Hi
I Would like to know if it is possible to set up a Softphone outside the network using the configuration i have:
I have set up a UC560 which is connected to a managed switch and a SRP527W Router (internet), I know you normally set up a VPN on the UC but is it possible to set up the VPN on the Router and still make it work?
Thanks

Mahesh,
If you would like to register the IPC from the WAN side you would need to open up the firewal. This would open up your network for hacking and toll fraud. You could consider some sought of LAN side VPN tunnel, however this has not been tested.
Cisco recommend EZ VPN for IPC connectivity.

Hi Mahesh,
Not a recommended configuration and also a bad way of doing it.
You can consider doing the following:
That is the only two methods I would recommend and should be very doable in your scenario.
Just a thought for you to consider, otherwise you can do as Navin suggested but you expose yourself to Toll Fraud and other malicious activity.
Cheers,

Hi
Thanks for the advise. Quick question when you try a vpn it uses a port to try and connect right? can't I just portforward that port to the UC560 so it tries to authenticate there instead of the router?
Please let me know if that is possible or would the router just deny the vpn
