CVS of Asterisk and with one X100P card (2 channels), a budget tone 102 and
Xlite softphone.

Due to various SIP errors, where I am unable to authenticate, I decided to
blank out all configuration relating to any SIP phones.

Channel 'Zap/1-1' sent into invalid extension 's' in context
'default', but
no invalid handler

Honestly I don't know how much more clear this message can be.

You need an exten => s,1,something in your [default] context.

In english,

---Starting simple switch on 'Zap/1-1'

means, 'Hey!  The phone line you have plugged into the first X100P card is 
ringing!  I'm going to answer it!'


Channel 'Zap/1-1' sent into invalid extension 's' in context
'default', but
no invalid handler

means, 'I answered the line and in zapata.conf you told me to go to context 
'default' to start handling a call on this line.  So I went to context 
'default' in extensions.conf and since I have no signalling to tell me
what
number was dialed, I'm going to look for extension 's' (which I look
for
when the number dialed is a null string), but I couldn't find extension
's'
in context default, so I started looking for extension 'i' because thats
what I do when I can't find the context/enten I'm looking for (i stands
for
invalid, and I will alwasy look for extension i when I can't find a 
matching extension for the call), but alas, extension I wasn't there either.

At this point I would normally be creative and try very hard to figure out 
what you really wanted me to do versus what you told me to do, but alas, 
unfortunately 99.95% of the programming world thinks such behavior is a bug 
and not a feature, so I am prevented from reading your mind and must follow 
my rules, so I am allowed to spit out an error message, which of course I did.

------  Hope that helps you understand the error messages you were seeing.

What you need to do is create an context/extension in your extensions.conf 
file like such

[default]

exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/<your-sip-info-here>,20,t)    ; see the wiki for
what
the 20 and t means (or do 'show application dial' from the cli)

exten => i,1,Playback(invalid)
exten => i,2,Hangup



this should at least get you past the errors, the above entries aren't 
something you want to leave that way, because they don't handle all the 
possibilities you might run into (like not answering your phone if it rings 
for more than 20 seconds)
