Freevoice PBX systems can support remote VoIP phones connected over the public internet.

To connect remote phones to your system the following ports must be opened or forwarded to the Freevoice PBX server.

SIP Phones Require Ports: 5060 and 10,000 through 20,000 UDP

IAX2 Phones Require Port: 4569 UDP

Remote SIP phones also require that the external (public) ip address of the server/router be added to the sip_nat.conf file, follow the instructions below to update this file.
