Random Incoming Call - CID displays "asterisk"

<< < (3/4) > >>

Northern.Bob:
Try just changing these two settings in Voice Services>Sp1 and/or Sp2:

X_UserAgentPort (5060)


This port is the UDP port for tx/rx SIP packets which by default is 5060 and is being hit by script kiddies looking for trouble. At least that's my understanding.

I set mine to 5065 and so far...  no "asterisk" problem. All other default port settings were left as is to be able to register with Voip.ms.

X_InboundCallRoute  (ph)

which I changed to {asterisk:},{(xxx):},{'asterisk':},{('asterisk'):},{ph}

which hopefully dumps any incoming "asterisk" CID or three digit sets to null.

Worth a try.

N.B.

Northern.Bob... thanks I've made the suggested changes I'll give it a try...I know if I get many more 3am phone calls the wife is going to beat me with the phone.

Just wanted to provide a update...since I made the changes recommended by Northern.Bob I haven't received any more incoming "asterisk" calls.  

Thanks.

Northern.Bob:
Great! Thanks for reporting back on this.

NB

neilio:
I found this thread as I've been suffering from the same problem ever since I switch from a SPA2102 to the OBI100. I'm not exactly sure where I should be inserting the {asterisk:},{(xxx):},{'asterisk':},{('asterisk'):} string into the X_InboundCallRoute field as I have a ton of other stuff in there. I think it's all of the trusted callers I've added.

Should the above string go just before the {ph}?

Also, will switching the port affect registration at all?
