You should read the book "Asterisk The Future of Telephony".
It is available for free download.  Search for "AsteriskTFOT.pdf"
Also, http://www.voip-info.org/ is a good resource for information.

The Asterisk ebuild is pretty good.  It sets everything up for
you, you just have to edit your config files.  It's not something
you can do in 10 minutes.  I'd say the complexity level is about
on par with Apache.

You also might need telephony hardware depending on what you are wanting
to do with the system. Digium - among others - will sell you this hardware.

You could join the #gentoo-voip channel on Freenode. They've got an
overlay and maybe some links to good tutorials or a project webpage.

Asterisk works great on just about all linux distros... To install asterisk
please refer to the download instructions listed on asterisk.org.  They are
very simple and provide you with what dependencies you need.

Re: [gentoo-server] ASTERISK

Unfortunately, I would completely disagree with Mark on this... ATFOT is a
great book, however it is a bit dated.  And as for asterisk ebuilds...
forget it... they are still running out of 1.0 when 1.2 has been out for
almost a year and 1.4 is on it's way into beta.  

Download the source... compile and install it...

You need the following packages:

ncurses
openssl
zlib
bison

Then download all the necessary 1.2 packages and...

 # cd zaptel-1.2
 # make clean; make install
 # cd ../libpri-1.2
 # make clean; make install
 # cd ../asterisk-1.2
 # make clean; make install

Re: [gentoo-server] ASTERISK

I am sorry, I ment to give a good reference after i said that ATFOT wasn't
very helpful.  Probably the best site for information on Asterisk is
http://www.voip-info.org, however it is HUGE... you may find it a bit more
helpfull to start with http://www.asteriskguru.com. (there tutorial on
slackware is very complete and can be modified for gentoo) When in doubt most
things can be found by a really good google search...

ie:  asterisk dialplan howto

I may be wrong, but

It depends what kind of PSTN lines they are. Some kind of analogue card
if they are analogue lines
(http://www.digium.com/en/products/hardware/tdm400p.php) or a digital
card if they are ISDN
(http://www.digium.com/en/products/hardware/b410p.php). Just remember
that the links I have pasted are both quad (4) port cards.

Hi!

Now i am thinking on maybe i should use a VOIP server at our company.
But the big problem is we use mobil phones (not hand typed, it is desk
typed mobile phones, looks exactly like a normal analogue or ISDN
phone), so to change them to VOIP based phones we need mobile adapters
into the VOIP server. I tryed to look on the Internet some month ago,
but i didnt find any mobile adapter.
Can u help me what can i use?

thank you,
tsabi

Correct... however it is masked by keyword and contains a significant bugs
that were introduce in 1.2.10..

the default installation of asterisk is 1.0.11.

There are several "cordless" phones that are native SIP, however they are
quite pricey.

Here are some of the ones currently on the market:

Actually we're not in much disagreement, I know the book is out of date,
and in fact, it's not really that good (the tutorial is weirdly non-linear
and I was aghast at some of the errors in the chapter on traditional
telephony) but it does have an informative tutorial that is still probably
of value to novices.

And yeah, I guess I forgot to mention that if you're going to use the
ebuild, you should use the masked version (which is basically current).

Re: [gentoo-server] ASTERISK

[Mark Rudholm]

Ugh.  You're right.  Yet another important piece of software I have
to manage without the convenience of Portage.  :(

My TDM400, despite being very new, was affected by the bug that older
ones had in which they'd change their PCI ID sometimes after a power
cycle.  I also had to modify the zaptel driver to support pulse dialing
(I have a collection of vintage phones).  So I guess it's not really
that big of a deal.

One of these days I need to explore the possibility of getting
zaptel to decode coin tones (1700+2200Hz) so I can cancel my
(expensive) coin line and move my Western Electric 2C2 to
Asterisk.  Coin relay control isn't a problem, so the only
remaining hurdle is the coin detection.

Re: [gentoo-server] ASTERISK

[Sean Cook]

To be quite honest, I have abandoned the Digium hardware across the board
for analog.  I have gone to the Sangoma A200.  I can buy a card without echo
cancellation and if the quality is sub par on the line (as they generally
are), and add a module to the A200 and have hardware echo cancellation.

Sure it is a pain to recompile wanpipe every time zaptel comes out with a
new release, but the granular configuration is worth it...

as for the coin phone, just take a sip phone and drop in  into a calling

to charge the card then what you get from the call...

Oh, no, this payphone is not for making money, this is a decorative
piece in my home.

A friend of mine has a picture of a WE 2C2 on his website:
http://www.stromcarlson.com/payphones/snfcca001.jpg  (the one on the
left)  Very nice brushed stainless steel flush-mount.  One of the
nicest-looking coin phones ever made.
