Hey everyone The question that i am putting up will sound a bit odd as i am a newbie to asterisk. I have downloaded and install the asterisk and had a look at some of the configuration files like sip.conf, users.conf and extensions.conf. Now my question is that I want to do voip with another pc in LAN, what shall i have to do to implement this and i guess it will be possible without any hardware because at the moment i don't have any. I know that for voip only there are other softwares like skype which are quite easy to operate but I wanna learn implementation of asterisk. Please explain the answer keeping in mind that there is a newbie here. :) Thanks Regards Kartik
Use x-lite softphone. There is no need for any hardware. First you'll setup an extension in sip.conf and then create a dialplan context in extensions.conf so that this extension actually does something. The best way to learn how to do this is by reading chapters 4, 5 and 6 of freely available book "Asterisk - The future of telephony". In chapter 4 ignore all about zaptel and start from section "Configuring SIP Telephones". -- Zeeshan On 2010-03-20 6:29 AM, "kartik manocha" <koolkartik87 at gmail.com> wrote: Hey everyone The question that i am putting up will sound a bit odd as i am a newbie to asterisk.
