Hi, a few pointers: 1. the wiki is your friend: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk lots of good stuff and good documents for getting started. If i were you i might reinstall asterisk from CVS just to make sure you have the latest version, and because this way you can learn about installing. In general asterisk usually runs on a machine without x-windows so doing everything from a command-line window might also help with the learning, rather than being dependent on prepackaging.
2. did you install asterisk with the example configs (make samples)? asterisk is dependent on a directory of config files (usually /etc/asterisk) and make samples populates the dir with some basic config files. 3.make sure that the x-lite that you want to register is defined in sip.conf and extensions.conf 4. configure x-lite using the following: http://www.astmasters.net/stuff/X-Lite-and-Asterisk.pdf 5. run asterisk in verbose mode (asterisk -r vvvvvgc) so you can see what's happening You're in for quite a learning experience...hope this has been helpful. good luck and good hunting. -yair On Fri, 25 Mar 2005 20:21:57 +1030, Trevor Tregoweth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi All, > > Thanks for the wonderful advice, and comments, and anything I might of > missed, and no offence taken. > > Yes I am new to this program, and Linux too, so this is a big learning > curve. > > I installed the software "Asterisk" which I believed it did straight from > the cd, rebooted the computers, and it installed more stuff. > > I am then lead to believe that I can use "x-lite" a phone interface, I > guess, to interact with the new pabx-asterisk system I now have. > > I can see from the gui interface that I am trying to make calls, but that's > about it, not much else is happening > > Well if you want to know much more, please ask, as I have no idea what I am > doing :) > > You help and direction would be much appreciated. > > Cheers > Trevor > > _______________________________________________ > Asterisk-Users mailing list > Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com > 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 Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
