Solution to following problem was to open up enough UDP ports in the firewall. Now all is fine. I hope someone else can benefit from this experience.
I’m having problems with automon. Recording sometimes works and sometimes not depending on which extensions are in use and from which set *1 is initiated. This seems to be consistent with the exception of calls to the PSTN network, where calls may sometimes be recorded, other times not. I don’t see anything in /var/log/messages or asterisk messages. Suggestions would be appreciated.
setup:
Asterisk 1.2.9.1 running on Suse 9.0 (192.168.0.101)
Digium TDM100 with one FXO and one FXS
20 is a VTech analog cordless phone connected to FXS
21 is an X-Lite version 3 - 29712 SIP softphone on win2000 desktop (192.168.0.23)
connection to PSTN via FXO card
observed (all calls go through no problem)
- call from 20 to 21, *1 attempt to record from 20 succeeds
- call from 20 to 21, *1 from 21 fails
- call from 21 to 20, *1 from 21 fails
- call from 21 to 20, *1 from 20 succeeds
- call from 21 to PSTN network number, *1 from 21 fails
- call from 20 to PSTN network number, *1 sometimes fails, sometimes succeeds
