Troubleshooting IP phones

Last updated: 2026-07-15

Most IP phone issues fall into one of four buckets.

Phone won't register

  • Wrong SIP password — check Extension → Security → SIP in Dromlik.
  • TLS required but the phone is set to UDP.
  • Firewall blocking outbound port 5061 (TLS) or the RTP range.

One-way audio

  • NAT — enable rport and STUN on the phone, or put the phone behind a SIP-aware router.
  • RTP port range blocked between the phone and Dromlik.

Auto provisioning doesn't apply

  • Phone isn't factory-fresh — reset it (see Factory reset).
  • MAC address wrong in Dromlik. Compare the MAC on the phone's screen with the one you entered.
  • Time is wrong on the phone (TLS certificate validation fails). Enable NTP.

Random reboots

  • PoE switch port is under-powered. Try a wall PSU.
  • Old firmware — upgrade to the current stable release.
