love it to bits, it’s been a specific solution. I’m now

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I currently have around 150 Sip phones attached to my
systems These are all geographically spread, so re-configuring them
is out of the question. They all register on port 5060. Given that
FS uses port 5080 for external clients, do I simply need to do a Port translate
on my firewall or is there a simpler solution?</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p></div></div></blockquote><div>FreeSWITCH doesn't *force* you to use port 5080 for inbound registrations. You can, but it's not a requirement. Personally I just use the internal SIP profile for those external phones wherever possible. The real issue is whether or not you have a horrible NAT device in between FS and the Internet connection. In my experience, if you have a decent NAT device that supports UPnP (like the WRT54GL running Tomato firmware) then connecting external phones to a FS box behind NAT using port 5060 just works. Give it a try and let us know how it works. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Further, how does FS handle a call FWD? In other
words, if a SIP phone has a divert on busy set will it account for the
redirect? Currently in Asterisk I use the ‘I’ option to
disable this as I can’t account for the call.</span></font></p></div></div></blockquote><div>When calling to a FS box or when FS calls another server?<br>-MC<br></div></div><br>
