BizPhone Standard handset call dropouts
- Restart the handset by disconnecting its power and Ethernet cables for 10 seconds, then reconnect.
- Ensure that your internet connection is not dropping out at the same time as your calls. Select your broadband service from the iiHelp menu to get troubleshooting guides for iiNet broadband connections.
- Similarly, check if call dropouts are only occurring when a high-demand function is carried out on your network, such as large file uploads, system updates or content streaming. If possible, schedule these functions to run automatically outside of business hours to avoid impact on your BizPhone service.
- Run the BizPhone connection test and check the MOS score on the summary page - a score of 4 or lower will most likely result in call issues. Additionally, make a note of the test result number from both the Speed and VoIP tests.
- Ensure that the SIP ALG setting is disabled in your modem settings by checking the VoIP test results from your BizPhone connection test.
Note: iiNet modems have this setting disabled by default. - Consider enabling QOS (Quality of Service) settings in your modem to allot of a portion of your connection bandwidth for VoIP services only. This can greatly reduce the risk of call dropouts.
