[Serusers] rtpproxy + nathelper problem

Remember to have NAT mapping enabled on the Sipura (Admin > Advanced > Line1), what kind of firewall/router are you using? It must be symmetric, meaning not only does the port 58698 have to remain open but SER must be able to communicate with your device on that same port. This is of course a common problem with NAT's.

	I've had problems with linux firewalls running iptables, it would work fine until the UA would reboot, then it would register on another port and for some reason it just wouldn't traverse anymore. Small routers such as linksys, 3com, netgear work just peachy.

Hi,

I use the ser.cfg below. I have rtpproxy running. Sipura 2000 can register now without STUN server. However, the registration port is 58698 not 5060.

Here is the SIP address after registration: sip:811 at 218.xxx.xxx.xxx:58698
