[Asterisk-Users] SIP Registration --Giving up forever after very short network outage.

[Steve Gladden]

I'm looking for some help in how to keep asterisk from doing this.
If we loose Internet or routing to our upstream provider even for only a
few short minutes asterisk quickly gives up & never tries again.
I have to do a manual reload to get it to register with my
sip provider(s) again before incoming calls are accepted.

This is really bad as it causes us to loose the ability to get incoming
calls now & then.
Not at all what we want in a phone system.


How can I get asterisk to stop giving up so soon or better yet not give
up at all... this is after all a phone system... I would really like
it to register back in if the Internet goes down then comes back up 10
minutes later!

I'm running CVS-HEAD (about two weeks old)

Thanks for your help !!!
