We have many IAXy devices in the field now. In all cases, in iax.conf, we have "qualify=yes", so that using "iax2 show peers", we can see whether or not the device is currently online. In some cases, the IAXy device and/or Asterisk are not communicating their qualification, because "iax2 show peers" shows the device as status UNKNOWN. However, when a user picks up the telephone plugged into the IAXy, they can place a call just fine within our Asterisk server. Can anyone tell me if there are any conditions which might affect the functioning of the "qualify" feature, while still allowing outbound calls to go through? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It sounds like the message sent by asterisk is not geting through. The IAXy would still know how to call out, but can they be called? If UNKNOWN, I assume not.
Thanks, In these cases, the IAXy cannot be called by another extension. Yes they are behind a firewall router, but in two cases, just a cheapie Linksys WRT54G (or similar Linksys). I also use a WRT54G and do not have this problem with my IAXy.

I guess the iaxy is loosely based on libiax2, and may not implement this. -SteveK
