Asterisk Packages & Installation Instructions

I still need to do more testing, but the service is up and running. I am having trouble setting up registrations to it. I suspect this is because things are set up for a different domain than that that matches the IP address, but it might be something else.

  • 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.
    • The way things are configured, only udp is being used for 5060. Unless that changes 5060/tcp doesn't need to be opened up.
    • 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):
