[asterisk-users] SIP port 5060 closed - how do I open it?

Hi all,

I have *NOW beta 6 (asterisk 1.4.5) and I’ve configured it with a SIP trunk line. I can make outgoing calls, but I cannot receive any incoming calls. A port scan of my * server shows that port 5060 is closed. How do I open this port? In my users.conf, I have set [trunk_1] to hassip=yes and port=5060.

 

Also, in the global SIP.conf file

bindport=5060

bindaddr=0.0.0.0

allowexternaldomains=no

allowexternalinvites=no

 

Do I have to set allowexternalinvites or allowexternaldomains to yes to accept INVITEs from my ITSP? I’ve already configured the system to allow traffic from their IP address.

 

Thanks for the help!

 

Regards,

Zaheer
