Asterisk 1.8 package

pkwong

Just wondering.. what are the chances of 2 features..

1. A show Iax trunks feature (or iax peers)
2. The ability to route incoming traffic directly to a sip trunk that has been created.

The reason I'm asking is due to NAT and OPENVPN settings, getting calls to a gateway is near impossible using sip and nat traversal even through siproxd with stun enabled.

I'd love to be able to route an iax trunk to the openvpn interface, have it connect to the asterisk plugin on the pfsense and have a pfsense asterisk sip trunk to the gateway on the far end, thus allowing me to communicate with the gateway on the far end without all the nat traversal.

So basically, here's how it would look:

Public Asterisk Machine (Public IP)<–-------------->IAX Trunk<--------------> pfsense openvpn gateway<------>Asterisk Plugin on PFsense<----------->SIP TRUNK ON LAN interface / subnet to Gateway with private IP (192.168.x.x/24)

So basically calls can come in the IAX trunk over the VPN connection and be routed to the pfsense asterisk plugin and immediately piped to the GSM Gateway behind the pfsense on the LAN Gateway.

These features(and others) will be available when I have time to finish asteriskgui port to pfnse

Don't you think this will dramatically increase audio delay in the phone lines? Especially the OpenVPN part of the road can add time delays to TCP/IP going thru the tunnel. Any delay more than 25ms/direction will make a phone conversation unusable as the dialogue will become unnatural.

My last Skype conversation was having a delay of almost 2 minutes :D

any idea if FreePBX will be able to be compatible with Asterisk 1.8 on PFS ?

Not yet. Freepbx is much more complex(and powerfull) then asterisk gui.

I've looked for freepbx integration but the setup involves a lot of extra steps and php5.3 that may break pfsense 2.0.1 install.

freepbx plains sucks. is a pain in the ass to maintain on the back end.

You missed a 0. It's 250ms. But again it only starts to degrade slowly from there. I running at 400ms just fine here.

Yes, FreePBX is the worst option. Probably a nice simple css/mxl/html page would do for most of the features. Maybe copy FreePBX layout and features but not it's packages. They will never work with pfSense team to have something out that would be working for everything. Too politically charged….

@marcelloc:

Good news!

I could get asterisk-gui 2.0 running on pfsense. ;D

Next step is adjust some gui options to have a full funcional asterisk package for pfsense.

Status from robi, gui configuration from digium, compilation and joining by me.

where can i find digium gui???
thanks

sorry for this stupid question… i downloaded the package, unzip it, tried ./configure , something was missing, and also "make;make install" is unknown command, do i need to install something first?
sorry, but my Linux is basic knowledge.. pls check attached.
thanks for any help.

I did not finished it yet, but here are few steps you need after copying extracted files to the folder

mkdir /var/lib
mkdir /etc/dahdi/
mkdir /var/lib
mkdir /etc/dahdi/

ln -s /usr/local/etc/asterisk /etc/asterisk
ln -s /usr/local/share/asterisk /var/lib/asterisk

/var/lib/asterisk/gui_backups
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/imageupdate

chown -R asterisk /var/lib/asterisk
chown -R asterisk /usr/local/etc/asterisk
chown -R asterisk /etc/dahdi

/var/lib/asterisk/static_html/config

hi, where exactly i should copy the extracted files? i don't need to compile them??
also, your code :


/var/lib/asterisk/gui_backups
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/imageupdate

what is the command line here????

Thanks.

@xbaha:

maybe just folders to create. I'm not sure you need to compile it, just extract the files.

If I have time these days I'll try to publish a new package version with asterisk-gui.

Great Job.
But I found the app_meetme.so is not installed in the asterisk.
this module is very important for us!
Can you install it in the asterisk system?
Maybe you should comiple the dahdi module first!
:)

marcelloc

No dahdi for now :(

The dahdi port for freebsd is not working.

I rebuilded the asterisk 1.8.x in pfsense,included the app_meetme.so.
conference now is running…...
But I do not have some FXS or FXO or E1/T1 cards,So i do not know whether the drived can run in the pfsense system.
