Introducing Asterisk Phone Systems: Asterisk SIP Peers
So now that we are back on track after our little deviation into Asterisk Network Configuration, part 5 of our Introducing Asterisk Series is now online! Today’s topic covers Asterisk SIP Peers and how to register your SIP devices using the Asterisk CLI (Command Line Interface). So matter what device you would like to integrate, as long as it is SIP enabled you can integrate the device into your Asterisk VoIP Server setup. For example SIP desk phones, Door Intercoms & security systems.
In today’s tutorial we demonstrate how you can integrate both a Snom SIP phone & a softphone. The reasoning behind using Softphones is that they are great for testing purposes. Many are free, such as CounterPaths X-Lite, which means you can avoid all the hardware costs. Moreover, some allow you to add as many lines as you what – such as Telephone which is available from the App Store.
Stay tuned for next time when we will take a look at Asterisk Dial Plans and actually start making some calls.
