I have been working through the tutorial in the Van Meggelen book and can't get a registered SIP phone. I'm using 1.6, on Fedora 9 and a SPA941. I also tried an Engenius Wi-Fi SIP phone. Both can be pinged from the Linux Computer but neither give indication of being registered to Asterisk. This was supposed to be a no-brainer, and I don't know what to do to narrow the problem down. The Linux firewall is off. SELinux is in permissive mode. What sort of Asterisk commands should I be doing to test this? Or what other things? Ethereal snooping?

Re: [asterisk-users] Setting up Asterisk to make calls using a VoIP provider and the regular phone line
VoIP usage was legalized in India a few months back - http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/India+TRAI+Press+Release+legalizing+VOIP. Please let me know if I misunderstood it. BTW, I don't think I need a VoIP hardphone, the FXS slot would enable any ordinary phone to connect to Asterisk. Again, please let me know if I'm mistaken. Thanks.

Hi Jai, If I understand correctly then the DID will enable to call me on the hardphone connected to the Asterisk. Will it also enable me to call out using the PSTN line at my home in India from Canada? Thanks.

Re: [asterisk-users] Setting up Asterisk to make calls using a VoIP provider and the regular phone line
Hitesh, Not sure if I understand your question. Let me try to explain again, There are two thing in Asterisk, Origination and Termination. Origination: You have a DID (Virtual Phone line say from LA), people call that Virtual line from anywhere in the world, and you will receive that call to your asterisk server. based on yoru dialplan rules Asterisk sends that call to your VoIP Phone registered on your asterisk. (Or regular phone connected through VoIP ATA Ex GrandStream ATA). Termination: Your VoIP phone registered on Asterisk wants call some number anywhere in the world. Now your asterisk needs a termination provider, who will receive call from your asterisk and will terminate that call to the destination number. Or you have two phones registered on your asterisk one in India, one is Aanada, they can call each other without any origination or termination provider. The point is that origination and termination can be done through FXO OR FXS card OR you can tie up with some one like www.didforsale.com who can do this over the internet. 2nd one is always more cheaper, more options, much easy to configure and troubleshoot.

So, that's going to be a problem, unless your telco is willing to help you at least in that respect, and let you send a valid SMSC's phone number as caller ID.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] setting up asterisk as an sms central?
Well, it depends what country you're in and what kind of protocols you are using. Here in the US, I prefer to *not* use asterisk and use the perl module Net::SMPP to handle my SMS traffic between my gateway/aggregator and the carriers SMSC. It's somewhat easier to configure with special services, and database application. You could also take a look at a peice of software called Kannel, which handles SMS aggregation. However, if you are in Europe you should probably be able to get a fixed-line SMS service, and use the Asterisk cmd SMS: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+cmd+Sms Cheers, -- Tom, On 9/29/05, Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: yes On 28. sep. 2005, at 15.54, Tom Hayden wrote: You're going to need to explain a little more.

No worries. You are in for a treat as Asterisk is a killer app that can do many things. The thing to remember is that it will take some reading and testing to get things the way you want so don't get discouraged when you have to read a billion pages and search the internet for answers. When you do get it setup right, it works great and is far cheaper than traditional PBX systems.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Setting up asterisk for one user in private ipNAT.
To help clearify for those that don't have a good understanding of the tcp-ip protocol, consider this: - sip and rtp use the udp protocol (not tcp) - all sip boxes (regardless of whether the box is a phone or *) _listen_ on udp port 5060. (What udp port is used as the _source_ port when sending call setup data to the _destination_ port of 5060 is irrelavent. It can be any udp port.) - * and _all_ phones (regardless of soft or hard) communicate the call setup info across udp port 5060. - you can have 100's of phones and multiple asterisk boxes all using udp port 5060 as the protocol stack will keep track of each ip address and port number. No conflicts whatsoever. - * and all sip phones will negotiate an rtp port over the sip 5060 channel. * might pick udp port 12345 while the phone might pick udp port 23456. Once both ends have negotiated the rtp ports, audio is transported across those ports only (not the udp 5060 control port). Hmm... For outgoing connections (from the softphone) that's true, but if you want asterisk to send a call to the softphone the default would be to send it to port 5060 (which is already taken by asterisk). If the softphone is setup to register to asterisk on another port, there should be no problem. At least this is how I thought it worked ... -Original Message- that isn't quite how ports work.. True, asterisk listens for udp connections on 5060. But the softphone won't make its outgoing connection on 5060. The OS will automatically choose an unused port number for the outgoing connection. So (for example) you might have the softphone talking on port 23107 to asterisk on 5060, and asterisk on 5060 talking back to the softphone on 23107. No port conflict. Now one place where you could have conflict is if asterisk is trying to use your soundcard for its console.

So (for example) you might have the softphone talking on port 23107 to asterisk on 5060, and asterisk on 5060 talking back to the softphone on 23107. No port conflict. Now one place where you could have conflict is if asterisk is trying to use your soundcard for its console. Then the softphone client may have trouble getting the soundcard port opened.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Setting up asterisk for one user in private ip NAT.
I've never tried softphones on Linux, but my guess is that since you run kphone and asterisk on the same server you get a port conflict. If the client uses port 5060 (default sip port) it would defenitely have problem connecting to an asterisk on the same port. Maybe you can change the kphone settings to use some other port or something :) /Anders -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alex Polite Sent: den 18 december 2004 14:53 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Setting up asterisk for one user in private ip NAT. Hi. I've just bought SIP telephony service from a Swedish telco. I've managed to make and receive calls with kphone. Now I want to set up asterisk to be able to add fancy features like voice mail and recording conversations. But first I have to get the basic setup right. I'm running asterisk and kphone on the same machine, behind at NAT-router. When I make a call (from my regular phone) to the SIP-number I get a busy signal and I see my regular phone number in the debug output of Asterisk. I guess that means I'm doing something right. The problem now is that I can't get kphone or linphone to connect to asterisk. Trying to connect from kphone to asterisk does not generate any messages in the asterisk debug output. Non what so ever. Which has me thinking that ip might be something with the hostnames/ip-addresses that's not right? What does bindaddr do? I've tried changing it to my private IP but that doesn't make any difference. I know that I'm not being very specific in my questions but I feel that I need some handholding here. Some tests that I can run, for example, to find out if my Asterisk setup is kosher. So, will someone please hold my hand in this scary land of VOIP?

It now has a public IP and only the client is behind a NAT.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Setting up Asterisk with fwd

It seems to connect but that's about it. If I try to dial into it from another fwd # it says user is not online. In sip.conf I have the following added: register = xx:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/489125 Replace 489125 with your extension in extensions.conf. I suppose that's your FWD number... If that's also your extension, it is alright. [fwd.pulver.com] I believe this shouldn't match a hostname... Because you'll probably have a problem in extensions.conf... change it to FWD or whatever you find more appropriate. type=friend secret=xxx username=xx fromuser=xx fromdomain=fwd.pulver.com host=fwd.pulver.com dtmfmode=inband nat=yes canreinvite=novv Is there something wrong with this? Why isn't it signing into fwd? type in the CLI: sip show registry ...and see if it is registered. Also, I wanted to set it up so I could dial 8 + fwd # and have it call out using this, but it doesn't appear to work. Apparently this Asterisk stuff is harder than it looks :) exten = _8.,2,Dial(SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/$(EXTEN),20,tr) _8.,2,Dial(SIP/{$EXTEN:[EMAIL PROTECTED],20,tr) here is where assigning a real hostname in a sip.conf entry might give you a headache... Thanks in advance for any help! You're welcome. But you made some basic mistakes. You should really take a look at the asterisk wiki. That's very helpful, and even has a working FWD example. The handbook 2nd edition draft is also a very good start material. Hope I could help...

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Setting up Asterisk with fwd
The other thing you'll probably want is a insecure=very in your [fwd] section of sip.conf - This caught me out the other day, but was documented on the wiki.
