how to integrate asterisk Extensions and PSTN hunting Line

Question

can any one point me the best tutorial link for integrating pstn line and sip extension from vicidial now server

Currently i am using VicidialNow CE 1.1, i have created 20 extensions where internal calls are possible. I want to add a PSTN hunting line (ie with 10 channels) so that , extensions can call each other and can also call a trunk or outside with certain prefix ex. 99.

Which device would work best for me?

Can anyone please help me out.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

for connecting the pstn you need pstn cards or gateways or voip trunk u can check this link for the configuring the digium pstn cards in goautodial http://striker24x7.blogspot.in/2012/04/configuring-digium-cards-with-asterisk.html

Answer 2

There are two things I would sugest:

1. Read Asterisk: The Future of Telephony (available here as a free pdf)
2. Use a gui, such as FreePBX (which you can get packaged as an iso along with linux, lamp, asterisk, etc)

If you want to go with pure dialplan, your want something along the lines of:

[some-context]
exten => s,1,Dial(Tech/User1)
exten => s,n,Dial(Tech/User2)
exten => s,n,Dial(Tech/User3)

If you go with FreePBX, look at the Ring Groups or Queues module.
