Dear Friends,
I am Irsath Ahamed from Dubai Working as IT Support Engineer. In my Office we are using Asterisk System in Linux Platform. I dont anything about linux and I tried in Internet whether this Asterisk System supports Windows Platform but I failed.
Can anybody help me if this system supports Windows Platform from where I can download the Software and basic configuration details.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Irsath Ahamed.
Most people would choose Linux over Windows for Asterisk any day. Asterisk is designed for Linux but a quick Google Search for ‘asterisk windows’ returns some hits which may be of help. The team at asteriskwin32 seem to have a working Win32 port of Asterisk.
Alternatively, you could use this as an opportunity to learn about Linux!
Thanks for your Advice Mr/Mrs.Gilester.,
Already I started to study about Linux and Asterisk System but for the time being we have problem in the system and I need to rectify it.
We are using old Linux Version and the GUI Mode is not working due to some corruption. It is working only in Command Prompt mode and I don’t the command to work in that. If it in GUI mode atleast I can know something about the system. Thats why I am looking for Windows Support.
Good old Dubai hey…not much VoIP passes through there I hear…I’ve got a mate working at Dou Telecom.
Anyway…
Getting the GUI to work again should be do-able with some forum help.
Do you know which version of GUI you had (freePBX, asterisk GUI, Druid)?
Which version of linux/asterisk?
To find out which version of linux do these two things:
#cat /etc/issue
and
#uname -a
/etc/issue contains the information on which distribution of linux you have.
uname -a gives the actual kernel version you are running. Both are handy to know.
If you don’t know what those two lines even look like, read below for some basic linux/asterisk stuff.
Anyway, what is your extent of linux knowledge?
root = Administrator
ifconfig = ipconfig
route -n = ??
cd = cd
Can you log in and get to the asterisk CLI (command line interface)? If you can do that, and change directory to /etc/asterisk (which is similar to C:\etc\asterisk if that were to exist). Same dos commands: cd /etc/asterisk
Private Message me if you want to arrange for me to SSH in and look around.
If you can log in as root, and get to the command prompt ‘#’ try to get to asterisk.
Login: root
Password: xxxxxxx
Welcome to linux!
#asterisk -r
once you do asterisk -r, the command prompt will change to the asterisk CLI.
CLI>quit
and you will return to the linux prompt #.
From asterisk CLI you can try these commands with no bad effects.
CLI>sip show peers
CLI>iax2 show peers
CLI>dialplan show
CLI>show version
CLI>core show version
The verson of my Linux is:
Fedora Core Release 3 (Heidelberg)
Kernal \r on an \m
The result for the following command is
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.11-1.35_FC3 #1 Mon Jun 13 00:52:08 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I have tried the above commands…
Now my telephone system is working but still problem. The problem is the call is getting connect on second try which means first time I have to dail the number and hold sometimes and I have to disconnect. If I re-dial again I am getting connected.
I have very limitted knowledge about Linux. I know how to login and shutdown in Linux thats it…
If you give some good book to read it would help me to know about it more
Thanks.
