said by pdivi :Down for me today -- no outbound calls. I have had an extended outage at least once every two days for the past month. Currently caller #15 in the support queue, which means at least a one hour wait. What server are you on? If others are working on the same server, then it is the equipment on your side I would be looking at. ATA, router, ISP, etc. I am on sanfrancisco-1. |

join:2004-02-10 USA | This morning, dialtone but no outbound or inbound. San Francisco server. Switched to Chicago, outbound now works but still no inbound from PSTN or other VOIP providers. Other VOIP providers are working properly on my LAN using another PAP2. |

When you switch between cities, I believe it can take a min or so for incoming calls to find you again. Have you given it a try since?

Switched to Chicago, outbound now works but still no inbound from PSTN or other VOIP providers. Other VOIP providers are working properly on my LAN using another PAP2. I just noticed something interesting as I just tested against my cell phone. I called my cell and it rang just fine. I let it ring once, then hung up. My cell phone continued to run through all the rings as though I never hung up. I was able to repeat this behavior. So it appears that the server did not receive a termination signal correctly...and so it continued to try to connect to my cell? This is not normal, so something is going on. I can make outgoing calls...and I can receive calls just fine. Just notice this one issue. Again, I'm on sanfrancisco-1.
Edit: Spoke too soon. Got cut off a call (lost audio completely). After a short time, I was able to dial back out. I checked CP...and it did not fail me over to another server. So I guess sanfrancisco is not down...but being flakey.
Last night I noticed that I kept getting moved from sanfrancisco-1 to various other servers. But I never lost service, so I wasn't worried. But maybe this was an indication that sanfrancsico-1 was beginning to have issues. This morning has become more apparent.
Edit: Ok, I just got cutoff my phone call again. Failover to houston-1 did occur this time. While on sanrancisco-1, my call completely lost audio...and if I waited long enough it eventually gave me a busy signal. |

I think about the same time as you we lost audio as well but was able to dial out again within about a minute. I didn't check to see if I was routed to another server.
But I also noticed last night in the VT CP it kept showing different servers.. chicago, new york, houston, although my primary is sanfrancisco. Is that the way it works.. In your phone adapter it always shows your primary in the proxy field but the VT Control Panel shows the one you're actually connected to for the time being? |

I'm BYOD, with my adapter configured to richmond-1 and SRV records enabled. Earlier, my adapter showed newyork-1; it's back to richmond-1 now. |

| Fisamo,
Do you have dynamic enabled on your VT control panel. I tried enabling mine this morning and it wouldn't let me. Thought maybe that BYOD couldn't use it since VT doesn't have control over my device. -- FWD#: 223611 |

| You can setup the use of SRV records on your device if you would like, however you are correct in stating that the changes you make via your CP will have no effect upon your device.

| reply to ropeguru As VTBrendan said, the control panel settings don't matter. Before I realized that, I tried setting dynamic on the control panel, and it would give me an error stating "Please choose a server first."
dcurrey posted the settings that enable the dynamic routing for BYOD users in this post. |
