Conection problem


Cannot connect

The most common source of connection problems is when the firewall/router is blocking ports needed to communicate.

Please ensure the following ports are not blocked on the firewall:
  • Port 5060 for TCP/IP and UDP
  • Port 5070 for TCP/IP and UDP.
Listen RTP Port:
  • Port 10500 for TCP/IP and UDP.
Please also try values from range: 1025-65000 or ask your network administrator what port you should use.


Port 5060 is being used by another device:

Go to Preferences/My Sip Account.
Set the Local Sip Port to zero or set a specific value allowed on your firewall/router.

Setting the port to zero will force iSoftPhone to look for an available port.


iSoftPhone still does not connect:

Error SIP/2.0 401 Unauthorized.

Check if you provider uses a Proxy server.
Go to Preferences/My Sip Account.
Set the proxy server in Sip Proxy.
