<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>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<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
