I have set in motion the port of our isdn phone number tO my new sip pbx. As of tues/wed next week it will happen and 18 members of staff rely on it for livelihood.
However I’ve got massive issue. After about 10 mins the pbx decides to not hang up calls on termination. This is regardless of who hangs the call. According to logs calls are still active.
Your post does not include and information on versions or configuration of your PBX so impossible to comment on your predicament.
It seems if this is so urgent you should consider using the FreePBX support team. You will have the security of knowing the problem was fixed and your staff will have reliable communications.
Your right.
Latest free pbx
Cisco 7960gs
Connected to Cisco rv082 router with dhcp on
Routers is attached to cable modem router which is also running nat (not though choice)
I appologise I wrote the post from my iphone at home, late last night worrying over what im gonna do for next week.
I am now in the office and would very much appreciate your help. I’d be very very grateful.
What specific logs would you like.
Asterisk log?
sip debug.
Yesterday I found - if I reboot the pbx all is well for about 10mins. Then calls dont hangup.
I have just arrived at the office after 10+ hours and its working again. Its random.
It sounds like a NAT issue - but i just dont have the level of skill for networking.
We have had a significant change in our setup. Our internet connection is fibre from a cable company - Virgin Media.
In order to get a static IP we had to upgrade to their new 50mb service. With this came new equipment - a SuperHub. They no longer supply cable modems, the superhub is a cable modem/router in one. You cannot put it in bridge mode. After long heated discussion - the only solution they had was to join my router to the super hub under a subnet. (they provided extra static IP’s to do this)
So instead of my router getting a local IP from the super hub - I can use one of the statics to pretend to my router that its connected to a standard cable modem.
I even asked if i could purchase my own cable modem - but they have it locked their end by mac address and will not allow other hardware.
I do notice this in the log when the error happens. The phone will not disconnect and says this:
Connected to Asterisk 10.12.1 currently running on localhost (pid = 1457)
Verbosity was 3 and is now 57

Well, that’s a lot different. It’s probably not so much a NAT issue as it is some type of session time out. Have you forwarded ports 5060 and 10000-20000 via this “super hub”? How configurable is it?
I just can’t imagine a carrier not offering bridge mode.
Also you say it’s fiber but then you say cable modem, talking in circles? Is it a symmetric fiber connection or an asymmetric cable modem?
Hi Scott yes I’m considering paid support on Monday. Do you think an hour is sufficient.
It’s a Cisco/linksys rv082 and has Ben working quite well until the superhub change.
Since your buiness is so small maybe try installing PFsense on an extra old machine? It is pretty easy to setup and will tell you whether it is the Cisco router messing with stuff.
I can’t help with your problem as it’s over my head. I just wanted to say that I’ve used the paid support and was very pleased with it. They solved my issues quickly and professionally. I’m with Skyking on this one. You should use them.
And no… I’m not an employee, related to, nor connected with them in any way other than a previous customer.
