Setting up DID with EXGN and Asterisk (Trixbox)

[aholzman]

Hi,
I recently installed Trixbox, added a few softphone clients, and purchased a Grandstream Budgetone 102. All extensions are set up in free pbx and each device can call one another. I also signed up for Exgn link and am able to make outgoing calls using the iax settings from Exgn's website. Today I signed up for an 800# DID and also incorporated the settings into Trixbox the best I could. However, I cannot get it to work. Exgn has directions for Asterisk and the menu choices seem to be a little different. I spoke with someone at Exgn and they said there was probably a setting that was wrong in the exten.conf file with regard to a context setting. Under peer details for incoming under iax trunk settings he had me enter the following:
allow=all
context=ext-did
host=iax.exgn.net
secret=xxxxxxxx
type=friend
username=xxxxxxxx

Under the context he also had me try:
context=from-pstn
and also:
context=from-trunk
Any help would be much appreciated. This is all very new for me. I would just like my phone to ring when I receive a call. I can also email a text file of any config file settings if that would be helpful. Thanks!

This is what I have and it works:

Trunk Name: exgn

Peer Details:
allow=all
context=ext-did
host=iax.exgn.net
secret=your-password
type=friend
username=your-username

User Context: <blank>
User Details: <blank>

Registration String: your-username:your-password@iax.exgn.net

This DID should be set to use your "Normal Incoming Calls Setting"

Lastly, on your "Outbound Routes" tab, you will need to add the exgn trunk to one of your outbound trunks.

Now you should be able to make and receive calls!

Hi,
Thanks for the info. I did incorporate your settings. However, under the trunk I created, do I need anything under Incoming Settings: User Context and User Details? I can see the call is making it through now, however, when I dial the did, all I get is dead air for about 10 seconds and then the call disconnects... My account on Exgn is showing the call coming through and I'm getting billed for it. I'm using a Grandstream Budgetone 102. Thanks,
Adam
