Thursday, May 30th, 2013Switching from analog telephony to IP
Friday, May 24th, 2013Few days ago we successfully implemented the switching from analog to IP telephony in one company, the name of which we keep in secret due to the privacy policy.
The ‘uplink’ still remains analog, consisting of 15 PSTN lines (the client’s requirement). All 40 office phones now are SIP ones.
Eltex TAU-32M.IP VoIP gateway was used in conjunction with AsteriskNOW (client’s requirement, they wanted to have some web-interface at least to look for the system, what is happening inside) on the HP ProLiant DL160 Gen8 server.
SIP phones are Fanvil C56, Gigaset C610A IP and top Digium’s model – D70.
Asterisk: contactpermit and contactdeny
Thursday, May 23rd, 2013We can control in the [general] section of the sip.conf from which IP-addresses the device can register against our Asterisk server. This could be achieved with the ‘contactpermit‘ and ‘contactdeny‘ parameters:
contactdeny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
contactpermit=10.145.13.0/255.255.255.0
contactpermit=10.145.14.0/255.255.255.0
The example above denies to register from any IP address and allows registration for devices which have 10.145.13.x or 10.145.14.x address.
Note, that these are separate options, besides ‘deny=x.x.x.x/x.x.x.x’ and ‘permit=x.x.x.x/x.x.x.x’, which are set in your SIP peers sections.
