Others

  1. Please try to enable the keep-alive option under SIP settings > Basic settings > Enable OPTIONS Keep Alive under the profile and set the “OPTIONS Keep Alive Interval” to a lower value. This is the interval at which the phone will send Kepp alive packets to the server to check it (in seconds). 
  2. Please make sure to enable Keep-Alive under the extension settings on the SIP Server as well. 
  3. Please try lowering the register expiration parameter under SIP settings > Basic settings >  Register Expiration. Set it for example to 10 or 5 minutes. This is when the phone refreshes registration periodically with a specified SIP server (in minutes). 
  4. Try configuring the NAT traversal as Keep-Alive first and if that does not work, try STUN.  When using STUN under Maintenance > Network Settings > STUN Settings, you can use “STUN.ipvideotalk.com” as a STUN server.
