Troubleshooting
CallToken Support Required
To fix the following error:
ERROR[2153] chan_iax2.c: Call rejected, CallToken Support required. If unexpected, resolve by placing address 54.X.Y.Z in the calltokenoptional list or setting user switchvox requirecalltoken=no
Add the lines below to /etc/asterisk/iax_general_additional.conf
:
requirecalltoken=no calltokenoptional=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
Incoming Call is Unencrypted
If you have a forceencryption=yes
