Call attempt Failed issued in iaxRPT

N3NKV1 · January 24, 2022, 4:30pm

Background info:
Presently running a node and I have iaxRPT setup on my Desktop computer running. Reason being is that at present time not sure if I am going to put up a simplex node or a full fledged repeater here at the new QTH. I had a Allstar repeater up once before.

Problem is in the iaxRPT program.
I have all my account information setup for my node ( Correct IP address followed by :4569) along with user name and password.

When I click the connect button above DTMF pad, I get the following error code:
Call Attempt failed

Are you using hamvoip?

Can you show your stanza for iaxrpt in iax.conf and stanza in extensions.conf

Well,
I see no reason you can’t log into 43893 using user iaxrpt and your correct pasw.

After verifying your port forwarding to ip in your router,
I would run asterisk in the foreground and watch the verbose3 output while connecting.
asterisk -rvvv

It may be telling of the issue. Let us know what you see.

edit…
actually a second stare reveals this…
Change your stanza in ext.conf

[radio-iaxrpt]
exten=43893,1,Rpt,43893|X

Change to this…
[radio-iaxrpt]
exten => 43893,1,rpt(43893|X)

That should make a difference.

Check your CODEC configuration in iaxRPT.

Options → Preferences → CODECs

Make sure ulaw and GSM are checked as “allowed”, and set your preferred CODEC (ulaw sounds better).

You can also monitor the asterisk console (asterisk -rvvvv) while you are trying to connect with iaxRPT, to see why it is rejecting the call.

I had exactly this problem on wednesday - lost 3 hours of my life to it

When I copy pasted my password from PuTTY into IAXRPT I pasted in
a trailing space by accident like:
“P4$$w0rd” became "P4$$w0rd " <----- one extra space on the end

It seems that IAXRPT doesnt trim off white space at the end of a password

As soon as I removed the last character … {OK}

I can laugh about it now boy was I upset at the time!

What was maddening was that with high console verbosity I could see it
wasn’t registering, but the password LOOKED 100% correct! one damned " " !!!

Regards
