asterisk users - Jul 2004 - IAX2 to IAX2...i'm obviously an idiot!!

Hi All

I'm trying to get two Asterisk servers to talk to each other using IAX(2).

I've read the WiKi and the docs and tried the examples.....

I can't get it to work (I have 2 x 7960's registering on one server and
1 x 7960 registering on the other).

I've set them up as follows...

The two servers are set up as friends and have consecutive IP address's.

The setup is that the prefix 3 determines that the server dials the extension
number on the other servers local context:-

extensions.conf

exten =>
_3XXXX,1,Dial(IAX2/OtherServer:Password@OtherServerIP:5036/${EXTEN:1}@local)

When I do a dial say 32221 this is what comes up in the console:-

Executing GoTo("SIP/2231-xxxx", "intern-post|32221|1") in
new stack

GoTo (intern-post,32221,1)

Executing Dial("SIP/2231-xxxx",
"IAX2/OtherServer:Password@OtherServerIP:5036/2221@local") in new
stack

Called OtherServer:Password@OtherServerIP:5036/2221@local

Warning: chan_iax2.c:1413 attempt_transmit: Max retries exceeded to host
OtherServerIP on IAX2/OtherServerIP:5036/3 (type = 6, subclass = 1, ts=2,
seqno=0)

Hungup 'IAX2/OtherServerIP:5036/3'

then the regular cleanup commands

In "IAX2 Show Peers" I get:-

OtherServer    OtherServerIP    (S)  255.255.255.255   4569    UnMonitored

I'm confused

why is the connection showing on port 4569 in show peers?  Is this a default?

Is there a way to test the validity of the IAX2 connection from the console?

Thanks in advance.

The correct port is 4569 for iax2 - the older protocol was 5036

Here is the iax.conf for both mine:

[pbx]
type=user
secret=test
trunk=yes
host=dynamic
qualify=yes
username=pbx

extensions.conf:

; iax princeton bridge
exten => _2XX,1,Dial IAX2/pbx:test@192.168.2.2/${EXTEN}

Works for me!

5036 is not IAX2.  That's abundantly clear in the wiki and the 
examples.  4569 is the port you are looking for.
