Configuring Asterisk – Part 4

12 February, 2009 (10:41) | Asterisk, OpenWRT, VOIP | By: loom

So now we have some local extensions, a SIP connection to Pennytel and an IAX trunk to another trixbox. The the magic which ties this all together all happens in extensions.conf

As in my previous posts, I have created a file called extensions_local.conf under /etc/asterisk and included it in my extensions.conf file using

#include extensions_local.conf

This file is broken into a series of sections – called contexts.  There should be a section for each “context=” line in the sip_local.conf  and iax_local.conf files.

In my case, they are

  • from-internal
  • from-remote
  • incoming-call

Configuring Asterisk – Part 2

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 very useful. In this article, I’ll be adding the first of two Trunks to Asterisk.

Configuring Asterisk – Part 1

29 September, 2008 (20:43) | Asterisk, OpenWRT, VOIP | By: loom

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 hear about it. Until then though, it’s all done through the files. Which is not as difficult as you might imagine, once you get the hang of it.

OpenWRT and Asterisk – my new PABX

27 September, 2008 (12:09) | Asterisk, OpenWRT, VOIP | By: loom

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 I did it.

To give you an idea of the size of the MR3201, her is a picture of one

12933|300px

Yes, that little box really is running a full-blown PABX

Anyway, enough of that, how to set it up
