VigorBX 2000 - Changing SIP Ports
XIII. IPPBX
The Voice over IP protocol SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is typically used on UDP port 5060 to control the initiation and handling of SIP based VoIP calls both internally and received or made through the ITSP (Internet Telephony Service Provider).
The audio of a call is sent in a separate UDP packet stream on a port that is arranged when the session is initiated via SIP, this uses RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol).
The DrayTek VigorBX 2000 PBX system has SIP port configuration options both for SIP handset registration and for individual SIP trunks:
- SIP Registration service, which manages the registration and call handling of SIP Extensions / Phones that are registered with the PBX, uses UDP port 5060 in the default configuration.
- SIP Trunk service ports are separate by default, each SIP Trunk sends outbound SIP packets on UDP port 5060 and listens for SIP packets on UDP port 5070.
Some ITSPs may require that the PBX system listens for SIP Trunk traffic on UDP 5060, which would conflict with the PBX system's SIP Registration port.
To resolve this, either notify the ITSP that their system must send SIP packets to UDP 5070, or if that's not possible, change the PBX system's SIP Registration port and the SIP Trunk listening port.
Please Note that changing the VigorBX 2000's SIP Registration port will require changing the SIP port that each SIP handset is registering with the PBX system on, from the default of UDP 5060 to the new port number.
To set the port that SIP extensions register with, either locally or remotely, go to [IP PBX] > [PBX System] > [SIP Proxy Setting]:
On that page, set the SIP Local Port to the required value:
Click OK to apply this setting and the IP PBX will ask to restart. Click OK to restart the PBX system and when the VigorBX 2000 is back online, it will be using the configured SIP port for extension registrations.
Once this setting has been changed, it will be necessary to change the SIP port that extensions register with.
These are examples of how to set the SIP Registration Port on phones from various manufacturers. Web interfaces and Firmware versions may differ from the screenshots, please contact your SIP handset supplier for further assistance if this information is inaccurate.

Go to the Account settings and configure the SIP Server - Port setting to the required value:
Once the setting change is saved and applied, the handset should be able to register with the PBX system on the new registration port.

Access the handset's web interface in Admin Login mode with "basic" settings selected. Go to the Ext 1 tab and edit the Proxy address, which will normally be the IP address or hostname of the PBX system; change the address to include ":5066" if the SIP port of the PBX system has been changed to 5066:
Click Submit All Changes and the phone will restart to apply the new settings. Once the phone is back online, it should be able to register with the PBX system.

Access the handset's web interface and go to Identity 1 to configure the primary SIP account on the handset. Edit the Registrar address, which will normally be the IP address or hostname of the PBX system; change the address to include ":5066" if the SIP port of the PBX system has been changed to 5066:
Click Save and the handset should be able to register with the PBX system.
{tab-ex VTech VSP735}
Access the handset's web interface and go to System - SIP Account Management - Account 1 to configure the primary SIP account on the handset. Edit the SIP Server - Port and Registration - Port settings to the required SIP port number:
Once the setting is applied, the handset should be able to register with the PBX system.
The SIP Trunk port settings are configured per SIP trunk and each SIP trunk has a listening port which is referred to as the SIP Local Port and the outbound SIP port is specified using the Proxy Port setting.
To edit the SIP ports used by a SIP Trunk, ensure first of all that the SIP Local Port will not conflict with the SIP Local Port configured under the SIP Proxy Settings and there would be a conflict, change the SIP Proxy Settings - SIP Local Port value before continuing.
Go to [IP PBX] > [Trunks] > [SIP Trunks] and select the Index number of the SIP trunk to edit:
In the SIP Trunk settings:
- Change the Proxy Port to alter the port used to send outbound SIP packets. The default setting is UDP 5060.
- Change the SIP Local Port to alter the port used to receive incoming SIP packets. The default setting is UDP 5070.
Click OK to apply the change.
