Further info and clarification I am using the Xipar Asterisk release. If I loose WAN network connection, I loose my iax registration which is what I would expect. Note, this loss usually is a result of a cable modem resetting, or some other issues with the cable company and it does not happen frequently. This reset does not result in a new IP address being assigned. I noticed that the State toggles between Timeout and Request Sent, but never will get re-registered until I stop and start asterisk (amportal stop/start). My questions is, Is this normal behavior? should I need to restart asterisk? I am using the following script in cron to check the status and reboot if necessary: #!/bin/bash # # IAX Registration Check, Nofity if offline. # if offline, then allstar will be unavailable # check iax2 registration: IAX_REG=`asterisk -r -x "iax2 show registry" | awk '{ print $6 }' | grep -v State` IAX_REG1=`echo $IAX_REG | awk '{ print $1 }'` IAX_REG2=`echo $IAX_REG | awk '{ print $2 }'` if [ "$IAX_REG1" != "Registered" ] || [ "$IAX_REG2" != "Registered" ]; then echo "Not Registered, take action..." amportal stop sleep 120 service portreserve restart amportal start else echo " All is good..." fi This will get iax to register, but I would think there is some thing wrong with asterisk not being able to re-register without a restart/reboot. Or is this normal behavior? Thanks, 73, Chris w0anm
