The IAX configuration file (iax.conf) contains all of the configuration information As- terisk needs to create and manage IAX protocol channels. The sections in the file are separated by headings, which are formed by a word framed in square brackets ([]). The name in the brackets will be the name of the channel, with one notable exception: the |
[general] section, which is not a channel, is the area where global protocol parameters are defined. This section examines the various general and channel-specific settings for iax.conf. We will define each parameter and then give an example of its use. Certain options may have several valid arguments. These arguments are listed beside the option, sep- arated with the pipe symbol (|). For example, bandwidth=low|medium|high means that the bandwidth option accepts one of the values low, medium, or high as its argument. You can insert comments anywhere in the iax.conf file, by preceding the comment text with the semicolon character (;). Everything to the right of the semicolon will be ig- nored. Feel free to use comments liberally. |
