asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Calling Asterisk Autoattendant With SIP Phone

I'm trying to get into the world of Asterisk in order to use the voicemail
and autoattendat features (and more stuff later) with a Redcom switch. But,
I've only started and haven't gotten to that yet. At this point my
solitary goal is to talk to the autoattendant via an SIP phone (SJPhone).
I've spent countless hours trying to find the documentation I need to
accomplish my goals but everything I find always assumes so much and I'm
left lost. Plus I haven't found a thing about setting up Asterisk as an SIP
server.

I installed the Asterisk@Home package, so I can edit all the config files
through HTTP and I can use AMP.

I've tried 'dialing' to the IP address of the Asterisk machine with
SJPhone but the call is rejected ("number not available"). Now, how do
I specify an extension number when I 'dial'?

Thanks for any help :/

I believe the web page should be modified to include a huge, red, bold,
blinking "please read the asterisk handbook available here and search
the wiki and mail archives before you post a message to the list". That
would prevent so many questions on how and where to start when first
installing asterisk. :s
 
So, I would suggest you check out the asterisk handbook here:
http://www.digium.com/handbook-draft.pdf
 
Page 56 to 61 explain in lots of detail and give a working example of
sip.conf with 1 phone and 1 voip provider. The whole thing is good to
read though so you might as well read the whole thing (quickly) hehe.
 
The handbook assumes you know nothing about asterisk and pretty much
everything else. You shouldn't have to spend more than 15 minutes
configuring this. 
 
Guills
