IAX2 is a VoIP protocol for connecting IP phones and IP PBXs together (or iPBXs to other iPBXs).  It is Asterisk-specific.  IAX2 has the excellent quality of functioning on a specific UDP port (4569) and being easy to get through firewalls...even via port forwarding.

We use phones with IAX2 support for remote extensions when the iPBX is not Internet-attached.  It's just plain easier than fighting with SIP and NAT...the right tool for the job.

===== Troubleshooting =====

==== Enable IAX2 Debugging ====

At the Asterisk console:

<file>
asterisk -vvvvvvvvvvvr

iax2 set debug on
</file>

==== CallToken Support ====

If you see an error something like:

<file>
Rx-Frame Retry[ No] -- OSeqno: 000 ISeqno: 000 Type: IAX Subclass: REGREQ
Timestamp: 00003ms SCall: 00380 DCall: 00000 [192.168.20.116:4569]
USERNAME : 5556
REFRESH : 60 

Rx-Frame Retry[ No] -- OSeqno: 001 ISeqno: 001 Type: IAX Subclass: ACK
Timestamp: 00003ms SCall: 00380 DCall: 00001 [192.168.20.116:4569]
</file>
or:

<file>
[Dec  4 14:13:01] ERROR[11674]: chan_iax2.c:4909 handle_call_token: Call rejected, CallToken Support required. If unexpected, resolve by placing address 72.200.111.140 in the calltokenoptional list or setting user 201 requirecalltoken=no
</file>

Try adjusting the IAX2 extension definition:

<file>
requirecalltoken=auto
</file>

It is 'yes' by default enabling the new DoS protection feature.

This worked for [[voice:pbx:citel_c-4110|Citel C-4110]] IAX phone.

You can globally limit/disable the new feature like this:

For FreePBX, install IAX Settings module, then add to ''Other IAX Settings'':

<file>
calltokenoptional = 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
maxcallnumbers = 16382
</file>

(or modify /etc/asterisk/iax_general_custom.conf)

You can limit the effect by using a more limited network definition such
as:

<file>
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
</file>

==== Thirdlane ====
