Thanks in advance for anyone that can help.

I'm a newbie to *NOW and IPKall. So any info will be helpful.

I registered on Free World Dialup and received my info. I then registered on IPKall and received my number. Now I would like to set it up so that my IPKall number is directly linked to Asterisk and not via FWD.

I followed instructions given on a couple of posts but none of it worked.

My *NOW server is DMZ enabled. I have a registered account on Dyndns.org and I have the DNS Updater installed and running.

1. Do I need to setup the trunk in Asterisk as IAX or SIP?
2.What info do I use in my IPKall setup?
3. When setting up the trunk in Asterisk what information do I use?

Any further information would be appreciated.

Once agian...thank you in advance.

These are the trunk details I use in FreePBX, I suppose *Now would be similar:

Trunk Name: 3601234567 (replace with your 10 digit IPKall number)

Incoming Settings:

User Context: from-trunk
User Details:

type=peer
insecure=very
host=voiper.ipkall.com
dtmfmode=rfc2833
disallow=all
context=from-trunk
allow=ulaw&alaw
echocancel=yes

Thats all, set your IPKall account to point to :
Account Type: SIP
Sip Phone Number: your 10 digit IPKall number
Proxy: Your dyndns domain name

Thanks for your reply. However I still have one problem.

My IPKall number still stays engaged all the time. Even when I point it to FWD Communicator.

Your assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks

IPKAll seems a bit erratic sometimes in terms of number activation... also, it takes a while before any changes you make to the proxy get implemented... I suggest you wait and see..

Thanks I appreciate. I thought it might be something to do with the the IPKall settings but I had it right. Thanks again.

I'm still having the same problem with my IPKall number. It still stays busy all the time. I've even tested it with FWD. I've waited about 24hrs and it still gives me a busy signal.

Create another number, maybe lucky this time!!.

I have...yesterday. And I still haven't even received a reply on that.

hey, did you see my post? http://forum.voxilla.com/ipkall-supp...tml#post118052 (ipkall + asterisk + IAX) that's my setup and my ipkall 360 number directly dials my asterisk box over IAX.


i couldn't get SIP working through my NAT, so i went with IAX.

my ipkall setup is:
Account type: *IAX
IAX Username: 360xxxxxxx
IAX Proxy: dyndns.host.name/360xxxxxx


and in asterisk, my iax.conf:
[360xxxxxxx]
type=user
username=360xxxxxxx
context=ipkall-in
host=voiper.ipkall.com

now, for the context "ipkall-in", we need an associated entry in our extensions.conf:
[ipkall-in]
exten => 360xxxxxxx,1,Dial(SIP/101,20,r)
exten => 360xxxxxxx,2,Voicemail,u100
exten => 360xxxxxxx,102,Voicemail,b101

you could probably get away with only the first exten line - the others are for voicemail.

so NOW, the Dial line will call my phone "SIP/101", which is my PAP device registered via SIP. so in sip.conf i need:
[101]
type=friend
host=dynamic
username=101
secret=password
mailbox=101
dtmfmode=rfc2833
callerid="adam" <101>
disallow=all
allow=gsm
allow=alaw
allow=ulaw
canreinvite=no


turning on "iax2 debug" from the console should help you figure out if ipkall is even getting to your asterisk box. make sure you have port 4569 open on your NAT.

Hey guys,

Thank you so much for your info. I finally found the problem. I had to point the number directly to my intener IP address otherwise it doesn't work.

I now have a working number for calls...thanks a million to everyone.
