[asterisk-users] Atlanta Asterisk User's Group Conference Tonight Tuesday, August 26th at 7PM EDT

[Asterisk]

AAUG Meeting - Tuesday, August 26th at 7PM EDT August 26th, 2008

Here’s how to participate on Tuesday, August 26th at 7PM EDT.

The audio portion of the program will be available via a conference
bridge at 1-404-492-8060.

The shared desktop is available using a Java enabled browser at
“http://callin.xelatec.com/vnc” with a password of “aretta”.

Our agenda will be general announcements, news, a list of upcoming
presentations and John Mullinex will tell us what he’s learned from a
sample of the new Sangoma USB FXO device. Also we will describe the
popular methods to dial into the conference bridge directly via SIP or
IAX and not through the telephone network!

Connecting to the Atlanta Asterisk Users Group Conference Bridge via the
Internet

The following methods enable you to connect to the conference bridge
over the Internet without using a public telephone number or line.

The first method is to configure routes in your Asterisk server
dialplan. For example, the following entry in
/etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf and context [from-internal-custom]
(or the equivalent file and context for your Asterisk system) routes
calls dialed to extension 6345 to the AtlAUG Conference Bridge via a SIP
connection over the Internet.

exten => 6345,1,Set(CALLERID(all)=YourName<6785551234>)
exten => 6345,n,Dial(SIP/2284 at pbx.aretta.net)

And this next entry in the same file routes calls to extension 6446 to
the Conference Bridge but via an IAX2 trunk.

exten => 6346,1,Set(CALLERID(all)=YourName<6785551234>)
exten => 6346,n,Dial(IAX2/guest at pbx.aretta.net/2284)

You can also use the free Zoiper (http://www.zoiper.com) softphone
client on your computer to connect directly to the Conference Bridge
without going through an Asterisk server.

Of course you must first have Zoiper installed and then add a new Zoiper
IAX account with Account name ‘AtlaugConf’, Server Hostname
‘pbx.aretta.net’, Username ‘guest’, and no password or other
information. Select Show Advanced Options for that account and uncheck
“Register on startup’. Apply the new account and click OK. Then from the
main user interface, select the new account, go off hook and dial
‘2284′. That should connect you to the conference.

Finally, for those really brave souls, you can also connect using the
ITAD number of ‘2284*455′. ITAD details are available at
“http://www.freenum.org/cookbook/”.
