If you need any beta testers let me know...

btw. asterisk is up and running beautifully!  I have termination with atp, a did number, and have configured an IVR.

Thanks for all your help getting it set-up on my SME server.

Its done. I just want to test it for a bit before letting it loose.

Duncan it would be nice to add AM (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-AM) into a panel and add that to the rpm ?!

I have been playing around with the documentation of mason so maybe a panel with asterisk config could be in place soon...

That looks interesting, cant get it to work though. I just get server errors in the cgi-bin. Anything special that needs to be done to get it to work.

I would like to keep the rpm reasonably clean. At the moment it installs with no dependencies on 6.0.1 and sets the server up disabled. It follows SMEs template system - so its pretty easy to enable/disable. I have only tested it in a vmware machine.

It wouldnt be that hard to build a second rpm with stuff like AM etc built in. That would give the user a choice on how they want run the system.

The rpm is available from
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dthomas/smeserver/6.x/Beta/Asterisk/

It is not suitable for 386/C3 platforms.
It was built and tested on a fresh vmware machine from 0.9.0.
If you have and existing installation - back up your config files.
The howto should be fine.

Let me know if there are any dramas.

I did not had the right opportunity to test it yet but anyway thanks for your attention duncan.

greetings and keep up the good work.

I'm getting back to asterisk...

Nice work Duncan.

I'm gonna buy another computer to muck around with that rpm on...

[duncan]

If someone has installed the package - can they let me know how it went. I have no way to test it outside of a Vmware machine at the moment.

Duncan,

the installations seems to be fine so far, I am running SME Server 6.0.1-01, I was able to connect with a cisco sip phone and get the IVR promts and messages. Still more to be done.

Great job..

Duncan,
Is it possible to create an i386 version (which should then also be able to be used on C3)?

[duncan]

I have a Mini-ITX here that I was planning to do a build on. I will sort something out later this week.

Regards Duncan.

Think PHP needs an update, I'll get back on this.

I can agree on this, but my future thoughts was to integrate the user creation part with a field for SIP phone nr.

Agree.

Hi

I have just poped back to see How thinks were getting on. And must say it is looking good!

I will have a go with your rpm over the weekend?

Just a couple of questions

is there a control panel or AM installed?
And I am going to need a softphone to test with any sugestions as what software I should use?

Paul

Keep the great work, you are added a very usefull function to SME!

[matsk]

No panel or AM yet and for software try http://www.xten.com/.

I have been lurking this forum for some time ... have followed your discussion and tried some of the ideas you mention ...

biggest problem I have encountered was getting the zapata and zaptel pieces to compile properly ... suspect that if I had been more patient, would have eventually figured out how to do it ...

as it happens, I chanced across a site that had pre-built RPMs for RH 7.3 for the zapata, zaptel and libpri pieces ... I just installed them on my SME 6.0.1 (fresh install) and they dropped right into place ... my Digium cards are ALIVE !!!

the link to the ftp site is

ftp://ftp.nacs.net/asterisk/rh73/RPMS/

hope this saves someone else the 2 days I killed trying to do it myself ...

regards

Hi,

everybody is talking about working external ISDN cards in their * config. I'd like to do so, too.

See http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=23168.0

Could anyone give me some basic education on configuring * to work with an (passive) ISDN card for my SIP clients (that work) to place and recieve calls?

I'd be so thankful... I'm trying for days... just too stupid?
