Asterisk Packages & Installation Instructions

I still need to do more testing, but asterisk is running with the sip functions enabled.

Base system should be F12
wget http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/asterisk/1.6.2.0/0.6.rc3.fc13/i686/asterisk-1.6.2.0-0.6.rc3.fc13.i686.rpm for i686 systems.
yum install --nogpgcheck asterisk-1.6.2.0-0.6.rc3.fc13.i686.rpm asterisk-sounds-core-en-wav
- This will pull in some other packages, including tex stuff (presumably for documentation).
- I think we can use the F12 asterisk-sounds-core until there is an F13 version available, but I haven't got that far in my testing.
- I am not sure which codecs we need and what issues installing multiple languages causes.
git clone git://fedorapeople.org/~jcollie/ftalk-asterisk-configs.git ftalk-asterisk-configs
cp -f ftalk-asterisk-configs/* /etc/asterisk
Open ports 5060/udp 5060/tcp for inbound SIP. Allowing related connections should take care of RTP.
- For example if you aren't using a firewall tool you can add the following to /etc/sysconfig/iptables and service iptables restart:
  - -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5060 -j ACCEPT
  - -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 5060 -j ACCEPT
Open port 4569/udp for iax2, if we play with that.
If you want to test connecting with a sip client you can edit /etc/asterisk/users.conf to replace the modified md5secret with a correct md5secret or just secret.
/etc/asterisk/sip.conf has a fixed ip address in several commands. I think you can comment these out.
/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf has a [directories] section that causes problems for sip. Probably something needed by sip is in a missing directory. Since we are keeping stuff in the standard places, this can just be commented out by adding (!) to the end of the line. So it should look like: [directories](!)
chkconfig asterisk on
service asterisk restart

Targeted Trac Tickets

Primary targets:
- #309 -- Asterisk recording
- #395 -- Audio streaming of Fedora Board conf-calls
- #453 -- Asterisk/gstreamer solution for town hall meetings
- #1160 -- streaming and recording moderated conf-calls
Secondary targets (as time allows):
- #672 -- improve VoIP page on FAS
- #1723 -- improve talk.fp.o page content

-I haven't testing the resulting set up yet, but this should be pretty good for getting things mostly there. At this point the server starts up but the sip.conf is not being read, and hence no sip service, when using Jeff's conf files. When using my much simpler set, it does get read. I have been playing with it for a while, but haven't found the key difference yet.
