	Astrerisk is a free call process, provides support for cards like T1 - it acts like a gateway, or you can employ a service (server to act as the card or gateway) It has become much better over the last five years and has been aroud for 7 or 8 but was no very stable in the beginning. You will find it built into most open source services. You can get asterisk to work on windows but it is not designed for that. The 7900 series of cisco phones work well with asterisk and can get a 7960 for around 20 bucks on ebay.

			Notes 2011 11 30

			The problem with the asterisk install was the age of the operating system. The fix is to upgrade the Ubuntu OS to a later version that is compatible with the current asterisk distribution.

			The upgrade process includes the following.
			1. login
			2. become root via the command
			sudo bash
			3. Edit the file, /etc/apt/sources.list. Change the phrase, maverick, to the phrase, nantty, on every line.
			The vi command phrase is :1,$s/maverick/nantty/g
			4. Update via the command
			aptitude update
			5. Install the upgrade via the command
			aptitude full-upgrade

Astrerisk is a free call process, provides support for cards like T1 - it acts like a gateway, or you can employ a service (server to act as the card or gateway) It has become much better over the last five years and has been aroud for 7 or 8 but was no very stable in the beginning. You will find it built into most open source services. You can get asterisk to work on windows but it is not designed for that. The 7900 series of cisco phones work well with asterisk and can get a 7960 for around 20 bucks on ebay.

We will be using Oracle's VirtualBox to download Asterisk to. You will need to create a storage space on your D drive. Make a new folder with your name and semester "Name-FA11" then close.

Next open up VirtualBox ''settings'' and under ''general'' in the default box find the folder you just made and click ok. Your information will now be saved there.

Next create a new virtual machine by clicking on new machine under OS click on Linux, click ''next'', under RAM use 768 , click ''next'', create new hard disk, click next, VDI, next, Dynammically allocated, next location Astersiks server, default, ''next'', then click ''create''. You should now see that your VM has been created.

You will now nee to change the settings under the network by simply clicking on Network and under network click on adapter and on attatched and change to bridged.

**Next under storage CD/DVD Drive: click icon beside arrow change to choose a virtual disk CNT files under Linux then Ubuntu 10.10. asterisk tty1
You will get a couple of warnings, click on through them. Under language choose your language (English is the only one Franske will have support for) US, enter, under keyboard click no, enter, enter, it will the start to load. Under hostname use Asterisk, enter, yes, enter, enter, under partition move to yes click ''continue''. Make changes to disks move to yes, ''continue''. The base system will now be installed. enter your name in lowercase, password cisco, cisco again yes, no for encrypting and down arrow for no http proxy ''continue'' and it will continue installing choose no automatic updates. Under software selection leave them all blank by using tab key to tab through to select continue after installation select yes to install bootloader. Finish by clicking on devices and click on CD/DVD and make sure there is no check mark beside ubuntu. then click continue

Type your name and password that you entered
You are not automatically admin to become the admin you have to enter: sudo bash You will see a # to confirm that you are now admin. We will now edit a file by typing: nano /etc/apt/sources.list (nano is the text editor and etc is the file) Click control W US. archive.ubuntu.com
