Nortel Networks NAT

Nortel Networks provides a proprietary solution to support connectivity to their proxies from phones placed behind devices (such as routers or firewalls) that use NAT. Nortel uses the SIP ping request/reply between the Nortel proxy and the phone in order to keep the connection through the router or firewall active. A SIP Nortel NAT timer is the interval, in seconds (default is 60), that the phone sends SIP ping requests to the Nortel proxy.

Configuring Nortel NAT (optional)

You can configure Nortel NAT using the configuration files, the IP phone UI, or the Aastra Web UI.

Configuration Files

For specific parameters you can set in the configuration files, see Appendix A, the section, “Network Address Translation (NAT) Settings” on page A-21.
