Hi,it is Option 11c release 4.5 with SS and VGMC installed. 20 IP phone also working within office . Now Admin wants that executive should able to run IP phone from anywhere outside, and for some reason they dont wants to use VPN.
Despite they provided a 2 MB separate link and installed firewall, the noder IP of SS was bind to firewall. But when i try to run IP phone from outside i cant get register IP phone. In IP phone i am assiging public IP (a public IP was assigned to firewall which then binded to SS node IP) of firwall in IP phone settings (like we use to gave SS node IP within office).
Can somebody help why IP phone wont registering and howq can i run IP phone using public IP through internet cloud?
Note i am able to ping SS through public IP.
Regards
 
When the phone registers to the Node IP, it is immediately redirected to the IP address of a TPS server. (This may be the same box the Node IP lives on, but the IP is the TPS TLAN IP address)

Since the phone needs to talk to the Node IP, the TLAN IP of the TPS as well as the TLAN IP of the DSP resources, ALL of these TLAN IP addresses need to be a public IP address that the phone can route to and see.

Thanks for the info,
Isnt there any way to use a single public IP or 2 public IP`s
beside assigning each device (DSP,MGC,MC32 etc) a public IP?
Through VPN it is working OK but i need to setup through public IP.
Regards,
 
I don't understand - why doesn't he want to use a VPN? I hope the company doesn't have any persnally identifable information available online - besides that anyone could use Wireshark or other snooping software to listen to the conversations. I don't know what business line the company is in, but the "xxx Co. had xxx information stolen" is something my CEO would not want to see spread over the news.

Does he want to have a hard phone at home? Get a Nortel VPN router 221 or 1050 and branch office tunnel to the host network. I have several people (including myself) using the 2050 softphone with ether the IPSec Contivity client, or like I do, use the VPN Gateway SSL along with Netdirect Java client into out network. During a massive snowstorm a couple of years ago, two of us took Help Desk calls for a couple of hours at home via VPN until we could get staff dug out and to the office.
 
You need a VPN and NAT, or everything has to have a public IP.

In addition to the system devices, that remote phone needs to see the other phones as well.

IP is peer to peer for the media path.
