WiFi RRC config through phone 3G Access Point

[SV1DH]

On a previous post by SM2O I read "often the Mobile service provider has blocked the ports used for SIP and VoIP. If you use the standaRd ports try to change 5060 to something else. They do it beacuse they want to stop people using other services than their own for phone calls".
Since I'd like to use such config for the control RRC, I wonder:
- What alternative working port to 5060 can be suggested ?
- Are the GSM providers generally open to provide such info?
- How many succed to have such control RRC config working?

Hi

We set port 13000,13001,13002 today as default ports and I have not heard about any problem to use them

Hi Mike
I'd like to ask futher concerning the use of my WiFi 1258N-2 adapter (RRC 1258B-3 and FW updated to 2.75):
- to which function (sip, audio, control) is each of the new designated 13000, 13001, 13002 ports assigned?
- on the WiFi settings, the password window is indicated as PSK only. How can I change it to WEP 64 or WPA2?
- how can I find the MAC address of the WiFi adapter, since I need it for my MAC locked Access Point?

Hi

SIP 13000, audio 13001,cmd 13002 is default today. You do not need to know what type of security which is in use. When scanning the WiFi card adapt to the system indictated by the Accesspoint. You just need to enter the password. After the WiFi connection is established you can see the MAC adress on the statuspage. In most accesspoints and routers you can also see MAC addresses of connected clients

Hi again Mike
One more question, pse:
If the WiFi adapter is connected to the access point or smartphone (as indicated by them) but the green PWR LED on RRC is still blinking (and no connection with radio unit is possible), what could be the problem ??
Do I need to open all the CMD, SIP, AUDIO ports on access point BEFORE trying to connect the WiFi adapter?
For this purpose and for the use of smartphones are the ports changed to new ones 13000-13002 ?
Tnx

To get a steady PWR LED no settings should be needed in the router, Just enable DHCP in the RRC.

If you don't get a steady PWR LED it's no idea to try to connect.

When you get steady PWR LED

If you have the router at the control end, you do not need to open any port. Check if there is a parameter called SIP ALG, it must  be Disabled. I guess you have changed the ports to 13000 as 5060 is often blocked by the Mobile operator.

Hi Mike
Tnx again for your answer, very helpful indeed and now the Control RRC WiFi connection with the ADSL APs is OK.
My still remaining problem is with my LUMIA WINPHONE, where the Control RRC WiFi is connected as guest and IP is received OK, but the PWR LED on RRC does NOT stop blinking. BTW, I have already changed SIP, CMD and AUDIO ports to 13000 series.
I check my 3G net (COSMOTE GR) with MICROSOFT TestMyNet tool and found that at least the following ports are open for direct access: 21/FTP, 22/SSH, 25/SMTP, 53 /DNS, 110/POP3, 139/NETBIOS, 143/IMAP, 161/SNMP, 445/SMB, 465/SMTP SSL, 585/SECURE IMAP, 587/AUTH SMTP, 993/IMAP SSL, 995/POP SSL, 5060/SIP, 6881/BIT TORRENT, 5223/IOS,
5228/ ANDROID, 8080 HTTP PROXY. The only currently blocked port for direct access is the: 135/RPC.
Also no any difference activating or not the RRCs DHCP. 
Can you advice any further, pse??

Hi Costas,
There must be some misunderstanding here! There are never any problems with Nokia Lumia WinPhone!  No, just kidding a bit, hehe! Do you mean that you use Internet sharing on your Lumia to get the Control RRC connected to the Internet? If so then I can check that tomorrow as I have a Lumia 920

Yes do so, with a real smartphone = Iphone no settings needed in either the phone or the RRC

What a strange sense of humor you have  It is not possible to mention iPhone and smart phone in the same sentence

GE Jan and Mike.
Ah, that would be very kind from you...
Yes, I'm using INET sharing of my LUMIA 800 Win 7.8, trying to connect RRC control unit via WiFi to INET.
My GSM provider is providing Cellular HSPA, max 3G for my phone.
BTW, if the used by me 13000-13002 ports are blocked by the provider then the PWR LED on RRC will blink continously, in spite RRC is connected with phone??

I just tested to use my Lumia 920 and its INET sharing and it worked ok. If the PWR led keeps blinking then it seems the RRC is not fully connected to the Internet. Since I do not have neither the same Lumia model, nor the same GSM provider it isn't easy to tell what is the cause.

GA Jan
Tnx indeed for testing LUMIA 920 and the results noted here.
Please let me know if the particular RRC tested was using the new default ports 13000, 13001,13002.
I will try, using special s/w, to check which directly open ports my GSM provider have and then I will maybe ask for your further advice for optimaly using some of these open ports.

Costas
