Hi Guys, I'm new in VoIP, I heard from a friend that asterisk is good in VoIP service especially on SIP. I'm planning to replace our old PBX system (legacy of Panasonic) to VoIP so that even out of the country we can still communicate cheaper than regular phone. But I have a few questions though before I change our OLD PBX to VoIP. 1. Does asterisk generate CDR? If yes how do I see it or generate it? Because I have to monitor people who's calling overseas. 2. How do I secure it? Co'z I have to open it via Public IP. Can I know the port asterisk used assuming I'll use SIP. 3. If it run on linux, it run will on BSD but I read from google that it has specific version for BSD. Can I know what version are for FreeBSD? This questions might annoyed experts. Please bear with me... Thank you. nocph -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

By default cdr is stored in a delimited fille, but can easily be put into a mysql table. Securing it is a good question. Asterisk is secure on its own, and I would secure the rest like ssh by changing the default ports and such. I don't know about bsd. You will fall in love with asterisk though, enjoy.

It is that system you have to "secure". You'll probably expose some sort of management interface to the world (a web interface, ssh, whatever).> > 3.

Can I know what version are for FreeBSD?Asterisk is well known to build and run on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. But if you're interested in that, I suppose you can ask further questions in the asterisk-bsd mailing list. http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-bsd> > This questions might annoyed experts.

Can I know what version are for > FreeBSD? >Hi, Just a quick one. Last month i created a asterisk system running on freebsd-7 (pre-release) Nothing special, Took an 1.4 asterisk from the ports tree. Only minor point is that it takes foreven and a day to rebuild the whole lot, but that is because i had to use old hardware. (bsd is pick about hardware....) But on the whole, it works nicely including the tdm-board. hw
