[Asterisk-Users] iaxclients missing calls

[Patrick Cantwell]

Just a thought:  Out of everyone having problems, how many are connecting
through NAT to their asterisk server? (client -> nat -> ... -> asterisk).

NAT firewalls time ports out after a certain amount of inactivity.  I was
having the same problem with my SIP analog adapter.  I could fire it up and
receive calls, but after a little while, it could no longer receive calls
(yet asterisk would show them coming in).  If I made a call out from the
analog phone, I could again receive calls for a short while.  Then it
occurred to me that I probably didn't change my firewall rules after
renumbering my asterisk box and it was a NAT issue.

If anybody having this problem is running behind some sort of NAT device,
try making your registration time rediculously low, such as 60s and see if
it has an effect. (or try changing your rules, if possible)

Just my .02 =)

Hi, AJ.

It sounds like this is related to the other incoming ring issue.  I'll check
through the archives to verify, but I think a couple of other users were
seeing
this even soon after launching iaxComm or DIAX.

I'm wondering if the iaxclient lib might be having a problem with
registration
renewal, or if it's a problem with event dispatching.

Any other users seen this yet? (That is, seen incoming ring failures become
more
likely as uptime increases).

The next time you get an ignored incoming call, could you try doing an iax2
debug on the cli?

Do you see the same problem with DIAX when using IAX instead of IAX2?
