This guide explains how to use AltiGen's VoIP/NAT test tool to assess whether a customer's NAT device is compatible with the MaxCS system's NAT Traversal scheme.  

MaxCS will support IP phones behind NAT with most NAT/Firewall devices. If an IP phone does not work on a 
particular NAT, one of the following issues is likely the cause of the conflict: 
MaxCS will support IP phones behind NAT with most NAT/Firewall devices. If an IP phone does not work on a particular NAT, one of the following issues is likely the cause of the conflict:
  • The NAT device is blocking outbound traffic (in this scenario, check the NAT device settings and firewall settings) 
  • The NAT device is interpreting the SIP REGISTER and other SIP messages as an attack (in this scenario, check the NAT device settings, firewall settings, and security settings) 
  • The NAT device is performing SIP ALG on port 10060 and is causing a conflict with the MaxCS system’s SIP ALG (Currently, only the EdgeMarc implementation SIP ALG is certified and supported) 
  • The NAT device’s UDP session expires within 60 seconds (Check for "consistent NAT" on SonicWall firewalls) 
  • The NAT device has some other issues with users browsing the Internet 

This test tool can be used both before deployment, to check for potential NAT traversal conflicts, and as a troubleshooting tool post-deployment.
