First of all, before anybody starts telling me off, although I am a newbie, before posting this I did the following:
Learned linux basic commands
Performed succesful linux installs and configs
Installed and updated asterisk and the gui
After seeing how problematic gui is, did all editing by hand
Learned to use the CLI of asterisk
searched every major and minor source of voip info via google.
When I restart asterisk, broadvoice registration just keeps timing out. I saw elsehwre a solution which I implements, which is to change the IP in the etc/hosts so you are registering to a different broadvoice proxy. This works for now, but what happens when a network blink sometime on a workday disconnects and we cannot reconnect? They will have to track me down and I do this crazy thing?
Anybody have a better answer, and switching providers is probably not answer, even though we just started with broadvoice.
Do you always see this, or is the problem intermittent? Broadvoice seem to be having problems lately. There are periods, often once or twice a day, when registrations time out. This goes on for several minutes before the registration succeeds.
This problem fixed! I reinstalled the codec modules and the error went away. However a new error is in its place
chan_sip.c: 3075 retrans_pkt maximum retries exceeded on transmision xxxxxxxxxx@sip.broadvoice.com . Then I cannot register – not sure if the two are connected, as having lots of problems registering at broadvoice in general, servers messed up for a ferw days according to someone else here
I found an old trick on another forumof changing the sip.broadvoice enter in hosts file and then trying to register, which worked and let me register. What is up with broadvoice?
