Parameter  Description 
NAT Traversal 
configure voip > media 
settings > disable-NAT-
traversal 
[NATMode] 
Enables the NAT traversal feature for media when the device 
communicates with UAs located behind NAT. 
  [0] Enable NAT Option = NAT traversal is performed only if the UA 
is located behind NAT: 
  UA behind NAT: The device sends the media packets to the IP 
address:port obtained from the source address of the first 
media packet received from the UA.  
  UA not behind NAT: The device sends the packets to the IP 
address:port specified in the SDP 'c=' line (Connection) of the 
first received SIP message.  
Note: If the SIP session is established (ACK) and the device (not 
the UA) sends the first packet, it sends it to the address obtained 
from the SIP message and only after the device receives the first 
packet from the UA does it determine whether the UA is behind 
NAT. 
  [1] Disable NAT = (Default) The device considers the UA as not 
located behind NAT and sends media packets to the UA using the 
IP address:port specified in the SDP 'c=' line (Connection) of the 
first received SIP message. 
  [2] Force NAT = The device always considers the UA as behind 
NAT and sends the media packets to the IP address:port obtained 
from the source address of the first media packet received from the 
UA. The device only sends packets to the UA after it receives the 
first packet from the UA (to obtain the IP address). 
  [3] NAT By Signaling = The device identifies whether or not the UA 
is located behind NAT based on the SIP signaling. The device 
assumes that if signaling is behind NAT that the media is also 
behind NAT, and vice versa. If located behind NAT, the device 
sends media as described in option [2] Force NAT; if not behind 
NAT, the device sends media as described in option [1] Disable 
NAT. This option is applicable only to SBC calls. If the parameter is 
configured to this option, Gateway calls use option [0] Enable NAT 
Option, by default. 
For more information on NAT traversal, see 'First Incoming Packet 
Mechanism' on page 161. 
NAT IP Address 
configure voip > sip-
definition general-settings > 
nat-ip-addr 
[StaticNatIP] 
Defines the global (public) IP address of the device to enable static 
NAT between the device and the Internet. 
Note: 
  For the parameter to take effect, a device reset is required. 
  The parameter is applicable only to the Gateway application. 
[NATBindingDefaultTimeout]
The device sends SNMP keep-alive traps periodically - every 9/10 of 
the time configured by the parameter (in seconds). Therefore, the 
parameter is applicable only if the SendKeepAliveTrap parameter is 
set to 1. 
The parameter is used to allow SNMP communication with 
AudioCodes EMS management platform, located in the WAN, when 
the device is located behind NAT. It is needed to keep the NAT pinhole 
open for the SNMP messages sent from EMS to the device.
