asterisk users - Jan 2005 - Connecting a Home based worker with An Iaxy

Hi,

If I need to connect a home based user to an Asterisk server, how does
the above work?
Is it (after being configured/provisioned) plug and play?

Anyone done this got any comments

Thanks

John

Yes it is plug and play.

Here at home I have set my DHCP server to hand out a specific IP to the 
IAXy as well, so configuration becomes even easier. Plug it in, wait a 
little for it to get its IP, and then use the iaxyprov utility to 
configure it. I followed the PDF you can download from digium.com.

I've been very happy with it and haven't seen any of the issues other 
people reported (no ring, losing IP, etc).

If the server is on a dynamic ip, it will need to reprovision every
time it changes. That means it will need to be able to get to the IAXy
thru NAT on its own (=port4569 forwarded to the IAXy)
