[asterisk-users] SIP, Polycom, Asterisk - VPN
I am trying to configure the following scenario but have failed. Currently, I have an Asterisk box sitting on a Static Public IP address in my office. I have a remote office with 3 Polycom IP335s that are registering back to my local office's publically address Asterisk box. The remote office Polycom phones are getting IP information from an RV042 and using the local ISP for internet access. I want to set up a VPN on the remote side. Has anyone done this? Does it make sense to do this? Thanks, --E -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] SIP, Polycom, Asterisk - VPN
The easiest way to accomplish this is probably going to be to set up an asterisk server in the remote office and just use IAX to talk between the two boxes. We do VPN here for two phones but I can't really tell you all that you need to know.

Thanks for the reply! Why IAX over SIP?

Re: [asterisk-users] SIP, Polycom, Asterisk - VPN
IAX uses one port; SIP uses 2-4 per call. We use Polycom 550's to talk to an Asterisk 10.X box. Nothing special on the Asterisk side; just have to get your VPN to talk to the Asterisk network.

Nothing special on the Asterisk side; just have to get your VPN to talk to the Asterisk network. To be slightly pedantic SIP UDP generally uses a single port (5060). RTP generally uses two ports (one for RTP and one for RTCP). If you have multiple media streams (one audio and one video) those are two RTP sessions, so a total of 4 ports. If you have only an audio stream then that is a total of 2 ports. -- Joshua Colp Digium, Inc. | Senior Software Developer 445 Jan Davis Drive NW - Huntsville, AL 35806 - USA Check us out at: www.digium.com www.asterisk.org -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

I have used the WRT54G wireless router with one of the Linux firmwares. I have even run Asterisk on these little gems. Some SNOM phones have a Linux/OpenVPN firmware and you can actually bridge the WAN/LAN ports and use the phone as a gateway.
