Minor Change: eliminate references to Jose Maria's recipe.
Goal (short description)
Goal of this HOWTO is to configure VoIP gateway between SIP and E1 using opensource PBX Asterisk.
Applicability
It is applicable for:
- VoIP provider who wants to offer services for customers unsing EuroISDN PRI as conectivity to PSTN
- Organisation whichs want to connect their existing PBX with EuroISDN PRI or QSIG port(s) to SIP provider
- Organisation which wants to interconect two existing PBXes with EuroISDN PRI or QSIG connectivity using IP and SIP
Prerequisites (OS, dependencies on other software)
- Server with some linux distribution
- ISDN30 PCI card inside this server
- PBX with EuroISDN or QSIG connectivity or EuroISDN PRI connectivity to PSTN
Configuration (OS agnostic)
Install Asterisk
First it is needed to install Asterisk. In most distributions, this should be easy because Asterisk is packaged with your distro. So use your distribution package manager to install. This howto is not made to focus on installation step. See 3.1.2. Setting up SIP voice services for an institution with Asterisk (Jose Maria-draft)
Install HW drivers
You have to be sure that drivers for your ISDN PRI card are working. Simplest way is probably to install zaptel drivers (or it is together with your Asterisk package from your distro). See 3.1.2. Setting up SIP voice services for an institution with Asterisk (Jose Maria-draft)
Ensure that hardware is working
If your hardware is working, you should be able to see something like:

Next,

we

have

to

setup

SIP

side

of

our

...
We

in

your

be

unique.
...
Putting

your

real

domain
...
there
...
is
...
realy
...
good
...
point
...
of
...
start.
...
But
...
remember,
...
this
...
domain
...
and
...
realm
...
setting
...
has
...
to
...
corespond
...
to

settings

in

see

above.
...
Only

opensource

If

you

buy

own

...
you

can

enable

it.
...
Again,

set

fit

your

needs.
...
Localnets
...
are

defined
...
to
...
better

recognisation
...
of
...
NAT.
...
Lines
...
starting
...
with
...
jb
...
are
...
turning
...
on
...
jitterbuffer
...
which
...
is
...
good
...
to
...
enable.
...
Next,
...
we
...
define
...
phones
...
which
...
we
...
will
...
use.
...
In
...
example,
...
we
...
use
...
3-digit
...
dialplan
...
and
...
we
...
are
...
starting
...
with
...
number
...
200.
...
Define
...
next
...
sip
...
clients
...
to
...
fit
...
your
...
needs.
...
It
...
is
...
good
...
if
...
username
...
corespond
...
with
...
peer
...
name
...
(name
...
in
...
[]).
...
It
...
is
...
possible
...
to
...
use
...
database
...
for
...
storing
...
SIP
...
users,
...
which
...
is
...
better
...
for
...
bigger

we

Now

we

We

assume

that

we

this

In

we

use

better

that

Similary,

strips

one

...
For

we

created
