MJ had changed something over the last two weeks to cause constant password changes. Though reports are coming in the change has stopped and you are able to once again get your password. Though some are reporting that the username changed to 02. I have not had the time or extra jacks to confirm this.

I am sorry. I have tried fixing this countless times. The issue is I usually write in Microsoft word before posting and a lot of time it adds crap to my posts. I am working on rewriting this document or making it into a video. For now please use firefox.

Hi Michael

Part of this document is not showing up in Internet Explorer 8 because of poorly formatted HTML tags. In IE8, I wasn’t able to see the steps after REquired Tools->XLite.

I viewed this page in firefox and now everything appears.

Thanks

I would suggest checking to make sure you have the NAT setup right. Check my article about over coming NAT. On top of that create another extension have it go to voice mail and test calling a internal line. if that works the issue is most likely your trunk configuration. Make sure you don’t have any spaces and that your dial patterns are correct. You can also look in /var/log/asterisk/full for errors or connect to the asterisk console with asterisk -r then place the call and watch.

Hi Michael, Thanks for a great tutorial. I got xlite to work and my trixbox ce 2.6.2 to work but only for incoming calls. When I try to make outgoing calls I receive a prompt saying all circuits are busy now. Is there a systematic way to go about troubleshooting this. I have read in some forums it could be the codec, while others say it could be the callerid info not being sent? Also Why exactly would I need to patch the kernel?

By: Michael

Michael — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 16:51:32 +0000

Jake the patch will work. It is not as easy to do on trixbox as it is to do in pbxinaflash. This is due to the source for asterisk is not included in trixbox and will require you to download it and recompile the whole asterisk portion of your pbx.

The patch is on page 1 of this forum post and the how to is on page two. This post assumes you have the source currently though.

Thanks for the quick reply Michael, I did change the listening port on the proxy and the trunk registration.

I am using trixbox 2.6 – will the chan_sip patch work? Do you have the link for the patch? I might have to use your services if patching wouldn’t work.

I am definitely recommending this site to my friends who also just setup their pbx recently. Good Job!

By: Michael

Michael — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 19:12:01 +0000

Jake did you change the listen port or did yo change the other one? You need to change the listen port on the proxy and on the trunk registration you change it there as well. That should fix it. If you are using asterisk it is better to patch the chan_sip file. This is more advance but makes life so much easier and smoother.

if I use port 5071 on the second trunk, do I have to change all the port numbers in the trunk peer details? also in the reg string?

By: Jake

Jake — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 18:10:31 +0000

Everything works for me. Although your suggestion on running multiple instances of magic jack didn’t work. I changed the second mjproxy to use 5071 but could not register. Any suggestions? or is there some steps to follow?

By: Eldon

Eldon — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 19:12:00 +0000

Michael, thanks for the response. I finally got my sip info. Got my Eyebeam to work for a split minute than gone. I have a question regarding the proxy. My doesnt start with proxy01. Instead its vms03.xxx.talk4free.com. I tried using both and still doesnt work. Any suggestions?

By: Michael

Michael — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 17:18:06 +0000

You still need the ports open on your router. Where ever your internet is coming from those ports need open or it will not work.

By: Michael

Michael — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 17:17:22 +0000

Make sure your jack is registered. Once that is done place a call to make sure it is working. Then unplug it and load up Sipdump. Once that is up plug the jack in when you start to see the add press ok. I run it on windows 7 64 bit and 32 with no issues.

By: Eldon

Eldon — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 00:59:28 +0000

Tried SIPDump all day today and not be able to get pass step 4. I’m not getting anything more than 600 KB. This work with Window 7? This is challenging.. any suggestions? Thanks!

BTW I’m trying to use MJ with Eyebeam.

Michael, just finished reading your article about overcoming NAT, but since I am running a SIP softphone (X-Lite) on Windows XP, the advice you give there seems not to apply to my situation. I hate taking up your time, and would gladly compensate you for the appropriate solution. I have PC Anywhere installed on my main PC, with access to my Sonic Wall router, so if you or one of your techs want to log in and try fixing the issue, I’ll consider your fee required for doing so.

Thanx again!
Mario

Michael — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 17:49:50 +0000

The issue is the nat and ports. Look at my article on here about over coming nat and that should fix the sound and voicemail issue.

By: Mario Carmona

Mario Carmona — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 17:42:50 +0000

Michael, thank you! It worked PARTIALLY. Whenever I use a different port OTHER than 5070 (including 5071), I can get the magicJack account to register, and can make outgoing calls with that magicJack number, but incoming calls work partially; incoming goes to magicjack voicemail on caller’s end, but on X-Lite (magicJack receiving end), it keeps ringing. When answered, you hear nothing. Meanwhile, calling end is dealing with magicjack voicemail.

When I switch everything back to port 5070, all works perfectly. Weird eh? Any ideas?

Thanx,
Mario

By: Michael

Michael — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 01:39:15 +0000

Mario you need to have each mjmd5 listen on a different port ie 5070 5071. They will all go out 5070 but you need different listen ports, what ever port you use make sure you use in the reg string as well or in the proxy setting on your client.

By: Mario Carmona

Mario Carmona — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 21:32:17 +0000

Got a question about using multiple Magic Jack accounts with my ExpressTalk SIP softphone. I’ve set up the MJMD5.exe proxy to create the hash required by magicJack’s servers, and it works fine with ONE magicJack account/phone number.

However, when I try setting up a 2nd magicJack account (say, Line 2) within ExpressTalk, and run a 2nd instance of MJMD5 with respective magicJack password, proxy address, etc… it will not work.

Any ideas or suggestions? Do I have to use different ports within MJMD5 and Express Talk, for this 2nd magicJack account?

Would greatly appreciate any insight or ideas that will allow me to run multiple magicJack accounts on my PC…

Kindest Regards,
Mario Carmona

Forgot this line:

Both ports 5060 and 4569 came out as “open|filtered” after doing the nmap

By: Luis

Luis — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 17:32:25 +0000

Okay, here’s the problem:

I did an nmap -sU -p 5060 localhost and
I did an nmap -sU -p 4569 localhost
(my primary DIDs are bound to)

but after nmap -sU -p 5070 localhost
it came back closed

I opened up the port from the etc/sysconfig/iptables (did a service iptables save) but it still does not show up as open|filtered. This might be causing the issue.

Thanks for helping out Michael. I will try to do this on my own first so I could learn more about what’s causing it.

By: Michael

Michael — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 13:03:09 +0000

Luis without seeing your system it is hard to see. Can you create me a read only account in the freepbx config and grant me access to look. Thoughts are the number of rings on your pbx is greater then 4. I believe MagicJack voice mail picks up at 4. I would create an extension and assign your inbound route for the MagicJack trunk to that extension and create a VM box for testing.

Luis also try this: http://www.digitaloffensive.com/2010/05/overcoming-sip-over-nat/#more-204

By: Luis

Luis — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 09:52:39 +0000

I opened up the ports and had my other inbound routes working for troubleshooting.

My MJ inbound did manage to go to VM now(not the extension VM but the DID vm), but that is not what I wanted. I tried to add some lines on the extensions_custom.conf but did not help at all.

Am I getting close here?

By: Michael

Michael — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 23:59:38 +0000

This is usually because you don’t have the ports open on your firewall and or you are behind a NAT and don’t have your settings for NATing setup right. Check my article over coming NAT and SIP and open the firewall up.

By: Luis

Luis — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 22:30:51 +0000

This is still working up to now. The outbound calls work just fine, but I could not get the inbound to work correctly.

Which version of Wireshark did you use?

By: Michael

Michael — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 17:26:06 +0000

I heard you should be but I have not edited mine. I have done that for clients that are running multiple jacks so as to stay below the radar as much as possible.

Do I need to be concerned with the user agent that asterisk sends to MJ server?

By: Tony

Tony — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 17:16:59 +0000

Michael, my bad. Apparently I edited sip.conf before going to bed Sunday night and didn’t check if my mod worked, the by Monday I forgot that I had altered sip.conf. All is working again after removing the lines I added to sip.conf.

Question for you or to anyone else. How can I disable the MJ 4 rings before voicemail kicks in while on my asterisk?

By: Michael

Michael — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 11:23:17 +0000

This still works. At no time are you using my site in the directions for proxying. All settings are Magic Jacks. I suggest you review your logs. tail -f 10 /var/log/asterisk/full to see what is happening. As of this morning all my Magic Jacks are still up and running fine.

By: Tony

Tony — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 06:39:06 +0000

I tried this on Sunday and it worked incoming and outgoing then, by Monday my trunk no longer registered, no calls in or out. Did MJ change the registration string or blocking digital offensive proxy? Is there a work around?

Michael,

Thanks you SOOO much for this posting!

Everything worked like a charm with the exception of testing with X-lite.

I am using a Cisco SPA504G which is essentially the updated and improved version of the Linksys SPA942 – 4 Line IP Phone. I put my freephoneline.ca home phone number as my main number and my MagicJack as my secondary number. The whole MD5 encrypted password thing that MagicJack implemented kinda sucks but I am running MJMD5 on the computer connected to the SPA504G and I have my MagicJack line pointed to the MJMD5 and the MJMD5 pointed to my MagicJack proxy pointed to proxy01.dallas1.talk4free.com which is my MagicJack proxy in Dallas.

I also had to run SIPDump 3 times before finding my password and FYI I never had a dump larger than about 20,617 KB either…

I could have not done it without your expert tutorial though

Thanks Again!!!

This does work I do about 3 + of these a week for people. Some magic Jacks have issues and need to be upgraded or basically reset by wiping it and restarting.

By: Moe

Moe — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 23:18:12 +0000

can anyone confirm that this still works I got a 21 digit number and letter password I got the username and proxy. But when I try to connect using mjmd5 and xlite I get timeout error.

First thanks for your reply and sorry for the multiple post.
If i see the same phone and no numbers else after SIP.Connection.Refresh in the 4 dump files, so does it mean that the password wasn’t found ? or what ?

By: Michael

Michael — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 12:00:56 +0000

I am glad you learned how to use Google. Beware next time you decide to send countless comments on the same subject we will not answer any of them. We all have full time jobs and are not at a keyboard 24 x 7 to respond to our web users. Customers of ours are given our number and email.

Per your question about the telephone number I do not know. The config is not a standard and you may have to check each of the 4 dumps before you find the password. I guess you are seeing the contact number as it is part of the memory of magic jack and it does load it on the right hand side when it boots up.

By: cslinux

cslinux — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 02:26:14 +0000

It’s k , i’ve searched and douns the SIPDump, but when i used it as shown above I got:
SIP.Connection.Refresh and below it a phone number for one of my contacts , any idea what does that mean ?

By: Michael

Michael — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 20:22:05 +0000

MagicHack: Where it says proxy information enter the local IP of the computer you are running MJMD5 on. The issue is that Magic Jack requires the packet to have a MD5 hash. Your PAP2T does not have the option built in so you are still required to run a proxy some where for this to work. I am starting to think that hosting a remote MJproxy service may become a good idea. If you do this and change the user agent to the new one which can be found by a simple Google you should be good to go.

Hi Michael,

Thanks a lot for posting such a great article on how to handle this seemingly impossible task of getting SIP credentials from MJack. I was able to make and receive calls using XLite.

I was successful in getting my SIP and password, however, my goal is to be able to use my PAP2T with these credentials. I have tried the configuration on this page: http://www.icrawl.org/485225513-pap2t-magicjack-setup

but i’m unsuccessful in making/receiving calls, nor there is a dial tone. I get this error ” Registration State: Can’t connect to login server”.

Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again
