asterisk users - Dec 2005 - How to make Asterisk to generate and terminate calls

Hi,
  I would like to connect two linux machines running asterisk and then 
originate SIP calls from one asterisk and terminate it on the other 
asterisk. Terminating the call is not a problem because I can give the 
call handle to say AGI application on the terminating asterisk. How do i 
originate a call from the asterisk ? Is this possible using AGI ? Any 
pointers in this regard would be of great help.

This type of application can be used two simulate bulk calls and find 
out what is the maximum limit for the asterisk in terms of CPU 
utilization, memory, etc. before it can be deployed in production 
environment.

thanks,
Ravi

Ravi,

  Take a look here.  http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+auto-dial+out
I would think that for what you are doing use a cron job and a shell script.

This is the "how long is a piece of string" question.

It all depends on the hardware Asterisk sits on, the codecs in use, the 
dialtone provider (SIP vs IAX vs T1/E1) etc.

Do a wiki search and you'll find some examples of what folks have found.

As for originate on one and terminat on another; thats doable. Your 
phone device will have settings for an outbound proxy. Set this for the 
outbound Asterisk server.
