Zulu won't connect on WAN

Commercial Modules
1

I am having issues with Zulu connecting to my PBX.

I can originate a call from Zulu but only to send the call to my desk phone. The softphone does not work (It says softphone (offline) - RECONNECT). The behavior is the same whether the computer with Zulu is connecting to my PBX over LAN or WAN

Log when Zulu is on same LAN as PBX

My PBX is in the DMZ, I also have port 8089 and 8002 forwarded to the PBX (does that even matter if it’s in the DMZ?). My PBX firewall is set to allow Zulu service on Internet, Local, and Other.

I attempted to connect with the PBX firewall disabled, that didn’t work either. Logs when firewall was disabled:

Any ideas?

Port 8089 is blocked on your WAN side.

I have port 8089 forwarded to my PBX in my router. Is there something in FreePBX I need to open?

You may need to adjust firewall or iptables. Not sure what your configuration is.

Andrew,

It did appear to be a firewall issue. Disabling my FreePBX firewall allowed it to connect. I ended up adding a custom service in the FreePBX firewall for TCP port 8089. That seems to do the trick.
