font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: medium;"></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: medium;">Note: I know this is seriously out of date.  I have not been able to update it, and I don't expect that to change for the forseeable future.  Still, many people continue to find it useful so I will keep the page around for a while longer.  I cannot provide help or answer questions on it, however.</span></div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: medium;"><br /> </span><br /> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: medium;">The state of open source software has progressed to the point where you can set up your own IP PBX at home in a single evening, with a minimum of investment needed.  All you need is explicit instructions, which is what I provide here.</span></div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: medium;"> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> In past times, it would have been quite costly to have a "personal" PBX.  Using spare hardware, open source software, and low-cost service providers, it can now be done for almost nothing.  The key advance is the open source Asterisk IP PBX and the Asterisk@Home package that includes Asterisk and a web-based GUI configuration tool.</div> <div align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: right;"> <br /></div> <h2 style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; margin: 12pt 0in 3pt; page-break-after: avoid;"> The Components</h2> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> You will have to set up three main components: the IP PBX itself, the phones (or softphones) to be used with <span class="GramE">it,</span> and the gateway service that lets you call other people on the PSTN.  I will describe how to set up each of these.  I assume you already have a home network and broadband access.  If you are behind a NAT firewall, it does not matter – you don't have to do anything special like running the IP PBX outside the NAT.  All that matters is that you have enough bandwidth (upstream and downstream) to carry voice traffic.</div> <h3 style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 12pt 0in 3pt; page-break-after: avoid;"> The IP PBX</h3> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> You will need a computer to run the IP PBX.  While you may already have a Linux server at home, I do not recommend using it to also run your phones.  If you want to do that, you will have to figure out how to load and configure the PBX software on your own, although the rest of the instructions here will be helpful.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> If you have an old PIII class machine lying around, then use that.  If not, you can buy one on eBay for about $40.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> I used a Dell OptiPlex GX1, a PIII 450MHz system with 128M RAM.  It has a built-in sound and Ethernet, so no additional hardware is required.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> You will load Asterisk@Home on this computer.  It will take it over – it starts by formatting the hard disk, so make sure there is nothing on the machine that you want to keep.  Detailed instructions are given below.</div> <h3 style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 12pt 0in 3pt; page-break-after: avoid;"> Phones</h3> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> You can buy SIP phones from Grandstream, SNOM, Cisco, even Avaya.  Or you can buy an adapter from SNOM or Cisco and use an analog phone.  To get started, though, it is easiest to get a softphone and run it on another computer.  We will describe how to obtain and install the XLite softphone on a Windows machine to use for a phone.  You will also use this Windows machine to administer the IP PBX, through a browser.  If you want to use a Linux machine instead, you will need to get an appropriate softphone for it, but you can still use its browser to administer the IP PBX.</div> <h3 style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 12pt 0in 3pt; page-break-after: avoid;"> SIP Gateway</h3> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> I presume you want to communicate with others on the PSTN network, so you need to obtain gateway service.  Since part of the call is being carried on the circuit switched network, it costs real money.  This means you will have to pay for this part of the system. </div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> I will describe how to set up access to two services, one for outgoing calls and another for incoming calls.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> VoipJet is used for outgoing calls.  It is priced at 1.3 cents per minute (USA), with no monthly minimum or service charges.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> BroadVoice is used for incoming calls.  You get a phone number (you can choose the area code and exchange).  They have various plans, but I signed up for one that is $5.95 per month, with unlimited incoming minutes. You can also make outgoing calls using this account (it includes 100 minutes per month, and 3.9 cents per minute additional).  There is a $9.95 one time activation fee to sign up for BroadVoice.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> So if you have the hardware, you can set up your IP PBX for a total of $9.95 and run it for $5.95 per month.    </div> <h3 style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 12pt 0in 3pt; page-break-after: avoid;"> Home Network</h3> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> I assume you have a home network, and that you are setting up behind a Gateway Router (otherwise known as a NAT firewall).   You will need to pick a static IP address for your IP PBX that is on your home network. </div> <h2 style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; margin: 12pt 0in 3pt; page-break-after: avoid;"> How Much Will This Cost?</h2> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> I assume you have broadband service, a router, and a Windows machine to run the softphone. </div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> If you already have a spare computer that you can dedicate to this project, there is no cost at all for equipment, unless you need to buy an audio headset for the softphone.  If you <i>do not</i> have a spare computer, then you can buy one on eBay for about $60, including shipping.  This does not include a monitor, but you don't need a monitor except briefly when you first set it up.  I assume you can borrow a monitor (or that you have a KVM switch).</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> Your only other initial cost will be the $9.95 activation fee to BroadVoice.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> Your monthly cost will be $5.95 for incoming service from BroadVoice, and 1.3 cents per minute for outgoing calls to VoipJet.  If you only make a few outgoing calls, you could drop VoipJet, and stay within the 100 outgoing minutes that you get from BroadVoice.  If, say, you use 100 minutes of VoipJet outgoing calls, it would cost an additional $1.30.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> So you can build and experiment with your own IP PBX for an investment of less than $100, and for an ongoing cost of less than $100 per year.  This is a lot less than I am now paying for my phone service from AT&T.  In fact, a whole year's service would be less than my monthly phone bill.  <span class="GramE">Hmmm…</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> <br /></div> <h2 style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; margin: 12pt 0in 3pt; page-break-after: avoid;"> Step 1 – Sign Up for Service</h2> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> This section takes you through signing up with VoipJet and BroadVoice.  I am using two <span class="GramE">service</span> because</div> <ol start="1" style="margin-bottom: 0in;

font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> You should also click on the "Support Center" link on the left and bring up the "Step By Step Installation Guide" for "Bring Your Own Devices."  Select "Asterisk."  You must follow the instructions in Section 3 to find the "right proxy" to use.  This involves <span class="GramE">pinging</span> their proxies to find which has the lowest latency.  You will use this later.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';

font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;"> The digital receptionist set up involves a series of screens and actions, not all of which will be illustrated.  Part of the setup includes recording a message to be played to callers.  You can record this independently, and download the MP3 file, or you can use XLite to dial in and make the recording.  The latter method will be illustrated.  In general, the setup instructions are clear and explicit, so this will only give the essentials.</div> <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;"> Click "Digital Receptionist" on the left.  Enter <span style="font-family: "courier new";">200</span> as the current extension number.  On XLite, dial <span style="font-family: "courier new";">*77</span> and record a message.  It goes something like this:</div> <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;"> <i>Hello.  You have reached Charles Hayden's experimental Asterisk phone system.  You can dial a three digit extension.  Dial 1 to ring all <span class="GramE">extensions .</span> Or dial pound for a directory.</i></div> <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';

Remember that you need to dial 1 followed by a 10 digit number. If it does then <b><i>pat yourself on the back!</i></b> Only a few more steps are needed to get incoming calls to work (you can try to call your BroadVoice number, but it won't work yet).</div> <h3 style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 12pt 0in 3pt; page-break-after: avoid;"> Set Up Incoming Calls</h3> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> Now we will set up incoming calls to go to the digital receptionist.  Choose the "Incoming Calls" link, and click the "Digital Receptionist" "top greeting".</div> <div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"> <img border="0" height="503" src="http://chayden.net/Asterisk/SeUpAsteriskAtHome_files/image026.jpg" width="575" /></div> <h3 style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 12pt 0in 3pt; page-break-after: avoid;"> Edit extensions.conf</h3> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> So far we've done everything through the AMP web GUI. Now we have to drop into editing text files. This is obviously not desirable, but this is how it is right now, so you have to go through this.  You can edit extensions.conf through the AMP web GUI.   Click the <span style="font-family: "courier new";">Maintenance</span> link at the top of the AMP page and then click the <span style="font-family: "courier new";">Config Edit</span> link in the left-hand menu.

This means that all incoming calls will ring fast-busy to the caller and they will never make it into our AAH system.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> There are four lines under the <span style="font-family: "courier new";">[from-sip-external]</span> section.

If everything went smoothly, you should now be ready to test an inbound call to your AAH system. From a phone (POTS or cell, either will do) dial your BroadVoice number. You <i>should</i> hear your greeting! At this point you'll probably be giddy that it's all working. Go ahead and listen to your greeting a few times (dial 9 to repeat it). Then either dial "1" or your extension and your SIP phone should start ringing. You now have Asterisk@Home configured and working with your BroadVoice account.</div> <h3 style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 12pt 0in 3pt; page-break-after: avoid;"> Set up Passwords</h3> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';

I guess people who tried it and did not like it are selling their used adapters.  Just make sure you get one that is "unlocked".  Apparently Vonage adapters are set up so that you cannot modify the critical SIP parameters, and are not usable with Asterisk.  Other service providers such as <span class="GramE">BroadVoice,</span> do not lock their devices.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> I bought a used Sipura SPA-2002.  I have also tried this with a Sipura 1000 and it works about the same.  Setting it up was pretty easy. </div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 41.9pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> 1.<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;">      </span>Set up an extension, as before, in the AMP Setup/Extensions screen. </div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 41.9pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> 2.<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;">      </span>Plug it into Ethernet and connect a phone.  When you apply power, it gets an IP address from DHCP. </div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 41.9pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> 3.<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;">      </span>You need to get the IP address.  Pick up the phone, dial "<span style="font-family: "courier new";">****</span>" and then dial "<span style="font-family: "courier new";">110#</span>".

font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;"> I will be adding to these instructions from time to time as I experiment with additional features, service providers, and subsequent releases.  If you have suggestions, corrections, or comments on these instructions, I welcome your feedback.  Please send commands to <a href="mailto:cchayden@gmail.com" style="color: blue;

The reason that this is possible is that Vonage, Skype, and other VoIP providers fundamentally must be able to fake caller ID in order to route calls from the internet onto public phone networks (so presumably they've been doing some lobbying over the years).<br /> <b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">A Brief Technical Overview of Caller ID Spoofing:</b><br /> What we'll do is register a free account at an ITSP, or Internet Telephony Service Provider, which acts as the bridge between the internet and the public American (or otherwise) analog telephony networks. We'll then configure the ITSP to use the White House's phone number as our outbound caller ID. Finally, we'll connect to the ITSP using a free VoIP client, or softphone, to make our call using a PC.<br /> <div style="margin: 0px 0px 1.571em; padding: 0px;"> <b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The 10-Minute Step-by-Step Process:</b></div> <ol style="margin: 0px 0px 1.571em 1.571em; padding: 0px;"> <li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Register a free account on <a href="http://www.sipgate.com/" style="color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">SIPGate.com.</a></li> <li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Download <a href="http://www.counterpath.com/x-lite.html" style="color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">X-Lite</a>, a free VoIP client.</li> <li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Log in to SIPGate, then go to Settings–>Caller ID.</li> <li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Enter 202-456-2121 as the Caller ID and click "Save."</li> <li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Go back to your SIPGate Settings screen and click "SIP Credentials."</li> <li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Leave that window alone for a moment.</li> <li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Open X-Lite and go to Menu–>SIP Account Settings–>Add.</li> <li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Use <a href="http://www.sipgate.com/faq/article/397/How_do_I_set_up_my_VoIP_device" style="color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">these instructions</a> to configure your SIP Account Settings on X-Lite using your SIP Credentials.</li> <li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Dial any number and enjoy!</li> </ol> <br /><br /></div>
