 What you are looking for is a "static port". Enable advanced outbound nat at firewall>nat, outbound tab. Then copy the automatically created rule for LAN and change it to only use source <cisco ip="" phone="">/32 and make sure to check the "static port" option. Move this rule above the automatically created nat rule for LAN. Then go to diagnostics>states, reset states and reset the states. Maybe reboot the phone to make sure it reestalishes all states.</cisco>

 i dont think he means a static port mapping but rather something what is called on some routers "port triggering" a software opens a connection on a certain port to a certain port. 
 (–> above: inside:XXX -> outside:XXX)a package would have to see that and then map the 
 outside port to the inside port and source
 (--> above: outside:XXX -> inside:XXX)
 after some time the mapping (or after the connection is closed) will be deleted.

 He's talking about an IP-Phone, it must be the static port option ;-)

 Btw, scrambling ports during NAT is a security feature and not meant to piss people off. However some applications/protocols don't like this behaviour but you can work around it with the outband nat rules.
