Hi list!

Finally I got my Asterisk works with my two phones… It was a problem on my Firewall (for the phone of my wife) and on my Dialplan
(for forwarding calls).

Now all works as expected, at least in the simulation I did with AsteriskNOW. Hopefully it will work later, when Deutsche Telekom changes my ISDN to VoIP…

Well, now I have some time to spend with “fooling”… My phone will receive calls from 3 numbers. All that was done in my dialplan. Now, it would be nice, if I can signaling on the phone which number will be called, so that, for example, if I receive a call for +493511111111 I get a message on the display or the phone ring with a particular tone, and if I
receive a call for +493512222222 the phone write something other on the display or ring with another tone.

Is it possible? Maybe it depends from phone… I use a Thomson ST2022.

Thanks a lot Luca Bertoncello

  • Don’t worry, Asterisk works very well with Deutsche Telekom and there new ip-based connections …

    That’s a good news… Currenty I configured my sip.conf so:

    register => 00493511111111:MYSECRET@pbxluca/00493511111111
    register => 00493512222222:MYSECRET@pbxfax/00493512222222
    register => 00493513333333:MYSECRET@pbxanika/00493513333333

    Just a few ‘stylistic’ and ‘ease of maintenance’ suggestions:

    1) Group the ‘register’ with the stanza.

    2) Add a bit of whitespace to increase ‘readability.’

    3) Sort the parameters to make it easier to maintain.

    4) Move ‘common’ settings to ‘general.’

    Thus, I’d write your sip.conf as:

    [general]
    canreinvite = no
    context = luca_incoming
    dtmfmode = rfc2833
    insecure = invite
    outboundproxy = 172.16.34.132
    port = 5060
    qualify = yes
    qualifyfreq = 600
    usereqphone = yes

    [general](+)
    register = 00493511111111:MYSECRET@pbxluca/00493511111111
    [pbxluca]
    defaultuser = 00493511111111
    fromdomain = 172.16.34.132
    fromuser = 00493511111111
    host = 172.16.34.132
    secret = MYSECRET
    type = peer

    [general](+)
    register = 00493512222222:MYSECRET@pbxfax/00493512222222
    [pbxfax]
    defaultuser = 00493512222222
    fromdomain = 172.16.34.132
    fromuser = 00493512222222
    host = 172.16.34.132
    secret = MYSECRET
    type = peer

    5) I’d try and move more of the common settings to general, but these were the ones listed on voip-info.org.

  • You can fiddle with the caller ID to change what is displayed on the phone.

    You can fiddle with the ring tone by phone specific configuration and phone specific SIP headers (sipaddheader(Alert-Info: …)).

    These seem relevant:

    Hi Kevin

    thank you very much for the suggestion. I think it’s not the right way, since I’d like to display the right number and the name from address book… If I change it, I’ll not get the right data on the display, isn’t it?

    Anyway, I’ll try tomorrow…

    Thanks Luca Bertoncello

    Hi Kevin!

    Thanks! It works!
    I can set the name of the line with CALLERID(name) and see the caller number, too. And, it the number is in the address book, I see the name, too.

    Perfect!

  • number,

    Glad it worked for you. I usually leave the number untouched, but will manipulate the name to suite what I want. I have mulitple call queues, so for instance, for my helpdesk lines, I will do something like transform
    “Name” to “HD:Name” so that the person being called knows that the caller dialed the help desk number rather than their direct number. On people who work multiple queues, it is very handy so they can see at a glance what queue the caller is reaching.
