Fortigate issues such as one way audio on Call Pickup With Hosted Asterisk and other problems.

We have noted that with some Fortigate routers and firewalls come with SIP helpers enabled by default.

The customer may initially not think that there is any issue and inbound and outbound calls work as expected, But we had noted on one customer site that when they did a call pickup on another phone that was ringing in the office they would not be able to hear the caller. The caller could hear them and if they put the call on and off hold they could speak normally.

On further  investigation with wireshark we noted that the RTP port changed when the pickup took place. We tested this on other sites not using the Fortigate hardware and did not have this issue.

Below are listed the commands to clear the SIP helper settings from the Fortigate hardware.

  1. Open the Fortigate CLI from the dashboard.
  2. Enter the following commands in FortiGate’s CLI:
    • config system settings
    • set sip-helper disable
    • set sip-nat-trace disable
    • reboot the device
  3. Reopen CLI and enter the following commands – do not enter the text after //:
    • config system session-helper
    • show    //locate the SIP entry, usually 12, but can vary.
    • delete 12     //or the number that you identified from the previous command.
  4. Disable RTP processing as follows:
    • config voip profile
    • edit default
    • config sip
    • set rtp disable
  5. And finally:
    • config system settings
    • set default-voip-alg-mode kernel-helper based
    • End

on a fortigate 200D the following is the method to use

Step 1) Removing the session helper.

Run the following commands:

config system session-helper
  show

Amongst the displayed settings will be one similar to the following example:

    edit 13
        set name sip
        set protocol 17
        set port 5060

In this example the next commands would be:

delete 13
end
Step 2) Change the default –voip –alg-mode.

Run the following commands:

config system settings
set default-voip-alg-mode kernel-helper based
end
Step 3) Either clear sessions or reboot to make sure changes take effect

a) To clear sessions

The command to clear sessions applies to ALL sessions unless a filter is applied, and therefore will interrupt traffic.

diagnose system session clear

Elmeg IP290 Configuration

elmeg_290_large

 

The Elmeg IP290 are a clone of the Old Snom 190 Sets. and these did support auto configuration. We hoped that it was a simple change to get the files working with the Elmeg.

It turns out that it wasn’t, There are a few gotchas.

  1. The phones dont seem to support tftp download, Just http and https
  2. They dont support sub directories. So files must be in the root directory of your webserver.

Firstly you need to configure your dhcpd.conf

Add the following to the general section

option snom-setting code 66 = string;
option snom-bootfile code 67 = string;

Then the following to the subnet

class “snom-phones” {
match if substring(hardware,1,3) = 00:09:4f;
option snom-setting “https://SERVERIP”;
}

Theb the following are the two files you need to create .

elmegIP290.htm

<html>

<pre>

# example snom general setting file

# After each setting (before the colon) you can set a flag

# General language and time configuration parameter

Digium Handsets

The Only Phones Built Specifically For Asterisk

  • asteriskEasy provisioning from Asterisk or AsteriskNOW
  • Integrated with Asterisk voicemail, directory, parking, call recordings, call queues and more
  • Build custom phone apps with a simple JavaScript API

Digium’s family of IP Phones are the first on the market built specifically for use with Asterisk and Asterisk-based systems. All models include HD audio and plug-and-play deployment at a price that fits any budget. With multiple line appearances, context-aware soft keys, and advanced applications that integrate directly with Asterisk features, the Digium phones offer a better user experience than any other phone on the market.

Asterisk Phone Features

Smart Software

Access to information is the key to productivity in today’s business environment. The integrated applications that come standard with all Digium phones put critical information at your fingertips. With voicemail, call log, contacts, phone status, user presence, parking, call recording and call queue interface, the Digium phones provide simple, intuitive access to a wealth of information, saving valuable time.

 Simplified Provisioning

Standards-based IP phones have a reputation for being difficult to install and configure. Most systems require changes to network configurations or additional components to facilitate deployment. Digium phones support plug-and-play provisioning. Simply plug in the phone and it will automatically discover Asterisk systems on the network. Select the user you want to assign to the phone and the proper configuration is instantly loaded. For larger deployments you can pre-assign phones by tying a MAC address to an Asterisk user. It’s that simple.

Custom Applications

Most desktop phones come with a fixed feature-set that is determined exclusively by the manufacturer. Digium phones are different. All models include the Digium app engine, an innovative feature that makes it remarkably simple to build and deploy custom apps. All of the productivity apps that ship with a Digium Phone are written with the JavaScript API that is used by the app engine. A BETA version of the phone firmware with app development tools is available at phones.digium.com, along with documentation for developing your custom apps.

Getting Started With Digium Phones

Get AsteriskDigium phones will work with any version of Asterisk. However, we’ve added some compelling features that are only available today in Asterisk 11 or in special branches of Asterisk 1.8 (seeCertified Asterisk) and Asterisk 10 (the -digiumphones branch). To take advantage of simple provisioning, integrated applications and the app engine, you will need to use one of these versions
