[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Newbie

[Fabian Borot]

Hello all
I have been learning * from almost 1 month now. It looks really powerfull. I
have some problem trying to find previous post, or solutions to common
problems, advice to newbies etc in this mailing list. There is no  a
forum-like tool to search thru the posts by keyworks for example. Please
correct me if I am wrong.
 
That is why I will post my questions here:
1- Transcoding: is this when you go from g711 to g729 for example? Or when
you go from SIP to IAx?
2- What is the best GUI tool to configure  * ?
3- Do I need to install a PCI (fxo or fxs) to have meetme, music onnhold
etc?
4- If I have a SIP device behind a firewall the supports SIP transformations
(sonicwall pro230) and the * is outside the firewall, do I have to open
ports 5060 anyway?
What about the audio?
 
Regards
 
Fabian
