[Asterisk-Users] Newbie seeks help: Getting Asterisk to run on Mandrake 9.2
Hello, i was hoping someone from the list could point me in the correct direction. We recently purchased the Asterisk Developer's Kit (TDM) over at this link: http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=developerskit_tdm And now, i'm trying to get this to work in Mandrake 9.2. I've gotten a fairly recent source RPM that takes the source from CVS, compilies and links, and provide three neat packages. I've gotten the kernel modules to load, the stock config files are in /etc/asterisk, and asterisk runs when invoked by asterisk -vvvvc My problem now is that i can't seem to get a dial tone from the extension phone. (i've connected a phone to the FXS, and an outside line to the FXO). Alhtough the LED next to the phone socket lights up, and the phone earpiece emits a tone when you press a key, there is no dialtone, and no matter what you do, nothing happens => both on the screen/cli of asterisk and the phone itself. Silence. When you call up the direct line, it just rings forever. Now, i'm thinking... config problem. However the stock config files of asterisk are a lot, and i haven't seen a config-set which is tailored to my exact setup. I've tried http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+quickstart But that gets you going with SIP, which i think i'll do when i've gotten the phone extension to "dial 9 for an outside line" successfully first. Any ideas or pointers to a cookbook recipe would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. - Ian
