[asterisk-users] Softphones IAX vs. SIP, remote connectivity.
Hey all, A previous annoyance with not being able to call out to my brother on FWD from my Asterisk system had me thinking that since I have my own PBX, and that system has it's own 1-to-1 static NAT to the internet, I should be able to act as the provider for him or any of my family, and have them as local extensions of my PBX, right? So I took my laptop to work (using the X-Lite SIP softphone) and watch my ACL logs on my router for any denies to my Asterisk box. As expected udp/5060, then once that was open, a series of randomish udp/10000+ requests. My phone registered, and I tried to call one of the phones behind a PAP2. Worked first shot, and just as clear and responsive as it was when I was home. But, the phones at home could not call me, they when to voice mail. I had heard that SIP doesn't survive NAT all that well, and that IAX native phones do a better job. My question is, given my description of how I am set up and what I am trying to accomplish, should I be looking at SIP or is IAX a more robust choice? (I was hoping to get video working as well, h.263 I believe it is). Nick -- Nick Ellson CCDA, CCNP, CCSP, CCAI, MCSE 2000, Security+, Network+ Network Hobbyist, VFR Private Pilot.

Nick, Anything helpful in the asterisk or system logs. Try bumping up the debug and verbose levels see what shows up on the console. Weird that it would work inbound and not outbound. Bob...

[asterisk-users] Softphones IAX vs. SIP, remote connectivity.
Hi "Guys" I too am trying to do exactly the same thing in being a provider for family members. My Asterisk server is on a public ip, my home is behind a Watchguard Firebox, my job is also behind a Firebox. I am using a combination of Cisco 7960, Linksys 941 and XTEN Softphone. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. You idea on using a IAX2 softphone appears to be what will solve my problem. Thanks very much.... Post more ideas.

Bruce, I *just* tested the XtremePhone, IAX2 softphone. Other than trying to figure out how to get it to send proper CallerID to the other phones, it worked right off, in both directions. Excellent! Perhaps working the IAX2 angle will be less of a hassle, I will go looking for one that does video now. Maybe it's time to buy an IAX2-ATA adaptor and see how well that works over the net.

Thanks.... but question! In this folder I see: the original Zip file i downloaded - idefisk137.zip addressbook.conf idefisk.conf hostory.txt iaxclient.dll Idefiskmanual.htm idefisk.exe Using Wordpad, I opened addressbook.conf and idefisk.conf but saw no reference to the IP address of my Asterisk server. Where is this info included in the zip file you sent or did you folks have to do the actual config of the softphone?
