[Asterisk-Users] Funny thing with LinkSys / IAX2

[Andrew Edmond]

Steve,
 
I just went through the stock iax.conf, the wiki and google and I don't
see how to set a registration interval in iax.conf.
 
Thanks!
 
Andrew

*Community,
 
I am a new VoicePulse customer, using their EXCELLENT
connect.voicepulse.com services.  
 
I have asterisk CVS head 10/20/04 running quite successfully, with 10
SIP phones, voicemail, and 2 zaptel lines.  The box is running Gentoo
Linux, and is running on an Internet connection which is a ComCast cable
modem, with a LinkSys BEFSR41 router running the LAN.
 
I have IAX2 configured in IAX.conf registering my IAX2 line with their
gateway.  My toll outgoing calls are routed through their IAX2 gateway
(my local calls go out through my Zap lines).
 
However, I'm constantly having to "restart now" on the CLI (about every
ten-thirty minutes) to keep my connection to VoicePulse online (incoming
AND outgoing calls).  I have port forwarding on for ports 5060 and 4569
to my asterisk box.

I don't know if you need qualify, if you're already doing register.  But
you should probably set your registration interval to be pretty low,
because linksys routers time out NAT tables very quickly.

I know that they time out valid, but idle TCP connections after about 15
minutes or so.  

(I'd set the registration interval to just a few minutes).
