It seems no matter what I try I get the a SIP registration error 401 followed by a 403 error in the log on the server. I have double checked usernames and passwords etc. does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

I have a few E70 and a E51 working fine with identical settings.

x.x.x.x is the ip address of the asterisk server to register to.
user is the username and extension
password is the password.


service profile - ietf
public user name - sip:user@x.x.x.x
compression - No
Registration - always on
Use security - no

Proxy Server
-------------
proxy server address - sip:x.x.x.x
realm - asterisk
user name - user
password - password
allow loose routing - yes
transport type - udp
port - 5060

registrar server
----------------
registrat server address - sip:x.x.x.x
realm - none
user name - none
password - none
transport type - udp
port - 5060

I have changed my phone settings to match yours and its still not working. I get the same errors.
Is there anything special I need to do to the config on the asterisk box?

 

by: grbladesPosted on 2008-03-13 at 08:27:13ID: 21117171

This is the config I am using on asterisk.

[61xx]
type=friend
secret=xxxxxxxx
username=61xx
callerid="users name" <61xx>
host=dynamic
disallow=all
allow=alaw
allow=ilbc
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
context=voipuk
pickupgroup=1
qualify=yes

How are you connecting to asterisk. Is it via a wireless network in the office?

 

by: mark_06Posted on 2008-03-13 at 19:51:02ID: 21122710

I am using wireless and have tried inside the office and outside. I have no problems connecting other SIP devices from either side of the firewall. Also I am using Trixbox if that makes any difference.

 

by: grbladesPosted on 2008-03-14 at 02:18:04ID: 21123869

Can you go through every option in the SIP configuration on your phone and post them here (remove any passwords) so that I can check them against my phone.

 

by: mark_06Posted on 2008-03-17 at 00:21:13ID: 21140272

It is setup exactly as you told me to.

 

by: ajsaastaPosted on 2008-03-17 at 11:56:10ID: 21144995

I've got the same problem; Asterisk and Nokia E51 wont register correctly.

I've tried and checked all the possible options and re-checked them at least 5 times.

I debugged the sip negotiation and saw that my GSM Provider (Sonera Finland) uses IP 212.213.204.99 as GPRS/3G gateway address and NATs user phones behind it:

<--- Transmitting (NAT) to 212.213.204.99:49031 --->
SIP/2.0 403 Forbidden
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.107.102.57:5060;branch=z9hG4bK33ac47v7rdhc7p3u04tl3hv;received=212.213.204.99;rport=49031

So at that precise moment my phone had non-public ip 10.107.102.57.

I've set other softphones and they can connect to my Asterisk box (which is NATted in my own home network) just fine even if the softphones are also behind NAT in, for example, my friends home network.

So NATting / firewalling / port forwarding should not be the problem here. I cannot get my E51 register with Asterisk even in my home WLAN.

Also I can register my phone to my account at voipdiscount.com with no proble; via GPRS/3g or WLAN.

uh, oh...

Just got my E51 to register with Asterisk... ;-)

Should have read and TESTED grblades note:

***************************************************************
Proxy Server
-------------
proxy server address - sip:x.x.x.x
realm - asterisk
user name - user
password - password
allow loose routing - yes
transport type - udp
port - 5060
***************************************************************

THAT ACTUALLY DOES THE TRICK WITH E51

The realm must be "asterisk" or the domain specified in sip.com (domain=xxxxxxxx) and the username and password as specified in the extension details. I didnt use proxy settings in my E51 because all my other hard/soft phones work without it...

Thanks to grblades !

I think my issue might be with trixbox maybe? I will install asterisk from scratch on a different computer and see what happens.

 

by: grbladesPosted on 2008-03-20 at 01:43:32ID: 21169184

I cant imagine it being trixbox since it is just as asterisk system with the configuration files generated by the web interface. It might be worth a go though just to make sure.

 

by: mark_06Posted on 2008-04-03 at 03:08:39ID: 21270955

Sorry for taking so long...

Your right, it isnt trixbox, it wouldnt work when I installed asterisk from scratch either. Any other ideas? perhaps there is a software upgrade for my phone?

 

by: grbladesPosted on 2008-04-03 at 03:26:25ID: 21271017

The phones are user upgradable but I havent had problems using the same settings on a 2 year old E70 so I doubt it is a software issue. You could always see if there is a new firmware available though.

 

by: mark_06Posted on 2008-04-03 at 03:58:58ID: 21271182

What else could the issue be?

 

by: grbladesPosted on 2008-04-03 at 04:04:58ID: 21271207

Sorry no idea.
