How can users troubleshoot call connectivity issues in 3CX?

When troubleshooting call connectivity issues in 3CX, checking network settings and firewall rules is crucial because many connectivity problems arise from improper network configurations. Correct network settings ensure that the necessary ports are open and that the firewall is not blocking SIP traffic or RTP streams.

3CX requires specific ports to be open for various functionalities, including SIP signaling and media transfer. If these ports are not properly configured in the firewall or if there are issues with the network settings, users will experience difficulties in making or receiving calls. Ensuring that the firewall rules correctly allow traffic on the required ports for both the local network and the internet will resolve many common connectivity problems.

While resetting all devices might address some hardware-specific issues, it does not directly address potential misconfigurations in the network settings. Restarting the 3CX application could resolve temporary glitches but typically won’t impact fundamental connectivity issues related to network settings. Changing service providers might be necessary in extreme situations, but it is a significant step that may not be needed if the existing configuration issues can be resolved through proper network settings and firewall rule checks.
