I just tried setting all my phone's to type=peer.
Seems to break everything. I heard that type=friend was going to be phased out
in upcoming releases of Asterisk. I sure hope the developers have thought this
though.
Reason? Well our phones send calls to Asterisk through OpenSER. We have
multiple OpenSER systems that the calls may hit Asterisk from. When I set all
my phone accounts in my sip peers table to type=peer, Asterisk no longer
matches against them, and instead matches against the OUTGOING OpenSER proxy
entries (we place calls to the PSTN through OpenSER too). I guess it does this
because it matches the source IP address of the INVITE against the host= value
against the proxy in sip.conf.
Asterisk responds with:
--- (14 headers 14 lines)---
Using INVITE request as basis request - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sending to xxx.187.142.205 : 5060 (non-NAT)
Found no matching peer or user for 'xxx.187.142.205:5060'
Bottom line is that incoming calls from phones through OpenSER no longer match
against the individual phones accounts, but against the outgoing (they have
PEER!) OpenSER proxy entries. Now that I think about it, why the heck do
incoming calls match against a type=peer entry anyway? I thought a peer was for
outgoing calls only???
Is this the way it's going to work in some future release of Asterisk?
Btw, I tried setting the phones to peer because I don't know what the frig I'm
doing.

I've been going in circles for a few weeks now with Realtime SIP.
My extconfig.conf has:
sipusers => mysql,dbname,ast_sip_users
sippeers => mysql,dbname,ast_sip_users
When I do a 'sip show peers' I see all my phones. When I do a 'sip show
users' I only see a few of them. I can't work out why this is the case. They
are also coming up with NAT as 'RFC3581', eventhough I have nat set to NO for
every friend in the ast_sip_users table.
In short, phones make and receive calls, so they should be defined as
type=friend, right? Should I point sipusers and sippeers from extconfig to the
same table? Why does 'extconfig' have sipusers and sippeers? This is driving me
nuts! Is this actually documented anywhere?
Doug.
