[asterisk-users] iax2 registration being rejected
Hi. I have a server which is trying to register with me using iax2 and asterisk 1.2. My asterisk server is rejecting the registration saying ip address of server is not dynamic. What does this mean and what do I need to change to accept the registration? Thanks. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?

You must change your peer section in iax.conf to say host=dynamic instead of having an IP address or name for the host setting.

OK, thanks -- I guess I hadn't quite figured out the purpose of registration. on Monday 08/06/2007 Jared Smith([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote On Mon, 2007-08-06 at 11:00 -0400, John covici wrote: Hi.

For IAX it also has the side benefit of setting up path through nat and port mapping routers.

Another thing to keep in mind is to set a low qualify value in Asterisk since some routers will tear down the connection pretty quickly. The qualify acts as a keep-alive and prevents the router from closing the port and losing the map.

Thanks, Steve But if you set timeout lower than actual latency to peer .. it will result in asterisk not sending any calls to peer at all so keeping it too low will create more problem .. however peer will be able to make outgoing calls . I think asterisk doesnt rely on qualify= parameter to keep connection open . Main purpose of qualify option is to make sure peer is not lagged then specified timeout period else call quality will be pathetic .. qualify=200 seems ok . Btw i have never seen a device losing registration when qualify value is set huge ( i keep qualify = 2000 for a very dirty connection sometimes :D so that asterisk will show latency when i do sip show peers and iax2 show peers in cli ) ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
