Ok, I've been messing with asterisk for the last 3 weeks and I just
can't seem to figure this out.<br>
<br>
Everything I've read seems to state that asterisk will work "out of the
box" with only minor config changes when being used only for SIP to SIP
calls.<br>
<br>
The problem I am having is I cannot make outbound calls or receive
incoming calls over my sip-provider. Asterisk registers properly, and
internal communications seem to work fine.<br>
<br>
I have, at one time or another, had either outgoing only, or incoming
only, but never both at once. Unfortunately, I didn't know what I did
to make either of those work since I had made multiple adjustments and
had done a reload after each change. For some reason, the incoming
calls only started working after restarting the computer so it could
have been any of 50 things I had changed.<br>
<br>
I am back to the sample config files. Is there any kind of walkthrough
for a sip only setup? I have seen SIP only touched on briefly, with
most of the documentation leaning torwards IAX communications.<br>
<br>
Here is what I am trying to accomplish:<br>
<br>
<ol>
<li>Asterisk server registers with our sip-provider for sip to pstn
local and international calls</li>
<li>Internal extensions 0, 200-210 can call eachother (of course)</li>
<li>Extensions 200-205 are in a Tech Support Queue</li>
<li>Extensions 206-210 are in a Customer Support Queue</li>
<li>Extension 0 is the operator or menu system (I guess this would be
s?)</li>
<li>All phones (for now) are x-ten soft phones</li>
<li>Each extension has voice mail</li>
<li>When a customer calls during office hours, they are presented
with a menu, press 1 for CS, press 2 for TS, or dial the extension you
wish to reach, etc...</li>
<li>Calls can be forwarded to other extensions</li>
<li>On-hold music is implemented</li>
</ol>
I can handle doing everything on the list except for #1.<br>
<br>
If anyone can offer any suggestions, it would make me, and my boss,
very happy.<br>
<br>
Thanks in Advance<br>
