Noise = ? on VoIP Router

Hello
ya know, i've been watching calls on my frame now for some time.. Now, I notice how the noise output jumps around alot.. if I do a sho call active voice brief, what does that noise=? mean??
If the noise is -64 or positive 64, I don't know what the heck it means and it's driving me nuts. Can I tell the quality of a current conversation, judging on what the noise is??
thanks for any help!

I think this value is not to be worried of. This reflects the noise level fora specific call, I guess.

Use WRP400 (VoIP Router) for Voice only, and the rest with WRT54GL

Hey there, I hope you are doing great!
The reason of this thread is because I recently moved to a cable ISP and unfortunately had to also change routers in order to take advantage of the VoIP feature (analog phone) they provided me with.
Now, the new router, the WRP400, is very limited feature-wise compared to the custom flashed WRT54GL I used to use with my DSL provider.
Now the WRT54GL does not have any FXS ports, so I obviously can't just plug my cable modem to the WRT54GL. Therefore, I was hoping to achieve a setup similar to this one:
Cable modem => VoIP Router w/ voice only (WRP400) => "Main" router (WRT54GL w/ Tomato)
Is there a way to bridge the WRP400 successfully with the WRT54GL keeping only the voice feature enabled on the VoIP router while the WRT54GL takes care of the rest? (Wireless, WAN, port forwarding, etc)
Thank you very much for your help, and have an awesome day!
Lev

I am going to provide a few snapshots of the config pages as to make this easier:

Advanced Settings
Administration Page
Once more, thank you very much for the assistance!

Linksys E3000 cascaded, VoiP router not working

I have a Linksys E3000 router, with a Linksys SPA2012 VoIP router connected to it. I can't get the voice to work. The configuration is:
cable modem => cisco870 => Linksys E3000 => Linksys SPA2102
(the Linksys E3000 is connected to cisco871 via Internet port)
Everything works fine (ethernet, wireless) for all devices connected to cisco871 and E3000, EXCEPT for the VoIP phone. Is there a special configuration I need on the SPA2101 to get this to work?
Thanks in advance!

Help! - VOIP router keeps dropping connection

First let me say that I really have tried all the obvious - cables, power cords, outlets, etc. I've replaced the VOIP router and the cable modem also. But I lose the connection several times per day and have to power cycle to get it back. Started happening within weeks of first switching to VOIP service and installing the (first) VOIP router. To rule out our alarm system, interference, cables, etc. I've even disconnected EVERYTHING downstream so that it's just cable modem --> VOIP router --> nothing. The third light on the router STILL goes out several times a day. It just can't seem to maintain its connection. If I do have either phone or internet connected to the box I lose both of them when that third light goes out. But if I bypass the VOIP router I never lose connection. My internet speeds are 4-5Mbps download, ~1Mbps upload, signal strengths and SNR are very good. I even tried a signal amplifier just to check, and lost the connection within 2 hours of installing that. All the tests on www.myvoipspeed.com turn out fine except for speed CONSISTENCY, but while that might affect voice quality, I can't see how that would affect the maintenance of a connection.
The cable modem is in a garage area. Never below 40F. Have had the VOIP router nearby (3ft cat5 cable from the modem) and also indoors (after a 75ft cat5 cable run), with no difference.
I've tried looking at all the configuration parameters for both modem and router but see nothing obvious that might help or any setting for "timeout" or "keep alive". Have thought about MAC cloning but the problem exists even with no computer downstream.
As you might expect, my cable company says their signal parameters check out fine, my phone company (who sold me the Cisco SPA 2012 router) says either that it's the cable company or "my wiring" (after having told them about a half dozen times that I lose the connection with nothing downstream). Neither seems to have much expertise in the way of diagnostics or troubleshooting. At this point I tend to think I just had bad luck and got a two 'bad' routers in a row, but I'm not about to throw more money after this just to find that wasn't the case.
What else can I try to figure this out and/or fix it??? Someone here must be smarter than the people from the cable and phone companies I've been talking to!

Hi hczerski,
Welcome and thanks for posting!
Sorry for the problems you're having with your broadband. Do you notice the light on the Hub change colour when you're having this problem?
From what you have posted it does look like a wireless issue more than anything else. Have you tried changing the wireless channel on the Hub? Here is the link to show you how - How do I change the wireless channel on my BT Home Hub?
Post back when you've had a chance to try this to let me know how you got on.
All the best,
Robbie

Voip router

I want to have an ipsec through internet through which to pass simple data and voip traffic. Does anybody give me an idea? Is one analog phone or one voice call. Expect is any requirement for the pbx if I connect it to an fxo in the router. Where other side of ipsec tunnel is a pbx connected to the inside ethernet link in the router.
thnx &
best regards
tani

Ok first of all thank you.
Now let me explain. I need a solution about the VoIP network thruogh Internet. So the sites will be connected to the internet. The VoIP routers will have internet access and will be connected to the central site through the IPSec tunnel. So the VoIP routers will transmit voip packet, expect data packet . The central site will have a VoIP or a connection to the PSTN line or a PABX.
I need voip routers the number of calls are 2 or 1 for the remote site router that will be connected to the Internet, so if you could help me about the dedicated bandwidth for voip. The remote sites will have pbx so that is better to have fxo connected to the pbx not ip phones, so the pbx will forward the call based on number dialed to the voip router which will forward the call to remote site (other voip router) or to the central site where is PSTN or pbx where is connected through an interface of a router to the Ethernet link or E1 interface whhich is installed in the router.
The central site will have internet access, so I think that the link will connect to the remote sites with VoIP routers through IPSec tunnel if this is possible. Expect that I dont know if I need any software special on the router like cme or cisco unified manager express or a dedicated server for call manager.

Time zone doesn't work on WRP400 VoIP router firmware 2.00.32

I purchased a WRP400 wi-fi router (two SIP VoIP ATA ports) and loaded the latest firmware (2.00.32). This code is bugware. Not only do the configuration screens not work properly in FIrefox (it keeps giving "your connection has been reset by the peer server") but the time zone is Pacific Daylight (GMT-8, DST+1, California) even after I set the proper values (Eastern, GMT-5, DST+1) for my region and restart the router.
I've tried switching to a different manually-specified NTP server, I've tried other time zone selections but consistently I get anything except Montréal/Toronto/New York time or the time zone I'd asked for. Even Newfoundland time gives (gag me with a spoon!) California.
Unfortunately, this is a voice-over-IP box so this wrong time information is fed to every telephone in my office as part of the Caller ID data every time a call comes in. I see no means to turn NTP off and specify a date and time manually.
Short of putting up a "fake" (three hours ahead) NTP server somewhere on the local network and forcing this box to synchronise to that, is there any way to get the WRP400 to send the correct time to the telephone handsets if I'm not in California but three time zones further east?

Setup → Basic Setup → Time Setting
http://192.168.15.1/index.asp (at the bottom of the 'Basic' tab's page)
Voice → Regional → Miscellaneous
http://192.168.15.1/admin/voice/ (at the bottom of the 'Regional' tab's page)
If I set them both to local time the system is displaying GMT (so four hours ahead, as local time is EDT).
If I leave the voice settings at Cisco's California defaults and change just the "Basic Setup - Time Setting" to any local time zone in my region the system displays California time.
So far, the only time I've seen correct and local data displayed is by setting:
Setup → Basic Setup → Time Setting to "GMT - Liberia - no DST"
Voice → Regional → Miscellaneous to my local time zone (GMT-5 - Eastern - Toronto/Montréal)
Setting both configuration values (router basic setup and voice regional) to a valid, local time zone outside California seems to be applying two offsets to the call display timestamp in some invalid manner. This is a bug.
Time to pack up this equipment and ship it to Liberia?

Call info from VOIP Router for billing purposes

Hi Pros,
My client has a VOIP network where all routers have FXS Cards & Dial Peers configured
--- No CallManager ---
They want to bill calls using router outputs.
Now, I thought of collecting debugging data on syslog servers. Can anybody help identify a debug command which can generate call setup (calling party & called party) & time info?
Pratik

Hi,
Check out this link.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk1077/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094e72.shtml
You can use syslog. You would need some clever parsing to generate the billing etc i think though.
Cheers,
Tim.

Using VOIP router with Airport Extreme

Hi,
I'm sorry if this question has been asked before...I couldn't find it if it has!
I currently have a Draytel 2800VG router for my internet connection, and connect my family Windows desktop and my MBP through it no problem. I use this router because it has telephone ports for VOIP (the SIP settings are in the router).
I would like to buy an Airport Extreme so I get the benefit of the faster wireless speeds on my MBP. I will obviously then connect my desktop to the AE by cable.
Can someone tell me if there is any way I can connect my Draytel router to the AE so I can still run my phone through for VOIP?
Thanks
Nige

I assume the airport extreme setup allows me to specify that it's a 'bridge'?
Yes, you can set it as a bridge by using the AirPort Utility: (AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode))
When you say 'separate n wireless network', do you mean give it a different SSID, or band, to the Draytek...or something else.
Yes, both the Draytek and the AirPort should be configured to use different SSIDs and (of course) different radio modes.

VoIP router + Time Capsule

Hi All,
I'm considering to buy a Time Capsule in the next couple of days but before doing so I'd like to know if it's compatible to my current setup.
I currently have:
- VoIP+ADSL2 wired router (say 192.168.0.1)
- Airport Express (currently used as 802.11g access point) (say 192.168.0.2)
All Macs and PCs on the WLAN don't use DHCP and they all have 192.168.0.1 setup as default DNS Therefore all port forwarding is setup on 192.168.0.1.
My idea was to connect my Time Capsule as 192.168.0.2, change Airport Express IP to 192.168.0.x and use it just with my AirTunes.
I was wondering will this setup anyhow affect 802.11n bandwidth? Will my WLAN be able to operate with certain IPs as 802.11g (like my PC or PS3) and with some others 802.11n flawlessly (like my MacBook)?

Your description really sounds more complicated than necessary. Here's my setup..
Cable modem <-> Time Capsule router as a DHCP device <-> and an iMac, MBP, MBP, and Vonage VOIP adapter as peers over a gigabit Ethernet and a 802.11n/g wireless network.
Alternatively, you can run your TC wireless network simultaneous with another AE wireless network. Just select the AE from any one of yours computers when you want to play iTunes.
Note: I use Vonage VOIP within my environment. iChat and Vonage VOIP are both SIP aware therefore you should keep both devices as peers to one another.

Help cascading linksys voip router to linksys voip router

Hello, I'm trying to connect a Linksys RT31P2 to my existing Linksys WRTP54G to be able to be able to use the VOIP phone connections on both units.
I have set the ip address of the first router WRTP54G to 192.168.15.2 which is connected to the cable modem. The second router is set to 192.168.15.1.
I have connected the routers ethernet to ethernet. The second router appears to work as a switch, I have connected a printer and can see it, but the phone port
doesn't work. Then I plugged the ethernet cable from the first modem into the WAN port of the second router. When I plug the phone in, it connects to vonage and I get a message that my phone is plugged into the wrong port. When I did the original configuration, LAN to LAN, I followed the instructions on this site, but when it told me too change the Advance Routing from "Advance routing" to "Router", my screen did not show me that option.
I'm not sure which way they should be hooked up or configured to make this work , can anybody help? I've spent a couple days searching forums and the web and can't find anything about making the VOIP work on both routers.
Thanks

Okay, I got it. First off, you need to order the additional line you'd like to connect. As my wife pointed out at lunch, you need something to connect to. The rest wasn't too hard, set the routers to two different addresses, disable DHCP on the second router, then connect one of the ethernet ports to the WAN / internet port of the second router. Works fine. Couldn't get the phone lines to work using the LAN to LAN set up.

Loss of nternet connection with VOIP router

I have a desktop Dell that's connected to the VOIP wireless router and anytime my computer is idle for an extended period of time (i.e. 2-5 hours) I lose my internet connection and have to restart my computer in order to regain connectivity. Is there a way to configure the router such that this does not happen?

I would be helpful if you specify the model number of the router.

Firmware for wrp 400 voip router

the wps of this router cannot be disabled even though there is an option in the software to disable this. I read somewhere in the forum that cisco is coming out with a firmware to disable the wps. Please advise when this is coming in.
I disabled the wps in the software and enabled the manual configure. But with my new laptop which has wps, keeps asking for password for the router. I have already created a ssid and wpa personal tkip in my router but the laptop requires the WPS password of the cisco wrp400 router.
any help is appreciated.

Best if you get in touch with the Cisco SBSC and rasie a ticket. if a Beta Firmware is available then they can let you have it if it exists and resolves an issue for you.

Setup Order for DSL + VOIP + Wireless Router combinations.

I have a DSL Modem, a SPA 3102 VoIP Adapter and a WRT600N wireless router.
What is the best order to connect them and which box should do what job?
Modem - VoIP - Router or Modem - Router - VoIP?
Each one can connect PPPoE, can perform as a router and can act as a DHCP server. The combinations are great and the implications will impact usage.
Should the Modem be a bridge or perform the PPoE login? What about being the router and/or DHCP server?
If the modem is a bridge, should I plug in the VoIP and have it perform the PPPoE login? Act as a Router? Be a DHCP Server?
Plug in the router first and plug the VoIP into one of the WRT600N ports? Have the WRT600N login PPPoE? Act as a router? Be a DHCP server?
If I have the Modem-VoIP then router setup, I need only provide battery backup to the modem & VoIP during a power failure to have a phone.
Any ideas on what is the best setup and how to configure each box?

I tried that but wasn't able to get access after. I tried modem in bridged mode, SPA3102 connecting PPPoE and NAT enabled.
This is where it falls apart. If I enable DHCP on the SPA3102 and disable it on the WRT600N I can't connect to the internet.
If I disable DHCP on the SPA3102 and set a static address for the WRT600N with DHCP enabled I still can't get out.
Any ideas?

Router won't stay connected for more than 45 minutes

I have a BEFW11S4 v. 4 (firmware 1.52.02) wireless router that I've been using for years. Recently (i.e., within the past week), it has been dropping its internet connection about every 45 minutes. The network set-up is: an XP desktop connecting via an access point (Linksys WUSB11 v. 2) and a Vista laptop connecting via its internal wireless card. I also have a Vonage-supplied Linksys router running VoIP (RT31P2) that's connected to the wireless router. The cable modem is a Scientific Atlanta DPC2100 series.
The routers/modem are on a bookshelf in the middle of a wall all by themselves. There is a DECT 6.0 cordless phone across the room (as far away as possible from the router).
When the router is connected, everything works with no problems whatsoever. Then, after about 45 minutes, the connection drops from everything. After unplugging the wireless router for about 30 seconds then plugging it back in, it's good to go for another 45 minutes. I've tried changing the wireless channel with no luck. I've also cycled the entire system (*several* times. ugh!) The SSID is not "linksys." My internet provider did recently change to Comcast, but the problems I've been having don't align with the change in providers.
Some quirks that I've noticed is that the Vista laptop can see the network, but can't connect, saying it received no response from the router when I run the "Diagnose the problem" function. The XP machine responds in a similar manner; it has my network on the list, but just hangs when it tries to connect. Also, sometimes the VoIP router is affected (i.e., the phone line disconnects), but other times it's not.
I'm extremely frustrated at this point, and ready to chuck everything out the window. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this type of problem?

Well if you are able to go online directly with the modem...connect modem>>>>route>>>>pc....if its a cable modem then reset the router for 30 secs in such a way that power light is blinking on the router.Now, power cycle the complete power cycle...ie., unplug the power cable from the modem & from the router...now plug in the power cable to the modem once all the lights are solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router....& you would be online

HELP ME Please ! No Blue Lights on both of my WRTU54G-TM Routers behind a WRT54GX2 Router

I've had this configuration installed and working for the past two months as such:
Motorola Cable Modem - COX Cable ISP - 15Mbps down / 5Mbps up ; actual rated is higher on speedtest.net
Linksys Router - WRT54GX2 (I'll refer to this as main Router)
Linksys T-Mobile Router - WRTU54G-TM - with 2 SIM cards (this is VOIP router 2 for two lines)
Linksys T-Mobile Router - WRTU54G-TM - with 1 SIM card (this is VOIP router 1 for one line)
Network Topology:
Main Router:     192.168.2.1    router mode ; DHCP ON; Wireless ON - SSID: alpha
VOIP Router 2:  192.168.2.2   bridged mode; DHCP off; Wireless ON - SSID: beta
VOIP Router 1: 192.168.2.3   bridged mode; DHCP off: Wireless off
Both VOIP Routers connected from Internet Port on Router to LAN port on a 10/100 switch
All of this was working fine for the past two months, it even survived some Southern California power outages and came back with flying colors; UNTIL YESTERDAY...... VOIP Router 1 blue light ceased in the morning - Troubleshot it myself and then with tmobile/Linksys and verdict was a defective modem. VOIP Router 2 was still going strong UNTIL I decided to power cycle it to see if that would help with VOIP Router 1; well the blue lights never came back on; To make a long story short - after pulling my hair out and talking to tmobile/Linksys again; I was able to get the blue lights to come on both VOIP Router 1 and VOIP Router 2 if I connected one of them directly to the cable modem and the other VOIP Router  2 directly to VOIP Router 1.  I also did a hard reset on both VOIP routers back to factory defaults (did this before as well). Now, I can't even have a switch between VOIP ROUTER 1 and 2 and get a blue light on the second one. What in the world could be causing this, does anyone have a clue?
Now you may ask why do I need it setup like I had it originally, Cable Modem is downstairs ; Main Router downstairs was in place to isolate the Network from the VOIP Routers in case I needed to reboot the VOIP routers - which I had to do a few times in those two months. So I still had Internet access in the house when I rebooted the VOIP routers. I also wanted my phones upstairs, not downstairs and that is where the VOIP routers were situated.
I've searched thru this forum and googled elsewhere, but haven't found any solutions that work.
So can anybody help ????? TIA

OK, Here's an UPDATE, I believe that I have found a firmware bug in the WRTU54G-TM v1.00.21 code.
In order to get the blue lights on two WRTU54G-TM Routers, VPN - IPSEC passthru must be enabled on the 1st Router, or else the blue lights will not come on the 2nd Router.
fyi... I have 3 sim cards in the 2 Routers for 3 phone lines, 1 Sim card slot is empty.
I reset both WRTU54G-TM Routers to factory default and plugged one directly in to the cable modem and the second WRTU54G-TM into the first. I rebooted the cable modem and routers in order and in a few minutes, I had 3 blue lights for voice on the routers (YES!). Ok, so now I tried reconfiguring the Routers the way I want them. I only need wireless on one of them, not both, so I turn off the wireless on the first router, I also disable all 3 VPN passthrough options on both routers and disable the firewall on the 2nd router. Now I lose the blue lights on the 2nd Router. Well after some troubleshooting, I have found that the IPSEC VPN passthru option MUST be enabled on the 1st Router to get the blue lights on the 2nd Router. I have reproduced this very easily by disabling the IPSEC on the first Router and the blue lights will go off on the 2nd Router - I have to re-enable the IPSEC on the 1st router and reboot the 2nd Router for the blue lights to come back on the 2nd Router.
Thanks, Tom
