Registering Asterisk Server with VU.org

Hello,

I don't know if this is the right forum but here goes.

All I'm trying to do is connect an AsteriskNOW server to the voipuser.org inbound/outbound services, so that I can have a bit more control over various aspects, including 'internal' calls through voip, and also as a learning exercise. So far I have asterisk set up and running, and I have been trying to troubleshoot my sip.conf from various other threads on the forum to no avail. Among others, the main error message is that asterisk has the wrong password when trying to REGISTER with voipuser. I started with the default sip.conf but every post I read seemed to have a fraction of that file, so I backed it up, deleted it and started again with the file below. So what I have posted is literally all that is in my sip.conf, which may be completely insane but hey, thats what I thought.

Anyone have any ideas at all?

Thanks.

sip.conf (with privacy obscurity - myusernamehere is my real username etc.)

[voipuser]
type=peer
username=myusernamehere
secret=mypasswordhere
host=83.143.18.16
fromuser=myusernamehere
fromdomain=sip.voipuser.org
nat=yes
canreinvite=no
insecure=very
qualify=yes
allow=all

register => myusernamehere:mypasswordhere@sip.voipuser.org/4484933xxx

You'll probably need the general section of sip.conf, though the register looks correct. Try removing the /4484933xxx. Failing that, others should be able to assist you as it's voipuser specific.

My register statements are in the general section, but I'm not sure that matters

regards

I have moved the register statement, as suggested, and appended the following underneath the stuff i already posted. Also, I've seen one of the admins here posting the /44849... on the register statement as being correct. Not sure though.

Thanks for the suggestion anyways

[general]

register statement is in here, as above

context=default ; Default context for incoming calls
;allowguest=no ; Allow or reject guest calls (default is yes)
allowoverlap=no ; Disable overlap dialing support. (Default is yes)
;allowtransfer=no ; Disable all transfers (unless enabled in peers or users)
; Default is enabled
;realm=mydomain.tld ; Realm for digest authentication
; defaults to "asterisk". If you set a system name in
; asterisk.conf, it defaults to that system name
; Realms MUST be globally unique according to RFC 3261
; Set this to your host name or domain name
bindport=5060 ; UDP Port to bind to (SIP standard port is 5060)
; bindport is the local UDP port that Asterisk will listen on
bindaddr=0.0.0.0 ; IP address to bind to (0.0.0.0 binds to all)
srvlookup=yes ; Enable DNS SRV lookups on outbound calls
; Note: Asterisk only uses the first host
; in SRV records
; Disabling DNS SRV lookups disables the
; ability to place SIP calls based on domain
; names to some other SIP users on the Internet
;domain=mydomain.tld ; Set default domain for this host
; If configured, Asterisk will only allow
; INVITE and REFER to non-local domains

;pedantic=yes ; Enable checking of tags in headers,
; international character conversions in URIs
; and multiline formatted headers for strict
; SIP compatibility (defaults to "no")

; See doc/README.tos for a description of these parameters.
;tos_sip=cs3 ; Sets TOS for SIP packets.
;tos_audio=ef ; Sets TOS for RTP audio packets.
;tos_video=af41 ; Sets TOS for RTP video packets.

;maxexpiry=3600 ; Maximum allowed time of incoming registrations
; and subscriptions (seconds)
;minexpiry=60 ; Minimum length of registrations/subscriptions (default 60)
;defaultexpiry=120 ; Default length of incoming/outgoing registration
;t1min=100 ; Minimum roundtrip time for messages to monitored hosts
; Defaults to 100 ms
;notifymimetype=text/plain ; Allow overriding of mime type in MWI NOTIFY
;checkmwi=10 ; Default time between mailbox checks for peers
;buggymwi=no ; Cisco SIP firmware doesn't support the MWI RFC
; fully. Enable this option to not get error messages
; when sending MWI to phones with this bug.

;vmexten=voicemail ; dialplan extension to reach mailbox sets the
; Message-Account in the MWI notify message
; defaults to "asterisk"
;disallow=all ; First disallow all codecs
;allow=ulaw ; Allow codecs in order of preference
;allow=ilbc ; see doc/rtp-packetization for framing options
;
; This option specifies a preference for which music on hold class this channel
; should listen to when put on hold if the music class has not been set on the
; channel with Set(CHANNEL(musicclass)=whatever) in the dialplan, and the peer
; channel putting this one on hold did not suggest a music class.
;
; This option may be specified globally, or on a per-user or per-peer basis.
;
;mohinterpret=default
;
; This option specifies which music on hold class to suggest to the peer channel
; when this channel places the peer on hold. It may be specified globally or on

; Valid values: yes, no, never Default: never
;useragent=Asterisk PBX ; Allows you to change the user agent string
;promiscredir = no ; If yes, allows 302 or REDIR to non-local SIP address
; Note that promiscredir when redirects are made to the

; of performing a "hairpin" call.
;usereqphone = no ; If yes, ";user=phone" is added to uri that contains
; a valid phone number
;dtmfmode = rfc2833 ; Set default dtmfmode for sending DTMF. Default: rfc2833

; auto : Use rfc2833 if offered, inband otherwise
;compactheaders = yes ; send compact sip headers.
;
;videosupport=yes ; Turn on support for SIP video. You need to turn this on
; in the this section to get any video support at all.
; You can turn it off on a per peer basis if the general
; video support is enabled, but you can't enable it for
; one peer only without enabling in the general section.
;maxcallbitrate=384 ; Maximum bitrate for video calls (default 384 kb/s)

;g726nonstandard = yes ; If the peer negotiates G726-32 audio, use AAL2 packing
; order instead of RFC3551 packing order (this is required
; for Sipura and Grandstream ATAs, among others). This is
; contrary to the RFC3551 specification, the peer _should_
; be negotiating AAL2-G726-32 instead


;matchexterniplocally = yes ; Only substitute the externip or externhost setting if it matches
; your localnet setting. Unless you have some sort of strange network
; setup you will not need to enable this.

; If regcontext is specified, Asterisk will dynamically create and destroy a
; NoOp priority 1 extension for a given peer who registers or unregisters with
; us and have a "regexten=" configuration item.
; Multiple contexts may be specified by separating them with '&'. The
; actual extension is the 'regexten' parameter of the registering peer or its
; name if 'regexten' is not provided. If more than one context is provided,
; the context must be specified within regexten by appending the desired
; context after '@'. More than one regexten may be supplied if they are
; separated by '&'. Patterns may be used in regexten.
