[asterisk-users] A few (simple?) questions

[Brynjolfur Thorvardsson]

Hi Carlos and thanks for your answer. To begin with: I am a noob in all telephony/asterisk/ror fields, coming from a Classic ASP/MS background! I've been nosing around in RoR and Asterisk for the last month or so and have managed to create several RoR sites and to get an Asterisk server up and running so me and my boss can phone each other using softphone on a smartphone.

So, yes it's going to be fun! And again, thanks for your answer.

I've been saddled with recreating a running Asterisk PBX setup (with Ruby on Rails). Due to some wrangling between my client and the original developers I am not able to talk to the developers themselves but have been given full SSH access to their servers!

Jumping in without documentation or help when there is a questionable relationship between the client and developer...this should be a lot of fun.


The system offers PBX services to  ~10 small firms and connects via a SIP trunk to a Telecoms company.

Sounds way over-built, but since we don't know the intent of the architecture nor all the features expected, hard to say.

-          STUN server - is it necessary (given that there are many free STUN servers on the Internet), and why two?

I don't believe so.

-          Why have a separate Asterisk server for the trunk?
Can't think of any reason.

-          Is the Apache Message Queue server necessary?
"Necessary" is not something that can be answered.  In their environment as programmed, probably.  In general, can an Asterisk server run without it?  Yes.  A low-end single x86 server can easily support hundreds of endpoints and dozens of concurrent calls, with all Asterisk services running on a single server.
Do you have Asterisk expertise already?  RoR, SQL, other telephony...?
