I’ve had a heck of a time getting a SIP channel to work in Asterisk
1.2.7.1 (Redhat 9.0). I’ve done it successfully a number of times on
pre 1.2 versions of Asterisk so perhaps it’s version related. Any
insights are welcome!
At first I wasn’t able to dial out on the SIP channel whenever I
started Asterisk (i.e. not just when the box was booted). I always
had to do a reload from the CLI before it would work. Using Ethereal
I noticed that there seemed to be some trouble resolving my ITSP’s
hostname sip.unlimitel.ca (althogh I cannot explain why it would
always start working after a reload) so I ended replacing the
hostname sip.unlimitel.ca with the actual IP address (64.26.157.251).
Not pretty but at least I can call out now. BTW adding:
sip.unlimitel.ca 64.26.157.251
to hosts didn’t help.
I’d be grateful for any insights on this and whether there’s a more
elegant sol’n.
Anyway I was able to call out on that SIP channel but I couldn’t
receive calls on it. I captured a SIP debug trace and noticed
something about the SIP number not being in the context. The context
associated w/ the SIP channel looked like this:
[incoming]
exten => s,1,NoOp(${CONTEXT})
exten => s,n,Ringing()
exten => s,n,GoTo(attendant-MainMenu,s,1)
exten => s,n,Hangup()
I found that I had to add:
exten => _6477235412,1,NoOp(${CONTEXT})
exten => _6477235412,n,Ringing()
exten => _6477235412,n,GoTo(attendant-MainMenu,s,1)
exten => _6477235412,n,Hangup()
I found this odd because I thought s would be sufficient (it has been
in the past). Any comments you can share w/ me on this?
I’ve also noticed this warning message from time-to-time in the CLI:
WARNING[2203]: chan_sip.c:9633 handle_response_register: Got 200 OK on
REGISTER that isn’t a register
Any ideas?
My SIP.conf is below. BTW what’s auth=md5 supposed to do. I can’t
find any documentation on it so I commented it out.
Many Thanks,
H
