Title: Able to connect via Uverse 2-wire 3801 HGV
Post by: AE7I on 2012-09-04, 01:40:19
Others have noted problems using RemoteRig with U-verse and suggested a hardware solution, however I have found it possible to connect with tweaks to the SIP address and residential gateway firewall.

I use U-verse for  internet, TV and telephone (therefore their VOiP).  I initially had trouble connecting to my remote TS-480 and attributed that to the residential gateway's firewall blocking SIP.  I tried to set up the RemoteRig Control with DMZ Plus, but for unclear reasons the gateway simply gave me an error message.  So,  my solution was to change the address for SIP from 5060 to 5080 on both remote and control units,  and then create three pinholes in the firewall for 5080, 11000 and 12000.  Now it seems to be working fine for me.

SIP Out port   5080
SIP In port   5080
Audio Out port   11000
Audio In port   11000
Command Out port   12000
Command In port   12000
External SIP In port   5080
External Audio In port   11000
External Cmd In port   12000

Port 5060 is the standard VoIP port, and is already used by many routers. That is why
is is recommended that one always change this port first when installing RemoteRig.

This is covered in my networking checklist that I send anyone upon request.

REALLY good advice.

Been testing RRC in many hotels around the globe and found more than 50% block the SIP port. We now use alternate port and having much better success rates.
