Port Forwarding to Linksys ATA Unit:

Note: If your ATA unit is working fine, then you may not need to do port forwarding. Just leave the unit as it is. But if you still wish to do port forwarding, then follow the tutorial below.

The following tutorial will teach you on how to perform port forwarding on the broadband router to the linksys ATA unit.

The linksys troubleshooting manual suggests that the UDP ports (5060, 5061, 53, 69, 10000-20000) should be forwarded to the IP address of linksys ATA unit. But it is enough if we just forward the port 5060 to the ATA unit.


Note: before proceeding with this tutorial, please make sure you have assigned static IP address to your ATA unit. You can look at the tutorial on this website "Linksys PAP2T Static IP Set Up Procedure".
