IAXRPT is a specialized Windows "soft phone" program which allows users to connect from their PC's to an AllStarLink node. Setting up IAXRPT access is similar to setting up dial-in access, but a different command line switch is used in extensions.conf, and user authorization is done in iax.conf.

Security Issues
| Incoming IAXRPT connections need to be authorized by making sure the incoming IAX user stanza is protected with a secret. This is the case because incoming IAX calls are not checked against a nodes stanza. |
Modifying iax.conf
- SSH into your node and modify /etc/asterisk/iax.conf.
- A user stanza needs to added to iax.conf to allow incoming IAXRPT calls to be routed to a context in extensions.conf. A modified on the following stanza should be placed in iax.conf:
[iaxrpt] type=user context=iaxrpt auth=md5 secret=CHANGEMEPLEASE ; *** Important! Change this!!! host=dynamic disallow=all allow=ulaw allow=gsm transfer=no ; requirecalltoken = no ; Un-comment or insert for ASL3
Add a context stanza to /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf to transfer control to app_rpt:
[iaxrpt]
- <<< choose one of the following formats >>>>>>>
- exten = 1234,1,Rpt,1234|X ; Change 1234 to your node number < this is for "pre" ASL3
- exten = 1234,1,Rpt(1234|X) ; Change 1234 to your node number < this is for ASL3
The X option passed to the Rpt application disables the normal security checks. Because incoming connections are validated in iax.conf, and we don't know where the user will be coming from in advance, the X option is required.
IAXRpt Usage
Program Setup
"Account Name" is the node number
User is the "stanza name" or iaxrpt in our example.
