[asterisk-users] Firefly IAX2 configuration

[bilal ghayyad]

Dear Gordon;

Thanks a lot for your email.

I need one more tracing tool, how can I know the used
port of the IAX on teh Asterisk and wethor the
listening on that port is successully done (ready to
receive on that port)?

About the firewall, actually the client PC and
Asterisk on the same LAN (my PC is 192.168.8.2 and
Asterisk is 192.168.8.4), the only possible thing is
the firewall on the fedora server (Asterisk server),
but I am not so friendly with fedora to know how can I
check if the firewall on fedora enabled if u can help
me (fedora is like redhat).

Regards
Bilal

Have you checked your firewall? Is it letting UDP data
through to the 
asterisk box on port 4569?

iax2 debug

will generate lots of output for you...

   ps ax | grep asterisk

is crude, but visual.

Asterisk stores it's PID in /var/run/asterisk.pid, so
you could then
 read 
that, and check to see if the process with that PID is
actually running
 
asterisk.

ie. see if /proc/<number> existis, and if-so, see if
it's actually 
asterisk by reading /proc/<number>/cmdline

or just see if you can connect to it with the
rasterisk command ...
