Here's my situation. I'm a programmer at the ISP I work for and my supervisors have seen fit for me to become an administrator for our new ventures into the VoIP world. All of us are relatively new at this jazz, though naturally my higher ups have more experience than I. We're toying with VoIP a lot in the office, and I personally feel like I'm fairly far behind them in knowledge of it all.
<br><br>I've done some studying the past day or two, and I grasp the basic principles of VoIP, Asterisk, and SER/OpenSER, and about 5% of the hardware involved in all of it (programmer; software guy). I'd like to catch up to them as quickly as possible so I can be of most use. Here's what I have available to me, and what I've done so far:
<br><br>AVAILABLE:<br>- A box with OpenBSD (my preferred OS for most production servers)<br>- Asterisk installed on the box.<br>- One IP Phone<br><br>DONE:<br>- Installed Asterisk.<br>- Written this e-mail. :)<br><br>I'm wondering where to begin. I have Asterisk installed but don't know how to go about getting my IP phone to work with it. To start, I'd like to make calls only internally on my home network (not even screwing with my company's network yet; they're further along into configs than I want to get into just yet) to a soft phone that Ubuntu Dapper Drake (my OS at home) comes with.
<br><br>My question is this:<br><br>Where can I find good starter documentation(s) for my purposes?<br><br>Thank you,<br>David<br>
