Router/GS502 Help!

[digger16309]

Thanks Tim - I'm going to submit a ticket anyway. My 502 took the hard-coded DNS server just fine (thanks for that fix) but either that or the config glitch, caused it to be cycling unmercifully at 5 am this morning.

It took me almost 30 minutes to get it to play nice again, with about 50 reboots, even after I had it set to a static IP address.

It may be fixed but I'd kind of like to try another 502 and see if it has the same behavior.

One question, the VOIPo servers seem to renew SIP registration on my ATA once an hour - or that's what it looks like on my end. I don't know enough about it. Is there a reason for that re-lease in a short timeframe?

digger16309,
are you sure it's the DHCP lease time not the ATA SIP register expiration?

That's what I meant - the ATA SIP register expiration.

Why is that set at 1 hour intervals?

Mostly, I'm just curious about it.

3600 secs is the default value specified by most ATA/SIP phone manufacturer
I do not recall if there is a specific value recommended by any RFCs
since you're curious, you can consult my library, and let us know

This problem is now fixed for me.

No more crazy cycling. And I'm not crazy, nor is my network. I feel better now.

Thanks to everyone who provided suggestions that might help, and also to Tim and especially to Ray.
