[Asterisk-Users] Newbie - getting two local phones to communicate would be a good start :)

[John Coll]

Robert, OK :) I'll go there yet again tomorrow.

Do you know of a complete set of files and instructions that will work with
a most basic no-frills system - a basis that I can easily understand and
build on?  I just pray for the Nutshell Asterisk Handbook!

thanks again

john

John,
What is the dialparties.agi? You didn't mention that in your description
(or I missed it)

<john> Used in Zac's system - I've got the perl code and installed - seems
to work without complaint. nice :)

 I have used * with 2 GS phones with no problem.

My suggestion is to go back to the simple extensions.conf file  and try it
again.  Take out all of the fancy stuff until you get the basic phone
working.

If it still doesn't work then post all relevant parts of your
extensions.conf and any changes you made in sip.conf along with the trace.

My GS SIP.conf for one of the phones is:
[2001]
type=friend
username=2001
secret=test2
host=dynamic
context=local-extensions   <--this will probably be different in your setup

Extension.conf for ringing that phone is:
exten => 2001,1,Dial(SIP/2001,20,Ttr)
exten => 2001,2,Voicemail(u2001)
exten => 2001,102,Voicemail(b2001)
exten => 2001,103,Hangup

They probably aren't perfect but they do work.

Robert
