Re: [SR-Users] NAT problem with recvonly calls

Hi Daniel, Removing the sendonly from the INVITE SDP sounds like the most workable solution in our case. We'd only want to do it for a new INVITE though, not a re-INVITE in a situation where a call is put on hold. Would you be able to give an example of such a configuration? Thanks very much for your help!

That will enable rtp from endpoint to doorbell, which may rise additional concerns (e.g., privacy) if its is explicitly not wanted to happen. But as Alex said in another response, the only way to get it work is to make the endpoint behind nat to send a RTP packet. Usually the doorbells I encountered so far were accepting incoming traffic as well, to discuss/interact with the person ringing on it.
