[arm-allstar] BYOD Voip services and AllStar autpatch setup recommendations

[Doug Crompton]

Robert,

 I am not sure what your intentions are with the voip provider. Is this just for the patch or are you going to use the provider for your own calls also. Is it just outgoing or incoming also?  Either way I would suggest getting it working with a real phone first assuming you have one. You can get a cheap but fully functional digital phone from Grandstream. The phone would work directly on your local Ethernet LAN. Both the phone provider and the voip provider have examples at their sites for asterisk setup.

Once the phone is working and making calls it is a simple matter to adjust the dialplan to work from the autopatch function. Having the phone on the LAN at your home or at a repeater site is a good test instrument to see if the line is working without tying up the radio. It also gives you a way to call out without using the radio. Very handy at a repeater site. Also most voip providers allow multiple outgoing and incoming calls. So you could be on the digital phone and also have the patch operation connected to different locations.

I do this a little differently here as I have my home Asterisk PBX on a different server and I let the asterisk servers talk to each other via iax. Asterisk is a very powerful tool and it takes awhile to understand all the ins and outs.

I am interested in setting up autopatch for my node using an inexpensive (and preferably pay-as-you-go), Bring Your Own Device VoIP service. Am soliciting recommendations for VoIP service providers and for information on making the modifications to the node for making it work. Thanks for any/all help, and Happy New Year!
