<div dir="ltr">I probably should have also said we frequently see situations where Softphones work and handsets don't. I've not looked into it overly; but my theory has been that softphones are generally much more NAT aware, so most clients work hard to find the correct IP to put into the INVITE messages and will often seamlessly use things like STUN (urgh!) to make things work without you trying - thus making troubleshooting these things a bit painful.<div><br></div><div>Thanks,<br>Andrew</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 16 April 2015 at 20:53, Andrew Yager <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andrew@rwts.com.au" target="_blank">andrew@rwts.com.au</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi Cameron,<div><br></div><div>There can be a few causes I've seen of this, particularly with SNOM handsets.</div><div><br></div><div>Depending on if you are using LLDP/Voice VLAN in some SNOM firmware versions (certainly prevalent in the version 7 and 8) I had a number of issues where the LLDP initiated VLAN wasn't properly assigned to the phone *randomly*, and we had to modify the configuration to statically set the VLAN.

</span>The ethernet is in the correct port for the reasons you give, but also<br>
because the phones can initiate calls. The problem is that the call<br>
consists of silence in both directions, which might be explained by the<br>
handset at one end not being attached at all or being attached<br>
incorrectly.<br>
<br>
By handset the bit you hold in your hand when talking on the phone. The<br>
handset is usually connected to the station via a few feet of coiled<br>
cable plugged into an RJ11 socket. Since these are brand new phones I'm<br>
suggesting that a mistake may have been made when unboxing them, and the<br>
RJ11 plug might have been plugged into the ethernet passthru socket, or<br>
not properly inserted into the handset socket on the station. Or not<br>
properly inserted into the socket on the handset itself.<br>
<br>
It's a long shot, but stranger things have happened, and I have actually<br>
seen a phone with the handset incorrectly plugged into the passthru.<br>
