    Hello,

    I'm unable to make calls due to this problem on my softphone.



    Any ideas how to solve that ?

    Regards,

    It looks like the PureCloud Softphone application is not running on the computer associated with that phone configuration in PureCloud. Or, if the softphone is running it was unable to register with PureCloud when it started up.

    So, check to see if the softphone application is running on the correct computer, and if it shows any errors.

    I have checked.

    The softphone application is running on the correct computer (I have the same Hardware ID).
    But still have the red light with the error 'none of the Line keys are connected to the Edge'.

    Just because it is running does not mean it is registered (as indicated by the red icon in PureCloud Admin).

    When you look at the softphone application icon in your task bar, does it show the red line through it to indicate it is not provisioned/registered?

    That picture helps.

    So, the phone thinks everything is fine, but PureCloud Admin does not. I recommend you right-click the phone icon and choose Exit to shut it down, run the softphone application again and watch to see the messages that pop up. Make sure it is actually connecting to the provisioning server instead of just using its existing configuration (a message will pop up and tell you if it cannot connect to the provisioning server).

    I have followed your steps.

    I got this message for about a few seconds "it cannot connect to the provisionning server" (Attached picture)
    Then I got the previous status Connected - Charaf without provisionning.

    So, it sounds like your computer is not able to reach the PureCloud Edge (the provisioning server) on your network. You will need to troubleshoot why you do not have network connectivity.

    For example, are you using a laptop that is not connected to the same network the Edge is on, or whatever other issue might be preventing communication to the Edge.

    If you know the Edge IP address you can try provisioning the phone manually by right-clicking the icon, and put the edge IP address in the server field as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8089 (e.g., 172.17.10.174:8089) and see if it can find the edge that way.

    I'm using a laptop that is connected to the same LAN the Edge is on.

    for provisioning, I use the manual settings, I put the Edge IP address in the field.

    I don't see a port number on the end of the edge IP address in that screenshot. Should be either :8088 or :8089.

    What happens when you click Next on that screen - do you get a message saying the provisioning server cannot be found?

    I have never used the port number, I used to use only the IP address of the Edge and it works.

    Ok, then...since it reports that it is provisioned and fine, then it must just be a display issue in the PureCloud Admin side.

    One other test, since you said you cannot take calls on that softphone. What happens when you right-click the phone icon on your laptop, choose Dial Pad, and place a call directly from the softphone using its dial pad?

    That looks normal, except for the Respond to ping requests being ticked. That shouldn't hurt.

    When I use the dial pad to place a call from the softphone, I got "connected" but the call is not taking place (my colleague didn't get the call from his side)

    but when I try Purecloud UI dial Pad, nothing happens.

    What happens when you place a call to *86 from the phone dial pad?

    I can dial *86 using the softphone but nothing happens (only a connected message showed)
    In PureCloud I can't even Dial any number.

    It sounds like you need to do some network troubleshooting to figure out what is going on with regard to the SIP packets and RTP packets. Just from what you've shown, it looks like SIP communication is taking place between the phone and the Edge, but the RTP streams are not getting hooked up.

    You can get the SIP packets (in Wireshark capture file format) by turning on Protocol Capture under Diagnostic on the Phone Trunk the softphone is using to register and place calls. Look to see what IP addresses and ports are negotiated between the softphone and the Edge and make sure the path and protocol they agree upon is valid.

    That's about as far as I can take you on the Community.

    below, the details about the conversation using WireShark.

    Do you see anything wrong about Ports, Addresses .. ?

    Thank you in advance.

    I don't know. It all depends on your network setup, the IP address of your laptop, what the packets themselves say.

    The info you show looks like the Edge is sending packets out to the Internet rather than staying on your LAN. Perhaps your SBC or whatever router the Edge is connected to is not configured to keep the traffic local?

    The edge is usually connected to the internet on one physical network port (the WAN port) and to the LAN on another network port.

    After all that...sorry to take you down the long troubleshooting path. I didn't think of a corrupted install.

    I didn't think of a corrupted install neither (Maybe because I had a VM installed on the same laptop and it may cause a problem ....)

    Thank you @George Ganahl I appreciate your help & support.

    For this particular scenario, one thing you have to keep in mind is that the Softphone automatically selects the network adapter with the lowest interface metric.

    You can use this PowerShell command to check the interface metrics:
    Get-NetIPInterface | sort InterfaceMetric
