Each time that the phone system routes a call, it sends an SMDI message through an EIA/TIA-232 connection to the voice-messaging system that tells it the line that it is using, the type of call that it is forwarding, and information about the source and destination of the call.
So this is NOT the problem in your case. I would start by checking the basic TCP/ip connectivity b/w the machine running the * PBX and your Softphone. Try this: iptables -L are they any rules listed, by default many linux distros setup a basic fierewall for you that by default rejects or drops everything but ssh and/or http. Ping your PBX from your softphone PC. Is it reachable? Is asterisk running?
