I'm looking to find a test tool that will register with our Asterisk
(Trixbox) server here at work and place an outgoing call via our main
SIP trunk (BroadVoice) to confirm that things are working. I've looked
around but I can't seem to find any tools that will do what I'm
looking for.
I can't just monitor the status of the trunk inside Asterisk, as this
is the normal status:
asterisk*CLI> sip show peers
Name/username Host Dyn Nat ACL Port Status
BroadVoice/425256XXXX 147.135.32.221 N 5060
Unmonitored
...
37 sip peers [Monitored: 5 online, 31 offline Unmonitored: 1 online, 0
offline]
asterisk*CLI>
Alternatively, any suggestions as to how I can change the trunk
configuration so that it is monitored would be appreciated. The peer
config is set as:
allow=ulaw
disallow=all
canreinvite=no
context=from-trunk
dtmf=inband
dtmfmode=inband
fromdomain=sip.broadvoice.com <http://sip.broadvoice.com>
fromuser=425256XXXX
host=sip.broadvoice.com <http://sip.broadvoice.com>
insecure=very
nat=yes
secret=XXXXXXXXXX
type=peer
username=425256XXXX
Any assistance would be appreciated. I'd rather know when things fail
via an automated system rather than learning it's down from the users.

I believe that adding qualify=<enter your value in seconds here> to your
trunk configuration is what you are looking for for the monitoring
state. This will send SIP OPTIONS packets to the trunk periodically.
See "qualify" in the sip.conf samples or documentation.
From there you can use a monitoring solution to monitor the state of
the trunk. Alternatively you can use a OSS tool called SIPp to test SIP
devices. See *http://sipp*.sourceforge.net for more information. This
is an indispensable tool for SIP and Asterisk troubleshooting.
I hope this helps.
