[Asterisk-Users] Accepting Inbound SIP Connections

[Tony Davidson]

Suggest checking your extensions.conf file under [from-sip-external].


By default it often has:

;give external sip users congestion and hangup

exten => _.,1,AbsoluteTimeout(15)

exten => _.,2,Congestion

exten => _.,3,Hangup


The above lines should be commented out and the following added:

include => from-pstn


Hope that helps.
