AskoziaPBX – Preconfigured Image – Getting Started

Prerequisites
 
The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
 
·         Alix23x Embedded Appliance with preconfigured image installed
·         A PC with Ethernet connection
 
Getting started
 
After installed the preconfigured AskoziaPBX image on Compact flash (see Write Askozia image on CF), you are able to connect to the ALIX embedded appliance for verify configuration and tune it!
 
The embedded Appliance start with 192.168.1.1 preconfigured LAN IP ADDRESS interface and with Username admin Password admin
 
Attach an Ethernet cable from Ethernet interface of your PC and the LAN interface of the embedded device; put your PC ethernet interface in the same network address space of the embedded appliance for connect to it (for example 192.168.1.10 and netmask 255.255.255.0).
 
alix3front02
Try to reach the embedded device with an ICMP request from command line interface of your PC:
 
ping 192.168.1.1
 
you should receive an ICMP response; this indicate that you can connect via http and view/modify the configuration.

AskoziaPBX – Write Askozia image on CF (LINUX)

How to create a Compact Flash from scratch (LINUX):
Prerequisites
The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
·         Download the AskoziaPBX preconfigured image from here in /tmp directory
·         Compact Flash at least 128MB
·         Alix 2Dx Embedded Appliance
·         A PC with LINUX OS (UBUNTU in our case)
Write preconfigured IMAGE to CF from scratch:
1.      First of all, list all device partition table; please, don’t plugin the CF device
networksoul@linux:/$ sudo fdisk –l
[sudo] password for networksoul: <enter root password>
Disk /dev/sda: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1044 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0×00072332
Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1         993     7976241   83  Linux
/dev/sda2             994        1044      409657+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5             994        1044      409626   82  Linux swap / Solaris
networksoul@linux:/$
/dev/sda is the hard disk
2.      Plug the CF into the reader, and list all partition table again
networksoul@linux:/$ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1044 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0×00072332
Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1         993     7976241   83  Linux
/dev/sda2             994        1044      409657+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5             994        1044      409626   82  Linux swap / Solaris
Disk /dev/sdc: 2048 MB, 2048901120 bytes

Units = cylinders of 3968 * 512 = 2031616 bytes
Disk identifier: 0×70707573
This doesn’t look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

AskoziaPBX – Business Hours (step2)

How to configure Askozia for BusinessHours (step2):
Prerequisites 
The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
·         http://www.networksoul.net/2009/06/askoziapbx-business-hours-step1/
·         AskoziaPBX v.1.03
·         Recordings pakages already installed http://www.zrnet.it (Roberto Zilli);
·         Recorded Message already registered in the path /storage/recordings.pkg/data/recordings (for example “it-Businness-hours.sln”);
·         Alix23x Embedded Appliance
Providers Extension and BusinessHours application association:
Now, we need to associate the custom BusinnessHours application with incoming provider extension; suppose we have a SIP provider account with the following credentials (all parameters are given by sip providers accounts):
 
Username:                02555555
Password:                 password
Sip server                 voip.eutelia.it:
Sip extension:          02555555
 
From AskoziaPBX GUI, Accounts>Providers, add a new SIP Account as follow:
03_BusinessHours_AddProviders

Set-up the new SIP Account with the right parameters:

04_BusinessHours_Operator_snapshot

Name:
(this is the name of sip account, for example voipstunt_account):
eutelia_sip
Dialing Pattern:
(this is the pattern for outbound call, no inbound; string | removes a prefix, string . match one or more characters;  “1|. matches 188888888 but only passes 88888888 to the provider”)
1|.
Username:
(this is the username of sip account):
02555555
Password:
(this is the password of sip account):
password
Host:
(this is the ip address or FQDN of SIP account proxy server):
Voip.eutelia.it
Incoming Extension:
(Here we need to associate the incoming extension with the custom BusinessHours Application):
02555555      ->        BusinessHours (custom application)
Click save
05_BusinessHours_Providers

Try to call SIP telephone number (i.e. 02555555)!
