[asterisk-users] Connecting Asterisk to a Metaswitch

[Watkins, Bradley]

I recently got this going, and had a similar experience.  In my case,
the solution was to set the RPID to the expected number assigned to the
account.  YMMV, but it's worth a try.

Regards,

Subject: [asterisk-users] Connecting Asterisk to a Metaswitch

I am having a difficult time connecting an Asterisk box to a Metaswitch.
I looked at the page at
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+How+to+connect+to+Metaswitch
but was not able to make much progress.  If someone could direct in what
direction to start troubleshooting this problem I would be very
appreciative.

When I try to dial out now.  I just get dead air (no ring, no dial tone,
or recording).  I can dial between phones that are connected to the
asterisk box with no problem.

Asterisk version 1.2.9.1

In the following files, I changed the phone numbers/extensions and ip
address.
