Node credentials

Transceive requires a username and password to authenticate with a node. If you own a node, add credentials on the server. You can also verify that public authentication is configured if you want operators to connect without individual accounts.

Add a user

Add this section to /etc/asterisk/iax.conf:

[user_name] ; <- change this to desired username
type=user
context=transceive
auth=md5
secret=Sekret ; <- change this to desired password
host=dynamic
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=gsm
transfer=no

Add this context to /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf:

[transceive]
exten => ${NODE},1,rpt(${NODE}|X) ; NODE is normally already defined as your node number

For AllStarLink versions prior to v3:

[transceive]
exten = 1234,1,Rpt,1234|X ; <- Change 1234 to your node number

Restart the node after you modify the configuration.
