I have two Asterisk boxes installed but am not sure how to setup the configuration for what I want to do.
One box has two FXO cards in it that will connect two PSTN lines. I want to
have Asterisk transfer the incoming calls to the other box which has an FXS
card in it. That box should ring that call through to a handset attached to
the FXS card.
Probably the most common way to do this is with IAX forwards. Here is an example:
Location 1 IP address: 123.123.123.123 Location 2 IP address: 234.234.234.234
In iax.conf on my "1" box, I use: [ast2-in] type=user secret=pass2 context=my_context_on_2 disallow=all allow=ulaw
[ast2-out] type=peer secret=pass2 username=ast2 host=234.234.234.234 disallow=all allow=ulaw
In iax.conf on my "2" box, I use: [ast1-in] type=user secret=pass1 context=my_context_on_1 disallow=all allow=ulaw
[ast1-out] type=peer secret=pass1 username=ast1 host=123.123.123.123 disallow=all allow=ulaw
Then in extensions.conf, if I wanted to use 1XX extensions for Location 1 and 2XX extensions for Location 2, I could use something like this:
extensions.conf for Location 1:
exten => _2XX,1,Dial(IAX2/ast2-in:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/${EXTEN})extensions.conf for Location 2:
exten => _1XX,1,Dial(IAX2/ast1-in:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/${EXTEN})Be sure to restart asterisk on both machines after you do this (not just a reload).
BTW: If you are able to put the FXS card in the same machine as the one with the FXO's you can avoid a lot of potential problems, and the setup is a lot simpler.
