Call between SIP peers SOS

hi

I am a new asterisk user, currently following the guidelines on “Asterisk: The future of Telephony” to set up an Asterisk PBX system on a server.

I am able to place a call between two softphones (using SIP); one on the server and the other on a client PC. I can observe the softphones ring when their configured extensions are dialed, however, I don’t hear anything from the speaker after the call is established.

I have defined two contexts (in extensions.conf) with the Dial() application eg

[mine]
exten => 234,1,Dial(SIP/234,20)
exten => 234,n,Hangup()

i would imagine that i should hear sounds from the other phone after the call is connected; especially when someone talks into the microphone. But I don’t know why I don’t hear anything after the call is initiated.

Can someone help me please?

thanks
UB
