Author Problems with 1866 and X-Lite

I am starting out with Voip and am having problems with X-Lite and the
1866 iax service. I've configured it according to [1] but for some
reason, I fail to hear the person I am calling. They can hear me fine. I
know that this service is working, as I have it working with Firefly,
but I want to set this up on my linux box, hence the need to configure
X-Lite.

Any pointers as to what might be going wrong? Is this a codec thing?

TIA

For 1866, I mean 1899.

Sounds like you have a router problem, you will need to open/forward some
ports.

If it was just a port, what does Firefly do to get round that port that
XLite cannot?

Are you using Firefly with the iax setting and X-Lite with the sip setting?

I've not changed any setting on X-Lite - my guess is that Firefly
automatically detects iax, whereas X-Lite doesn't.

How do I config X-Lite to see an account as IAX instead of SIP?

TIA

Does X-Lite handle IAX..? I thought it was purely SIP, but I could be
wrong.

In the proxy settings enter iax.1899.com in place of where you have sip.......

Yes, x-lite handles iax.

No it doesn't - not according to the authors of the program anyway. The only
protocol it supports is SIP.

same protocol, different URL for same server.

X-lite isn't an IAX client.

Strange then, I have been using it all this time and still am with a few iax
entries!!!

So does x-lite / 1899 just ignore the fact I have entered iax.1899.com and
switch to sip.1899.com ?

Yes. I imagine the 1899.com software can determine which protocol your
device wants to use and opens the appropriate channel.

They resolve to the same servers, so there is nothing to ignore.

$ host iax.1899.com
iax.1899.com A 213.61.187.157
iax.1899.com A 213.61.187.156
$ host sip.1899.com
sip.1899.com A 213.61.187.157
sip.1899.com A 213.61.187.156
$

Hmm, not quite. If you use X-Lite, it will try to connect to the SIP
port on the server (5060 by default). If you use an IAX client it will
try to connect to the IAX port on the server (default 5036).

It's to do with the client software, not the server.

As Phil says, they're different names for the same machine, they resolve
to the same IP address(es). So it doesn't matter which you use.

no, the question is do they resolve to the same IP and/or do both
offer both SIP and IAX.

x-lite will address the SIP port on the IP address resolved from the
server name. It could be bollocks.1899.com but that wouldn't make
x-lite talk bollocks.

As Phil explains quite well in other posts below - using iax.blah.com to
register against compared to using sip.blah.com should not be confused with
the actual protocol being used to handle the call.

Firefly does indeed support both SIP and IAX protocols but X-Lite is SIP
only.

Fine. This is clearer than what I wrote.

Except the server must be set up to accept connections on either port.
