Working Asterisk Settings For VT

[Brendan]

This is a known working config, all you have to do is insert the right data where we have all caps words placed. After doing this, please contact the support dept and ask that your account's dtmf mode is switched to "inband" or key tones will not pass through the two systems.

SIP.CONF

[general]
register => YOURNUMBER:YOURPASS@INSERT PROXY HERE ; registration of your pbx to viatalk

[viatalk]
context=global ;context to use
type=peer ; user type
fromuser=YOUR NUMBER ; callerid number
username=YOUR NUMBER
authuser=YOUR NUMBER
secret=YOUR PASSWORD
host= INSERT PROXY HERE ;host to contact
fromdomain= INSERT PROXY HERE ; domain you're on
nat=no ; network address translation (set to yes if you have problems)
canreinvite=yes
insecure=very ; security level
qualify=yes ; require password (we do require this)
dtmfmode=inband (needed on BOTH ends to allow keytone passing)
dtmf=inband ; same as previous item

EXTENSIONS.CONF

[outgoing]
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,dial,SIP/${EXTEN:0}@viatalk|60|Tt
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,2,congestion
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,dial,SIP/1${EXTEN:0}@viatalk|60|Tt
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,2,congestion

The extensions.conf file edit does not need to be in there, but is posted to allow understanding of a working extension setup for a viatalk "trunk" (outgoing line)

Now if only VT didn't charge us extra $$ to have a SIP compatiable device set up on our plan.

[Brendan]

What charge are you referring to? There is no additional charge to use your own device or asterisk.

Isn't there a fee to use a sip device like a softphone or asterisk ?

Isn't there a fee to use a sip device like a softphone or asterisk ?

No. As long as you have an account with us, you can use those devices in the same way would you use a device we provide.

Many other VoIP providers charge that fee along with a myriad of other hidden fees as they nickel and dime customers. We've never done that and never will.

Just like HostRocket, ViaTalk's a very consumer friendly company.

I just got Asterisk working on an old machine, now I get to try to get VT working with asterisks.

So far I'm not having much luck, but then again, I'm new to this.. It took me a long time just to get FWD working along with VT.

[KLH]

Well, I've gotten asterisk set up and running with VT halfway. I can make outgoing calls with VT but for some reason I cannot recieve any incoming calls. Shouldn't using the script posted in this thread allow me to recieve incoming calls?
