Event ID 50029 Error

[jonesy12]

Hi All,

I'm occasionally getting the error below when people are trying to call into my phone system, it is hosted in Amazon Lightsail with a staic IP and has passed the firewall check. I also have SIP ALG turned off within my network and have an SBC running on a Raspberry Pi.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Could you please mention which SIP Trunk provider is being used? Is it one of the 3CX supported providers? Was it added using the default PBX template, or was a modified template used?

The event 50029 you are seeing is related to the ACK (Acknowledge) message not being received. If the ACK is not received, the call will drop as the call is not being kept alive. Missing ACKs may be related to firewall issues, port forwarding configuration, or a dynamic IP setup. To check this, a suggestion is performing a packet capture while the issue is reproduced, to then check the SIP dialogue.

Also, please confirm whether the firewall test under Admin > Dashboard > Troubleshooting > Firewall completes successfully.

We are using a Voiceflex SIP truck which we have used successfully elsewhere. The firewall check passed successfully and it's very hard to do a packet capture as it only happens a few times a day.

In the latest release of Update8 we have also introduced the Voip Provider Checker which will help you to check this further and identify the root cause of the issue. You may try and give us your feedback.

Thanks for this, I ran the analysis. The trunk and incoming call are all good. I can't get the outbound call to work because it says registration failed, but I tried this in another 3CX tenant I have, and it came up with the same error.

Check also on your provider side to clarify, maybe the ip is not allowed from them.

 

[jonesy12]

It only happens occasionally, 90% of calls are fine.

 

[TheodorosG_3CX]

This error is specific meaning that ACK is not received.
It can either not be received in the NIC of the PBX or it is not send from the provider.
If packets are not coming this is on the network level otherwise the provider can clarify if they did send the ACK.

 

[jonesy12]

This is an outgoing call so which side does that mean the issue is more likely to be on?

Do you have ACL on your sip trunk and is your PBX on dynamic IP?

 

[jonesy12]

No we don't and the PBX is on a static IP.

I am getting confused here. Can you please clarify if the issue is with inbound or outbound calls? The PBX will drop the call with the error ACK not received when the call is inbound.
Also Voiceflex is a registration based trunk. Is the trunk registered? Does it show as green in the PBX?

I would start a tshark capture on the PBX and leave it running. Tshark can split the capture into smaller pieces and save them so it will not eat up all your RAM. Once the issue occurs stop the tshark and find the file with the timestamp closer to the when the issue occurred. Check it and see if the ACK is send or received depending on the call you are trying to make.

 

[jonesy12]

The issue is with outgoing calls occasionally not working and coming up with the error I originally posted. The trunk is green and working fine for most outgoing calls and incoming (except for the occasional incoming call where the callee cant hear the caller.) Can you advise how I would run a Tshark capture?

 

[YiannisH_3CX]

You can find the tshark manual here. The interfaces and filters depend on your setup but a general command would be
tshark -F libpcap -i any -b filesize:20480 -w /home/3cx.pcap

This will capture all interfaces and split the files to 20mb chunks and will save them in the home directory. You should modify as needed.
