FreePBX not replying to OPTIONS ping

We use an ISP called Bright House Networks here in central florida to provide us with SIP trunks for our PBX. Outgoing calls are working like a champ, but incoming calls ring twice and then end with an “all circuits are busy” message.

I attempted to get support from Bright House and apparently they continously send our pbx an “OPTIONS” ping to which our pbx needs to reply to in order to kep the connection alive. Our pbx is not responding to this ping according to them. I have tried to google my way to success and look through every option that freepbx has in the gui, but to no avail. I turned off all firewalls, and the PBX is connected directly to a SIP switch (Audiocodes Mediant 800) which they provided us with which connects to a dedicated fiber line.

Please help.

Here is some debug output.
