Hi there.

was wondering if anyone could give us a run through an explanation of the wiki and other examples of connecting to iptel's sip express router using asterisk pbx so i can understand better the call processing ..
given the example i work from on john todd's www.loligo.com site ;
exten => _3.,1,SetCallerID(${IPTELUSERID}) exten => _3.,2,SetCIDname(${IPTELUSERNAME}) exten => _3.,3,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) exten => _3.,4,Playback(invalid) exten => _3.,5,Hangup
are the first two statements mandatory to connection to iptel.org ??
No, they aren't.. When you use a peer definition to place a call, as you do here with the [iptel] section in sip.conf
and your given Dial command with the @iptel address, setting the caller id at this point is actually useless, as the username and fromuser options in [iptel] section will override these settings.
In addition, this example usage of SetCallerID and SetCIDname is wrong anyhow, It should either be just SetCallerID("your name" <yournumber>), ie setting both name and number in one statement, our doing it in two statements, e.g.:
SetCIDname(yourname)
SetCIDnum(yournumber)
In all these statements you can substitute the literal name and number strings with symbols defined in extensions.conf,
as you have, ${IPTELUSERID) etc, so it's just a macro substitution within extensions.conf
i understand the dial plan of any numbers prefixed by 3 are interpreted as iptel extensions, and that the third extension priority strips off the prefix
presumably the call is then 'processed' by the [iptel] section of sip.conf
and generates sip call with the credentials in this section as those passed
to the iptel.org server ??
Correct.
how (iassuming they do) these relate in any way to the IPTELUSERID /The parameters in [iptel] have no relation to these symbols and you can't use the symbols in sip.conf
IPTELUSERNAME variables defined in extensions.conf ??
No, you just dial the extension number. The SIP driver takes the domain portion of the SIP URI from thepresumably (and i am using a 7940 sip device) i can dial an asterisk extension of targetiptelusername prefixed with 3 to call the sip user registered with
qu. does the target iptel username need the iptel.org domain appended to it
or is it somehow 'implied' by the above ??
host parameter in [iptel].
The fromdomain parameter should specify the authentication domain or realm that the username (=destination extension) you specify belongs to. Without the fromdomain parameter, Asterisk has the habit of placing your raw IP address from which you're calling into the From: SIP header, example: From: "George Bush" <sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>another wiki example suggests the use of a 'fromdomain' statement in an [iptel] section of sip.conf ??
instead of the domain that your exention (1600) belongs to (whitehouse.gov). The fromdomain parameter is sometimes needed to connect to certain proxyservers that require a caller to belong to their domain to call certain services.
