asterisk users - Jun 2003 - Newbie, Loaded Asterisk can't figure out manual

Just loaded it yesterday running on TDM400P and X100P.  I have also
loaded the sample setttings.

1.  What's the first thing you guys do?  Change .conf files or do it
from CLI?

2.  Just trying to get it up and running to see if everything works.  Do
I setup Extensions first?

3.  Can I just remove some of the ; within the .conf files to get a
simple PBX working?

I would appreciate your thoughts and knowledge!

You need to set up your zap stuff, and outbound extensions.. then inbound 
.. etc

depends on your hardware config.  It's really worth hitting the handbook, 
it's not just a dry document, it's designed for guys like you ..

John,
	I agree that the manual in its current state is not particularly
comprehensive or cohesive shall we say.  Here are my suggestions:


1. Configure Zaptel.conf in /etc

2. Configure Zapata.conf in /etc/asterisk to match your definitions in
zaptel

3. Configure your end user devices in their config file as appropriate.

4. Write extensions.conf and voicemail.conf

Should be ready to test.
