Hi,
No , it is not normal, and seeing the @ip.address is also not normal. I do not know exactly what asterisk version are you using, or your full config, but it is certianly not normall to see numbers like 234234@1.2.3.4 or "fon12", you should see just NUMBERS when dialing.
Just to be sure, in /etc/asterisk/manager.conf you must have the "all" permissions both to read and write, there was a thread with like 15 messages going back and forth, inspecting some manager events, etc, and it was because trixbox has a bug and filters some key manager events.
Are you using freepbx? And when you say you tried with 1.12, did you mean with FOP 2.20 beta?
Best regards,
