SIP ALG Detector

 

SIP ALG is the primary issue we face when turning up VOIP services. This software is a quick and easy way to determine if SIP ALG is on. We advise you turn it off.

Once you have the page up, click the “This link” under “Client Based Testing”. The program is small and can be removed once the test has been completed.

These calls are often made by telemarketers, scammers, or automated systems (robocalls) attempting to deceive or annoy the recipient.

Equipment Troubleshooting

Connectivity Problems:

  • No dial tone: This could indicate a network issue, incorrect account settings, or a problem with the phone's provisioning.

  • Calls not connecting: Similar to no dial tone, this could be due to network problems, misconfigured settings, or issues with the VoIP service provider.

  • One-way audio or call quality issues: This might be caused by network congestion, jitter (delays), or problems with the phone's hardware.

Configuration Issues:

  • Phone not registering with the server: Incorrect account information, server details, or firewall restrictions can prevent registration.

  • Features not working properly: Specific functionalities like call forwarding, voicemail, or call recording might not work due to misconfiguration.

Other Issues:

  • Physical damage: A damaged phone handset or faulty power cable can cause various malfunctions.

Power and Connection:

  • Ensure the phone is properly plugged into a working power outlet. If using PoE (Power over Ethernet), verify the switch or hub is PoE compliant.

  • Check for any damage to the power cable or ethernet cable. Try using a different cable to rule out cable issues. Try using a known working ethernet jack if one is available.

Restart the Phone:

  • Power cycle the phone by unplugging it for at least 30 seconds and then plugging it back in.

Network and Configuration:

  • Verify the phone has obtained a valid IP address. You can find the IP address of the phone by pressing the “OK” button. You’re looking for the IPv4 address.
