I have a doorbird and would like to connect the SIP interface of the doorbird to asterisk.
Is there an example how to define the pjsip.conf and extension.conf available ?

https://www.doorbird.com/downloads/connect/cnt_asterisk_en.pdf uses the old
sip.conf from earlier versions of Asterisk, but should be easily adaptable to
PJSIP.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
I don’t get it running. I could define an endpoint/user but it does not show any activity. It doesn’t register to asterisk.
In the asterisk CLI it looks like this
-- Added contact 'sip:doorbird@192.168.2.131:5060;ob' to AOR 'doorbird' with expiration of 300 seconds
== Endpoint doorbird is now Reachable

The console output shows an inbound registration. The “pjsip show registrations” CLI command is OUTBOUND registrations. The “Added contact” is the inbound registration, and it also shows as a Contact in “pjsip show endpoints”.
ok, but when I put another endpoint (zoiper softphone) into the pjsip.conf and configure the softphone , it tries tro register but is not successful

You either put it in and did not reload the configuration, or your configuration is invalid (which would result in a message upon loading the configuration).
You haven’t actually shown the configuration.

sorry you are right. After another reload, it shows
-- Added contact 'sip:zoiper@192.168.2.175:35552;transport=UDP;rinstance=2c1c830746b0d539' to AOR 'zoiper' with expiration of 60 seconds
== Endpoint zoiper is now Reachable
but when I try to call the doorbird (extension 6001) from the zoiper phone (extension 6002) I get the error message

You’ve configured the dialplan to call a chan_sip device, not a PJSIP device. It should dial “PJSIP/6001” and not “SIP/6001”.
I have changed it in the dialplan. But the call doesn’t go through
-- Executing [6001@internal:1] Dial("PJSIP/zoiper-00000007", "PJSIP/6001,20") in new stack

In zoiper I see

Okay, do basic troubleshooting. Go through your assumptions and verify that they are true. For example:
Was 6001 registered at the time you placed the call?
You are right. But why can’t the doorbird not register again ?

You’ve named the endpoint “6001”. The doorbird is trying to use the name “doorbird”.
I have two internal stations
- My Doorbird
- A zoiper softphone on debian 12 (that seems to work and seems tp be registered)
this is my pjsip.conf
GNU nano 7.2 pjsip.conf

this is my extension.conf

I would like to call from the zoiper phone the doorbird and I want to call from the doorbird my zioper phone
what is missing ?
Do you understand what this does/means, or dialplan in general?
I have learned that it says which extension can be reached how and from whom
can you recommend a good introduction into asterisk for version asterisk 22
youtube
pdf Documents?
I got it up and running. Can call the doorbird with zoiper
my extensions.conf
exten => 6001,1,Dial(PJSIP/doorbird,20)
exten => 6001,2,Hangup
