asterisk users - Jun 2004 - host=dynamic vs host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Hi all,

This is probably a really stupid question so I apologise in advance; I've
been looking at this all day and after 12hours I've got nowhere fast.

The situation is:
I've got a couple of 7960's on wireless adapters, the wireless network
can
be, shall we say, a little flakey.  The phones that are wired into the
network directly via ethernet are always registered and work hunky-dorey the
phones on the wireless adapters "go missing" from time to time.  When
I
check their status using "sip show peers" the IP addresses are
(Unspecified)
on the wireless phones.  

So I got it into my head that it might be an idea to set the IP's on those
phones as static (that way * will always know where to send the call
right??)  Well that seemed to work but now I'm getting this message:

	NOTICE[-1147675728]: Peer '004' is trying to register, but not
configured as host=dynamic

from all the phones I've set as host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

I'm now at the point of having no hair left - that which hasn't fallen
out
due to the stress of the confusion has been pulled out in frustration.  I'm
sure I've missed something really blindingly obvious but if some kind soul
could shed the light on this I would really appriciate it.

Thanks

Matt

The explanation is simply: "Registration" only makes sense for 
host=dynamic settings. The only purpose of registering is to tell the 
server at which IP the phone can be found. So just stop the phone from 
registering (or look at defaultip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx instead of 
host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

How much clearer do you need to be? Asterisk is telling you exactly what 
the problem is. Have you tried simply doing host=dynamic into your iax.conf?

If you still want IP based access control you can use permit and deny 
directives.

It sounds like * is letting you know that it got a registration attempt
where none was expected.. Have you tried to configure the phone to not
register to *? I'm not familiar with your phone, and that may or may not
even be possible.

Failing that, maybe you could set the phone to register more frequently
and set * to use a longer expiration time on that peer. If the expiration
time were 2-3 times longer than the re-register time, then multiple
register attempts could be lost without losing connectivity.

It seems you misunderstood my question.  I was talking about SIP not IAX.  It
wasn't about access control - it was about having a problem with phones on a
poor connection that is prone to occasional packet loss or disconnection.

Interpreting an error message is easy finding, as you so rightly point out
"asterisk is telling you exactly what the problem is".  The solution
however wasn't clear hence my reason for posting. Finding a solution on
software you're not particularly familiar with and in a configuration you
don't have 100% confidence in isn't as simple as reading an error
message; hence my posting.
