[asterisk-users] Problems with inbound connection and registering phone

[Steve Matzura]

I have two problems. The first is that when I dial my number from a 
phone on the Internet or any phone outside my LAN, Asterisk does not 
respond in any way, which means somehow my system is not picking up the 
fact that there's an incoming call to it.


The second problem is that I thought I'd try an internal phone to see if 
I could get the hello-world stuff working at the least. I thought I'd 
try Zoiper, but none of the download buttons at 
https://www.zoiper.com/en/voip-softphone/download/current did anything 
when clicked, so I set up a spare line on a Yealink TA33 phone that is 
connected to another much much older Asterisk implementation running a 
piece of amateur radio gear called Allstar. The version of Asterisk used 
in the Allstar project is ancient--like 1.4 or 1.6--and the 
configuration syntax and options are quite different, so I didn't get 
lulled into thinking I'd just clone that configuration on my newer 
Asterisk implementation.


The "Definitive Guide" shows everything about adding phones as SQL 
statements, so I made some educated guesses as to what to put into 
pjsip.conf. Something's obviously wrong because the phone won't 
authenticate (see below).


Here's how I set it up in pjsip.


[yealink]
transport=udp
type=auth
auth_type=userpass
username=Steve
password=Steve

[yealink]
type = endpoint
transport = transport-udp
context = phones
disallow = all
allow = ulaw
; allow=g729                 ; uncomment if you support g729
auth = yealink
aors = yealink


Here's how I set it up in extensions:


[phones]
exten => 101,1,Dial(PJSIP/yealink)

Here's the error I get on the Asterisk console:


[May 23 13:42:56] NOTICE[45189]: res_pjsip/pjsip_distributor.c:676 
log_failed_request: Request 'REGISTER' from '"Steve"

0_1554187534 at 192.168.1.228) - Failed to authenticate


What did I omit?
