TRY THIS Strange IAX problem.

[Cynjut]

I started experimenting with some inbound IAX phone connections. They worked fine - but now the inbound trunk (also IAX2) with my main office number rings busy. Here are some of the log entries that I believe are pertinent:

[2009-10-21 15:42:24] VERBOSE[3344] logger.c: == Binding IAX2 to default address 0.0.0.0:4569

Why on earth would my inbound IAX trunk be expected to try to authenticate as extension 534?

As soon as I removed the IAX2 extensions, the inbound trunk worked just fine. This performs completely outside of my expectations. Any suggestions?

I'm running PIAF with the most up-to-date software.

What phone are you using as an IAX client. I have seen this behavior with older versions of Zoiper.

Could be that you used the same name for the trunk as an extension or a restricted name like IAX2 (too general). The lines:

[2009-10-21 15:43:11] VERBOSE[3565] logger.c: -- IAX2/VoipStreet-13260 is ringing
[2009-10-21 15:43:11] NOTICE[3366] chan_iax2.c: Host 64.136.174.24 failed to authenticate as 534

Indicate that there is a username/password issue. Have you checked that the IAX extensions or trunk require password authentication?

Hi

What version of Asterisk are you using? If it is a later version then add something like


calltokenoptional = 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
maxcallnumbers = 16382

to iax-general-custom.conf - check the filename!

Adjust for your own requirements.

Old thread, but I ran into the same problem. Multiple PiaF servers on the campus all connected via IAX trunks and dundi. Then I tried adding a VoIPStreet IAX trunk for incoming calls, but it kept trying to authenticate against the dundi trunk between the servers and failing. Working it out with tech support at VoIPStreet we found adding:

permit=<IP address of the other end of your trunk>

to the "Incoming Settings" - "User Details" section in the trunk definition in FreePBX solved it for me.
