Asterisk Tutorial 02 - Compiling Asterisk

Introducing Asterisk Phone Systems: Compiling Asterisk

True to form we are continuing on from where we left off last week. In our introduction to Asterisk tutorial, we gave you a brief introduction to Asterisk as well as explaining the various versions and what they all mean. The VoIP Guys have now started compiling and installing their Asterisk OpenSource VoIP PBX. Our resident Asterisk expert Mathias will provide you with Step-by-Step explanations and tips as well as providing useful insights regarding how to build a “clean and professional” system.

Compiling Asterisk

In our Introducing Asterisk series, we are using an ubuntu linux operating system as a virtual server on which to install our Asterisk PBX.

In order to compile Asterisk, you will need to add (build) some additional packages. This can be done using the command below:

sudo apt-get install build-essential wget libssl-dev libncurses5-dev libnewt-dev libxml2-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r) libsqlite3-dev uuid-dev

Next you will need to unpack your Asterisk source code as follows:

tar zxvf asterisk-11-current.tar.gz

Please note, unlike Mathias, please read the readme file unless you have done this process before.

Coming up next in the VoIP guys Asterisk series, we will be taking a look at Asterisk Start Scripts, how to start Asterisk automatically using scripts as well as providing some pointers on how to administer your system.

When we make decisions regarding new systems, we want to make sure that we have both reins firmly in our hands. Therefore, it is essential to implement systems which adhere to OpenStandards, allowing us to seamlessly connect and integrate these to our existing systems. In addition, we require reliable suppliers, who are ready to customise their solutions to our requirements, which is why we chose pascom who offer exactly this service and more.

We chose pascom as our telephony solution in part due to the scalability, flexibility and ease of deployment. In addition, the pascom platform functions perfectly with our digital guest directories in our rooms whilst offering the largest range of features at easily the most cost effective price compared to alternative solutions. A further deciding factor was the wide choice of compatible hardware that choosing pascom afforded us.

Markus Gerlitzki, Managing Director
My team and I pride ourselves on the level of excellent care we provide our guests. However, it can be distracting when the phone is always ringing and we constantly answer the same questions. Thanks to the pascom phone system, we have been able to setup an automated self-service hotline which allows guests to quickly get answers and if required callers can be quickly and efficiently routed to an an employee. The system greatly improves customer service with around the clock answers around opening times and courses and therefore reduces the strain on employees, ensuring we are free to cater to the needs of our on-site guests.
