[Asterisk-Users] IAX2 using non standard port

[Walker Haddock]

Thanks Mr. Tilghman!  Here's a summary incase anyone else is looking for the way to do this:

Problem:  Need to use non standard port for IAX2 server listening behind a firewall.

In this case, we were required to use UDP port 80 to listen on.

Solution:

edit iax2.h file and change line 73 as follows:
#define IAX_DEFAULT_PORTNO              80    /* 4569 */

in /usr/src/asterisk

make clean ; make install

in iax.conf, in the register record, append the port number of the peer:
register => user:password at iax.server.com:4569
