Common Configuration Issues Connecting to the Provisioning Server Resolving Registration Issues Advanced Diagnostics and Preventive StepsWhen experiencing issues with Htek phones, common problems can occur in configuration, connection to the provisioning server, and registration. This guide provides detailed resolutions to address these scenarios.
Common Configuration Issues
Configuration errors can cause phones to malfunction. If initial attempts to configure your Htek phone fail, follow these steps:
- To reset settings, you must clear the phone's existing configuration file. To do so, access the phone's admin controls, locate the configuration file for the affected device, and clear it.
- Reboot the phone to retrieve new configuration settings from the server automatically.
As a security measure, the WebUI is disabled and restricts manual access by default; speak to one of our team members to enable it for further troubleshooting.
Connecting to the Provisioning Server
If your Htek phone cannot connect to the provisioning server, perform these troubleshooting steps:
- Verify the provisioning server URL is correct in the phone's settings.
- Make sure "Upgrade Mode" is set to HTTPS for secure communication.
- Disable "PNP Active" by setting it to "No."
- Confirm the MAC addresses in your portal match your physical devices.
- Assign the correct extensions to the phones.
- Reboot the phones after setting adjustments to apply changes.
If difficulties persist, check your network setup for possible restrictions, such as blocked ports or SIP ALG (Session Initiation Protocol Application Layer Gateway) on your router or firewall.
Resolving Registration Issues
If a phone has an internet connection and authentication credentials but refuses to register, try the following:
- Reboot the phone and any related network equipment (e.g., switches, routers).
- Access the phone’s WebUI to collect a packet capture and analyze it for potential communication blocks between the phone and the registration server.
- Check that the following settings are correct in the WebUI: - Account1.SipUserId - Account1.AuthenticatePassword - Account1.OutboundProxy - Account1.SipServer: Update any incorrect details and save changes.
- Ensure that SIP ALG is turned off in the network equipment settings and that the device is set to use secure protocols such as TLS.
If registration issues occur across multiple networks or devices, it might indicate a configuration or compatibility issue that requires in-depth analysis.
Advanced Diagnostics and Preventive Steps
- Utilize packet capture tools within the phone's WebUI to investigate unresolved issues.
- Regularly ensure all devices have updated firmware to maintain compatibility and security.
- Maintain accurate documentation of network and phone configurations for easier troubleshooting.
