First
steps with Asterisk
Now Asterisk is installed and running so we are going to learn
with an example the first things we can do. In this example
we are going to create two new users with their extensions
and their voicemails.
1. Create 2 new SIP users.
For example users "20000" and "20100"
with passwords "a20000b" and "b20100a"
So we go to sip.conf file and we add the
following lines at the end of the file
[20000]
type=friend
secret=a20000b
qualify=yes
nat=no
host=dynamic
canreinvite=no
context=miprimerejemplo
mailbox=20000@miprimerbuzon
[20100]
type=friend
secret=b20100a
qualify=yes
nat=no
host=dynamic
canreinvite=no
context=myfirstexample
mailbox=20100@myfirstvoicemail
For further information about sip.conf file go to sip.conf
configuration .
2. Create the extensions for the 2 users
To create the extensions for the users we need to modify the
file extensions.conf. Iif we dial the number
20100 we should contact the 20000 user and if we dial the
number 20100 we should contact the user 20100. We also create
a special extension "30000" to access to the voicemail
main menu.
So we add the following lines at the end of the extensions.conf
file
[mifirstexample]
exten => 20000,1,Dial(SIP/20000,30,Ttm)
exten => 20000,2,Hangup
exten => 20000,102,Voicemail(20000)
exten => 20000,103,Hangup
exten => 20100,1,Dial(SIP/20100,30,Ttm)
exten => 20100,2,Hangup
exten => 20100,102,Voicemail(20100)
exten => 20100,103,Hangup
exten => 30000,1,VoicemailMain
For further information about extensions.conf file goto extensions.conf
configuration.
3. Create the voicemail fot the users
Now we create the voicemail for both users and give them a
password in the voicemail.conf file. We give 1234 password
to the 20000 mail and 4321 to the 20100 mail
[myfirstvoicemail]
20000 => 1234,Peter,peter@midomain.com
20100 => 4321,John,john@midomain.com
For further information about voicemail.conf file
go to voicemail.conf
configuration .
4. Restart Asterisk server
5. Configure a softphone
Now we configure one or two softphones and test to call each
other or to give messages at the voicemail when they are not
available. We also should call to 30000 number to hear our
messages. For further information about how to configure a
softphone (for example, sjphone) go to SJPHONE
configuration
