[Asterisk-Users] Re: Asterisk WITH Swyx... Any Idea?

[Roberto Piola]

We use asterisk coupled with swyxIt via a gnugk (version 2.0.8) and oh323
module: both swyx server and asterisk register on the gnugk. asterisk
receives sip calls from the exterior and routes them to the gk. I've set up
a prefix on swyx so that if I prepend +996 to my phone numerb, the call
gests routed to asterisk (which, in turn, strips the prefix and sends the
call via iptel or iaxtel. H.323 phones register on swyx. SIP phones register
directly to asterisk)

Yes!! It s just for testing Purpose.

I?m Tryin to connect the PBX without using ISDN or any
Hardware. i already have a Nikotel Account to Be
reachable under a regular phone number. but this is
not possible to achieve with Swyx because it is based
on 
H.323 and not SIP.

Already Done for testing purpose. * with OH323 Plugin,
works with 12 PC Clients (using
Xlite(SIP),OpenPhone(H.323),IAXCOMM)and can also make
calls to PSTN and be reachable from outside the LAN.
The Problem is,that i cant use the Swyxit/Handsets or
the Swyx IP-Phones.
