Sometimes I hear audio, sometimes no! And busy lines

Hi!

I have installed 3cx v9.0.13545.594
I have two VOIP lines, and I use a 3cx software phone, as also a Linksys SPA-941

I am having two problems

1. Sometimes I do calls without any problems. But sometimes, when I call someone, I hear it ringing, but then, when it "connects" I do not hear anything (And the other one is also not hearing anything). Any ideas what could it be? This seems to happen also when someone calls me. I can't hear anything.

2. Sometimes, when someone calls me, they get busy tone. But no one is using the phone in the office.

I do not have to solve this!

Any ideas?

Juan
 
If these are all problem from outside lines calling in, I would suspect that your router/firewall is blocking some of the ports used by 3CX. Have you run the Firewall Checker on the 3CX console under Settings?

Hi!

I have a 3Com Gigabit Router with firewall. I run the firewall checker, and it passes every test.
 
Do you have another router you can try, that's the fastest way to see if your current one is the culprit? Can you disable any firewall settings? What about putting the 3CX PC on a DMZ?

The busy condition that some callers reach implies that your 3Cx is not registered at that time or that there was no response when the call was sent to it. Because that is intermittent it is much harder to troubleshoot. If you can duplicate it, then check the 3CX logs to see if there is an entry showing a call attempt.

Wireshark may also be the way to go. If you can insert it between your modem and router, make some calls, and then try again between the router and 3CX PC, it may indicate what isn't passing through.
 
Does this helps to make a diagnosis?

Some (all?) of the voice packets are not getting through. You need to "adjust" the settings (port forwarding/firewall) on the router or try a different router.
 
Let's see... This is what I have now

For the firewall

It could be that firewall is blocking ports 10000 and up. Some routers with an additional firewall can cause issues with ports that don't normally require forwarding. This post might give you a bit more to work with...

From what I read I understand that I have more ports than necesarry that are ok on my router to avoid any problems, but I still get the problem!

What else can I do???

Thanks!
 
Maybe this helps?
