Calls Dropping every now and then

General Help
1

Hello everyone,

Our FreePBX seems to work great, 8 out of 10 calls also work flawless, but every now and then we don’t have “audio” from a internal phone to another internal phone. We call a “ring group” and a external cell phone is included in the ring group but we basically don’t use the external cell phone, it only “rings” When we hear it ringing we walk to our VoiP Phone.

in the logging i found :

Does someone maybe has an idea? Should i even search this error on the PBX side?

it’s basically a internal phone calling a internal call group , and we pick up on another internal phone, behind the same NAT

Edit : in my VoIP phone i see a call with a normal duration of 30 secs , but totally quiet during this call , no audio at all

30 seconds and no audio are your magic pointers here. You are hitting the rtp timeout. If both phones are on the same network as the pbx this shouldn’t be an issue. Essentially you traffic on ports 10000-20000 (default range) is being blocked somewhere.

Worth skimming through…

Thank You so much ! yes, they’re both on the same network , behind a PFsense firewall.
In my firewall i forward UDP port 10000 - 11000 ,

RTP settings FreePBX:
RTP start 10000
RTP end 11000
timeout: 30
RTP Hold Timeout 300
RTP Keep Alive 0

edit: as a workaround i could easily try to increase the RTP timeout to 40 secs for example ?
PBX and both phones are on the same network
