Sorry if this is a dumb question, but it’s something I’ve always struggled with that I’m convinced should be quite straightforward. Getting one FS to register with another as an extension (I know there are other ways of getting FS to talk together, but this is the situation I’m faced with). Box one (the host) is not behind NAT. Box two (the client) IS behind NAT. In my mind it should be good enough to have a directory entry on box one, and a SIP profile on box two, then something like a catchall dial plan entry on box 2 to accept the calls made to the ‘extension’ it’s registered as and handle the call accordingly. But I don’t think it’s that simple? I’ve looked through the soft phone configuration, which suggests using a directory entry with the register flag set to true, but this doesn’t seem to help me. Thanks R
Apologies if you’ve seen this before, but not sure if anyone got it due to the mail issues and I’m still scratching my hairless head ;) ...

Its no different than setting up a gateway to an ITSP, you'll setup a user in the directory on FS-A, then have FS-B register to it. You could also skip that completely and do an ACL list to authenticate the two systems against each other. /b On Thu, Jun 1, 2017 at 7:20 AM, Rick Jarvis <rick@magicmail.mooo.com> wrote:
