Remote extensions unable to send audio

FreePBX Endpoints

Hello,

I am having trouble with my remote extensions on my FreePBX Phone server. When I make a call to or from a remote extension, I am unable to hear any audio. I have forwarded the necessary ports (UDP port 5060 for SIP signaling and UDP ports 10000-20000 for RTP Media) on my router and firewall, but the problem persists.

This is almost always a nat issue.

Is the PBX behind double NAT?

In Asterisk SIP Settings, confirm that External Address and Local Networks are correctly set. If you change them, after Submit and Apply Config you must restart Asterisk.

If that’s not your issue, at the Asterisk command prompt type
pjsip set logger on
or
sip set debug on
according to extension type. Make a failing call, paste the Asterisk log for the call at pastebin.com and post the link here. If you are too new to post links, just post the last 8 characters of the URL.

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion here’s what happened,

[root@freepbx ~]# pjsip set logger on
-bash: pjsip: command not found
[root@freepbx ~]# sip set debug on
-bash: sip: command not found

my router has an Inbuilt firewall, I am also using the FreePBX Firewall

These are Asterisk commands, not shell commands. At a root shell prompt, type
asterisk -r
and then issue the logger/debug commands.

Make/model? VoIP-related settings? Does it get a public IP address on its WAN interface? If not, is modem configured as a gateway?

asterisk -rvvv please so it contains the asterisk logs as well.

Okay I got the logs working, how do I pause it
and my router is a ARRIS TG2492LG-85 Router by Virgin Media

It appears that extension 209, though physically connected through H3G (Three) mobile data, is using a VPN from Securax with the server in Bulgaria. Though I can’t explain it completely, I suspect that the H3G address presented in the SDP on line 1174 of the log is somehow confusing Asterisk.

Please test with the VPN disabled. If that works ok, if it’s possible (and acceptable) to bypass the VPN for Zoiper, that would be simplest. Otherwise, we can look at Zoiper and/or Asterisk settings that may be a workaround.

If it still fails with the VPN off, please paste another log, with data taken from the Asterisk log (/var/log/asterisk/full), rather than the console output.
