    Hello swelton ,

     

    I understand that you would like to connect to an external server for your SIP phone service. This can be achieved by utilizing the port forwarding feature on the RBR50.

     

    Please follow the following steps to set up port forwarding for your IP phone:

    From the Orbi home admin page:

    First, Select ADVANCED.

    Then, Select "Advanced Setup".

    Next, Select "Port Forwarding / Port Triggering".

    Now, Select the Port Forwarding radio button.

    Now, Use the drop-down under " Service Name" and select "IP_phone".

    Finally, add the server IP Address. 

     

    Cheers!

    Kevin
