Read what it says. Peer '1001' is defined as a fixed IP address,
not dynamic. So it is not allowed to register.

The host= setting defines how we're going to contact the peer when
we want to deliver a call to the phone.

host=dynamic
-> Make the device register with asterisk so we know the current IP address
host=<ip address>
-> No registration, we already know the IP address and the address doesn't
change.

For mobile devices, like soft phones on a laptop, use registration.
