IAX Remote Access

Experimenting with remote access via IAX

iaxrpt-config.pdf

• Edit /etc/asterisk/iax.conf
  • make new stanza for a named remote user and set an obscure password
  • looks like:

[NEW_USER_NAME]                           
type = user                           
context = iaxrpt    ; Context to jump to in extensions.conf
auth = md5
secret = NEW_TOP_SECRET_PASSWORD
host = dynamic
disallow = all
allow = ulaw
allow = adpcm
allow = gsm
transfer = no

• disable/remove default [iaxrpt] stanza
• Edit /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf
• ensure there's an extension that's pointed to by the context entry in the iax.conf stanza above
  • looks like:

; CONTEXT Pointed to from iax.conf
[iaxrpt]                         
exten => ${NODE},1,rpt(${NODE}|X) 

• Legacy iaxRpt
  • https://hamvoip.org/downloads/setup_iaxrpt_xipar_010146.exe
    • setup_iaxrpt_xipar_010146.zip
• configure like this
  • port is the node's normal iax UDP port, as set up in Allstar Portal and in iax.conf

• also set your callsign as Name and 0 (zero) as Number in Options → Preferences → CallerID

• DVSwitch Mobile app

[USERNAME FOR DVSWITCH] ;;; The stanza is the "Username" from IAXRpt
type=friend
context=android-iaxrpt
host=dynamic
auth=md5
secret=SUPER_SECRET_PASSWORD ;;; The "Password" from IAXRpt
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
transfer=no
calltokenoptional=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
requirecalltoken=no

[android-iaxrpt] ;;; Stanza is the context from iax.conf
exten => 481480,1,Answer ;;; The "Node" from IAXRpt is 1998
exten => 481480,n,Playback,rpt/node
exten => 481480,n,Playback,digits/4
exten => 481480,n,Playback,digits/8
exten => 481480,n,Playback,digits/1
exten => 481480,n,Playback,digits/4
exten => 481480,n,Playback,digits/8
exten => 481480,n,Playback,digits/0
exten => 481480,n,Set(CALLERID(num)=0)
exten => 481480,n,Rpt,481480|P|${CALLERID(name)} ;;; The "CallerID" from IAXRpt
