Hi, I just wonder if someone can advice ... I have an asterisk server and I need to connect to the PSTN line. Instead of using a digium card, I wonder is an old SPA3000 would do the job? 1) PSTN---SPA3000 ---(RJ45 cable ) ----asterisk I would imagine that receiving a phone call, I can send it to Ethernet cable !? can I do that ? but not sure how to configure it If not, which "ATA" would do the job ? ( I cannot use any PCI card for that, since I am using a Virtualisation system ( VirtualBox ) -> no interaction with the hardware Thanks for your help
Yes I understand, but in a "normal" way, you will plug your analog phone on your ATA and this phone will be considered as VoIP phone for your asterisk server. this is not what I want to do. I won't plug any analog phone... - When the * server make a phone call on the extension -> I go through the PSTN Line ( OK, for that I know how to configure the SPA ) - BUT when I receive a phone call, I don't want the phone call goes on to the analog Phone ( because of No phone plugged ) but goes through Ethernet TO the Asterisk server ?!? how to do that ? Thanks
I made some test : [122] type=friend defaultuser=122 fromuser=122 callerid=analoguePhone regext=122 secret=122 insecure=invite,port port=5060 host=dynamic context=default [linksysout] type=friend username=linksysout fromuser=linksysout regext=222 secret=222 port=5062 insecure=invite,port host=dynamic context=from-pstn localhost*CLI> sip show peers Name/username Host Dyn Nat ACL Port Status 122/122 192.168.0.175 D 5067 Unmonitored 222/222 192.168.0.186 D 5060 Unmonitored linksysout/linksysout 91.189.90.40 D 44432 Unmonitored 3 sip peers [Monitored: 0 online, 0 offline Unmonitored: 3 online, 0 offline] localhost*CLI> that's really weird... the Linksysout has registered with the external IP Address... ( WAN ) Any idea what can cause this problem ??? On the SPA, both ( PSTNLine and SIP ) will register to the * asterisk : 192.168.0.25 I made sure that the ports are differents between the 2 registrations. Do you have the same ? Is that a normal registration ? Thanks
