For example, > > register => 21103:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/1000 > register => 21104:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2000 The register line tells asterisk to contact the specified server and "register" the availability of the user(extension) specified. This means any calls destined for that user will be passed to your asterisk. The /1000 tells asterisk to direct any calls to 21103 to extension 1000.

Why we need > secret and username in [fwd.pulver.com] since we > already provide it in "register => > 21104:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2000"? If asterisk is registering succesfully, you should be able to *receive* calls from fwd. At this point, you need to define an outbound entry for each fwd number you want to create calls as. If you only need for your outbound calls to appear as from one fwd number, a single entry will do. I'm currently referencing: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+config+sip.conf Create a type=peer section for each fwd number you'll be dialing out as. You will only need this in your Dial() line. I have only a single fwd number right now, so I have not built outbound contexts for more than one fwd number. You'll need to ask for that specifically from the list. - Andrew Thompson http://aktzero.com/ http://www.retirequickly.com/43653 ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Andrew, Thanks for help. But you still doesnot answer my questions. Please see the inline comments. BTW, I use "Getting Started with Asterisk" as reference (http://www.automated.it/guidetoasterisk.htm#_Toc49248767).

In my case, each SIP phones register with FWD, and was assigned a extension. I can put more register for each phone in sip.conf. For example, register => 21103:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/1000 register => 21104:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2000 My concern is how to setup the [fwd.pulver.com] [fwd.pulver.com] type=friend secret=mypassword username=my fwd number host=fwd.pulver.com since there are two FWD numbers, should I set secret and username for each SIP Phones? Also, you still doesnot answer my question, what is the use of section [fwd.pulver.com]? Why we need secret and username in [fwd.pulver.com] since we already provide it in "register => 21104:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2000"? > > 2) Why we need a section in the sip.conf for the > > proxy, say, Free World Dialup's fwd.pulver.com?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Newbie's doubt on sip.conf
3) Can anyone explain the meaning of "peer", "friend", "user" in more details? For each case, what is the role of Asterisk in SIP world, a UA, a proxy, or others? In some diagrams, Asterisk take's the role of a SIP Proxy, but it is *not* a SIP proxy by design. Asterisk answers SIP calls and originates calls as just another SIP user agent client/server. Asterisk is also acting as a SIP registrar, keeping track of where SIP ua's are so we can place calls to them ([peer]s). /O ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Hmm, let me give brief examples of things you can do(* = asterisk): sip phone -> * -> sip phone sip phone -> * -> hardline adapter -> PSTN or T1/E1/BRI/etc. sip phone -> * -> other voip service(fwd, iaxtel, etc) sip phone -> * -> other voip service(voicepulse, nufone, iconnecthere) -> PSTN Most(if not all) of these can be turned around so that they are still valid reading right to left. - Andrew Thompson http://aktzero.com/ http://www.retirequickly.com/43653 ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
