Hello. As mentioned in the topic I have my BSNL FTTH connection landing on my Syrotech ONT modem. As I have mentioned in my previous posts, I am setting up a home IPPBX using an Openvox UC501. (I have an Airtel Fibre Connection as well, but I'll work on it later). My network is BSNL + Airtel Fibre O NT>>TP-Link R480T+ Load Balancing Router>> Netgear R6220 Router ( DHCP server for my Home Network) >> Openvox UC501 IPPBX. After reading through other forums, I have configured my WAN profile for Voice to Bridge mode and bound it to Port 2 of the modem. My IPPBX has 2 Ethernet ports: WAN and LAN. The WAN is connected to my home network with a static IP. I have tried connecting the LAN port to the Port 2 of my modem and setup the VOIP profile and SIP trunk on the IPPBX. But it doesn't work.Please help.
I have attached screenshots:
My VOIP WAN PROFILE
Voip Parameters
Gateway and DNS
IPPBX network parameters
 
Am just going to say to bridge it in ONU and then configure in IP phone. Rest is up to you.
 
Thanks @sloj . But I have certain issues:
1) My VoIP WAN profile has been configured in DHCP mode.
2) My VoIP server is : cg.ftth.ims.bsnl.in (I do not know the IP address this resolves to.)
3) I wish to configure the VoIP on my Openvox UC 501 IPPBX which has sorts of settings like WAN, LAN and VLAN for both WAN and LAN. I have no idea which parameters to set in these. (I have attached screen shots above).
 
@Audioctor in your ONT configure voice in Bridge Mode without VLAN, Once you select bridge mode, SIP configuration in ONT is not required. Connect your Port 2 of ONT to WAN port of Openvox UC 501 IPPBX and configure WAN in DHCP/dynamic IP mode and tag VLAN in Openvox UC 501 IPPBX which you earlier had in ONT. Do necessary SIP configuration in Openvox UC 501 IPPBX and it should be working

@Audioctor DHCP is no issue. Use the VOIP URL and see if that works. WAN is the ISP side of things, so you have to enter VLAN (can be used in ONU even in bridge mode), Gateway IP, DNS, and the VOIP URL as @araghavendra mentioned. Also, Port 1 is FE and Port 2 is GE, so use Port 1 instead.

Thanks @araghavendra and @sloj . I'll try that and get back with results.

Just one question, @araghavendra: By "Configuring Voice in Bridge mode without VLAN", do you mean I should Un-Tick "Enable VLAN" in The VOICE WAN Profile and then put in Bridge mode?

Thanks @araghavendra . One more thing: You you said I need to Configure the WAN of Openvox UC 501 and tag VLAN there. That means, if I am not wrong, I need to Configure the WAN VLAN. Now it asks me the VLAN IP address. What address am I supposed to enter there? Pic attached.
WAN VLAN parameters.
 
@Audioctor
VLAN settings has to be done either in ONT or IPPBX but not both, in this case tick the VLAN setting in ONT and leave it blank in Openvox PBX give only dynamic IP in WAN settings and do sip configuration in IPPBX
There is no static IP given by BSNL, VLAN settings has to be done in ONT itself since VLAN IP is compulsory in open vox so avoid it.

@Audioctor am not much familiar with sip trunking, but I think it is simple SIP facility provided by BSNL and not any trunk which can handle simultaneous multiple calls, check if it can be configured in normal sip mode and not sip trunk,
If your requirement is multiple calls simultaneously like PRI then you have to take a SIP trunk facility from BSNL if am not wrong, you have to confirm with Openvox if it can take normal FTTH voice as input without SIP trunk
One more change is enable default route in WAN settings in pic you attached.
 
Thanks @araghavendra. But there is no option of configuring Simple SIP on Openvox. Its just SIP trunk. Besides, I connected the same Port of ONT to my PC. With the Network in DHCP mode, I tried to configure the SIP on Xlite. The PC network profile did acquire the IP address and DNS server parameters but the SIP profile on Xlite cannot seem could not be registered. I could not even ping the gateway 10.146.24.1 from the PC.

I hope I am not missing something here.

Just an update : After enabling the default route mode, the VoIP trunk is now online. But still I cannot make any outgoing or incoming calls.
Any ideas as to what else can be done?
The BSNL Tech person and my LCO so ignorant that it looks that they don't even understand what VoIP is 😢🙄. They keep talking about informing everything to their team at Pune...

As this has not worked, recently have made some changes to this system. I have replaced the TP-Link R480T+ with the Netgear R6220 flashed with Openwrt and mwan3 to work as load balancer. Netgear R6350 has replaced the R6220 as my main router now to which the IPPBX and IP phones etc are connected.
For now, I am just working on the BSNL VoIP.
I have the Syrotech ONT in Bridge Mode with VLAN tagged with Internet profile (VLAN 131) bound to Port2 and Voice profile (VLAN 1849) bound to Port1.
The port1 of ONT is connected to LAN Port 2 of Openwrt and configured as WANC (eth0. 131) while the port2 of ONT is connected to LAN port 3 of Openwrt and configured as BSNL Voice (eth0. 1849).
The WANC successfully acquires IP address via Pppoe and the Internet is live.
BSNL Voice also acquires the IP address in the Voice subnet through DHCP.
I have created static routes to the IMS server and Voice subnet via the BSNL Voice interface.
I can ping the default voice Gateway but not the IMS SIP server (cg.ftth.ims.bsnl.in which resolves to 10.191.177.49).
What do I do next...?
