Comments

Firmware v5.8.1.13 and higher contain a bug that causes issues with incoming calls on Sonicwall routers and firewalls. We recommend customers set enable ‘Consistent NAT’ (check the box) and disable ‘SIP Transformations’ (uncheck the box). Ensure that the MTU is set correctly for your ISP.


Go to Firewall Settings → BWM
BWM type change this to Global
Realtime checked set to 30% or whatever is needed 100k per call x number of calls
 
Go to Firewall Settings → Flood Protection → UDP Settings
Change the default Timeout Value from 30 to 300 seconds and make sure that UDP Flood Protection is not Enabled (Default Value)
 
Set the bandwidth up for the WAN Interface
Edit the WAN interface Advanced Tab—Upload is on top
Enable Egress and Ingress to your ISP settings, verify with a speed test.
 
VoIP → Settings:
Enable consistent NAT: check.
Enable SIP Transformations: Uncheck
