"unknown" usually indicates that there is active communication between Asterisk server and the phone that does not involve a voice codec. An example of that would be registering the phone. Another example would be call setup and teardown before RTP data is sent and codec preference is established.
What's probably happening in your case is you have qualify=yes for each entry in sip.conf. Therefore, Asterisk is communicating with the phones constantly in order to give you a ping time when you type "sip show peers". Try qualify=no in sip.conf. hth -----Original Message----- From: Nitesh Divecha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 2:42 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [Asterisk-Users] How to Clear SIP Channels Hello All, Is there any way to clear the SIP Channels? When I run "sip show channels" on CLI I see +500 SIP Channels active with "unknown" codec. But thats false information, because when I restart my Asterisk and run "sip show channels" I will see the actual active channels with correct codec info. Anyways to clear the sip channels without restarting the Asterisk box or any other solution? Please help!!
