asterisk users - Nov 2004 - chan-sccp problem, phone is not registering

Hi list!

I'm trying to configure the Kirk IP 600 wireless (DECT) system. The 
wireless phones are regular DECT phones, the Kirk IP 600 is doing the voip 
part by registering/gatewaying the phones to a callmanager server.

The phones do not work and I think the problem is that they do not 
register at asterisk but I'm not sure because I don't understand a thing
of the sccp/skinny protocol. The manual of the IP600 describes the setup 
with call manager and claims compatibility with the Cisco 7940 phone:
http://www.kirktelecom.com/KIRK%20System%20600%20IP%20Users%20Guide%201.2.pdf

The manual states that 'the wireless system supports automatic 
registration' in the paragraph about registration of the users on the 
callmanager.

Here's my setup:

First I disabled skinny by putting noload=chan_skinny.so in 
/etc/asterisk/modules.conf

I switched from using skinny to chan_sccp from:
http://chan-sccp.sourceforge.net/

here's my sccp.conf file:
[general]
keepalive = 5
context = default
dateFormat = D-M-Y
bindaddr = 10.10.0.1
port = 2000

[SEP000770735049]
description = Z4040
type        = 7940
context     = intern
autologin   = 105

[105]
id          = 105
label       = Z4040
callwaiting = 0
mailbox     = 199
callerid    = 105

In extensions.conf:
exten => 105,1,Dial(SCCP/105,30,tr)
exten => 105,2,Playback(invalid)
exten => 105,3,Hangup
exten => 105,102,Voicemail(199)
exten => 105,103,Hangup

At startup asterisk shows in the log :
Nov 17 20:02:13 NOTICE[16384]: SCCP channel driver up and running on 
10.10.0.1:2000
Nov 17 20:02:13 NOTICE[16384]: SCCP listening on 10.10.0.1:2000

Which hopefully means that SCCP is working

There are no messages in the log other than:
Nov 17 20:10:20 NOTICE[229390]: Alarm Message: Severity: 2, 
Name=SEP000770735049 [0/1711278602]
Nov 17 20:10:20 WARNING[229390]: Client sent IpPortMessage without first 
registering.


Is this an error in my asterisk config or is there something wrong with my 
config on the Kirk IP600??

Any help / input greatly appreciated.

I am running Gentoo and have installed Asterisk 1.0.2 from the ebuild (not 
using the CVS version). I installed the chan_sccp from the latest 
available cvs version on the sourceforge page and the sccp.conf it 
installed says:
;[richard]
;id          = 1002
;pin         = 1234

What would be the correct (new) syntax for id = ? I will change it just to 
be sure

The system has 2 IP's but the IP 600 is on the local subnet (it 
has IP 10.10.0.102)

Yes, in fact I am using it with SIP phones for some time already, I just 
wanted to add the Kirk IP 600 to the system.

Which of sccp package are you working on? I'm a bit lost with the 
different versions of sccp/skinny.
There's ZoZo's version : http://zozo.org.uk/content/sccp
Jan Czmok's version    : http://chan-sccp.sourceforge.net/
Skinny as built-in in Asterisk

And I couldn't find any page that describes the differences 
between the various packages/forks. I tried Jan Czmok's version because 
his page states that 80% of the Cisco 7940 phone's features are supported 
and the IP 600 seems to behave as a 7940's.

Thanks!!

Hi list!

I get the idea that I am missing something basic. My Cisco 7940 seems to 
be auto registering fine when I use built-in skinny that comes with * but 
when I use chan_sccp I only get errors that the phone is sending packes 
with registering first.

Firstly about installing chan_sccp. I installed asterisk through the gentoo 
ebuild for it, that's working fine.

To compile chan_sccp I downloaded the asterisk 1.0.2 source and unpacked 
it in /tmp as a result I now have a dir /tmp-asterisk-1.0.2
This is only the root of the sources, there are no binaries there since I 
didn't use the tarball to install asterisk and also I did not run any 
./configure Make or whatever script/

Then I download chan_sccp and untar it so I have /tmp/chan_sccp now.

I edited the Makefile to show: ASTERISK_SOURCE=/tmp/asterisk-1.0.2

The output of make & make install:
chan_sccp # make
Now compiling .... chan_sccp.c          709 lines
Now compiling .... sccp_actions.c       743 lines
Now compiling .... sccp_channel.c       279 lines
Now compiling .... sccp_device.c        642 lines
Now compiling .... sccp_line.c          61 lines
Now compiling .... sccp_helper.c        70 lines
Now compiling .... sccp_pbx.c           574 lines
Now compiling .... sccp_cli.c           375 lines
Now compiling .... sccp_softkeys.c      225 lines
Now compiling .... sccp_sched.c         75 lines
Now compiling .... sccp_socket.c        315 lines
Linking chan_sccp.so

chan_sccp # make install
Now Installing chan_sccp.so
Chan_sccp is now installed
Remember to disable chan_skinny by adding the following
line to /etc/asterisk/modules.conf:
noload => chan_skinny.so

Is the output of compile correct? How can I verify the compile went ok?

Is there any way I could debug or log all the communication between the 
phone and chan_sccp (all the communication back and forth to see why the 
phone is not registering?

I already checked my config file, I think they are correct and I did 
specify no load in modules for the appropriate modules (skinny/chan_sccp):

this is my skinny.conf:
[general]
port = 2000             ; Port to bind to, default tcp/2000
bindaddr = 10.10.0.1    ; Address to bind to
dateFormat = M-D-Y      ; M,D,Y in any order (5 chars max)
keepAlive = 120

[z4040]
device=SEP000000000000 (number anonimized)
nat=0
callerid="z4040" <105>
callwaiting=0
mailbox=199
;transfer=1
context=intern
linelabel="Line 1"
line => 105
callerid="z4040" <105>
context=intern


this is my sccp.conf:
[general]
keepalive = 5
context = default
dateFormat = D-M-Y
bindaddr = 10.10.0.1
port = 2000

[SEP000000000000]
description = Z4040
type        = 7940
context     = intern
autologin   = remco

[remco]
id          = 105
label       = Remco
callwaiting = 0
mailbox     = 199
callerid    = "Remco", <105>


Thanks!!

Afraid not (yet). I contacted the maintainer of chan_sccp (Jan Czmok) and 
I sent him 2 tcpdump files one with the skinny and succesfull registration 
and the other with chan_sccp.

This was just before x-mas though and I haven't received a reply yet, 
probably due to the holidays.

The IP600 will register when using skinny that is built-in in asterisk and 
you can place outgoing calls. Incoming calls is a different story however. 
It will not work because the Kirk IP600 is waiting for a signal 
(STATION_CALLINFO) and it will refise to pass the call to the handset if 
this is missing.

You can see the call coming in but it just times out on the ip600 waiting 
for STATION_CALLINFO. The IP600 emulate a Cisco 7940 phone and it seems 
that the original Cisco does ring without this STATION_CALLINFO.

Kirk support replied to me that they may consider changing this behaviour 
if there is demand from the market from it. Please contact Kirk support 
too with this request from your end too. Please also contact the company 
you bought the IP600 from requesting the same.

I now have a pile of (very expensive) useless equipment.

The ip600 does seem to work in H323 mode but you cannot transfer calls. 
(And looking through the wiki you have to do 100,000 things to set-up 
H323, the worst being the gatekeeper installation it seems.)

If you have any luck getting it to work with chan_sccp please let me know.

Pozdrav iz Amsterdam!
