Obi110 ghost calls / European line settings?

(1/4) > >>

Arpad:
I just hooked up an Obi110 and am using CallCentric as the SP1 provider.  Within hours, I started getting "ghost" rings.  It rings for a random amount of time and there's nobody there.  

The logs on the Obi110 show this every three to five minutes:

Terminal ID    LINE1   PHONE1
Peer Name      
Peer Number      
Direction           Inbound            Inbound
09:41:13           Ringing   
09:41:24           End Call

I tried to follow this guide and implemented #2 and #4: http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=5467.msg35387#msg35387

Actually #4 was already set in the config and #2 seems to fix the problem when I set the X_UserAgentPort to 5081 (as suggested by Call Centric support).  HOWEVER, the settings reverts back to 5080, which doesn't seem to help.  (Also, I can't seem to change the admin password - it doesn't "stick" either).  Also, it seems like more of a stop-gap measure until 5081 becomes a target.

Which brings me to my absolute confusion about how all this works.  I don't have port 5060 open, inbound on my network, or any other port for that matter.  Normally, it seems to me, I would have had to port forward to the device and then I could see problem occurring from SIP scanners.  I guess the device registers with the ObiTalk network and connections are proxied into my device from an outbound connection?  But then I really don't understand what I can do to prevent scanning.

I could do some tcpdumping and figure this out but that seems like a lot of work and no guarantee of success since I haven't the foggiest about how I could affect this.

I can't effectively use the device with it ringing every 3 minutes.  Help?

See http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=92.0 for the probable reason that your configuration changes are not "sticking".

Arpad:
Cool.  Yup.  I was just starting to figure that out.  Your link helps even more.  Thank you.

5081 as the UserAgentPort seems to have eliminated the unwanted calls.  I haven't tried to see if I can get wanted calls, yet.

If someone could point me to a good explanation of the network configuration that makes all of this tick, I would appreciate it.

Arpad:
Port 5081 stuck but didn't fix the issue.  Still getting inbound connections.  There were a few hours without issue but now they're back every 5 - 15 minutes.

So I still don't understand.  This Obi device is awesome but if I can't stop periodic ringing then, aargh....!

What do you have in X_InboundCallRoute for SP1 ?
