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,
