Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk as Proxy and more device for a number
Well, my problem is, that Deutsche Telekom wants me to change my ISDN to VoIP... :( I must do that, since I have no alternative. No, German law says that there is a right to have a phone line, but that is not valid for an internet connection. Keep your BRI connections as long as possible. Well, I have now two VoIP-phones (Thomson ST2022 and KE1020A). I can configure my two numbers by Deutsche Telekom and I got now an extra number from Messagenet.it. Now the problems: 1) It seems that I can't configure my ST2022 to have two profiles and both are running on different servers 2) I want that when a number will be called, both phones rings I think, I need an Asterisk-Server between my phones and the VoIP-Provider, isn't it? A B2BUA (back-to-back user agent) like Asterisk can be very helpful, regardless of whether you add ISDN or not. Well, now the questions: am I right? Should I install an Asterisk on my PC to do that? Better install it on a dedicated server. At home, a Raspberry box might suffice. You might as well integrate it into your router, or parts of it (e.g. when using pfSense). And of course: how can I do that? How can I set up Asterisk to serve as proxy for these three numbers and send the calls to a number to both phones? By learning. It's fun. Start with something simple, e.g. with http://asteriskdocs.org/ .

If you want to go the Asterisk from scratch route, you would do well to pick up a book on the subject. Since you seem comfortable with English, Asterisk: The Definitive Guide is a good place to start. This will teach you how to build an Asterisk system from the ground up. Depending on what you want to do, this may also be overkill. There are Asterisk distributions that already come with a GUI front end that could make this all a lot easier to set up. AsteriskNow (includes Asterisk and FreePBX Gui) is a good choice as would be Elastix (Asterisk + FreePBX GUI + the Elastix GUI). These are often much easier to set up for the Asterisk newbie. Either of those should be able to easily handle what you want to do. Even if you do go the route of a pre-made distribution with a GUI, the Asterisk book is still useful to have. It really gives great insight into the software and will help if you ever have to troubleshoot from the command line.-- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

You should only need one Asterisk server to do what you want unless you just want to have one with the GUI and one for testing purposes. I would recommend starting with something newer than Ubuntu 10.04 as it is pretty much at its end of life. 14.04 would be a better choice at this point. Regardless of how you end up directing your incoming calls, that KE1020A phone is pretty old and it might be worthwhile to see about upgrading it to something newer. The Thomson ST2022 you have does seem to have the capability to have two lines on it. Haven't used one before, so hard to say how good it handles that. Whatever you do, though, having two identical phones will be helpful to you (and your wife) as you won't have to try to remember how each phone works and troubleshooting problems is easier if you can look at a phone that is working of the same model. There are a couple of ways you can approach directing your calls to the right outgoing provider. One would be to have two separate lines on your phone and just pick which one you want to use that will direct all calls to the right provider. If your calls follow a pattern (i.e. calls to this country go to this provider and calls to that country to to the other provider), you can have Asterisk recognize the pattern and automatically direct the calls for you. This is nice as others won't have to remember which line to use. Asterisk has built in forwarding capabilities by dialing the right feature code during a call to initiate a forward to another extension. Many phones also have this feature built in. I use Polycom phones and can transfer calls just by hitting the transfer button and dialing who I want to transfer to. I have used the HylaFax/IAXModem solution with a client and it worked fairly well. I will warn you that faxes over VoIP connections are inherently worse than over a regular phone line. They can be made to be almost as good or they can just be horrible, but either way, faxing is no fun, especially considering that the problems can be caused before the fax ever reaches your system. Hopefully your provider supports T.38 properly, in which case faxing will be much nicer.-- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk on Proxy
Hi Paul, Asterisk often uses a proxy for its calls. What kind of proxy do you have? Also, If you have the server setup for nat=yes in the [general] area then ALL calls will get nat'd regardless of their locality. The best place to put this stement is in the relevant part of the sip.conf file that deals with the devices you want to have nat'd. If you only want to nat devices from your office LAN but not devices or service providers out on the Internet then you need to do a bit more configuration. I've pasted my config file below for your perusal. I have phone handsets on the LAN but my phone provider is on the Internet. I don't nat internally but do externally. ; SIP Configuration for Asterisk ; [general] port = 5060 ; Port to bind to bindaddr = 192.168.201.15 ; Address to bind to localnet = 192.168.201.0/24 ; Internal NETWORK address ;externhost = g7ltt.dyndns.org ; Address for NAT'd SIP messages ;externrefresh = 10 externip = 68.196.143.250 nat = no srvlookup = yes ; Enable DNS lookups context = from-sip-external dtmfmode = inband disallow = all allow = ulaw allow = g726 allow = gsm allow = ilbc tos = lowdelay canreinvite = no pedantic = no videosupport = yes callerid = 9738281625 qualify = yes realm=g7ltt.dyndns.org ; put external SIP provider registration here register = user:@sip.broadvoice.com:password:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [2201] ; Mark's MDA type=friend host=dynamic context=from-sip-internal username=2201 secret=blah dtmfmode=rfc2833 mailbox=2201 disallow=all allow=gsm [2202] ; WiFi cordless type=friend host=dynamic context=from-sip-internal username=2202 secret=blah dtmfmode=rfc2833 mailbox=2202 callgroup=1 pickupgroup=1 [2203] ; type=friend host=dynamic context=from-sip-internal username=2203 secret=blah dtmfmode=rfc2833 mailbox=2203 callgroup=1 pickupgroup=1 [sip.broadvoice.com] ; main outgoing provider user=phone username=9738281625 type=peer secret=password nat=yes insecure=very host=sip.broadvoice.com port=5060 fromuser=9738281625 fromdomain=sip.broadvoice.com dtmfmode=inband context=enicommunications canreinvite=no authname=9738281625 qualify=1000 disallow=all allow=ulaw allow=g726 allow=ilbc You'll notice that nat=no is set in my [general] area. That means that unless I say otherwise all devices are considered local and so no nat required. In the [sip.broadvoice.com] area I turn on the nat. I think that in your case you do the reverse of this. I'm on the end of a cable modem and so I *should* use the externhost settings as my number could change dynamicly but as I've found that it never does save myself the DNS lookup. Hope this helps.

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk outbound proxy?
I am tired of nat tricks, and would really like to run ser on a system that straddles the internal and external network, and send all outbound sip traffic to it (it would also rtp proxy). This would also give the huge benefit of actually being able to implement SIP reinvites some of the time, even though the * server is behind a nat. I know there's no outbound proxy support in chan_sip (yet), chan_sip2 has not been updated in a while, and I am just wondring if anyone has done any tricks to try and make something like this work (like sending all outbound traffic to the proxy, and letting it figure out where its supposed to go - somehow)?

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk as proxy?
Hi, So it's like this. I've had siproxd working for me on an external host to which I've established a tunnel (my SIP client is behind a NAT gateway). Of course, I've got to have mailbox functionality at the very least, so a friend of mine told me about Asterisk, which I grabbed from the CVS and installed. However, I've got myself somewhat confused. Do I still tell my SIP client (SJPhone for the time being) to use siproxd as the proxy, or can/should Asterisk be a local (forwarding?) proxy on the NAT side of the tunnel? Basically, the network looks roughly like this, if it helps any: +-+ | siproxd |+ +-+| # | | | T (Internet) U | N | N ++ E | NAT-GW | L ++ | | # ++ ###| VPN-GW | ++ +-+ | +--+ | SJPhone |-+-| Asterisk | +-+ +--+ Hope someone can help.
