I am new to asterisk and need to dig up some info on how to set it all up. It looks a bit daunting especially all the options available in the .conf files. I have 2 SIP phones, GXP2000 and a budgettone 100. phone1 - 192.168.0.160/24 extension 1000 phone2 - 192.168.0.161/24 extension 1001 Server - 192.168.0.57 I get the following all the time, but can make calls between the 2 extensions, 1000 and 1001 after a long time with forbidden messages on phones. My questions are, 1. Do these phones need to register with the server 2. Where does the authentication info go in the SIP.conf & Extensions.conf. 3. Where do I find some good documentation on asterisk/ the conf files. Apologies for the appearance below.
