Asterisk is a telephony engine and toolkit. It handles things like pbx (switching calls), and interactive voice response system (ivr), a voicemail system etc.
NOTE: This app is in ALPHA stage!
Asterisk Notes
- due to the way the make file is written for asterisk it requires the kernel-devel files to be present and a link to them placed in /usr/src
- the zaptel and asterisks makefile rely on this when performing an install from source
- installing Asterisk from the repo installs the 1.6beta9 currently, this has a know issue with the optional ldap authentication causing the Asterisk server to crash which should be fixed in beta 10. -more info at http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2008/07/24/open-source-telephony-a-fedora-based-voip-server-with-asterisk/
- using the default behavior to configure the users and access through the sip.conf and the other related files should avoid any ldap bugs
- installing the common components from the repo currently works and provides a base Asterisk server which will need to be manually configured and started (yum install asterisk asterisk-alsa asterisk-voicemail asterisk-voicemail-plain)
- note that installing all components will require more configuration of all of the individual components and *.conf files
- the asterisk-sounds package required for the echo test and voicemail may not be available due to licensing questions, but should be available from other sources or the Asterisk website as source to be unpacked into the proper directory (/usr/share/asterisk/sounds).
