Asterisk Configuration
Please Note: Incorrect configuration of Asterisk can be susceptible to fraud. Please make sure your system is secure before connecting to the VoiceHost Service. VoiceHost does not accept any liability for fraud.
For recomendations on securing your PBX, please read the ITSPA VoIP Security: IP PBX Deployment. |
The VoiceHost service is 100% compatible with Asterisk using standard SIP registration.
Once you have setup and configured Asterisk, you can use the following details to start making calls with VoiceHost.
xxxxx*200 = Your extension username
ppppp = Your VoIP password
You should have the following in your sip.conf file:
[general]
register => xxxxx*200:ppppp@siptrunk.voicehost.co.uk
[voicehost]
host=siptrunk.voicehost.co.uk
username= <Your Extension Username e.g 1XXXX*2XX>
secret= <Extension Password>
type=peer
disallow=all
allow=alaw,ulaw,gsm
context=inbound
insecure=port,invite
fromuser= <Your Extension Username e.g 1XXXX*2XX>
If you do not have a public IP address and calls are not being delivered to your system, you can use the following setting to keep your router ports open:
qualify=9000
You should have something similar to the following in your extensions.conf file:
[inbound]
exten => _X.,1,Dial(SIP/100)
Please note: Incorrectly setting the 'context' can lead to vulnerabilities open to attack from hackers. Please check your configuration thoroughly as VoiceHost does not accept any liability for fraud.
