Asterisk version: 1.01
My situation is the following:
My Asterisk box won’t Dial a specific remote Asterisk server. It dials other servers correctly (and all servers have the same configuration). Other servers can dial this remote server too (so it’s not a firewall problem).
I tried using a Windows program called Firefly to test this. In this program, the URL is dialed correctly, and someone answers at the other side (IAX2/user:pass@somedomainat.dnsalias.com/30).
The same line “exten => 30,1,DialIAX2/user:pass@somedomainat.dnsalias.com/30)” in extensions.conf doesn’t work. The CLI on the server that’s dialing gives me this (IPs, domain names and passwords were changed for the purpose of this posting):
“-- Accepting AUTHENTICATED call from 201.202.203.204, requested format = 1024, actual format = 1024
– Executing Dial(“IAX2/user@user/5”, “IAX2/usename:password@some_domain_name_at.dnsalias.com/30”) in new stack
– Called username:password@some_domain_name_at.dnsalias.com/30
