Hi Folks,

We have a Obi 110, and on occasion we keep on receiving calls from either 100, 1000, and 1001. A reset of the Obi sometimes fixes it, and sometimes not. Is this a problem with the Obi? Can these numbers be blocked? They are displayed on the phones called ID.

When I log into my VoIP providers management portal, the calls are not seen. Leads me to believe the issue is with the Obi.

SIP Scanners. See http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=5467.0

Thanks Shale, I'll take a look in that thread. What is the purpose of a SIP scanner? As fat as security goes does it matter that my obi on on the DMZ?

Cheers,

from note d in the other thread: The motivation for the SIP scanners appears to mostly be probing for PBX servers to allow expensive international and premium calls for profit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premium-rate_telephone_number

Not being in the DMZ would not have prevented this unless your router is what is called a "full cone". Most aren't.

Thanks Shale.

This is what I've done, may also be useful for other who stumble on the same problem.

Changed X_InboundCallRoute to:
{(x|xx|xxx|xxxx|xxxxx|xxxxxx):},{ph}
Effectively blocking all numbers which are x or xx or xxx ... characters long.

Changed X_UserAgentPort to something other than 5060
Appears the SIP scanners try to hit the 5060 port as it's the default.

Hope this fixes my issue moving forward.

Cheers,
