SWITCHING
AND ROUTING SYSTEMS PROJECT 2023-2024
ASSUMPTIONS:
1. The AsteriskNOW IP
PBX
installed on a CentOS virtual machine. It will be downloaded in the C:\SCR
folder on the laboratory workstation from:
https://el.el.obs.utcluj.ro/scr/pdf/AsteriskNOW.zip.
2. It is
mandatory to build the project using the indicated software version. The
practical demonstration will be performed on the laboratory workstations.
3. The hypervisor used
for x86 computers (Windows operating system) is Oracle VM Virtual Box 7.0.14. It will be downloaded in the C:\SCR folder on
the laboratory workstation from the web page: https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.0.14/VirtualBox-7.0.14-161095-Win.exe
or from https://el.el.obs.utcluj.ro/scr/pdf/VirtualBox-7.0.14-161095-Win.exe
After installing the
hypervisor, the AsteriskNOW VM will be added using
the “Add” command in the “Machine”
tab. Right-click on “Start” and use the option “Normal Start”.
4. The administrator is
the user root with
the password asteriskcloud.
5. The IP address set
for the AsteriskNOW VM depends on the DHCP
server of the Internet Service
Provider (for
example: 10.134.2.220).
6. The used softphones
are: MicroSIP (using the SIP protocol) and ZoIPer (using IAX2 only in this project, although it allows
also SIP). They will be downloaded in the C:\SCR folder on the laboratory workstation from:
è MicroSIP 3.21.3
https://www.microsip.org/downloads
The installation kit
is available also at:
https://el.el.obs.utcluj.ro/scr/pdf/MicroSIP-3.21.3.exe
è ZoIPer5.6.4
(the newest version):
https://www.zoiper.com/en/voip-softphone/download/current
The installation kit
is available also at:
https://el.el.obs.utcluj.ro/scr/pdf/Zoiper_Installer_5.6.4.exe
7. Other versions of MicroSIP and ZoIPer software
terminals (simpler, but sometimes not working properly on Windows 10 64-bit):
è MicroSIP Lite 3.21.3
The installation
kit is available also at:
https://el.el.obs.utcluj.ro/scr/pdf/MicroSIP-Lite-3.21.3.exe
è ZoIPer2.39 (the
oldest version)
The installation kit
is available only at:
https://el.el.obs.utcluj.ro/scr/pdf/Zoiper_Free_2.39_Installer.exe
8. The softphones
running on the workstations will use the following IP addresses, statically
assigned in
https://el.el.obs.utcluj.ro/scr/pdf/Projects_assignment.pdf
9. The
configuration of the AsteriskNOW file will be performed
using the CLI (command line interface). Configurations using the graphical user
interface (FreePBX or others) are prohibited.
PROJECT REQUIREMENTS:
1. Create a dial plan for
an Asterisk IP PBX with at least two SIP subscribers having the phone numbers
1XYZ and 2XYZ, and at least two IAX2 subscribers having the phone numbers 3XYZ
and 4XYZ. The three parameters are:

NOTES:
1. SIP subscribers (1XYZ,
2XYZ) do not have access to IAX2 subscribers (3XYZ, 4XYZ) functions and vice
versa.
2. Each of the following
subscribers: 1XYZ, 2XYZ, 3XYZ and 4XYZ must be able to call all other defined
subscribers.
3. Y≠Z.
REQUIREMENTS FOR WRITING AND DEFENDING
THE PROJECT:
·
Each team must know and be able to explain the purpose of the
executed Asterisk commands.
·
The source code MUST contain explanatory comments.
·
Each team will PRINT 2 COPIES of the following files: extensions.conf, sip.conf, iax.conf (in their
original format with Courier New 10 font, as in /etc/asterisk/). The code must NOT be modified (for
esthetical considerations) by editing using Microsoft Word, OpenOffice etc.!!!
The source code should run in the
presented format.
·
Furthermore all other configuration files which are mandatory for
functions Y and Z will be uploaded (even if they have not been modified!),
e.g.: musiconhold.conf, meetme.conf, voicemail.conf etc.
