Asterisk configuration

[evilmonkey]

Hi everyone,

Every couple of years or so I like to ask the gurus that lurk this forum about the optimal asterisk configuration. I have asterisk set up and it works, but I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to make bolder/better/faster/stronger. This is my configuration today:

Code: Select all

username=1##########
type=friend
trustrpid=yes
sendrpid=yes
secret=[hidden]
qualify=yes
nat=yes
insecure=port,invite
host=voip.freephoneline.ca
dtmfmode=auto
context=from-pstn
canreinvite=nonat
disallow=all
allow=ulaw&g729&g722&gsm

register string: 1##########:[hidden]@voip.freephoneline.ca/1##########

Thanks!

I tried it but when u reload the sip u get the following error

[Mar 25 20:05:09] WARNING[1888]: sip/config_parser.c:812 sip_parse_nat_option: nat=yes is deprecated, use nat=force_rport,comedia instead


the ping time also goes high all of a sudden and then drop low
[Mar 25 20:10:14] NOTICE[1888]: chan_sip.c:23248 handle_response_peerpoke: Peer 'FPL' is now Lagged. (2027ms / 2000ms)
[Mar 25 20:10:24] NOTICE[1888]: chan_sip.c:23248 handle_response_peerpoke: Peer 'FPL' is now Reachable. (26ms / 2000ms)

I wonder if it is from my server or FPL server

The voip.freephoneline.ca server has been giving me lagged messages for quite a while now. Change it to voip2.freephoneline.ca and I am sure you will find it much better.

My trunk peer details are

Code: Select all

username=161336XXXXX
type=friend
secret=SECRET
qualify=yes
insecure=invite
host=voip2.freephoneline.ca
context=from-trunk

Which seems to work for me OK.

[abuzuhair]

yeah I guess voip2.freephoneline.ca is much more stable

Thanks Jake

Thanks for the tip on voip2. Does the rest of the config look okay?

Hi there,

Please set qualify=no

Thanks,

Done. Are you worried about the bit of bandwidth used to reply to OPTIONS message?

Hi,

No i am not worried. This is how I configure it myself since this is a trunk.

If it was an extension, I will change to yes.

It is common for trunks to be setup this way.

Thanks,

Guys, where do you enter this on a Trixbox?
In the trunk settings I have the following:

-----------------------------
Outgoing Settings

Trunk Name:
PEER Details:

Incoming Settings

USER Context:
USER Details:

Registration
Register String:
-----------------------------

Do I enter the same thing for both outgoing and incoming?

You only need something in the outgoing and registration boxes. You can see what is in my trunk peer in a post above, although Fongo Support has suggested to change qualify to no instead of yes.

Foe the registration string you just need something like this.

Code: Select all

161336XXXXX:PASSWORD@voip2.freephoneline.ca/

Some people put their phone number on the end of that string, but I don't and it works just fine.

What Jake said. My incoming settings USER details box is empty, although I did set the USER context to my freephoneline phone number (1##########). Not sure if this is right, but it works.

Does all this setting still work in 2016?
I can receive call on my asterisk, but each time i try to call an external number i get a voice saying "That password is not valid." then it hangup.

Keep in mind the password is specified in two different places, one for incoming calls and one for outgoing.
