registration? Is the problem that it looses reg after a period? Or one way audio etc?

You should never need port forwarding for an ATA. It's little different than your PC using NAT through the router except that it's UDP and in the old days NAT was troublesome with SIP. These days it shouldn't be a problem if the router firmware is reasonably new.

It's either a config issue at the ATA and/or router, or it's an issue at the provider. That's the free service you can use on an ATA with a one time fee right? I used to use the free service to bounce google voice off and forward to a real SIP account but that Alberta loophole has been closed recently so perhaps other things have changed.

Not sure if that is what caused the problem since it started all of a sudden with no config changes on my. Since issue started, I have tried so many different config changes, port forwards, DMZ, swapping routers, etc and nothing seemed to help. Issue seems to be that at time of registration expiration, the ATA (PAP2-NA) tries to register again but fails with error message "Can't connect to login server". The same ATA has another line running Teksavvy TekTalk and that line does not have this issue. When issue does occur, resetting the ATA seems to resolve the issue until next registration interval. So far the only thing that seemed to help reduce the symptoms is to up the registration intervals so issue does not happen as often since registration does not happen as often.

Teksavvy suggested putting the ATA in front of my router (but it has never been). My ATA only has one ethernet connection so this is not possible. But if I need to get a new one I will. Just very confused and frustrated.

Thanks for the suggestions and help all, it is appreciated.

BTW, John that ping works fine and my ATA registers with FPL every 3600 seconds without fail.

I do have voip.freephoneline.ca set as the proxy.

It sounds like something somewhere is blocked or behind a firewall. My guess is it's a hardware setting somewhere and the people there are usually very quick in figuring this out.

JonF posted : Hello,

I cannot speak for FPL, But with our tektalk service, when something like this happens it means that the ATA is not connecting to the SIP server.

Can you send me the server that you are connecting too? I do not need your username or password.

Can you register a PC softphone to FPL? That might give you more information...

marksy posted : Hey all,

Happy Holidays. However, mine has been without a home phone since 3pm Dec 24.

I started my Teksavvy cable service on the 20th and pretty much immediately had intermittent service with FreePhoneLine. One of the FPL techs had me reset my ATA device and now I have absolutely no home phone service.

Here is where I'm at (with 2 FPL numbers):

If I call out to an external number or cell, from either of my 2 FPL numbers, the other end rings but no ringing or voices are heard on my end
If I call one line from the other, no ringing on either phone, nothing for 30 seconds then voice mail picks up (and the call is recorded in my ATA device)
If I call either FPL number from another line (or cell) it rings twice then a fast busy signal.

Teksavvy insists it is a FPL issue and of course FPL insists it is a Teksavvy issue, making me feel really comfortable right now.

My main question here; FPL is telling me that I have to open up port 5060 on the Thomson DCM476 modem. which they say is locked by default. It is already opened on my Linksys router.

Teksavvy insists all ports on the modem are not locked and are open.

Does anyone know? I cannot seem to find anything at all on this modem, leading me to believe Teksavvy. However, all of the problems started once I switched the modem. Before that I had uninterrupted service for over 2 years.

Thanks.
