[Asterisk-Users] Dazed and confused on refresh

[Jeffrey Starin]

Hello, All.

Been working successfully with Asterisk for a while now and have no 
complaints.  However, I cannot seem to find any information on how to 
control the "Refresh" time period. 

I fiddle with the maxexpirey and defaultexpirey values in the general 
section of sip.conf but when I do a CLI > sip show registry the value 
posted here are not in agreement with the values I entered into my sip.conf

This is rather frustrating because I believe that is why my broadvoice 
connection keeps getting dropped.  The refresh rates for my other 
providers -- FWD, Teliax, Voipuser.org and MyTcom.it -- all have refresh 
values of 45 and never lose their connection, but the Broadvoice 
connection is always showing up being greater than 3500 and then 
arbitarily it drops down to 45 sometimes.

Any one have an insight for me that might help?

Thanks,

B..
