[asterisk-users] best softphone for 2012?
Just installed asterisknow 1.6. I can access freepbx. I need to test system on my LAN. Which softphone is best to use? I'm running ubuntu on Dell optiplex G260 desktop at home. I'm hoping to setup basic IP PBX for incoming/outgoing calls. No video. Tom -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] sflphone questions
I want to set sflphone as extension on asterisk. I have a sip account/DID with vitelity.net. Not sure what to put in the wizard: alias ??? hostname ??? is this the asterisk server hostname, or the hostname where my sflphone is sitting on the lan (it's a home network) username ??? is this the assigned extension number? password ??? is this the assigned extension number password? Any help appreciated.

[asterisk-users] outbound calls not reaching vitelity
Any vitelity customers with pbxinaflash boxes? I'm able to call in-house, but failing to make outbound calls. My assigned server at vitelity is not reachable. I can ping to my ISP OK.

Thanks, Tom snip I'm not using pbxinaflash but I am using Vitelity and have had no problems at all - in fact very happy with them. They should have given you a management portal for your account probably portal.vitelity.net. In there, there is an option to open a trouble ticket. Hope this helps - John Thanks, much. Will do.

[asterisk-users] x-lite settings to reach asterisk
Hello: I have the linux version 2.0 of x-lite downloaded. Does anyone know exactly what settings needed to reach the asterisk server on my home network? Internet -DSL transparent bridge -router -asterisk -softphone x-lite attempts to login and register, but times out. There must be some setting I'm missing. Any help appreciated.

Re: [asterisk-users] x-lite settings to reach asterisk [SOLVED]
Joao Gomes Pereira wrote: Does your asterisk has a private or public IP? Is your X-Lite in your LAN or outside? If X-Lite is outside the Lan, you need to forward all traffic coming to your Lan in port 5060, to asterisks private IP. Activate SIP debug in asterisk CLI to check if the traffic is getting to asterisk. Joao Pereira Joao: Thanks for responding. Last night, I gave up trying to get the settings right. Then, today, right after posting, I brought up x-lite to give it another go, and the dumb thing logged in successfully and all tests for in-house connections are working. Not sure what happened, but this step is now completed. I'll now start in to see if I can set things up to call out. I have the pre-configured PBX in a Flash computer. I'm following the book by Blanchas. Wish me luck.

Re: [asterisk-users] HR 5889.

After reading the bill in question, I have little doubt that the authors of that blog piece are, to put it mildly, full of it. HR 5889 makes clear mention of the diligence that is required, and, if notified of the infringement, the infringer must cease to make use of the work, unless he pays the copyright owner a price that the owner demands. Furthermore, the existence of an active email account on the copyrighted work in question would completely negate any claim of due diligence, by the plain language of the bill. Additionally, the blog piece completely misses the qualification of the commercial database: to qualify, they must contain all authors and all contact information, and if any contact information is readily available, and they do not put it in their database, they stand to lose certification as a copyright database. So much for having to pay to register your work. In short, this bill is very well balanced, and I certainly hope it becomes law. Then again, Lessig felt strong enough about the bill to publish an op-ed in the NYT. By the way, are you familiar with the senator that authored the bill?

[asterisk-users] videoconferencing with asterisk issues
What's the situation with configuring Asterisk to handle videoconferencing over a community wireless intranet? I found a radio at www.ubnt.com that is called, Nanostation2. It has a range up to 15 kilometers, and sells for a mere $80. Seems like a really low-cost community wireless network (intranet) that doesn't need Internet access could be set up. The community could then use Asterisk for videoconferencing for a community wide garage sale tour each week. Any pointers on what would be needed to do this appreciated.

CentOS (http://centos.org) and Debian (http://debian.org) see to be the most popular to run Asterisk on. See those links for CD purchasing as well. Though there are methids to boot at least Debian from a floppy or whatever. Ooops! I wasn't very clear. I apologize. I've obtained a few older PCs. It seems like they could be set up as VoIP boxes, and put out into the community. Asterisknow.org sounds like it's got a liveCD that I could put into the CD drive, and install a VoIP setup. Is the Asterisknow making a CD available for purchase to put on these older PCs?

[Asterisk-Users] Intro and first questions
This is my first venture into VoIP from my Fedora Core 4 system. I came across a posting: http://atrpms.net/name/asterisk/ http://atrpms.net/name/asterisk-addons/ http://atrpms.net/name/asterisk-sounds/ http://atrpms.net/name/spandsp/ http://atrpms.net/name/libpri/ http://atrpms.net/name/zaptel/ on the Fedora list, added the repository to yum, and downloaded, installed, then typed: # asterisk -c , hit the return, and a bunch of stuff happened, before returning to the root prompt. My first goal(s) is to be able to configure the machine to make a PC to PC call to my daughter, who lives in Minnesota. If all goes well, I can set up her computer to receive the call, using Asterisk. Is this a realistic first experience project? If so, is there a tutorial out there that describes the steps I need to take? Any advice, suggestions, greatly appreciated.
