[asterisk-users] Asterisk on OpenWrt (first time user)
Hello list,
I'm hoping that you could read through this mail and give me some tips
on how to improve my setup (functionality, security, really anything).
It's my first Asterisk installation and meant for simple home use.
I installed Asterisk 11 on an OpenWrt Barrier Breaker router. Currently
it's configured for Ekiga so I can test. In a few weeks I'll change to a
Telco SIP provider for a PSTN connect.
My Ekiga test calls are successful. So it does seem to work :)
The router is configured like this:
- has a user 'asteriskpbx' so Asterisk doesn't run as root
- has a USB stick for logs and CDRs
- has a LAN port which I removed from the regular LAN VLAN and put into
its own VLAN; only the hardware SIP phone is connected; there's no
forwarding to and from this network
- firewall allows SIP and RTP packets from the outside, but only from
Ekiga.net
The main config file:
[directories]
astdbdir = /mnt/usb/asterisk/dbdir
astlogdir = /mnt/usb/asterisk/logdir
[options]
systemname = my.dynamic.domain.com
runuser = asteriskpbx
rungroup = asteriskpbx
defaultlanguage = de
documentation_language = en_US
live_dangerously = no
[compat]
pbx_realtime=1.6
res_agi=1.6
app_set=1.6
Here's the SIP setup:
[general]
context=unauthenticated
allowguest=no
srvlookup=no
udpbindaddr=0.0.0.0
tcpenable=no
localnet=172.16.28.0/24
alwaysauthreject=yes

register = MyEkigaUser:myekigap...@ekiga.net/MyEkigaUser

This is my dialplan:
[LocalSets]
exten = 101,1,Dial(SIP/MyPhoneMacAddress,30)
exten = 500,1,Dial(SIP/ekiga_outbound/500,30)
exten = 501,1,Set(GROUP(users)=CallsToProvider)
same = n,NoOp(There are ${GROUP_COUNT(CallsToProvider)} calls for
account CallsToProvider.)
same = n,GotoIf($[${GROUP_COUNT(CallsToProvider)}
1]?denied:continue)
same = n(denied),NoOp(There are too many calls up already. Hang up.)
same = n,HangUp()
same = n(continue),NoOp(Continue processing call as normal here ...)
same = n,Dial(SIP/ekiga_outbound/501,30)
exten = 520,1,Dial(SIP/ekiga_outbound/520,30)
; For later when dialing out via the PSTN connect
;
; Apparently the German RegTP says that local numbers are at least
; 4 digits long. So the following will catch all calls (1234, 0242113,
; 003412314 etc.). Lets strip everything except numbers from the
; extension, though. And only allow 1 call at a time.
;
; exten = _.,1,Set(GROUP(users)=CallsToProvider)
;same = n,NoOp(There are ${GROUP_COUNT(CallsToProvider)} calls from
LocalSets to sip_provider_out.)

;same = n,HangUp()
;same = n(continue),NoOp(Continue processing call as normal here ...)
;same = n,Set(SAFE_EXTEN=${FILTER(0-9,${EXTEN})})
;same = n,Set(CALLERID(name)=area code + number)
;same = n,Set(CALLERID(num)=area code + number)
;same = n,Dial(SIP/sip_provider_out/${SAFE_EXTEN},30)
;
; Emergeny numbers (110, 112 and 115):
;
; exten = _11[025],1,Set(CALLERID(name)=area code + number)
;same = n,Set(CALLERID(num)=area code + number)
;same = n,Dial(SIP/sip_provider_out/${EXTEN})
[from-ekiga]
exten = MyEkigaUser,1,Dial(SIP/MyPhoneMacAddress,30)
The AMI Manager is disabled, as is CLI access for anybody except root:
[general]
default_perm = deny
[root]
permit = all
Named ACLs:
[voice_vlan]
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0

permit=86.64.162.35
[acl_ekiga_outbound]
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
Only load necessary modules:
[modules]
autoload=no
load = chan_sip.so
load = res_rtp_asterisk.so
load = app_dial.so
load = pbx_config.so
load = app_cdr.so

Any tips/hints/suggestions appreciated. Thanks for reading!

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk on OpenWRT
I have played with DD-WRT on linksys wrt54g version 5 last week (2 different ones, they are the model with less memory so i needed to use the micro version). I tried to use it as a repeater. (might have something to do with it) So far i read reports on great succes everywhere, my experience are not as good, the machines become highly unstable and i experienced heavy packetloss at random times. Encryption didn't work at all. Maybe other versions (with more memory or faster CPU's) are better, but my results were a disaster and i would not consider running Asterisk on top of that.

The trick does seem to make sure you have the right hardware platform underneath. I have high hopes for the Netgear boxes that should be in my hands tomorrow.

I played with this some over the weekend, and found some interesting things: 1) The latest 8.09 kamikaze no longer supports the Broadcom radios, so though it installs and runs fine as a *router* on Linksys WRT54Gv2 (and others based on Broadcom chipsets), there is no support for wifi! Bummer. 2) I suppose this should have been clear to me from the start, but without an external (or hacked internal) storage of some kind, running asterisk on some of these boxes won't have room for the sounds or voicemail storage. In fact on my WRT54Gv2, I don't seem to have room even for the base package. I get error (code 4096) when I attempt to install the asterisk1.4.23 package. A bit of googling seems to show that this means there is not enough room... this box has 4MB flash and 16MB RAM. 3) OpenWRT seems to be less stable and not as mature as dd-wrt, which I have been using for years. The box I installed and was playing with this weekend, now running the latest kamikaze, locks up every few hours. The web interface is nowhere near as featureful as dd-wrt. So has anyone managed to squeeze asterisk onto an old Linksys WRT54G? I just ordered two Netgear WGT634U which have USB ports. Am hoping to attack this again with these units, with thumb drives for storing voice prompts, voice mail, and call recordings. Amazing that for less than $30 I hope to have a mini full featured PBX :):) Cheers, j Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2009 12:12:35 +0200 From: abdelkader abdelkader2...@gmail.com Subject: [asterisk-users] Asterisk on OpenWRT Did anyone succeeded in installing Asterisk on OpenWRT system. pls help. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I can tell you she has been on the phone and received VM at the same time so there are two concurrent sessions. It means she keeps her number even though she moved to a retirement home that is out-of-area-code so she's more than happy. Plus calling between us is traditional 10-digit dialing although it is a SIP trunk - not that she (or my family) notice any difference. Yeah, I really like the embedded systems approach to Asterisk, but there's a limit. Some hardware is just too constrained IMHO.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk on OpenWRT
It also installed just fine on a very flaky Dell router that came free with an order. Check out the OpenWRT site, they have a matrix of compatible routers.

It is best to get an old one. I am not positive that what I said above is totally correct as far as version or OS though, but OpenWRT has all the details there. I did a few tests running Asterisk for fun but was mainly looking at OpenVPN. I am sure you can search the wiki or google for real world stats. A little OpenVPN action, and no NAT.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk on OpenWRT
I have played with it a while ago on a WRT54GS, the old style, pre vers 4 or whenever they changed to two models, one running VxWorx and the other specified for Linux Enthusiasts. It is best to get an old one. I am not positive that what I said above is totally correct as far as version or OS though, but OpenWRT has all the details there. I did a few tests running Asterisk for fun but was mainly looking at OpenVPN. I am sure you can search the wiki or google for real world stats. A little OpenVPN action, and no NAT. It is a beautiful thing for a device that was ~$80 give or take back then. Thanks, Steve T On Fri, Jul 24, 2009 at 12:59 PM, Jeff LaCoursiere j...@jeff.net wrote: What router did you install it on?

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk on OpenWRT
I have installed them on a Linksys WRT54GL or WRT54GS v4/v3/v2/v1.1 devices. My mother-in-law's runs fine and she doesn't notice the difference. I know that is very subjective but to be honest I never looked at it for more than home-use/1 line applications. Can't say I've had a problem that caused me to look at its load level transcoding. I can tell you she has been on the phone and received VM at the same time so there are two concurrent sessions. It means she keeps her number even though she moved to a retirement home that is out-of-area-code so she's more than happy. Plus calling between us is traditional 10-digit dialing although it is a SIP trunk - not that she (or my family) notice any difference. -dbc.
