[asterisk-users] Can't make asterisk work...how to test?

[D. Dante Lorenso]

All,

I've put a new asterisk server at another location and can't seem to get 
it working.  What's the best strategy to debug connections?

I'm doing inbound SIP only and have installed the server in the same way 
as I did on my DEV server.  Running an nmap on localhost shows the port 
listening:

----------
[asterisk]/> nmap -sU localhost

Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2008-06-19 21:12 CDT
Interesting ports on localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1):
Not shown: 1476 closed ports
PORT      STATE         SERVICE
...
5060/udp  open|filtered sip
...
----------
[planet]/etc/asterisk> nmap -sU localhost

Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2008-06-19 20:11 CDT
Interesting ports on localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1):
Not shown: 1484 closed ports
PORT     STATE         SERVICE
...
5060/udp open|filtered sip
...
----------

Is there a command-line tool I can run that will attempt a SIP 
connection to a SIP server and provide some diagnostics about whether it 
could authenticate or even connect?
