Hello Everyone, I have recently come across these two terms. I am new at Asterisk and do appreciate your assistance in this. Some tools such as "astGUIclient" and "Asterisk Management Portal" require that the phone system be running Zap or IAX trunks as well as SIP devices. SIP devices are understadable but what about the other two? I am planning to use Cisco 7960/7940 IP phones. Thanks Walid -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi Walid, Welcome to the list. Zap are the connections from ordinary pstn (or telco lines) to your digium hardware. IAX is an Asterisk protocol for incoming lines via IP from another asterisk PABX. Hope this helps.

Thanks Dean.. Well, about the hardware then. What do you recommend for beginning with Asterisk. I intend to use Cisco 7940s/7960s with Asterisk. Also which software is recommended to enable Soft phone on users PCs?
