Technical problems


Q. Why do I have one way audio in my calls ?
.
If you can hear but the other party can't hear you, or vice versa, this is usually related to your broadband router configuration. Sometimes you have to open the SIP ports in the router and forward to your device.
Divafone uses the standard UDP ports : 5060 for SIP signaling and the range from 16384 to 16482 for audio (Linksys ATA Hardware). Refer to your broadband router manual to set it up. top

Q. I can't hear correctly, the voice sound crippled !. Be sure there is not another computer, program or device using your bandwidth. Programs like Bit torrent, emule or any other P2P software are known for doing it while keeping nearly hidden in the task bar.
The bandwidth is a shared resource among all the computers in the connection. top

Q. Every number I dial, I get a busy signal. You must dial 00 then country code, area code and number.
For example for calls to United Kingdom: 00 44 12345678 top

1. Pick up phone connected to “Phone 1” port of the PAP2, dial **** . You will hear “Linksys configuration menu.”
2. Press the keys 110# on your analog phone. The system will then read back the IP address of your PAP2.
Please write this down.
