Before touching any settings, always start with the three built-in diagnostic tools in the VOS3000 client (Manual section 2.9):
To open any tool: Login to VOS3000 client → Tools menu → select the required analyzer. Enable “Auto Refresh” and set the time range to the last 30–60 minutes when troubleshooting. VOS3000 Troubleshooting Guide
Here are the 20 most frequently seen call termination reasons and errors with their exact causes and proven fixes taken directly from the VOS3000 manual:
| Error / End Reason | Real Cause (Manual Reference) | Step-by-Step Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Response Timeout | Gateway did not reply to SIP INVITE within SS_SIP_TIMEOUT (default 32 seconds) | 1. Check gateway IP and port 5060 2. Increase SS_SIP_TIMEOUT to 60 in System Parameters 3. Verify firewall allows UDP 5060 |
| Connection Timeout | TCP/TLS socket closed before call setup completed | Check network stability between your server and gateway. Use “ping” and “traceroute” from SSH. |
| Account Locked | Too many failed registration attempts (security setting triggered) | Go to Account → Status → Unlock the account or increase lock time in Security Settings. |
| Insufficient Balance | Account balance below the “Minimum Balance” set in Rate Group | Recharge the account or raise the minimum balance threshold in the rate group. |
| Call Limit Exceeded | Max Concurrent Calls reached for the account or system | Increase “Max Call” value in the account or in System Parameters → SS_MAX_CONCURRENT_CALLS. |
| 486 Busy Here | Destination endpoint returned 486 | Check the called number is not busy on the gateway side. Test with another route. |
| 503 Service Unavailable | Gateway is overloaded or temporarily down | Lower priority of this gateway in LCR or switch to backup route automatically. |
| 404 Not Found | Prefix or number not routed in Dial Plan | Add correct prefix rule in Dial Plan → Prefix Routing. |
| RTP Timeout | No RTP packets received after call answered | Open UDP ports 10000–20000 in firewall or enable RTP Proxy. |
| One-Way Audio | NAT / firewall blocking RTP or wrong external IP in SIP headers | Set correct “External IP” in System Parameters and open RTP range. |
| High CPU Usage | Too many concurrent calls or pending CDR list too large | Increase SS_MAX_CDR_PENDING_LIST_LENGTH to 15000+ and optimize server resources. |
| Pending CDR Not Written | Disk full or SS_CDR_WRITE_INTERVAL too high | Check /home/vos3000/cdr folder space and reduce SS_CDR_WRITE_INTERVAL to 5 seconds. |
| License Verify Failed | License file does not match server MAC or version | Upload the exact .lic file that matches your server MAC address for version 2.1.9.07. |
| 401 Unauthorized | Wrong username/password in SIP trunk or account | Double-check credentials in SIP Trunk settings. |
| 403 Forbidden | IP not allowed in SIP Trunk whitelist | Add your server IP to the gateway’s allowed list. |
| AS R Drop Alarm | ASR suddenly fell below alarm threshold | Set proper ASR alarm in System → Alarm Settings and add backup routes. |
| Balance Alarm Triggered | Account balance reached low balance warning | Configure email/SMS notification in Alarm Settings for immediate recharge alerts. |
| Disk Usage Alarm | /home or /var partition >85% full | Clean old CDR files or expand disk space on your dedicated server. |
| Process Down Alarm | VOS3000 core process crashed | Restart service with “service vos3000 restart” and check logs in /home/vos3000/log. |
| Network Interface Down | eth0 or main network interface lost connection | Check server network cable / VPS network settings and reboot network service. |
The most common performance issue in production servers is high CPU caused by a very long pending CDR list. The official parameter SS_MAX_CDR_PENDING_LIST_LENGTH (default 5000) should be increased to 15000–25000 for servers handling 1000+ concurrent calls. You will also find SS_CDR_WRITE_INTERVAL and SS_CDR_BUFFER_SIZE in System Parameters.
According to the manual, one-way audio occurs when the RTP port range (usually 10000–20000) is blocked or the external IP is not correctly set. Go to System Parameters → set “RTP External IP” to your public IP and open the UDP range in your firewall (iptables or firewalld).
Always keep the license file exactly matching your server’s MAC address and the installed version 2.1.9.07. Copy the license to /home/vos3000/license/ and restart the service. VOS3000 Troubleshooting Guide
VOS3000 has six major alarm categories: System, Network, Disk, Process, Mapping/Routing, and Balance. Set rise and decline thresholds for ASR, ACD, concurrent calls, and disk usage. Enable email and SMS alerts so you get notified before customers complain. VOS3000 Troubleshooting Guide

Q1: Why is my SIP registration failing in VOS3000?
Most common reasons are firewall blocking port 5060, wrong password, or IP not whitelisted. Use Registration Analysis tool to see the exact error code.

Increase SS_MAX_CDR_PENDING_LIST_LENGTH and check disk space in the CDR folder.
Q3: How do I fix one-way audio?
Set the correct external RTP IP and open UDP ports 10000–20000.
Q4: What causes high CPU usage?
Too many pending CDRs or insufficient server resources. Adjust the pending list length parameter.
