asterisk users - Nov 2003 - IAX2 trunking on one side only.

Hello,

I have searched google, read everything on the mailing list, read
/usr/src/asterisk/README.iax and /usr/src/asterisk/doc/iax.txt(?), asked on
the IRC channel and I cannot figure out what is wrong with my IAX2 trunk.

Only asterisk2 of an <ASTERISK1>--LAN--<ASTERISK2>--PSTN will use
IAX2
trunking. If I do an "iax2 show trunk" on asterisk1 it says 0 calls on
trunk
to asterisk 2 (show channels does show the calls). If I do "iax2 show
trunk"
on asterisk2 it says 7 calls on trunk to asterisk1. I am using GSM and when
I look at the traffic using iptraf with 7 calls active from asterisk1
(analog phones TDM400P) to ASTERISK2 Milliwatt() I see asterisk1 transmiting
at a little more than 30k above what asterisk2 is transmitting. I have tried
peer/friend, notransfer(?),registration/no registration and nothing about
the trunking issue changes. Here is my config, some please tell me what I am
doing wrong.

<ASTERISK1>

iax.conf
[anistone]
type=peer (friend/peer)
host=172.16.1.5 (with and without this statement)
secret=test2
context=local2 (with and without this statement)
trunk=yes

extensions.conf
exten => 61,1,Dial(IAX2/gateway:test@172.16.1.5/60@anistone)



<ASTERISK2>

iax.conf
[gateway] (I have tried it with this also named anistone)
type=peer (friend/peer)
host=172.16.1.232 (I have tried it with and without this statement)
secret=test
context=anistone (with and without this statement)
trunk=yes

extensions.conf
exten => 60,1,Milliwatt()

Do you have a zaptel device on each side? AFAIR zaptel timing is
required for trunking to work.

We have to rename "Zaptel timing" to "Asterisk timer", which
is more correct
since there are several ways of getting a timer to work, only one of them
is by using Zaptel cards.

Actually it needs to be zapata timing. The other drivers just make a
zapata compatible timing source that asterisk can use.

Is the zapata timer superior to the ztdummy and ztrtc drivers, or are
they, from an Asterisk point of view, compatible?

I sent this yesterday, but for some reawson it did not go through.

Yes,

ASTERISK1 = 2x TDM400P
ASTERISK2 = 3x X100P

I still cannot get it working past that. Is there something screwey with the
wcfxs drivers and Linux?
