Need help registering Valcom IP Horn with 102b software

Running into an issue while trying to REGISTER a Valcom IP horn. Hoping someone with experience with these horns can help. Oddly enough, I’ve been able to get one horn working in a test environment about 3 years ago - then the project was put on-hold until last week when I had to start from scratch.

Horn is on same subnet as FreePBX - both in the 10.2.1.x subnet.

Here are the results of PJSIP debugging. The horn tries to register, is refused, then comes back with the CSEQ incremented by one - but the FreePBX system is refusing. I’ve confirmed the horn has the correct password programmed via the Valcom 102b software.

Also … FreePBX 15.0.16.81

Many devices can’t handle the long password auto-generated by FreePBX. Please test the Valcom with a short password (no more than 12 characters) consisting of only letters and digits. Paste the same value into the Valcom and into Secret for extension 1280, so you are sure that they match.

If you still have trouble, temporarily shut down the Valcom and configure a softphone or another device for extension 1280 with the same password and confirm that it registers ok.

You are a life-saver !

That was the solution. I changed to a short password in FreePBX, Applied the changes. I updated the Valcom to the shorter password.

Now it’s registering properly and life is good.

THANK YOU!
