Every so often it loses<br>its registration, and it is
hard to get the registration back up. Here<br>is our setup: <br><br>- Eyesurf is our ISP, with an ADSL modem in bridge mode<br>- The modem goes into a pfSense box<br>- The pfSense box goes into an ATA (Linksys SPA8000)<br>- The SPA8000 goes into a Norstar KSU<br><br>Once the account has lost registration, the only way I know how to fix<br>the problem is: <br>- Log into the ATA <br>- Make a nontrivial change (I change the proxy server for voip.ms) <br>- Reboot <br><br>Simply rebooting does not fix the problem. <br><br>I do not think that the ATA hardware is defective, because I have<br>swapped out the ATA for a different one. I have not ruled out that<br>there is something about the SPA8000 itself that is problematic, but I<br>do not think this should be the case: the SPA8000 is composed of a<br>bunch of Linksys 2102 boxes hooked together, and I am using SPA8000s<br>in several other places successfully. <br><br>My next step was going to be porting the
DID to Unlimitel, which has<br>been working reliably for us. But now I think that is stupid: I do not<br>have any other setups like this one: no other setups go through<br>pfSense, and no other setups use Eyesurf as the ISP. <br><br>So, my question: Has anybody else gotten VoIP.ms working reliably with<br>Eyesurf? If your setup uses an ATA that is a bonus for me, but even<br>direct VoIP connections with Asterisk or whatever would be helpful to<br>know. If you have gotten VoIP working reliably on Eyesurf with some<br>other provider then I would be interested in knowing that as well.<br><br>I have heard of one other person who has run into problems with this<br>interaction, but I do not know whether he is too shy to speak up on<br>this list with details. I have a feeling that hiccup did not involve a<br>pfSense box. <br><br>Clearly I have more troubleshooting to do on my end. I had not<br>realized that my setup at this location was so different than
others.<br>But if you have anecdotes (positive or negative) about using Eyesurf<br>with VoIP providers would be helpful. <br><br>- Paul<br><br>-- <br><a href="http://pnijjar.freeshell.org/" target="_blank">http://pnijjar.freeshell.org</a><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>kwlug-disc mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:kwlug-disc@kwlug.org" href="mailto:kwlug-disc@kwlug.org">kwlug-disc@kwlug.org</a><br><a href="http://kwlug.org/mailman/listinfo/kwlug-disc_kwlug.org" target="_blank">http://kwlug.org/mailman/listinfo/kwlug-disc_kwlug.org</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
