asterisk users - Oct 2003 - Asterisk role

Hi all!

I am using ohphone (well, I am trying to) to make calls. I will make an
H.323 - SIP Gateway but I don't understand the architecture of all this.

What is the exact role of asterisk? It can be used as gateway, that I know,
but what else can he do? Is it necessary to have ohphone to make calls or
asterisk can also do that?

So when the gateway it is going to be implemented how is it going to work?

- ohphone call gatekeeper and uses a gateway (asterisk)
or
- asterisk registers to a gatekeeper and it accepts and makes calls?
or
- None of both?

Please help me.

Regards,

Mireia

Hello Mireia,

you can do all that with asterisk and much much more.... well not 
everything but almost everything regarding VoIP.

If you read carefully the documentations, you will find many ways to 
build different VoIP architectures and solutions. I'll recommend you few 
links, which I found useful :)
