Has ANYONE here EVER got mikrotik router to work properly and stably with asterisk and or pbx and if so…how … i have already spent hundreds of $$$ on “supposed” mik experts & software only to be provide an unusable system along with excuses as to why it’s not working… YES i’m frustrated can you blame me …i’m not interested in paying for on the job training … i am willing to pay $$$ to someone that can actually get it working or is mikrotik software not able to do this …
Simply put… am i wasting my time & $$$ trying to get it to work using this system … and asterisk …
Ive got an asterisk box firewalled behind my RB1000 at a datacenter. 3 SIP trunks from 2 providers and 6 SIP phones at different locations over the open internet.
Works great. Mangle/mark connections to prioritize. Didnt really have to do anything special…
You make it sound so " easy " you would think it should be that " easy" for someone that knows what they are doing i would appreciate it greatly if you could help me with my setup and/share your setup scenario with me becuz i’m sick and tired of dealing with all the prior wannabe " experts" making excuses that couldn’t get it to work … i’m ready to pull my hair out
I have multiple Asterisk installations routing through ROS boxes. It just works.
That’s because (assuming that the Asterisk box is configured correctly, of course) it is easy.
If you can share a little more information with us (details of your IP blocks, whether you’re using NAT or not, your current configuration, the SIP/IAX/H323 definition in Asterisk, details of any firewalls (iptables?) running on the Asterisk box etc. etc.), I’m sure that we’ll be able to work out what the problem is.
been there done that doesn’t work … something else in mik router is " still " blocking it … even tried 4569, 5038, calls dropped after 30 seconds…
this mik router was built & configured by one of the supposed certified " mik "consultants … i paid a lot of $$$$ to setup … and got nothing for it so i’m hoping someone can help me get it setup properly …
so either
he doesn’t know what he’s doing or…
this software based mik software isn’t capable of doing the job properly …
i’m not looking for charity …
I would glady pay you or someone that actually knows what they are doing … if it’s really that simple (as i assume it should be) … “experts” like him give you a bad rap… makes people think it’s the product… and frustrates the heck out of people …
so … can you duplicate that success on our system …
if i knew how to do this myself i :
wouldn’t be hiring someone else to do it
I wouldn’t be asking for help
so … does anyone know how to properly configure it or not ??? or like i have said many times i don’t think it’s even possible to do it with the software if so why can’t anybody get it working … ?
I’d also ask what’s in rtp.conf just to see what ports it’s expecting. However, the 30 second problem is likely to be a SIP timeout (by default, RTP in asterisk times out at 60 seconds).
I’ll do you a deal - you give me remote access to your ROS box and your SIP handset and I’ll have a looksee. If I find the problem and fix it, then you make a donation to http://www.justgiving.com/christonabike of whatever you think the fix was worth.
If you don’t want to give up remote access to a complete stranger (which I could understand), then do the following and e-mail me the output:
/tool sniffer set file-limit=2048 file-name="dump-handset" filter-address1=X.X.X.X/32:0-65535 \
filter-address2=0.0.0.0/0:0-65535 filter-protocol=ip-only filter-stream=yes\
interface=all memory-limit=10 memory-scroll=no only-headers=no \
streaming-enabled=no streaming-server=0.0.0.0
; Replace X.X.X.X with the IP address of the handset (192.168.....)
/tool sniffer start
; MAKE A CALL HERE!
/tool/sniffer stop
/tool/sniffer set filter-address1=Y.Y.Y.Y/32:0-65535 file-name="dump-host"
; Replace Y.Y.Y.Y with the IP address of the Asterisk box
/tool sniffer start
; MAKE A CALL HERE!
/tool/sniffer stop
; E-mail the files dump-handset and dump-host
Using a MikroTik router only as a router with Asterisk should not face any problems (we’ve setuped some without problems). What exactly does not work?
What did the MT consultant say was the problem?
I had looked at his FW rules. And if it was setup by a MT certified engineer, it was pretty sorry. No real flow of rules, looks like it was hacked together from pieces of wiki articles. Although, the firewall didnt seem to be the issue. It is either something in the config of his asterisk box, or something with his upstream ISP. I looked at the asterisk box and tried a few settings that I have had to set before on mine to make it more firewall friendly, but it still didnt work. Although, it is running 1.6 and PBXin a flash and I only really have experience w/ 1.4 from source… So I might have missed something. Checked some of the obvious RTP.conf stuff and registration options to no avail. It was NOT MT blocking it or dropping the connection, though.
