[Asterisk-Users] IAX trunk monitoring

[Steve Dolloff]

Creating a separate user and peer does allow me to call over the trunk
using this format:
exten => 8475551212,3,Dial(IAX/voip2/${EXTEN},31,r)
(this must be a bug.  Why would the same format not work for a friend?)

It does not solve my original problem of failing the call if the trunk
is down.  Calls now are always sent to the voip2 iax user regardless of
whether that user is connected.

Also, voip2 was created as a user and voip2peer was created as a peer.
If I use:
exten => 8475551212,3,Dial(IAX/voip2peer/${EXTEN},31,r)
or
exten => 8475551212,3,Dial(IAX/voip1 at voip2peer/${EXTEN},31,r)

the call fails as unavailable regardless of whether or not the other
server is running.

The registry information looks wrong too:

voip1*CLI> iax show registry
Host                  Username    Perceived             Refresh  State
209.242.15.34:5036    voip1peer   <Unregistered>             60  Request
Sent
209.242.15.34:5036    voip1       <Unregistered>             60
Rejected

I have modified the configuration for dynamic host and registered each
server with the other.  The iax show users now lists the other iax
device as registered vs unavailable, but I still don't know how to keep
it from calling if the device becomes unavailable.

I changed the extensions file to:

exten => 8475551212,3,Dial(IAX/voip1 at voip2/${EXTEN},,r)

also tried:

exten => 8475551212,3,Dial(IAX/voip2/${EXTEN},,r)

since voip2 is now a registered user, but it is not trying to call the
other server.

If I leave it as voip1 at voip2.me.net it works as long as the trunk is up
but it doesn't check to make sure before sending the call there.

Any suggestions?

I have an issue where * tries to route a call over IAX to another server
even if the server is down.  I have included the relevant entries from
my iax.conf, extensions.conf, and some debug output.  If someone could
tell me what I have configured incorrectly, I would appreciate it.  

Thanks,

Stephen
