Still no luck with registering...
Anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks!
Are you using the Video button to initiate the call and to answer the call on the other end? Did you mistakenly hit the "Hide Video" button (right next to video) and hide the video?Do I need to open a port in the router to allow video back ?
We have several of these registered and working fine except just one way video between them. If I call to a xlite softphone I get 2 way video there but never on the Nortel ?
I was able to repeatedly remotely register two of these phones no problem whatever (I played just with two phones from my shipment).
But I input IP #, not FQDN into the Proxy entry, that might be your problem unless you also tried numeric IP (public IP of the remote router that your PIAF is behind) I didn't try connecting using FQDN for proxy server but perhaps this phone has difficulty with that.
BTW it seems it doesn't matter what you input as Domain - I even input there my name... but perhaps as long as something, whatever is there.
As for TravelinMan, are you sure you allowed your remote IP? Because if you did that from your cell phone it could have IP different from your place if it wasn't connecting via your own wifi... if that was via some cell wifi then the IP permitted would be different (if you get what I am trying to say). Best is to 'allow' your location from a PC at the remote location where the phone is located. And even better allow your remote IP in the extension permit field in PIAF (and don't rely on TravelinMan working, I mean until you know that registration works).
Also in FPBX is that SIP Security section where at the top you setup the info that we used to write to sip_nat.conf file (externip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or externhost=FQDN, localnet=192.168.1.0) because FPBX didn't have this module in versions prior to 2.6 I think. But I suppose that's just for solving the 'two way voice' problem, not registering the phone as such. I just mention it to give you some ideas.
There are two "Turkish" models out there... one with WiFi and one without. Both can be set to english language... but the version without WiFi is missing the radio hardware daughter board.Can anyone tell me what I'll be missing out on by buying the Turkish model? I've read no upgrades, but is that something that we'll need in the future, etc? Thanks for any help so I can pull the trigger on a couple.

For what it is worth, try hooking the phone with different CAT5e cable, I've been playing with Aastra 480i at home (just registering it locally) and found it registered on one cable but not when I hooked it on short cable directly to another port on my switch, these are those things one doesn't think of. It might be the same with Nortel phone but I didn't try with that cable with it. Not sure what was the problem, later on I was able to register, maybe its the way those RJ45 connectors are seated or what, you could try another cable or at least replug the one you got.... I don't see anything at all in the CLI when I try registering it.
Any other ideas?
Could it be that there's another port I need to forward to my phone server?
Thanks!
