Moving from sip.conf to pjsip.conf

Asterisk Asterisk SIP
1

Hi all,

I currently have a raspberry with buster and asterisk 16.x that I need to migrate to bookworm and asterisk 20.x. I’m trying to migrate the sip.conf/users.conf config to pjsip.conf, unfortunately without success at the moment.

My asterisk server (192.168.1.25) is connected to an analog telephone adapter (ATA 192.168.1.55 → 1000 in the config) and an external provider (my.sip.domain).

;===============================================

[transport-udp]

protocol = udp
bind = 192.168.1.25:5060

external_signaling_address = my.own.network

unfortunately my ATA is not able to register to the provider and I get this message in the log full :

I used the pjsip.conf.sample file to create my own config. I’m not very experienced and after several unsuccessful migration attempts, I’d be very glad to have some help.

I went through this recently, I posted what for me was a working pjsip.conf in this thread and a couple of the much more knowledgeable people pointed out mistakes, but the thread might help.

3

Thanks a lot for your help. There is a lot of differences between our two configs. I have to check all the point. I let you know. I’ll let you know as soon as I can.

4

I hope it helps. I use Twilio and I’ve no idea how close or how far apart their requirements are from your provider. I struggled with converting from sip to pjsip on and off for a year or two before I finally got it working. I don’t recall sip being that hard, but it was 15 years ago and the asterisk mail list was amazing and the Asterisk book was extremely helpful. Sadly, I’ve no idea what I finally did that made it work, nor do I have what most of the config files does, but Twilio said, your system will likely stop working if you don’t upgrade so I was under a bit of pressure. A few people here were amazingly helpful in getting it working. I think those same people, david551 and jcolp, were active in the thread I linked to.

I did take your config as template. I had to add some square brackets in the last section. I still have warnings and errors:

With my config I had the same message about AOR not found.

There are so many ways to make something wrong, I’ll double-check the configuration.
Basically, in my config, I have a register section that is not present in yours. On the other hand, I only have an endpoint section for outbound/inbound. I don’t know if this could cause a problem?

I finally managed to solve one part of my problem, thanks to this post (outbound):

https://www.reddit.com/r/Asterisk/comments/lidnfj/pjsip_how_to_customize_aor_and_auth_section_name/?rdt=62866

It seems that in some cases, the endpoint name and aor name should be same (or is easier so). I modified the extension as follows:

Inbound is still not working

7

I think in my examples everything but auth had the same name and as the type line defines the section it seems to work fine. I would certainly make all the names the same as a test, there is no downside I saw.

8

I made some progress, now I’m able to get inbound/outbound working. It seems that extensions.conf is no more working the same as previous. I have to specify my phone number with country code to catch the local phone number:

[incoming]

; incoming calls to ATA
; check if blacklisted

exten => s,1,GotoIf(${BLACKLIST()}?blacklisted)
exten => 412433322XX,1,goto(ATA,s,1)
same => n(blacklisted),Hangup()

[ATA]
exten => s,1,Dial(PJSIP/1000,m) ; ATA Gigaset dial Local

I still have 2 problems, one with moh (res_musiconhold.c:385 ast_moh_files_next: Unable to open file ‘/var/lib/asterisk/moh/moh2’: No such file or directory), This may be not a big problem. And the second problem is that I want to have a delay of 4 seconds before ringing to prevent call centers. This was working with my old sip.conf, but this is no more the case with pjsip.conf:

same => n,Dial(Local/channel_1@DelayToRing,m) ; ATA dial Local with delay
same => n(blacklisted),Hangup()

[DelayToRing]
exten => channel_1,1,Verbose(2,Dialing the ATA phone with delay)
same => n,Wait(4)
same => n,Dial(PJSIP/1000)
same => n,Hangup()

Let’s see if I can get it working again

I finally managed to solve all the problems. There were still 2 modules not loaded by default (codec_alaw.so for Europe and func_blacklist.so). Finally, the path to the music on hold file was incorrect.

To recap, for the local phone extension, the sections endpoint and aor names must be identical. Then extension.conf file needs to capture the local phone number. Finally, check the setup above.

Thanks to iraemus for providing an example, which was very helpull to compare

10

I don’t know why it has to have the whole phone number as a target and doesn’t work with s,1. I did look at my old sip.conf and it had the numbers in it also for both providers I use.

11

Typically, when you have a sip trunk, a call to a DID is sent by your provider to your PBX over the trunk as a call to that extension. So when someone calls (as an example) 555-555-1234, the call comes in to my Asterisk from the trunk as a call to extension 5555551234. Even if you only have a single number on that trunk.

The old (s,1) stuff was for when you were dealing with analog lines being digitized by cards. I still use it for IVR entrypoints in a probably improper fashion. It might be useful if you’re “faking” a trunk by using peer mode in SIP.

But for most providers that support full SIP trunking and PBX, you’re going to be sent a full DID and your dialplan needs to account for that.

12

Thank you, I started with Analog lines and must have put in the DID targets so long ago I didn’t remember.

13

[ Although my main point was correct, I got a bit confused when first writing this. I hope it is now correct. ]

That tends to be true for IP based identification, but it appears that a significant proportion of providers using REGISTER handle REGISTER as per the RFC, and set the request URI to the Contact header URI, whose user part is done as an extra string in the register string in chan_sip, but as an explicit, named, option in chan_pjsip. The default for that is s.

It is possible that chan_pjsip users are more likely to think they have to provide a value because it is an explicitly named option.

Typically, if the provider handles registration contacts correctly, they will put the DID in the To header, but other methods are used.

The request URI user becomes the initial extension.

14

Unfortunately, I still have a problem with my config somewhere. After a while (I haven’t yet determined how long), incoming calls no longer work.
My first thought was the problem described below:

I added the specified parameters without success. I can’t see anything particular in the log (full).

Any idea?

15

I finally managed to solve the last problem. In fact, with the migration to Debian 12, the firewall interrupts UDP sessions, even established, and so my server was no longer responding to INVITE from my provider.

As stated in the following link I had to add the parameter “qualify_frequency = 120” in the AOR of my endpoint. Since then, everything has worked fine.
