installing and configuring the asterisk server with OpenWRT White Russian

installing asterisk

ipkg install asterisk installiert uns das Packet.
Copy the config and init files:
/etc/init.d/S97asterisk
/etc/asterisk/sip.conf
/etc/asterisk/extensions.conf
You have to edit the files sip.conf and extensions.conf, providing the usernames and passwords. Those are needed by the clients to log in to your server.
If you change IPEueresWRT54GLimOpenVP to the IP your router running the asterisk server has in the VPN in the file sip.conf clients will only be able to connect to the asterisk server if they are within the VPN. Make the init file executable:
chmod +x /etc/init.d/S97asterisk
Try starting the asterisk server:
/etc/init.d/S97asterisk start

connect clients

There are a lot of applications you can use as client software. I'll just introduce you to the two apps i use:
Debian: twinkle (from the repositories)
Windows: SJphone

Create a new profile, where a registrar is required write the ip your router has in the VPN. As username and password use the ones you defined in sip.conf
