Hello All, I am going to try and install Asterisk on a server machine that I have and wanted to get the opinion of experienced people as to the best method. Initially I was going to purchase the Asterisk Starter Kit at: http://www.thevoipconnection.com/store/catalog/product_16215_Asterisk_Starter_Kit.html But from what I can find out in the reviews, the book that comes with the kit is not supposed to be that good. Because of that, I was thinking to purchase the Digium TDM400P FXO/FXS Interface Card and either a VoIP phone or adapter for an analog phone to get started. Additionally I wanted to try and find out which method of installation is easier and cleaner: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Install+CDROM I do have Linux experience with Fedora, and Mandrake as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all, Lonnie
I have been getting the following message in Asterisk and it shuts Asterisk down, needing a reboot. "Power alarm on Module 2" I have (1) TDM400P with (2) FXS & (2) FXO cards (1) X100P card Any ideas? Thanks Martin
I would suggest you go with the "easy" road : - install CentOS : http://www.centos.org/ - then download Asterisk 1.0.4 (latest stable) : ftp://ftp.asterisk.org/pub/asterisk/ - install it by following this document : http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Step-by-step+Installation then play with it, read some more, play again, etc... your best source for info is http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk, google and when you don't find the answer in one of these two, this list is your last hope :) Hope this help
