Hi Everyone,
I'm teaching myself and digging into Asterisk, freepbx etc and setting up a basic system.
My setup:
- Old PC with freepbx installed
- Hardware card 2 fxs and 2 fxo (DAHDI) - working.
- 1 PSTN line (+27 21 000 0000)
- 2 PSTN handsets (motorola + unbranded)
- 1 softphone (Linphone on my droid)
I followed the freepbx wiki guide to the "creating extensions" part, but am kinda stuck and need some help.
The guide keeps referring to commercial modules etc. and I'm not
really sure where to go from here other than buying stuff I should be
able to do without at this time.Basically what I want is to at least be able to pick up the phone and
dial out with the PSTN line, or have my motorola ring when somone dials
in to the PSTN line.My hardware card is working. Asterisk sees the card and the 2x fxs
and fxo ports. I have my phone line connected to port 1 (fxo), and my
motorola connected to port 3 (fxs).Please correct me if I'm wrong but the general outline of what I need to do is as follows:
- Set up extensions (one to be used for phone line, one to be used for Motorola handset, one for softphone)
- Set up phone (???)
- Map phone to extension (???)
- Set up trunk (???)
- Set up dialing rules - inbound, outbound routes (e.g from incoming, ring extension for Motorola?)
Is there anything else I'm missing?
I'd appreciate if someone could help me with the steps. I have no
issue doing my own research, but at the moment I'm a bit overwhelmed
with all the info and in need of simplicity and direction before I can
figure out what I need to dig in to next.Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
