Topic: Server fails to connect to trunk after dsl link drops and comes back

[versa]

This may have nothing to do with either sail or sme server but just in case.

SME is in server only mode behind a Netgear firewall.
My DSL every few days might drop out and come back maby a 1 or 2 mins later, the server looses contact with its trunk, however it never reconnects to it just giving an error about "unreachable"

If I stop the server in the global settings wait a minute and restart it all is fine again. Should asterisks do this itself automatically ?

Well you would think so wouldn't you?  But no... it won't, or if it will, then I don't know how to do it.

Ok thanks for the info selintra,
Do you know would the same apply if it was in gateway mode with the dsl modem bridged

Thanks

I don't think that it much matters how you are connected.  Once the session fails then re-establishment can be difficult.  However, SIP seems to do much better than IAX after such failures so, given the choice, I would always rather run SIP than IAX.  Of course the real solution is to kick ass with your DSL vendor and get them to give you a decent service in the first place.

On the rare (very) occassion that our DSL drops out all our trunks and remote extensions seem to reconnect without any intervention on my part.

Mine is in server/gateway mode with 2 Tisp's, 2 remote SME boxes and a few remote extensions.
