Setting up a PBXinaflash with a cheap Wildcard X100p card. A bit rough; for future reference.

Part 1: Initial setup and dahdi config

1. Installed pbxinaflash (Bronze, Asterisk 1.6)
2. set passwords using passwd-master script
3. Enable ICMP ping in iptables.
4. Run dahdi_genconf -v
5. Run dahdi_cfg -v
6. Add #include /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf
   to /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf
7. At this point, asterisk should answer calls from the PSTN and play a “not in service” message.
8. Next step is probably to edit /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf and set context to from-zaptel to be able to assign a DID using the FreePBX web GUI.

Part 2: Adding SIP trunk

1. PEER Details:
   username=14165551212
   type=peer
   secret=s3cr3t
   host=voip.voipprovider.net
   dtmfmode=auto
2. USER Details (not sure what’s necessary here, probably some of this shouldn’t be here)
   username=14165551212
   type=peer
   secret=s3cr3t
   qualify=no
   promiscredir=yes
   nat=yes
   language=en
   insecure=very
   host=voip.voipprovider.net
   fromuser=14165551212
   fromdomain=voip.voipprovider.net
   dtmfmode=auto
   disallow=h263&h263p
   context=from-trunk
   canreinvite=no
3. In System Admin> Asterisk SIP settings page, change useragent and activate NAT/external IP options

Part 3: Fax Config

1. Installed Fax Configuration module from “Module Admin”. Configure destination email.
2. Installed Free Fax for asterisk using license obtained from Digium
3. Add a “Misc destination” for System Fax to extension 666
4. Enable Fax detection on inbound route. Set destination to Misc destination created in step 2
5. Further reading: fax_for_asterisk_admin_manual, http://bestof.nerdvittles.com/applications/fax/ and http://nerdvittles.com/?p=237. Didn’t end up using the extension created by the script, but perhaps the rpms installed are necessary.
