So basically enum is a facility which uses the dns to route calls in such a way that they bypass the regular PSTN system if an internet routing and supported protocol exists. for more information on ENUM visit http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcsearch.html and search for enum and e.164. Now the proper domain for enum is e164.arpa - and the respective assignments by the ITU of telephone delegations under e164.arpa has been at best very lame. As you can well imagine telephone companies have as a rule refrained from adopting e164 because as I have mentioned above e164 facilitates the bypassing of PSTN via the internet and that would of course mean lost revenue. Check out http://www.itu.int/osg/spu/enum/ for more info on the politics and bureacracy of enum. You can get information on enum assignments and registries at: http://www.ripe.net/enum/request-archives/ At you can see there are very few official enum registries - so I think what e164.org is doing in invaluable to the community. regards joe baptista ___ 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

You can configure things to have only a single voip URL reference, then anyone that dials your pstn numbers will be directed to that voip server, or in the case of businesses that want to list every method that they can be contacted by such as email, instant messaging they can, and at some stage in the future if fax machines get smart enough and their is an enum record on the number you're faxing they could email the fax instead of faxing it. The way I understand it is you pass it a phone number and it gives you a prefferred route to that number, which may be VOIP and may be POTS or from the looks of it MSN and lots of other things (including ldap???!!).

It's a DNS root, that Asterisk (via the EnumLookup application) can use. The EnumLookup() application will resolve the number to a dial() channel. ie: ; north america enum exten => _1NX,1,Playback(doing-enum-lookup) exten => _1NX,2,EnumLookup(${EXTEN}) exten => _1NX,3,BackGround(enum-lookup-successful) exten => _1NX,4,Dial(${ENUM},30,tr) exten => _1NX,5,Hangup exten => _1NX,6,Playback(enum-lookup-failed) exten => _1NX,7,Hangup To get * to resolve against e164.org, add: search => e164.org to /etc/asterisk/enum.conf. So yes Simon, if you called someone in Germany and it was the zone, your call would be switched over the 'net. If not, you could drop it to NuFone or some other carrier. > They use something called EnumLookup which I guess is some kind of > plugin/script.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] e164.org
Simon/Tony, Yes a number of people are using this, since it has been developed about 1 month ago 400+ asterisk users have registered. There have been a number of posts on the asterisk list about the e164 service. There will also be a client to divert calls from your asterisk to mobile or other numbers released in about 1 weeks time. Tony, as per you inference that e164 are up to something shady, you should talk to one of the founders Duane, he currently has about 5 open source projects, I've known him personally for about 3 years since he started a wireless mesh network here in Sydney, he has in a very short time frame given back to the asterisk community a number of initiatives, he is beyond reproach. Simon, you are right though, we need to get a 'tipping point' of users listed. Cheers, Dean -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Simon Dorfman Sent: Sunday, 23 May 2004 10:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Asterisk-Users] e164.org So I just saw this VoIP-centric article at slashdot (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/05/22/1840220) which mentions e164.org. It's a "non-profit public DNS root designed to map phone numbers to Internet protocols." Is anyone on this list actually using this? They have asterisk config instructions: http://www.e164.org/config.php I wonder if someone can help me understand this. Let's say I configure my asterisk box to use e164 and then I try to call a phone number in Germany. I'm in the U.S.A. So if the number I'm calling in Germany is registered in e164's dns, would my call be routed directly via their voip provider? Or directly to their asterisk box? And would it be free? If that's the case, it sounds kind of cool, but probably won't be much use until lots of people sign up. Any explanation appreciated. Thanks. Simon in New Orleans P.S.- Yes, I did read their FAQ. http://wiki.e164.org/moin.cgi/FrequentlyAskedQuestions ___ 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 ___ 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

From the looks of it, they're just a directory... it looks like their not running asterisk themselves. They use something called EnumLookup which I guess is some kind of plugin/script. If the number you're calling is in their database, it calls the VOIP number directly, otherwise it calls the POTS number It's an interesting idea. Of course having a huge database of names/addresses/phone numbers can be quite lucrative too. Tony -- Te audire no possum. Musa sapientum fixa est in aure.
