The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Trying to get NAT working on a Polycom 330 phone using the 3cx phone software.

Asked by colonialiu20 in Voice Over IP, Telecommunications, IP Telephony

Tags: VOIP, NAT, Polycom 330, 3cx

Here is the scenario. We have a 3cx server which is at our main office behind NAT. We are looking to deploy VOIP phones in district classroom sites which will be behind other school district NATs. We have purchased a Polycom Ip 330 phone and have it set up and working perfectly on our internal system with the 3cx server.

When we place one of these in an external classroom site I am able to call out from the phone and connect and talk no problem. When I have someone call the phones extension on the 3cx system it rings the phoen at teh external classroom site but it will not allow me to pick up the call and answer it. I am assuming this is because of the NAT translation at the external classrooms.

Trying to research this I see we can use a stun server to help NAT translation, but the issue is Polycom of course doesn't support STUN. I'm glad they made this easy!!!! So contacting Polycom's support they just directed me to the manual which has a few things regarding NAT and not much help at all.

What suggestion could be made for my scenario? Since the SIP connection works but the RTP voice connection seems to have issues when traveling through a NAT and then having to travel through another Nat to hit the phone server. Has anyone ecountered this scenario using Polycom VOIP phones? Would it be better to purchase a SNOM phone that lets us use STUN server settings to help translate both NATS? Any suggestions or help would be appreciated because Polycom wasn't much help at all.
