Asterisk Up and Running
I’ve had some free time the past few days, so I started up one of my old projects: building a PBX. It turns out that my project server was several versions out of date, so I had to download the latest Trixbox ISO. Trixbox is an open source operating system and software stack that makes Asterisk very easy to manage. I pulled out an older model FXS 4 port module that was made by Audiocodes and spent several hours trying to get it to work. After much frustration I now have a working Asterisk system. The next step is to connect it into my existing home wiring, but that is proving difficult. All of the wiring in this house (including phone lines) seems to have been an after thought, as nothing was connected or routed properly. Go figure. It’ll take me a while to figure out where everything goes.
