Have any of you successfully connected X-Lite client to Teleworker? If yes please tell us how??
 
I have used X-lite, Bria and iSip ( on an iTouch ) to work as a teleworker. One question is can you get the client to work on the local LAN?

There may be no i in team but there are three f's in fudge off.
 
I've done it.
It was one of those things where I had an hour to kill and thought I'd try it out.
I already had the client firedup and working on my desktop internally for some time. I then loaded up the Xlite client on my laptop and pointed it to the external IP address of the MBG with the same credentials my desktop had. I was using a Sprint Card for internet access.

I hate to say it but the thing *just worked*. I was expecting to have to fight through things a bit but never had to. As a matter of fact, when I called the extension and the thing rang, the first thing that went through my head was I did something wrong. It just couldn't have been that easy.

What I wanted is to do is connecting from the internet to our teleworker server, using x-lite softphone.

I haven't been able to succesfully do that... however Minet Phones are working perfectly

Any ideas how to setup X-lite SIP extension to register with our teleworker server?
 
dryaquaman,

here are a few questions:

1. Did you forward UDP port 5060 from the public IP of your Firewall to the internal IP of your teleworker? Do you have your teleworker as server only mode?
2. What mac address do you use when adding the user to your MBG? Laptop mac address?
3. Do you of course enable SIP client connector on your MBG? Any special options to select?

I have tried all the above but my x-lite can't find the MBG. Nor MBG sees the x-lite client trying to register.

Regards,
Daniel
 
1- Our server has a public IP address so I didn't need to forward.
2- Didn't have to do anything with the MAC. This is one of the things I thought I'd have to play with, but again, it just worked.
3- I just did a quick check to see if the SIP connector was enabled. It is. I don't remember enabling it but I must have at some point. There really weren't any special options I enabled.

Again I will ask did you get the SIP client to work internaly?

There may be no i in team but there are three f's in fudge off.
 
I have done this sucessfully before and there wasnt much to it. First I registered the set inide the office and made it register to the LAN address of my 3300. Then I changed the pbx ip in xlite to the public ip of my teleworker. It came on and registered just fine after that. Prior to this I noticed it would register through the teleworker initially and thats what prompted me to register it on the lan first.
 
cknipe,

The thing is: What do you enter for the Device ID? (Device Tab, MBG)

When Adding new Mitel Phones this will be the mac address of the device... No Idea what to enter here when Adding a SoftPhone (X-Lite)
 
I dont remember having to enter it in the MBG side. Though once youre registered on the LAN side you could look in maint & diagnostics and look at the registered telephones and see if it will show you the mac that is currently in use.
 
With SIP phones you don't enter MAC addresses like you would a desk phone. Program the SIP phone, use it's own extention number as the password.
Get it up working first internally then get it working on the MBG so you know what issues you're fighting with first.

There is step by step instruction at Mitel's knowledge base on how to configure a BRIA/Xlite to MBG. No brainer.

Display Name: Extension Number

User name: Extension Number

Password: This can be set in the multiline set form

Authorization user name: Extension Number

Domain: Public IP Address of MBG

Check Register with domain and receive incoming calls

Check proxy and enter Public IP Address of MBG:5060 example

1.2.3.4:5060

Knowledge is power, thats why we share!
 
just a note from the MBG EG to remember:

'While the majority of traffic in MBG is encrypted, release 5.0 introduces support for SIP. Our implementation is UDP-based, and unencrypted at this time. Additionally the RTP streams for the voice call are also plain RTP, and thus unencrypted. As our SIP implementation cannot make use of SRTP at this time, calls between SIP and MiNet sets are also “in the clear”.'
 
Voipin,

Can you tell us Article ID # of that Step by Step document?

Couldn't find that on MOL...

Regards,

Daniel
 
Voipin,

I found the document you have previously mentioned... However, it looks to be for older versions of the multi-Protocol Border Gateway.

New version on Mitel Border Gateway (MSL 9.1.29.0) asks you to enter the mac address (Device ID) when adding new devices, either for MiNet or SIP devices.

I have tried entering laptops IP address and it doesn't work...

Any help will be appreciated,

Regards,

Daniel
 
You are not required to enter device mac address on MBG server. MBG is acting as a SIP proxy server which intern forwards all traffic to 3300.

Mitel documentation is not like Cisco documentation. They usually give you half of the instructions and let you figure out the rest.

voipin,

Are you sure about not having to enter mac address on MBG server? It says "This field is required" when not entering mac address.

Have a look at the attached file.

Also, if MBG is acting as a SIP proxy, How do they control you don't register more SIP devices than licenses purchased?
 
A license will be consumed when the X-Lite connects to the MBG via the SIP connector. Trust me on this, I've deployed scores of them without a hitch.

voipin,

I'd like you to have a look at the screenshot attached, note I am running latest version of MSL.


Also, if you'd like to try registering a SIP device yourself:

88.26.229.238
SIP User 5223
Pass/w 1234
If you manage you can do a test call to 7104

I have forwarded port UDP 5060 to MBG (NAT from WAN 2 LAN). There is full comm. between MBG <-> LAN where PBX is connected.

Note all TW MiNet phones work perfectly, there are available licenses on MBG for SIP devices.

Regards,

Daniel
