[asterisk-users] Asterisk-beginner : cannot make phonecalls usingAsterisk

[Noah Miller]

Let's just simplify this a LOT:

Your phones have no dialtone.  This means they are not registering
with asterisk.  I see in your sip.conf, for both you phones, you have:

host=X.X.X.X

If you specify an address here, your phones will not register.
Instead, to make your phones register, set it to:

host=dynamic

(It does not matter if the phones are configured dynamically via DHCP
or statically configured, but they do need to be configured to try and
register to asterisk)

For both phones, you might also want to add:

qualify=yes

This will monitor whether or not the phones are in contact with
asterisk.  You can view this with "sip show peers".

Once you've gotten the phones to register with asterisk, THEN try
having them call one another.
