[asterisk-users] Bunch of set-up/usage questions (SLA, MWI, SMS proxy's, crypto, Fax, etc)
Howdy, Excuse the neophyte questions... I was wondering: (1) what's involved in setting up a call with encrypted media (I'm on a cable network and don't want my calls snooped); (2) is there a cheat-sheet for configuring Sipura handsets/hardphones like the SPA-942, and in particular for message-waiting indicator and shared-line appearances? (3) my PSTN service provider that I have SIP trunking to doesn't provide SMS service (yet or possibly ever)--is there a way to shop-out SMS for my associated numbers from someone else? I eventually hope to have a cell phone with dataplan only that I then do SIP-over-UMTS (like a Nokia E70 or E61i, for instance)... if I'm moving towards having a single number, then I figure text messaging should work regardless of the device I'm using (softphone on a laptop, VoWifi handset, or POE hardphone). Any service/any device, right? That's what it's all about. (4) I have an HP all-in-one officejet and a SPA-2000 (or is it an unlocked PAP2-NA?) that I can use for fax service, but was wondering if I could use my Asterisk box (it's a 400MHz Geode LX) as a fax server without too much impact.

MWI is easy... simply add a [EMAIL PROTECTED] setting to sip.conf for the phone. As far as shared-line appearances go, the only way I know of is to use the SPA-932 sidecar with the SPA-962 phone, as documented here: http://www.voipinfo.org/wiki/view/SPA-962 -- Jared Smith Community Relations Manager Digium, Inc. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

It does not seem to pick it up automatically from asterisk like many phones do. If you’re configuring a lot of similar handsets, consider using an autoprovisioning script - it'll save you a hell of a lot of time in the long run. Regards, Chris -- C.M.

Using IAX, it's pretty simple. See http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/IAX+encryption Jared, perhaps you could clarify something on that voip-info.org article. It claims that encryption only works for auth=md5. Does that mean that using a public/private key for authentication (auth=rsa) will *not* result in encryption when encryption=yes is set?

My main two issues are: (1) it's a pain not being able to stuff an XML file via http into a Sipura (I think you either have to use TFTP or else HTTPS), and (2) not having a single source of configuration state to put into the phones. I could grab state out of multiple places, but besides being messy, that also leads to things getting into disagreement when they are edited in one place but not others, etc. I've also not found a good cheat sheet that says what fields need to be set to what. I can do the scripting/programming no problem. What I don't have time for is the learning curve of figuring out from scratch what settings work best. I figure someone else out there has already done that quite effectively. -Philip ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
