[asterisk-users] using SIP to connect remote other VoIP server(Attn:Elpidio)

[Elpidio Ramos]

I just went thru the same problem days ago and it all ended being problems with the firewall.
   
  Even if the application is listening in a given port, that doesn't mean the port is open in the firewall.
   
  try thise to see if the firewall is letting the traffic thru an specific port:
   
  iptables -L
   
  You should see something like:
  
ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             anywhere            state NEW udp dpt:sip 
   
  or
   
  ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             anywhere            state NEW udp dpt:5060
   
  The same applies to the iax2 port or the rtp port.
  You can use the iptables to open new ports or use the graphical tool in the gnome graphical environment to configure the firewall.
   
  Make sure you reboot the machine after your changes are made. It is the best way to ensure the new configuration takes place.
   
  /etc/init.d/iptables stop
  /etc/init.d/iptables start 
   
  those commans help you stop or start the firewall.

The quickest way to determine whether an application is listening on a 
port is to simply do a 'netstat -an' from the linux command line. You 
should see something like this:
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5060 0.0.0.0:*

If you don't see that, then asterisk is not opening the port.

>From an asterisk command line, do 'show modules like sip' and you 
should see something like this:
Module Description 
Use Count
chan_sip.so Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) 0

If you don't see that, then asterisk is not loading the chan_sip.so 
module for some reason.

Look in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf and make sure there is NOT an entry 
in that file that looks something like this:
noload => chan_sip.so

If that entry is not there, then you either have a problem with the 
configuration of the file /etc/asterisk/sip.conf, or, some other problem 
that is causing asterisk to not load chan_sip.so.

If you are sure the sip.conf is absolutely correct and error free, then 
stop asterisk, and start it from the linux command line with 'asterisk 
-c'. There should be some indication why chan_sip.so is not be loaded, etc.
