Asterisk 1.6.1 on openSUSE 11.1 (Part 3)

To enable asterisk to communicate with PSTN lines we should have either a VOIP-PSTN gateway or FXO card. I will not explain about VOIP-PSTN gateway, there are some service providers out there who provides this service for their customers. In my work I use Digium TDM 410P with 4 FXO port per card. There are some alternatives in the market like Sangoma, Rhino, etc, the important is we should make sure that it works with Asterisk either with dahdi driver or zaptel/zapata driver. Also if possible select the card that already has hardware echo-canceler. Echo is a problem in voip communication, and if you have card with no echo-canceler than your server CPU will busy do the job.

Just remember that Digium cards are no longer use zapata driver, and some changes has been made to the configuration file name and location, /etc/zaptel.conf become /etc/dahdi/system.conf and /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf become /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf

In the client site you can use any SIP client hardwares or softwares. Ekiga and Emphaty are the good choice for you who prefer GTK libraries and KCall and KPhone are for you who prefer Qt libraries. IP phone hardware now widely available in the market from cheap to high price, you can select any brand as long as it compatibles with Asterisk. In this project I choose Polycom IP-330, I also used Grandstream and Aastra in other implementation. In this implementation the owner also ask me to use Polycom KIRK Wireless Server 600V3 with Polycom DECT Handset 3040.

Now the time for the dialplan, extensions.conf, which is the core of asterisk implementation, as an example let me introduce you with my configuration. It is a good habit to always backup default asterisk configuration, and start the new configuration from the scratch.

My extensions.conf is:

; extensions.conf - the Asterisk dial plan
; Created by M. Edwin Z for xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
; medwinz@gmail.com                        
;                                                           
; Static extension configuration file, used by              
; the pbx_config module. This is where you configure all your
; inbound and outbound calls in Asterisk.                    
;                                                            
; This configuration file is reloaded                        
; - With the "dialplan reload" command in the CLI            
; - With the "reload" command (that reloads everything) in the CLI
;

Prejudice and Privilege

Notes : It is not about Linux or other geeky stuff nor it is a political writing.  It was a day in the end of March 2007. I was just landed at the Franz Josef Strauss Munich Airport  around 10 AM in the morning. I had 5 days free time from my work in Astrium. At that time I was contracted by EADS Astrium  (now become Airbus Defense and Space) to work with them in Toulouse . I worked for one of their project. I flew from Toulouse where I worked to visit my brother family in Munich. Just after I picked up my luggage from the conveyor, three guys without uniform approaching me and asked me in English what i'm doing in Munich. I asked them if I did anything wrong. One of them told me that it was a random checked.     "Who are you guys? Sorry sir if it is a random check, why do you choose me instead of other?" I reply to their answer.  One of them said they're from the Munich immigration, and at the same time showing a gun behind his jacket. For my itinerar...

openSUSE.Asia Summit 2017

openSUSE.Asia Summit 2017 was held at University of Electro Communication (UEC) Chofu Tokyo on October 20-22, 2017. Japan is an advance developed country. Tokyo is a big city that can be compared with other major big cities in the world. While it is not the first time for me to go to Tokyo, I was so excited when the committee approved my talk, and openSUSE, as always, give me TSP to come to the event. During the preparation we have  online meeting every week since February 15, 2017. I was so happy to help the preparation of this yearly openSUSE Summit for Asia Region. Indonesia community also contribute to provide the online voting for the logo contest this year through the voting site . On the midnight on October 17, 2017 together with my friend Estu Fardani , I went to Tokyo. It was 7 hours long flight. While almost half of the flight was so bumpy because the initiation of Lan Cyclone , in the morning of October 18, 2017 I enjoyed the clear sky with the golden hour in Ja...

Asterisk 1.6.1 on openSUSE 11.1 (Part 1)

In several articles from this one, I will share some of my experience in preparing emergency operation center for disaster management in Indonesia. One of the software we implement in this project is Asterisk. I use Asterisk 1.6.1.5 from openSUSE repository. Actually I built a custom 64 bit appliance using KDE 4.3 from factory repositories through SUSE Studio and took Asterisk from openSUSE Build Service repositories. Well, it was a couple years ago (by the time I submit this post), but I believe it still useful for anyone learning Asterisk :-) I also used DAHDI (Digium Asterisk Hardware Device Interface), but during the implementation I have a problem with Indonesia PSTN telephone signaling so I should download dahdi trunk version from digium subversion server to make the digium card works. Here are the hardware I use: 2 HP tower based server with 8 GB memory (it is overkill actually, but the owner insist it) running in high availability. See the pictures here and here . 10 PS...
