[arm-allstar] Trouble with iaxrpt

[Doug Crompton]

Paul,

I am not sure why 'user' would not work since this is strictly and incoming
call but if 'friend' works then go with it. It is a little confusing at
times but I suspect it is an authorization problem. Here is a definition of
the type's -

     type = [user|peer|friend]: This line tells Asterisk how to interpret
this entity. Users are things
that connect to us, while peers are people we connect to, and a friend is
shorthand for creating a user and a peer with identical information.

The case of incoming calls from the peer, the IP address must match in
order for the invitation to work. This means calls made from either
direction won't work if the peer is unregistered while host=dynamic or if
the host is otherwise not set to the correct IP of the sender.

For entities with 'type=user': Asterisk users handle inbound calls only
(meaning they call Asterisk, Asterisk can't ; call them) and are matched by
their authorization information (authname and secret). Asterisk doesn't
rely on their IP and will accept calls regardless of the host setting as
long as the incoming invite authorizes successfully.

For entities with 'type=friend': Asterisk will create the entity as both a
friend and a peer. Asterisk will accept calls from friends like it would
for users, requiring only that the authorization matches rather than the IP
address. Since it is also a peer, a friend entity can be called as long as
its IP is known to Asterisk. In the case of host=dynamic, this means it is
necessary for the entity to register before Asterisk can call it.
