Remote Phones
For Premise Based IP1100/IP1150/IP1200/IP2000/IP5000:
- Configure the PBX Site router with port forwards of 5060 UDP and 10k-20k TCP/UDP. The port forwards should point at the LAN address of the PBX
- Navigate to PBX Setup=>SIP and enter the Public IP address of the PBX under External IP, Save
- Navigate to System=>Access Control=>Access Control List
- Configure so that the IP address for the remote phone can communicate to the PBX in one of two ways:
- Add the Public IP address of the remote location if its static (eg. 75.124.65.8/32)
- Delete the SIP service from the Access Control List if the remote phone will not have a static IP. If you use this method, we advise to enable Log Watch & Ban after you have verified the remote phone works.
- Navigate to the PBX Settings for the Extension
- Click the blue Advanced link
- Change the Location from LAN to WAN, Save and Apply Changes
- Navigate to PBX Setup=>Phone Global (Needed for HTTP download of files from remote)
- Ensure that Phone Download Enabled and Phone Auth Enabled are set to Yes (Needed for HTTP download of files from remote)

- Under Configuration Updates change from TFTP to HTTP (Needed for HTTP download of files from remote) NOTE:The port set must be forwarded to the PBX, typically 8080 or 80.
