Re: [Asterisk-Users] Using IAXTel to dial FWD
Joe, Inline comments... now. But if you have a look at this page - http://www.freeworlddialup.com/advanced/iax you will find that you can now use FWD with IAX2 along with SIP :) FWIW, I just moved our FWD account to iax2, and it works rather well with *. The referenced web page does have a couple of configuration errors on it, but nothing all that difficult to diagnose/fix. Also, it appears the FWD - IaxTel definitions are incorrect (again) causing problems with connectivity in both directions. Could you share your conf files with us. I followed the instructions on the fwd page, but I had to add allow=ulaw to the iax.conf general section (which was hinted on the page but easily missed), and changed the Dial statements (since only one of them is needed). I also wrote back to FWD regarding this and Ed has updated those fwd pages as of yesterday. Might compare your config files to his again. What he is showing on the pages right now should work just fine; they do work for me. I can connect to FWD on my asterisk - but FWD only see me as an external SIP agent and not a SIP client of the FWD network. DOn't know exactly why - so would luv to compare your conf files. I don't know that I'm understanding your statement above relative to sip. Taking a guess... one of the steps on the page indicates you have to write an email to Ed and ask him to make the changes so your account uses iax2 instead of sip. That note suggests it might take a day or two for those manual changes to be completed. It could be your changes have not been completed as yet, or you didn't send him the email; tough to guess based only on the words noted above. If you previously had a register statement in your sip.conf for fwd, you should comment it out as its no longer needed after the iax conversion. The following steps should help you diagnose what is happening: 1. I don't remember which asteisk config file changes get reread when you do an asterisk relaod command from the CLI, so just get in the habbit of stop now and restart asterisk from scratch when making the changes needed for this sip to iax conversion. 2. If your register statement in iax.conf is correct, then when you execute the iax2 show registry it should return something like: Host UsernamePerceived Refresh State 65.39.205.121:456962353 203.212.183.101:4569 60 Registered where 62353 represents your fwd number (whatever it is). If you don't see the above, then fix your register statement and stop/restart asterisk. 3. FWD site indicates that dialing 612 will provide you with the current time. Assuming you followed the instructions correctly on their page, dial that number from one of your phones, then execute iax2 show channels while the call is in progress. You should see something like: Peer UsernameID (Lo/Rem) Seq (Tx/Rx) Lag Jitter Format 65.39.205.12162353 1/1 3/7 0ms 0019ms ULAW 1 active IAX channel(s) The above would confirm your outbound entries in extensions.conf and iax.conf are correct. If you don't see the above, then go back and check your configs again. 4. The FWD site includes a page that sends a test call to your asterisk box. Find it and use it to generate an incoming call, which will test all remaining configuration statements on your system. Its currently about half the way down the page at: http://www.freeworlddialup.com/content/view/full/274/ where it says Call Me. It is a handy way to make inbound call tests without bothering other FWD users. 4. Last, you should be able to originate a call to your own FWD number and watch the asterisk CLI send that call to FWD, and FWD attempting to call your phone. Read those statements very carefully as the words will actually describe most configuration problems. If you want to test further, then initiate a FWD call from some other phone other then the one that you normally receive incoming FWD calls from. You should be able to call yourself via FWD nicely. If you still can't get this to work, then give us some real output from your asterisk CLI, and paste portions of the extensions.conf and iax.conf that relate to this.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Using IAXTel to dial FWD
I can connect to FWD on my asterisk - but FWD only see me as an external
SIP agent and not a SIP client of the FWD network. DOn't know exactly why
- so would luv to compare your conf files.
There is really not much you can do about that with your local
configuration.
The problem is on FWD's Asterisk, it doesn't properly log an IAX user into
the
SIP Express router. The only service that is broken because of it seems to
be
PSTN access. There has been a long discussion about this in the FWD forum.
You can see this in your received calls log on FWD. The registration realm
is
not proper, it's just the IP address of the asterisk server.
The following configuration should help those who would like to give this a
try.
Finally, a note regarding the FWD setup with unauthenticated calls and host
access
only, as shown below in the [fwd-in] section and the FWD website:
Technically this is an incorrect configuration and security hole, as there
should be some
authentication token, either a secret or a key (as the IAXTEL people are
using)
Since FWD IAX was announced, the chan_iax driver has been changed to allow
this without failure if you have more than one such client in your config
file (it had to
be the last one, before the change, or you had to accept the call totally
unauthenticated
through the default context, which was a major bug.
Note also that you have to have g711 enabled with FWD.
