Topic: AsteriskPBX

I dont use any GUI tools.

You should be able to get a basic sip setup running by adjusting sip.conf and extensions.conf only (Thats all i have touched along with modem.conf for my ISDN)

One thing i have noticed is that a reload sometimes is not enough. It is better to do a stop now and then restart the process.

Duncan, do you run yours in Australia? connected to the telco network?

Which hardware is permitted? i cant find any that seems to be approved

Hi pete - Im in WA. I am running mine as an extension (ISDN) of our PABX using a netjet card from traverse.

Maybe this is of any help:

This is about the only legit gear in Australia - apart from the Dialogic stuff.

Pretty expensive.

ISDN isnt really an option.

Does anyone know what is the smallest number range available from telstra? do they do blocks of 25 or 50?

We have 8 x 100 ext number ranges, we used to have some in via 4 POTS, (as a fallback measure), this type of setup, with say 3 lines would work ok for in and outbound calls for the PABX?

Can you get telephone handsets that have RJ45 5terminations, that will plug into one of those netgear routers on the other end of a VPN connection, give it an IP, configure ext/IP in pabx and you now have a full indial telelphone extension at remote location?

I want FXO for handling the connection of PBX to telco network via POTS?

Aside from the detail of PBX config, the above is essentially it?

Smallest number range - if you are talking indial is 100 - Primary or Basic rate. Analogue indial is now almost unheard of.

The Grandstream phones are IP based with rj45 connections.

So did anyone get astersik working on a different machine?  I don't seem to get a registration back from my viop gateway.  I can see the traffic for registration going out (watching with ethereal) but noting get backs to the asterisk box from the esmith box.  

Anyone got any suggestions as to how I can manage this?

Could you give a little more detail on your setup. Are you running Asterisk on the e-smith box - and if so are you using IAX.

For those who don't want to install the devtools - and instead want a RPM install then you may be interested in my experiment today.  I tried Asterisk on SME 6.0.1 using RPMs rather than a CVS snapshot. You need to install the asterisk with
rpm -ivh --nodeps asterisk-040904-rh73.LSE.1.i386.rpm

and add these lines to modules.conf
noload => cdr_odbc.so
noload => cdr_pgsql.so
noload => chan_zap.so

The RPMs are from

hi

Will Asterisk work with the voip services providers?

Yes it will.

When I try to install libpri and asterisk I get the following error:

Makefile:73: .depend: No such file or directory.

I just made a clean installation of SME 6.0.1, and I have the following development tools installed :

binutils-2.11.93.0.2-11.i386.rpm
bison-1.35-1.i386.rpm
cpp-2.96-113.i386.rpm
gcc-2.96-113.i386.rpm
glibc-devel-2.2.5-44.i386.rpm
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.16.i386.rpm
kernel-source-2.4.20-18.7.i386.rpm
libogg-1.0rc3-1.i386.rpm
libvorbis-1.0rc3-1.i386.rpm
mpg123-0.59q-1.i386.rpm
ncurses-devel-5.2-26.i386.rpm
openssl-devel-0.9.6b-35.7.i386.rpm
readline-4.2a-4.i386.rpm
readline-devel-4.2a-4.i386.rpm
sox-12.17.3-4.i386.rpm

I did the checkout and tried to compile everything in the following order:

zaptel
libpri
asterisk

Could you please tell me what am I missing??

[cydonia]

I did everything in the howto.  down to this last part where it says i should be able to connect with:

"asterisk –r"
I get this message:

"Unable to connect to remote asterisk"

I made sure that i ran these properly too:

cp /usr/src/asterisk/contrib/init.d/rc.redhat.asterisk /etc/rc.d/init.d/asterisk
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S93asterisk

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop asterisk status enabled
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save
/sbin/reboot



any ideas whats causing this?  evidently its Asterisk is not starting upon boot...  but im' not sure what to do about it...


cheers.

[duncan]

organetic - did you do "make and make dep" in your /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-18.7 directory.

cydonia run asterisk –vvvvc and see where it flakes out. If you are running a AMD, C3 or 386 machine the makefile needs editing.

seems to be fine.  does a lot of stuff and settles at;


== Parsing '/etc/asterisk/enum.conf': Found
Asterisk Ready.

Any ideas?
