Configure port forwarding & NAT

To ensure that Microsoft Teams can communicate with Yeastar P-Series Software Edition, you need to forward relevant ports on your router and configure NAT on your PBX.

  1. Configure port forwarding on the router that is connected to your PBX.
    1. Log in to PBX web portal, go to PBX Settings > SIP Settings > General > Basic, check the SIP UDP port and RTP ports.

    2. Log in to your router, forward the SIP UDP port and RTP ports.

      In this scenario, configure the port forwarding as follows:

      Port Internal port External port
      SIP 5060 UDP 5566 UDP
      RTP 10000-12000 UDP 10000-12000 UDP
  2. Configure NAT on your PBX.
    1. On PBX web portal, go to System > Network > Public IP and Ports.
    2. In the Public IP (NAT) section, complete the following configurations:
      • Public IP (NAT): Turn on this option.
      • NAT Type: Select Public IP Address.
      • Public IP Address: Enter 110.80.36.162.
      • Local Network Identification: Add all your local network. In this scenario, add 192.168.6.0/255.255.255.0.

        This setting will allow all your local devices to communicate with the PBX by the local IP address instead of passing through the router.

      • NAT Mode: Select a SIP NAT mode. In this scenario, select Yes.

        The PBX will use NAT and ignore the address information in the SIP/SDP headers and reply to the sender's IP address and port.

    3. In the Public Ports section, enter the external port that you have forwarded on your router.
      • External SIP UDP Port: Enter 5566.
    4. Click Save and Apply.

Configure Yeastar FQDN

Follow the instructions below to configure Yeastar FQDN in the PBX for remote SIP access.

  1. Log in to PBX web portal, go to System > Network > Yeastar FQDN.
  2. Turn on Yeastar FQDN.
  3. In the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) field, select a domain name, then enter a hostname.
    In this scenario, select domain name test.smartpbx.cn and enter hostname yeastardocs, you will get an FQDN yeastardocs.test.smartpbx.cn.
    Note: Think twice before you enter the hostname. The FQDN can NOT be changed after you save the configurations.

  4. Enable remote SIP access feature and grant usage permissions.
    Note: By default, all extension accounts are restricted from using the remote SIP access feature, therefore you need to grant permission for the extension.
    1. In the Features section, go to the SIP Access tab.
    2. In the Status drop-down list, select Enabled.
    3. In the Access Type drop-down list, select Allowed Account.
    4. Select the desired extension from the Available box to the Selected box.

    5. Optional: Select the checkbox of Enable IP Restriction, and add at least one permitted IP address and subnet mask.

      If you configure this option, only the permitted IP address(es) can use the remote access feature.

  5. Click Save.
