PROBLEM

CORRECTIVE ACTION

There is no dial

tone or I can’t make

or receive calls.
or
There is beeping

instead of the dial

tone.

Check the telephone connections and telephone wire.
Beeping means that there is not a SIP account registered for the phone to use.
You can check the Prestige’s IP addresses and VoIP status in the Maintenance

Status screen.
Make sure you have the VoIP screen properly configured. If you configured a SIP

account to receive calls on only one of the phone ports, make sure your phone is

connected to that port.
Make sure you have the Phone Port screen properly configured. If you

configured a phone port to only use one of the SIP accounts for outgoing calls,

make sure that SIP account is properly configured and active (see the VoIP and

Maintenance Status screens).

There is a beep

before the dial tone.

A single beep before the dial tone indicates that there is a voice message for SIP

account 1.
Two beeps before the dial tone indicate that there is a voice message for SIP

account 2.
Use your voice service provider’s instructions to check your voice messages.

PROBLEM

CORRECTIVE ACTION

After the VoIP is

configured and

working, others are

unable to call you

or you lose your

connection during a

call. There is a NAT

router between the

Prestige and the

SIP server.

This could be caused by a short NAT UDP session timeout on the NAT router.

When the SIP session’s entry in the NAT table times out, the NAT router does not

have any record to use for forwarding VoIP traffic to the Prestige.
If possible, set the NAT router to use a longer NAT UDP session timeout.
Otherwise, try one of the following:

Shorten the registration expiration period (see the Expiration Duration field

in the VoIP Advanced screen) in order to cause the Prestige to re-register

with the SIP register server more frequently. Note that this will not help if the

SIP register server enforces a long registration expiration period (since the

Prestige will also use the period set by the SIP register server).

Use STUN. If your VoIP service provider does not have a STUN server, you

can still enable STUN and enter the IP address and port number of the SIP

server in the STUN server fields. This causes the Prestige to send STUN

requests to the SIP server. While this will not make STUN work (since there

won’t be any responses to the STUN requests), it should keep the NAT UDP

session in the NAT router.
