To ring a phone you'll want to add this to extensions.conf (this is a rough idea, and there may be other ways to implement it): exten => *9,1,Answer exten => *9,n,Dial(ZAP/x,10) exten => *9,n,Voicemail(mailbox, options, etc.) exten => *9,n,Hangup In priority 2 (the second line), the "x" after zap represents the zap channel on the TDM400 you are using, and the "10" indicates the amount in seconds of ringtime. If no one answers within 10 seconds, then it goes to voicemail. I've not done much with setting up voicemail from scratch, but there is some good documentation here to use as a guide: http://www.asterisk.org/docs/asterisk/trunk/applications/voicemail?type=applications&value=VoiceMail This will give you roughly what you are trying to accomplish, I think you'll need to setup voicemail.conf for email notification etc. Hope this helps, and anyone please feel free to correct me if any of my syntax is wrong :) Stephen K1LNX On Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 9:53 AM, Ken Page <vk4akp@yahoo.com.au> wrote:
Hi Guys,
Could do with some help with some idea's if possible?
I'd like to add a feature so people on the repeater can dial the console phone here on the TDM400P card.
The idea is they dial say *9 and it goes to the TDM400P phone. If no answer after X amount of rings it diverts to voice mail. The voice mail is then sent to my email address.
Wondering if anyone has any configs for this sort of thing already that I could have?
I've also added a cheap C-Media CM-108 USB dongle to the system that I'd like to drop a scanner on. There's no need for PTT COS etc as it's only for RX only . I'm also wondering if anyone has or would like to start a node list for receive only devices like this. Similar to the PTT_Link nodes? I'm yet to get this USB dongle up on the Asterisk box but I'm sure it's only a config thing I have missed somewhere if someone is interested in looking at it for me?

To SSH to your machine from the outside world - i.e. to access it from another location, such as the office - you will need to know the public IP address of your internet connection and, additionally, you will need to have the port that is set-up for SSH (222 by default) forwarded to your Linux box.
If your internet connection is assigned a dynamic IP address (and many are), then this will change each time you re-connect to the net. In this case, I recommend signing-up to one of the free Dynamic DNS services out there, then you will have a name (e.g. AllStarNode@dyndns.org) that you can use. There are also Dynamic Dns update clients (e.g. ddclient), that you install on your PC which will keep the dynamic DNS server updated with your address. Alternatively, many ADSL routers support automatic Dynamic DNS updates.
It sounds like a lot, but it's pretty straightforward.
To discover your present public IP address, type "curl whatismyip.org" at the console prompt.
Bottom line is that the one thing that you don't actually need to access your Linux machine from the outside world is its own hostname :-)
I hope that helps a little.

I am having trouble finding the Hostname/fqdn of my server. It's needed so I may remote/SSH using Putty. If I type Hostname at the command prompt I get the correct 1 word "hostname" but this it isn't enough I'm sure to remote SSH. app_rpt was installed using the ACID iso. What would I need to do? Thanks, Gene KC2WDZ
