Ekiga deaf-mute

It may happen that although your VoIP phone works fine, adding an Ekiga account to the phone is not that successful. Here's my situation:

  • I have a VoIP phone (Siemens Gigaset C590 IP) with an account representing a fixed line from the Czech republic, not needing a STUN server set.

  • I have a router (TP-Link WR741ND) over it.

After adding the Ekiga account the same way as the other account, the account is registered and can receive/send calls, but it's all silent. The solution is:

  • Under the phone management: Settings > Telephony > Advanced VoIP settings - read values of SIP port and RTP ports range.

  • Under the router management: Forwarding > Virtual Servers > Add new... add these two items subsequently:

    • SIP port (probably 5060) forwarding to the IP of your phone (probably 192.168.something.something).

    • RTP ports range (probably 5004-5020) forwarding the same way.

  • Under the phone management: Settings > Telephony > Connections > the Ekiga account - make sure it's like this:

    • Authentication name, Username and Display name are your Ekiga account. Authentication password is your password.

    • Domain, Proxy server address and Registration server are "ekiga.net".

    • STUN is enabled and STUN server is "stun.ekiga.net".

    • All ports are 5060, except for STUN server port which is 3478.

    • I have also set Outbound proxy mode to Automatic and the server is again "ekiga.net" but I don't know if it's necessary.

It's not much Arch specific, but it may help. It's strange the older account works without port forwarding.
