When I attempt to connect to the Asterisk server from CSipSimple, over a Cisco router, on the same network, Asterisk logs show the attempted connection:

CSipSimple itself fails to connect to the local Asterisk server.
Because Jitsi shows similar errors, it doesn't seem to be client specific. Because both Jitsi on a Mac and CSipSimple on an Android phone can make voice calls out, that, to my mind, positively eliminates a firewall on the router as a cause.
In the meantime, I've disabled the firewall on the server to eliminate that as a potential issue, which, admittedly, probably, wasn't necessary.
When Asterisk replies with 401 Unauthorized how do I know why the connection is unauthorized?
The full log is too large to post here. While sip set debug on didn't provide any output, the output from that command is here, although that was with Jitsi.
