I wold like to know if for my phone, this url setting will work whenever any sip "Register Failed":

Code:

http://192.168.22.126/cgi-bin/configmanapp.com?key=reboot

I'm using OpenVPN, and I wish to reboot the phone whenever I lost connection (Register Failed). If possible I wold like to specify a minimum time between reboots, for instance, 5 minutes. This will avoid systematic rebooting and the impossibility of accessing the phone web interface in the case of no network or bad sip configuration!

Code:

Firmware Version           9.71.0.140
Hardware Version           7.0.1.61

Hi,

The solution is in the OpenVPN configuration file... You only need to add the following lines to it:

Code:

# Uncomment this section for a more reliable detection when a system
# loses its connection.  For example, dial-ups or laptops that
# travel to other locations.
ping 30
ping-restart 300

This means it pings each half minute, and after 5 minutes without response it restarts de VPN connection. You may chose a smaller period, I chose 5 minutes to guarantee that the DynDNS has the right updated address.

Consider also disabling persist-tun to a broader restart, this way:

Code:

persist-key
;persist-tun

Now the connection stays on all the time with no need to reboot the phone.

Rui
