Common Error Messages and their Meanings

Error Message
 Problem
rtp.c: Comfort noise support incomplete in Asterisk (RFC 3389). Please turn off on client if possible. Client IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
 This may or may not be an issue.  If you have a local client that has comfort noise support on, turn it off.  If it is a Provider, you may want to set RTP-Keep Alive.  Note if you have no music on hold and you place a client like this on hold, they will be disconnected if you have set RTP Timeout or RTP Timeout on hold, once this timer has elapsed.
NOTICE chan_sip.c: Disconnecting call 'SIP/XXX-XXXXXXX' for lack of RTP activity in 11 seconds
If you have RTP Timeout set, (which is a good thing).  Then a call to SIP/<EXTENSION# or PROVIDER NAME> was terminated because voice traffic that was expected did not transmit for 11 seconds.
Call from to extension 'XXXX' rejected because extension not found

Someone tried to make a guest call to your system.  If Guest calls are allowed under PBXSetup->SIP, then they can be made to 's' by or any dids only.  If you notice a lot of these and that your system performance is degrading, it is recommended that you do a packet capture to determine the offending IP address and then block it with an ACL entry to prevent system performance from being affected.


Note if from has an extension in it then it indicates that a number that is not supported by the dialplan was dialed.  Like 1 for instance.

WARNING app_dial.c: Unable to create channel of type 'SIP' (cause 20 - Unknown)
 This occurs when someone tries to dial a SIP device that is supposed to be there but for some reason it cannot be contacted.  This could be an extension that was registered but is not responding because it has lost power, it could be a SIP provider that cannot be reached.  There are a lot of issues that can cause this message.
