You didn't read all the messages, see:

chan_iax2 says you have no section in your iax.conf telling it what
3479450772 is, *therefore* it couldn't create the channel.

Always read *all* the messages, especially the first few since they may
indicate something that may cause a failure later.

FWIW, you probably wanted IAX2/target/3479450772.

Hope this helps,
