Hi, I have some problems and doubts connecting two asterisk servers.
I have one asterisk (serverA), with 1 sip client registered (clientA). I have another asterisk (sever B), with another client (clientB). Now I want to call from client A to B and from B to A. Searching in google i find many configuration examples. For instance: http://etel.wiki.oreilly.com/wiki/index.php/Peering_two_Asterisk_servers_using_IAX There are hundreds of pages like this. Also the book "Asterisk the future of telephony" describes how to configure IAX. But it seems that there are many things missing. I understand I need to configure iax.conf in server A and add an entry for server B as "peer". I also need to include a "register" line in iax.conf of server B. If i do this, i have server B registered in server A. I do the same in server B. The problem is that I see some "rejected" messages, and the servers are not registering. I do not see anything else that i need to do in the configuration examples. Finally, after doing a lot of tests, I tried adding in "users.conf" some lines like: [serverA] type=peer callwaiting = yes fullname = serverA hasagent = yes hasdirectory = no hasiax = yes hasmanager = no hassip = no hasvoicemail = yes host = dynamic secret = serverA threewaycalling = yes vmsecret = 1234 registeriax = yes registersip = no canreinvite = no nat = no dtmfmode = rfc2833 im not sure of some of these parameter. but basicalli i define a new user for the server. if i do not define a user like this in users.conf the registration of the server is rejected. I type in the CLI> iax2 show registry and i see that server A is registered in B and B in A. so it seems fine. Now I update the extensions.conf file accordingly. in server A i define something like exten => clientA_Number,1,Dial(sip/$(exten),10) exten => clientA_Number,2,hangup() exten => clientB_Number,1,Dial(iax2/serverB,$(exten)) exten => clientB_Number,2,hangup() i do the similar in serverB. i am very frustrated because the call does not work. the error is Call rejected by x.x.x.x No authority found Again, after doing a lot of tests, i noticed that if i add a new user in iax.conf like: [clientB] type=friend username=clientB secret=userB ... and i do the following in serverB's iax.conf: register => clientB:[EMAIL PROTECTED] then it seems to work. but i have some doubts on it. i have: - clientA registered in serverA - clientB registered in serverB - serverA registered in serverB - serverB registered in serverA then, why do i need to do an explicit register of clientB in server A in the iax.conf and in the users.conf? i am not sure if this is mandatory (i did not find this configuration in any example, but if i do not do this, the call is rejected in the remote asterisk server) why should server A know all users in server B? is it not enough if server B is registered in server A? i am not an expert in asterisk and i am not sure if this is the correct configuration, but i am a bit tired testing and this is the only way i found to make the calls work, but i dont find it is reasonable, especially when the system grows and then my asterisk server peers with many other servers (do i need to configure my users.conf and iax.conf for *each* of the users of other asterisks?) could someone give me some hints? thanks _______________________________________________ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!
