Connecting to Asterisk boxes together using IAX2. Basically, I'm creating two IAX2 connections between two boxes, one in each direction. The code below goes in iax.conf - or if you've been following my other posts iax_local.conf. Replace the fields listed below with whatever ... http://www.loomiverse.net/2008/10/23/configuring-asterisk-part-3 In Part 1 I looked at how to add extensions to an Asterisk configuration. If all went well, we have two extensions 1000 and 1001 which are able to dial each other and not much else While this is incredibly exciting - for about 5 minutes - it isn't actually ... http://www.loomiverse.net/2008/10/09/configuring-asterisk-part-2 Tools like Asterisk@HOME and FreePBX make the process of configuring an Asterisk box incredibly easy. They have pretty web-based user interfaces, downloadable modules, and generally just make things easy to do. If anyone has managed to get a package to run freePBX on OpenWRT sorted, I'd love to ... http://www.loomiverse.net/2008/09/29/configuring-asterisk-part-1 I've been running Asterisk on my desktop for about a year now. A few months ago I acquired two Accton MR3201A's configured for OpenMesh using OpenWRT. I finally got around to installing Asterisk on one of them a couple of weeks ago, and this is a record of how ... http://www.loomiverse.net/2008/09/27/openwrt-and-asterisk-my-new-pabx Two days to go before I have to spend 20,000 hours on a plane, and I'm getting a cold. It isn't The Flu, this is an important distinction. I am not getting the flu. We went shopping this morning, just some last minute things, Australia/US power adapter and ... http://www.loomiverse.net/2008/07/14/urrrrrrgh So Yay! My gallery2 gallery is "integrated" with WordPress.  Which means that those pictures on the right of the page are grabbed straight from the gallery.  Apparently, I can also stick a picture in here 2647 http://www.loomiverse.net/2008/07/09/gallery2-integration I've had to push myself to start a new blog for the HOPE conference, I'm not sure why, but it seems like a good way to keep a record of where my head is while I'm there. Since I have a LiveJournal and Blogger Account that I don't use, I started ... http://www.loomiverse.net/2008/07/09/so-this-is-it You'd think that making a virtual machine these days would be easy.  I already use VMWare to run a XP machine for testing.  But like everything else, I prefer to avoid proprietary technology - even if it is free.  So what are the alternatives?Well XEN is supposed to be the ... http://www.loomiverse.net/2007/07/22/machines-virtual Yesterday, I bought a Linksys PAP2T 2 port analogue telephone adapter. It is the beginning of my asterisk box.  Now to build the box itself.  at the moment, I'm planning to build it on a VM, since I imagine that 2 extensions and a couple of trunks can't be that resource hungry. I'll probably end up being proven wrong. http://www.loomiverse.net/2007/07/20/it-begins I got a call from the camera shop today. I didn't actually answer it, so I didn't actually speak to anyone. I did get very excited when I realised I had missed a call, and then recognised the phone number. You see I'm waiting for my new ... http://www.loomiverse.net/2004/11/10/exciement
