PJSIP in Asterisk

PJSIP

PJSIP (res_pjsip.so) replaces replaces chan_sip.so. It has a different configuration file (pjsip.conf) and a much nicer configuration syntax.

PJSIP wizard

On the downside, the configuration is much more verbose. But this complexity can be avoided by using res_pjsip_config_wizard.so and the configuration file pjsip_wizard.conf. The wizard module has an easier syntax and handles the creation of all the res_pjsip.so objects.

The nice thing is that every res_pjsip.so setting created this way can still be changed by prefixing the object name (objectname/setting). However, for some settings this is actually needed. The wizard module alone will not create a usable configuration!

Errors and possible solutions

Error Possible solution
No suitable credential Maybe the realm is wrong. It can be changed with inbound_auth/realm = …
No channel type registered for 'SIP' The technology in the Dial application must be changed from SIP to PJSIP (e.g. PJSIP/42@example.com)
No route to destination The dialed number must exist as an endpoint and must be available (see pjsip list endpoints)
SIP/2.0 403 Username in From Field required Sniff the SIP protocol. Maybe the From: header used to communicate with the provider is wrong. It must not be
From: <sip:something@your_ip>
but
From: <sip:your_provider_username@your_provider_domain>.

This is configured by setting endpoint/from_user and endpoint/from_domain to the username you use to authenticate with your provider and to the domain of the provider.

no media line found in SDP message There may be some endpoint/ options missing in the phone section.
The extension called by the provider is “s”, i.e. To: <sip:s@…. Explicitly set the number that will be used for incoming calls. This is also the extension that will be used in the dial plan. registration/contact_user = 12345
symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/asterisk/modules/res_pjsip.so: undefined symbol: pj_ssl_cipher_get_availables

symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/asterisk/modules/res_pjsip.so: undefined symbol: pjsip_tls_transport_start2

PJSIP was not compiled with OpenSSL.
Gentoo Bug 609702 says it's an upstream problem. In Gentoo this is fixed by a patch in version 2.7.2.
(And 8 hours later PJSIP was flying.)
