[Asterisk-Users] Re: Analogue telephone cards for the UK
Thanks for all the replies. Can someone tell me if it is possible to put two of these X100P cards into the same machine to order to gain access to two BT landlines ? Would it also be possible for someone to outline in a bit more detail the procdue for limiting which phones have access via the card as I am new to Asterisk. What happens when someone calls the number of the line the card is on - Do all phones ring or what happens ? Is that auto attendant thing a real possiblity. What I would idealy like is this... Welcome. If you know the extention you wish to call, press * now and then dial it. Otherwise, press 1 for Family A, 2 for Family B and 3 for Family C. If the user Presses 1, Press 1 for Person A, Press 2 for Person B. etc ? Is that possible ? Thanks, Paul. - Original Message - From: Paul Tyreman To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 09, 2004 10:07 PM Subject: Analogue telephone cards for the UK Hi, Does anyone know where I can get a telephone card that will fit into the PCI slot on my PC and work with the UK telephone system (BT) ? I would really like the retailer to be based in the UK if at all possible ? Also, is there any way to set up asterisk so that only certain phones can make external calls, but all phones can receive incoming calls if they are routed to that phones by some sort of auto attendant ? Thanks in advance, Paul.

I believe so although problems have been reported with certain motherboards - best to search this list before buying. Would it also be possible for someone to outline in a bit more detail the procdue for limiting which phones have access via the card as I am new to Asterisk. You need to define a context for outgoing calls which will include dial commands for the X100P. You then define additional contexts for local phones. Only those local contexts that include the outgoing context will be able to make outgoing calls. Start with a bare bones extensions.conf or you'll find * very hard going. What happens when someone calls the number of the line the card is on - Do all phones ring or what happens ? You define that in extensions.conf. Incoming calls will land in the context you specify in /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf Is that auto attendant thing a real possiblity. What I would idealy like is this... Welcome.

I would suggest getting an ISDN BRI line and an AVM Fritz card (using the chan_capi driver).. This will give you two lines onto which you can get 8 MSN's (an MSN is another number coming in on the same BRI).. You can setup Asterisk to route the calls to the correct phones or group of phones based on the number that was called.. If you are in the UK there are plenty of Fritz cards around and this method will also allow you to have CallerID if you want it where the analog cards have issues with CallerID..

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Analogue telephone cards for the UK
What I want to do is have the asterisk server sat in my house and used by my family to access the BT landline and to recieve calls made to that landline. If it is not possible to do the auto attendant thing then so be it, I will just have all phones in my house ring when a call is made on the BT line. That should be easy, right ? In addition to running the server just for my house, I want to have other memebers of my extendedfamilylink up to the server via their broadband connections so we can make free calls to each other over the internet connections. What I don't want is for other members of my family (who are not resident in my house) to be able to make calls on my BT landline, but I do want them to be able to makeunlimited calls to other extentions on the asterisk server. Since I already pay monthly for broadband, I am not very keen to start paying more for an IDSN line which will only be used for this project. I don't use / need caller ID on external calls, so thats not an issue. Does that all make sence ?

I would suggest you read the handbook and try and understand contexts, then you should have no problems from there..

I don't use / need caller ID on external calls, so thats not an issue. Does that all make sence ? yes - first choose the type of client your extended family will use. Then create an appropriate iax.conf or sip.conf and include entries for all authorised users. Create contexts for 'local' and 'extended-family users in extensions.conf. Assign users to either context as appropriate in sip.conf or iax.conf. Assign extensions numbers, set up Dial commands etc ... Most is explained in the asterisk manual or on the VoIP wiki.
