REGISTERing Softphone and Analog Phone with Asterisk PBX

In this article we are going to look at configuring Asterisk PBX (Private Branch eXchange) with different Users/Extensions as well as REGISTERing X-Lite Softphone and Beetel M 71 Analog Phone with Asterisk Soft PBX.

Asterisk is installed on Ubuntu 12.04LTS, X-Lite Softphone on Windows XP SP3.

If Asterisk PBX is already running, stop asterisk service.

$sudo /etc/init.d/asterisk stop

 * Stopping Asterisk PBX: asterisk

Edit Asterisk PBX SIP Configuration file

$sudo vim /etc/asterisk/sip.conf

Add users as per requirement, see below snapshot   

Edit extensions.conf file, see below snapshot

$sudo vim /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf 

extern => 1003,n,Dial(SIP/1002,20,tr) is the config in above snapshot which says, "any call to extension 1003 will be forwarded to 1002".

Start Asterisk soft PBX as below

#sudo /etc/init.d/asterisk start

 * Starting Asterisk PBX: asterisk

After starting execute below command as root which will output Asterisk debug logs
#asterisk -vvr

Analog Phone is connected to ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter). ATA will have Phone Ports (RJ11) for connecting Analog Phones and Ethernet Ports (RJ45) for connecting to IP network.
