Registration Drop Testing - Round II

**christcorp** · 02-03-2009 11:56 PM

Well that was one hell of a few hours. Finally got the linksys back up and running. I must have changed too many things around. Anyway; between stun and proxy servers, I've got it where it will call out and receive calls on my primary line. I took out the beta line for now. The grandstream I believe is toast. It reboots fine, cycles, finishes with the 2 green lights. After doing a "RESET" I checked the router for the new IP address. But for the life of me, I can't access the damn thing. Oh well. I've got the linksys working and have a home phone working again. I may pull out the old grandstream 286 or another linksys tomorrow and do some more experimenting. But tonight, I'm leaving the grandstream disconnected so in case it decides to get a mind of it's own, it won't interfere with the linksys.

Oh the joy of technology. I feel like "Kip" "Iiiii Love Technology". LOL!!!!!

Keep in mind: *** then 02 should tell you the IP address of the HT ...
Keep in mind: *** then 99 then 9 should Soft Reboot the HT ...

BTW, I like that vPanel shows the software revision under devices.

My router is telling me what the IP address is. It tells me the IP address of every device I have connected. But the browser just sits there forever trying to connect to it. If it was a bad address, it would have come back quickly and said so. I'll experiment with it tonight on a standalone PC and see if I can get to it through the LAN side by connecting a PC to it and letting the grandstream give the PC an IP address through it's router. I think the adapter is bricked, but I'll give it another try tonight. mike....

I had this same experience last week. I finally had to do a hard reset to factory defaults to fix it. I remember having to do it a couple of times and depressing the reset pin for quite a long time.

I did not put in Tim's changes last night. I was still provisioned. This morning I noticed that the vPanel was showing I was not registered (first time since last week). But my adapter is saying I am registered on both lines. I was able to make outgoing calls. When I check my router's NAT table, the entries for 5062 and 5079 were absent. This leads to believe that the adapter is not sending the "Keep Alive" messages to the SIP server every 20 seconds like its supposed to. I rebooted the adapter and I am registered now.

I thought I would report the findings and see if its helpful to the VOIPo folks

Mike, IIRC, with the default configuration, telnet is enabled. You might wanna try that

Yea; I'm probably going to do a HARD Factory reset on it when I get home tonight. It that doesn't work, I'll try telnet. I've rebooted my adapter remotely a number of times that way. Last night after the grandstream just wouldn't register or reprovision; I decided to spend time getting service back using one of my linksys. I'll have more time to play tonight. later... mike...

Hey Vox; thanks for the suggestions. Definitely had to go in through the lan side and turn the WAN telnet side back on. Been working with Justin (voipo) trying to figure it out. Also had to MANUALLY change the provisioning server because factory default wants to go back to grandstream's server. Anyway; we did that, let it reboot and provision a couple of times, stir twice, and served over iCE. YUMMY!!! We also did a lot of experimenting for the next person. But things are definitely stable now. I put my linksys back on the jupiter server with my beta lines. Rule 485; If I'm going to experiment, that's why I have a BETA line. Unfortunately; this was an issue with the grandstreams so I needed to use my main line to experiment with. Anyway; thanks all. ESPECIALLY VoipOJustin And TIM. later... mike....

P.S. I'm glad to get the grandstream working again. This way my 2 antique phones; 1957 payphone and 1910 country junction phone can dial out on rotary. No other adapter seems to allow this. cool!!!!
