GENERAL INFORMATION
Asterisk is an extremely powerful piece of open source software which allows you to run a full-featured software based PBX on your computer.

Asterisk is extremely powerful and versatile, but requires dedication to get it up and running. Asterisk is NOT plug and play software; and because of its extremely versatile nature is typically difficult for first-time users to setup.

Below we have listed resources to help you in configuring Asterisk; as well as a basic setup guide for Asterisk. Because of the complexity of Asterisk we cannot provide detailed support in helping you get Asterisk running; but you can find help from many Asterisk experts in the resource list below.

Configuring the Asterisk 1.6

The instructions below are meant to assist you with the basic configuration of asterisk. If you wish to perform more complicated configurations please view the asterisk documentation above and the asterisk forums.

We recommend that you read each step through in its entirety before performing the action indicated in the step. We also recommend that you check which version of Asterisk your PBX is based on; as there are many significant changes between each revision of asterisk. To check which version your PBX is based on, please log into your PBX's command line interface, and execute the command "show version" or "core show version" you should see an output similar to the following:

Asterisk 11.4.0 built by root @ server on a i686 running Linux on 2013-05-31 09:46:40 UTC

STEP 1 Setup trunk and global options
Edit the sip.conf file with your favorite text editor and make the following changes:

  • Add/change the [general] section with the following parameters:
    [general]
    dtmfmode = rfc2833
    context=from-callcentric
    srvlookup=yes
    register => 1777MYCCID:[email protected]
    session-timers=refuse
    

  • Add the following section to define the Callcentric trunk/peer:
    [callcentric]
    type=peer
    context=from-callcentric
    host=sip.callcentric.net
    fromdomain=sip.callcentric.net
    defaultuser=1777MYCCID
    fromuser=1777MYCCID
    secret=SUPERSECRET
    insecure=port,invite
    canreinvite=no
    videosupport=no
    disallow=all
    allow=ulaw
    

  • Add an extension to handle calls to/from your SIP phone. This is just a sample. Refer to Asterisk documentation and your SIP phone documentation for details. 123 is the extension of your phone.
    [123]
    context=to-callcentric
    type=friend
    defaultuser=123
    secret=PASSWORD
    host=dynamic
    
  • Make sure to save your changes once done.

STEP 2 Configuring inbound call handling
Edit the extensions.conf file with your favorite text editor and make the following changes:

  • Add the following section to route calls FROM Callcentric TO your SIP phone with extension 123:
    [from-callcentric]
    exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/123)
    

  • Add the following section to route calls FROM your SIP phone TO Callcentric:
    [to-callcentric]
    exten => _XX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@callcentric)
    
  • Make sure to save your changes once done. If necessary restart, or start the asterisk server using the proper command, /etc/init.d/asterisk restart, restart asterisk... etc.

STEP 3 Connect to your Asterisk PBX and verify connections
Use the IP address or hostname for your PBX system along with 123 (the extension created earlier which is the username) and the password for the 123 extension to connect to your PBX system.

  • Connect to the asterisk console by running the following from the command line:
    asterisk -r
    


  • Verify that Asterisk is registered to Callcentric with the console command 'sip show registry'
    *CLI> sip show registry
    
    Host                    Username      Refresh State
    sip.callcentric.net:5060    1777MYCCID    17      Registered
    

  • Verify that your SIP phone is registered to Asterisk with the console command 'sip show peers'
    pbx*CLI> sip show peers
    
    Name/username   123/123
    Host            10.11.22.33
    Dyn Nat ACL     D
    Mask            255.255.255.255
    Port            5060
    Status          Unmonitored
    

    If you see Host as "(Unspecified)" and Port as "0", then your SIP phone is not configured correctly.

  • Disconnect from Asterisk by typing exit. Asterisk will remain running in this case.

STEP 4 That's it! You can now make a phone call
You can make a test call to 17771234567, or if you are signed up for one of Callcentric's rate plans you can place a call to a traditional landline or mobile phone by dialing either:
1 + the area code and number for calls to the US
Or
011 + the country code, area code, and number for calls worldwide (you may also use 00 instead of 011).

To test inbound calls from Callcentric to your Asterisk installation, follow the directions listed in this FAQ.
