DHCP server, and the address and port is translated by the SPA8000 using Network Address Translation
(NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT). The packet must then be routed back to the internal network
on the SPA8000 by the local router or the ISP router.
Problems can occur with calls between phones connected to the SPA8000 when an outbound proxy or a
router with hairpinning support is not available. The SPA8000 cannot directly connect the two telephone
devices, but requires a local or remote router to route the packet back to its destination on the local
network from which it originated.
The necessary routing can be provided by a router with hairpinning support, or by an outbound SIP
proxy, which is typically provided by the Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP). When relying on
the ITSP for interconnecting phones on the SPA8000, local phones connected to the SPA8000 are unable
to communicate with each other if the Internet connection is not available for any reason. It is
recommended you connect the SPA8000 to a local router that provides hairpinning support to prevent
this problem.
