Scratch Install Debian

Asterisk/astguiclient install from scratch. v.2.0.4 2007-12-04
By Mike Lord
mxtreme311@mac.com

**** IMPORTANT - In order for vicidial/astguiclient to function correctly please
read the REQUIREMENTS.txt in the vicidial package for a minimum requirements list. ***

End-user Manuals for Agents and Managers are available from http://www.eflo.net


This document is meant to be a very in-depth step-by-step explanation of
installing the Asterisk open-source PBX on a Linux 64 bit system and also installing
the astGUIclient suite. The instructions will assume starting from nothing and
will try to give several side step instructions to account for some differences
in choices of hardware and software.

The actual installation that I am doing as I write these instructions will be on
the following hardware:

- Pentium D 2.66 GHz
- Intel motherboard D945GNT
- 1 GB DDR2 800MHz RAM
- 80GB Western Digital SATA 7200RPM Hard Drive
- Digium TE200P
- 2U rackmount case with 450W power supply
- Phone hardware will be a Linksys SPA-941 SIP Phone

The following is assumed for these installation procedures:
- You have access to a CD burner and 1 blank CDs
- You have some sort of broadband internet connection
- You understand basic linux commands and can use a file editor like vi or nano
- You have all of the necessary hardware:
- a pentium-class computer
- a digium telco interface card with appropriate telco lines
- at least 1 SIP VOIP device
- a Local Area Network(LAN) with extra ports enough for the new server
and the number of phones you want

Having installed numerous systems I've found that the dual core Intel and AMD processors definitely
outperform the single core systems. If you do use a Pentium 4 processor that has hyperthreading MAKE
SURE the hyperthreading is turned off in the BIOS. I have notices that hyperthreading actually
decreases the system performance when using asterisk.



PHASE 1: INSTALLING AN OPERATING SYSTEM


This installation will be using Debian Etch 4.0 (for x86_64) for the linux distribution,
Debian Etch or Sarge for non 64-bit machines will also work with these instructions. At the time
of writing this document Debian 4.0 (Etch) is the stable release.

*** UPDATE: On most of our production machines we are now using Debian Lenny (testing version) as
we have found that the 2.6.18 kernel used in Etch has some issues with the Zaptel drivers.

There are several other linux distributions and some are more popular, but we have done
numerous benchmark tests and found Debian to be the best performing distro that
is still easy to use and maintain.

1. For the 64-bit Etch installer download:
- http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r1/amd64/iso-cd/debian-40r1-amd64-netinst.iso
For the 32-bit Etch installer download:
- http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r1/i386/iso-cd/debian-40r1-i386-netinst.iso
For the 64-bit Lenny installer download:
- http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso
For the 32-bit Lenny installer download:
- http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso
- burn it to a CD.


2. Insert the Debian install CD you just burned into your CDROM drive and boot to it.
3. At the first prompt choose the language you would like to system to use.
4. Choose the country the system will be located in.
5. Choose the keyboard layout you would like to use.
6. The next portion of the installer is for setting up your network, you may be prompted to choose your
primary ethernet interface, do so. If not the installer will show that it is "Configuring the Network
with DHCP" if you choose cancel, you can assign a static IP address, if you have a DHCP server it will
get a dynamic address.
7. The next prompt will ask you how you would like to partition your hard drive, choose "Guided - use
entire disk"
8. Choose the disk you would like to use
9. Choose "All files in one partition"
10. Choose "Finish partitioning and write changes to disk"
11. On the next screen choose "Yes".
12. Choose the appropriate time zone where the server will be installed.
13. Now the installer will ask you to create a root password as well as a standard user. Do so, and remember the
passwords that you have created. After you have entered these, the installer will install the base system onto
the hard drive.
14. Once the base system is installed the installer will ask you if you would like to choose a network mirror to
download the additional software from. Choose "Yes".
15. Choose the appropriate country from the list.
16. Choose the mirror that suits you best, we always use "ftp.debian.org"
17. Enter your proxy information or if you don't have a proxy, just hit enter.
18. Choose whether or not you would like to participate in the package usage survey
19. On the "Software Selection" screen, make sure that "Standard System" is the only box checked, and choose continue.
20. Once the installer has downloaded and installed all the remaining packages, it will ask you if you would like
the GRUB boot loader installed to the master boot record. Choose "Yes".
21. The system will now eject your CD-ROM, you have completed the installation of the OS. Choose continue to
restart your system from the hard-drive.
22. Login to the system
23. Remove the CD-ROM as a package source:
- type: "nano /etc/apt/sources.list" at the command prompt
- remove the lines that begin with "deb cdrom:"
- save and exit nano
- at the command line type: "apt-get update"
- once that completes, type: "apt-get install ssh" type "y" when prompted
this will install ssh so you can access the machine remotely using your favorite SSH program


PHASE 3: INSTALLING SOFTWARE BEFORE ASTERISK

In this step we will be installing software that Asterisk and/or astGUIclient
needs to be able to function to its fullest ability. Not all of these software
packages are manditory to successfully install Asterisk and some of them can be
installed on other machines on your network like MySQL or Apache. But, in this
installation we are assuming that there are no other machines on our network to
help the Asterisk server, so it must have everything it needs installed locally.

SUBPHASE 3.1: Debian Package Requirements

The following Debian packages are required to enable Asterisk and VICIDIAL to
function properly.

1. First lets make sure we're running the latest kernel and have all the kernel
header files:
For 64-bit installations:
- type: "apt-get install linux-image-2.6-amd64 linux-headers-2.6-amd64"
For 32-bit installations with a AMD K7 or later processor:
- type: "apt-get install linux-image-2.6-k7 linux-headers-2.6-k7"
For 32-bit installations with a Intel Pentium II or later processor:
- type: "apt-get install linux-image-2.6-686 linux-headers-2.6-686"

2. Now let's install the other required debian packages:
- type: "apt-get install bison openssl libssl0.9.8 libssl-dev libeditline0 libeditline-dev libedit-dev make"
- type: "apt-get install libedit2 libncurses5 libncurses5-dev unzip zip libnewt-dev libnewt0.52 gcc g++"

3. Now lets reboot to make sure that the new kernel is running:
- type: "shutdown -r 0"

4. Log back in, and we'll continue to install the required perl module packages:
- type: "apt-get install libdigest-sha1-perl" (answer "y" at all prompts)
- type: "apt-get install libreadline5 libterm-readline-perl-perl readline-common" (answer "y" at all prompts)

SUBPHASE 3.2: MySQL requirements

You must at least have Mysql client installed on each VICIDIAL server, but you
only need one database server.

MySQL is a fast database system that is very easy to integrate with any
application. You can either install the server on the local Asterisk system or
have one somewhere on your network. For our purposes, we are creating an Asterisk
installation that is self contained and needs no other local servers to operate,
so we will need to install mysql on this machine.
*REQUIRED and OPTIONAL* (only install MySQL server locally if you don't want to use an installation
on another machine, Mysql client is required on all VICIDIAL servers)

Client and server install if this server is going to be your database server as well as the VICIDIAL server:
- type: "apt-get install mysql-client mysql-server" (answer "y" at all prompts)
- edit the config file "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" comment out this line:
- bind-address = 127.0.0.1
- you are done

Client only install if this server is not going to house your databases:
- type: "apt-get install mysql-client" (answer "y" at all prompts)
- you are done


SUBPHASE 3.3: Installing Perl Modules

cpan is the "Comprehensive Perl Archive Network". It's a mirrored archive of
most of the perl modules out there complete with a installation and management
command-line interface. Here's what you do to start it:
*REQUIRED* (needed for perl AGIs)

1. type: "apt-get install libi18n-charset-perl libunicode-map-perl libunicode-map8-perl libunicode-maputf8-perl" (answer "y" at all prompts)
2. type: "apt-get install libreadline5 libterm-readline-perl-perl readline-common libole-storage-lite-perl" (answer "y" at all prompts)
type: "apt-get install libspreadsheet-parseexcel-perl libspreadsheet-writeexcel-perl libjcode-perl libjcode-pm-perl" (answer "y" at all prompts)
type: "apt-get install libproc-process-perl libio-stringy-perl libnet-telnet-perl libnet-server-perl libmd5-perl" (answer "y" at all prompts)
3. type: "cpan"
4. You will then go through CPAN setup, just hit ENTER for most prompts except
for the mirrors list, you will want to select at least 4 mirrors
- yes for manual configuration
- enter for the next 18 prompts
- for the "make install options" it's a good idea to add UNINST=1
- enter for the next 4 prompts
- select your continent and country
- select a few cpan mirrors
- enter for the next 2 prompts
5. Once you see the cpan> prompt you can begin installing modules
6. If you've never installed cpan before you should probably install the
following modules first: (say YES if asked to install prerequisites)
- install Time::HiRes
- install Proc::ProcessTable
- then quit cpan, you are done
7. Go to http://asterisk.gnuinter.net/ and download the asterisk-perl module
(backup link: http://www.freedomphones.net/files/asterisk-perl-0.08.tar.gz)
NOTE: Do NOT use the 0.09 version, it does not work with VICIDIAL
- to install this directly on the command line type:
- cd /usr/local

- tar xvf asterisk-perl-0.08.tar
- cd asterisk-perl-0.08
- perl Makefile.PL
- make all
- make install
- you are done



SUBPHASE 3.4: Installing other utilities

1. Sox
Sox is an audio utility that allows you to mix audio files together at their
start point into one file. it is necessary for Asterisk recordings that record
in and out as separate files
*REQUIRED* (needed for recording mixing)

mpg123 is the mp3 player for asterisk and is used for music-on-hold
applications. We do not usually use it on our system, but to be more
comprehensive we will give the directions to install it.
*OPTIONAL* (only if you want to use Astrisk's music-on-hold)

- to install this directly on the command line type:
- apt-get install mpg123 (answer "y" at all prompts)
- you are done


4. Screen
Screen is a terminal emulator that allows you to run a process as command line
and be able to detach from them('Ctrl+a' then 'd') and log all output of the
terminal to a screenlog file if desired(add a '-L' to the launching command).
In our installations this is how we launch Asterisk upon startup and still have
the ability to log output and still attach to the screen that executed asterisk
originally.
*REQUIRED* *MANDITORY FOR VICIDIAL SERVERS*

- to install this directly on the command line type:
- apt-get install screen (answer "y" at all prompts)
- you are done


5. ttyload
ttyload is a simple terminal application that shows the processor load in a
graphical time-based scrolling graph. We use it to view how loaded the system is
and it visualizes load spikes very well
*OPTIONAL* (only for obsessive admins like me)

with the time of a master server somewhere in the world. We use it to make sure
the time is the same on our client computers and our servers.
*MANDITORY FOR VICIDIAL SERVERS* (install on server and all clients)

- to install this directly on the command line type:
- apt-get install ntp ntpdate (answer "y" at all prompts)
- you are done


7. iftop
iftop is a good console bandwidth visualization tool that shows you active
connections, where they are going to/from and how much of your precious bandwidth
they are using. *OPTIONAL*

- to install this directly on the command line type:
- apt-get install iftop (answer "y" at all prompts)
- you are done


8. ploticus
ploticus is a free graph creation package that allows you to create line graphs
within PNG files simply by creating a config file and a data file. We use this
package along with the included PHP script to generate server performance graphs
that can be displayed real-time on a web page.
*OPTIONAL* (only needed for server performance graphing web reports)

- to install this directly on the command line type:
- apt-get install ploticus (answer "y" at all prompts)
- you are done
NOTE: for the graphics to work on the AST_server_performance page you will
need the 'pl' script to be linked or copied into your htdocs/vicidial/ploticus directory


9. apache and php
apache is a web server that allows you to use many different modules with it to
extend it's functionality. In order to use some of the astguiclient
functionalities we need to have Apache and PHP installed on this machine.
*OPTIONAL* (only install Apache and PHP locally if you don't want to use an
installation on another machine)

- to install this directly on the command line type:
- apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-mysql php5-dev (answer "y" at all prompts)
- go to "http://your-new-asterisk-server-ipaddress/" to see if it worked
- you are done

- let's also get the eaccelerator package
- cd /usr/local
- wget http://bart.eaccelerator.net/source/0.9.5.2/eaccelerator-0.9.5.2.zip
- unzip eaccelerator-0.9.5.2.zip
- cd eaccelerator-0.9.5.2
- /usr/bin/phpize
- ./configure --enable-eaccelerator=shared --with-php-config=/usr/bin/php-config
- make
- make install
- edit the php config file
- vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
- add this:
; php eaccelerator
extension="eaccelerator.so"
eaccelerator.shm_size="48"
eaccelerator.cache_dir="/tmp/eaccelerator"
eaccelerator.enable="1"
eaccelerator.optimizer="1"
eaccelerator.check_mtime="1"
eaccelerator.debug="0"
eaccelerator.filter=""
eaccelerator.shm_max="0"
eaccelerator.shm_ttl="0"
eaccelerator.shm_prune_period="0"
eaccelerator.shm_only="0"
eaccelerator.compress="1"
eaccelerator.compress_level="9"
- also change the line:
memory_limit = 16M
- to:
memory_limit = 48M
- mkdir /tmp/eaccelerator
- chmod 0777 /tmp/eaccelerator
# to verify installation
- php -v


10. phpsysinfo
phpsysinfo is excellent package to show you real-time system load stats as well as
memory usage and hard drive usage
*OPTIONAL*

- to install this directly on the command line type:
- apt-get install phpsysinfo (answer "y" at all prompts)
- go to "http://your-new-asterisk-server-ipaddress/phpsysinfo/" to see if it worked
- you are done


11. balance
balance is a load-balancing application for Linux that will allow you to spread
the load of your web traffic across many servers. If you are running more than
70 agents on a single server you may want to install this application and build
another cheap web server to handle the extra load.
*OPTIONAL*

- to install this directly on the command line type:
- cd /usr/local
- wget http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/balance/balance-3.34.tgz
- gunzip balance-3.34.tgz

- cd balance-3.34
- make
- make install
- /usr/sbin/balance -f 81 localhost:80 10.10.10.16:80
That command will take port 81 traffic and send it evenly to the local
server and the 10.10.10.16 server reducing the load and speeding up
the applications. More info on balance: http://www.inlab.de/balance.pdf


12. subversion
subversion is the new code control framework use by the Asterisk community. If
you want to use the latest development code of Asterisk you will need to have
this loaded on your system.
*OPTIONAL*

- to install this directly on the command line type:
- apt-get install subversion (answer "y" at all prompts)


13. mtop
mtop is a great utility for real-time monitoring of mysql and the queries that
are running in it.
*OPTIONAL*
- to install this directly on the command line type:
- apt-get install mtop (answer "y" at all prompts)
- /usr/local/bin/mtop --dbuser=root --seconds=3

14. sipsak
sipsak is an optional utility that VICIDIAL can use to send messages to an
agent's SIP-based phone(like the Snom 320) to display text on their LCD screen.
If you want to use this, make sure it is installed on the same server that your
web server is installed on(Apache).
*OPTIONAL*
14. Go to http://sipsak.org to download the most recent version
- to install this directly on the command line, type:
- apt-get install sipsak


PHASE 4: INSTALLING ASTERISK

OK, all the prep work is done, now it's time to start having fun with Asterisk.
There are two basic ways to install Asterisk, an official release(at the time of
this writing the official release is 1.2.24) and the SVN_DEV version(development
branch). We recommend using Asterisk 1.2.24. These instructions are how we get
our Asterisk system with it's T1 line installed with our 2 SIP VOIP devices and
one IAX2 softphone.

NOTE: If you want to use release 1.0.8 or 9 we would recommend either using the
CVS_v1-0_Stable branch where the issues are fixed, or patching your 1.0.8/1.0.9 code
with the following patch:
(http://astguiclient.sourceforge.net/experimental_code/localmasq.patch)
- If you do patch your system make sure you put the asterisk version
field for the server on the admin pages as '1.0.11.1'

1. follow these command line steps:
- mkdir /usr/src/asterisk
- cd /usr/src/asterisk
A. if you want 1.2 release (reliable with new features):
- wget http://downloads.digium.com/pub/asterisk/old-releases/asterisk-1.2.24.tar.gz
- wget http://downloads.digium.com/pub/zaptel/releases/zaptel-1.2.23.tar.gz

- svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/zaptel/trunk zaptel
- svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/libpri/trunk libpri
- ALL ->
- (1.0 tree)if you want to allow for more than 100 voicemail messages in a
mailbox(warning this will slightly increase memory usage when a call
is in voicemail) edit the voicemail source code file:
- vi /usr/src/asterisk/asterisk/apps/app_voicemail.c
edit this line and change 100 to 999:
#define MAXMSG 100
- (1.0 tree)if you have no X server installed on your Asterisk machine, then you
will need to comment out the gtk console lib(only affects stable tree
and 1.0 releases) edit the voicemail source code file:
- vi /usr/src/asterisk/asterisk/pbx/Makefile
edit this line at the top and just add a hash # in front of it as shown:
#PBX_LIBS+=$(shell $(CROSS_COMPILE_BIN)gtk-config --cflags >/dev/null 2>/dev/null && echo "pbx_gtkconsole.so")

- cd ./zaptel-1.2.23
- make clean
- make
- make install
- cd ../libpri-1.2.7
- make clean
- make
- make install
- cd ../asterisk-1.2.24
*** OPTIONAL:
- (1.2 tree) If you want to include Answering Machine Detection ability
you will need to download app_amd.c and amd.conf and alter the
apps/Makefile to compile it properly
- cd apps
- wget http://www.eflo.net/files/app_amd2.c
- mv app_amd2.c app_amd.c
- vi Makefile
replace this line(line 32):
app_mixmonitor.so app_stack.so
with this line:
app_mixmonitor.so app_stack.so app_amd.so
- wget http://www.eflo.net/files/amd2.conf
- mkdir /etc/asterisk
- mv amd2.conf /etc/asterisk/amd.conf
*** OPTIONAL:
- (1.2.23 thru 1.2.24) apply the meetme DTMF passthru patch
- cd apps
- wget http://www.eflo.net/files/meetme_DTMF_passthru-1.2.23.patch
- patch -p1 < ./meetme_DTMF_passthru-1.2.23.patch
- File to patch: app_meetme.c



-*OPTIONAL*(1.2.12.1 thru 1.2.17) apply the meetme volume control patch
- wget http://www.eflo.net/files/meetme_volume_control_1.2.16.patch
- patch -p1 < ./meetme_volume_control_1.2.16.patch
- File to patch: app_meetme.c
- cd ../

-(1.2 tree) apply the cli delimiter patch
- wget http://www.eflo.net/files/cli_chan_concise_delimiter.patch
- patch -p1 < ./cli_chan_concise_delimiter.patch
- File to patch: cli.c

- make clean
- make
- make install
- make samples # this makes sample conf files (only use for new installs)

- (1.2 tree) EXPERIMENTAL!!! If you want to use app_conference
instead of meetme for VICIDIAL then follow these instructions
- cd /usr/src/asterisk
- wget http://www.eflo.net/files/VD_app_conference_0.6.zip
- unzip VD_app_conference_0.6.zip
- cd app_conference
- make clean
- make
- make install

- modprobe zaptel # this loads the zaptel module
- install the module for the digium device that you are using, we are
using the T100P single span T1 card so we use:
- modprobe wct1xxp
Here's the list of all digium cards and the modules you use with
them:
Card Module
-----------------
TDM400P wctdm
X100P wcfxo
TDM* wcfxs
S100U wcusb
T100P wct1xxp
E100P wct1xxp
T400P tor2
E400P tor2
TE110P wcte11xp
TE410P wct4xxp
TE405P wct4xxp
TE411P wct4xxp
TE406P wct4xxp
TE210P wct2xxp
TE205P wct2xxp
TDM2400P wctdm24xxp
- If you have chosen a Sangoma T1/E1 or analog card, you will need to
follow their instructions for installation of their driver software
LATEST Sangoma Wanpipe drivers:
ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/linux/current_wanpipe/wanpipe-beta4-2.3.4.tgz
- now your asterisk installation is built and loaded and it's time to
configure it.

NOTES: If you want to install zttool diagnostics then go to your zaptel folder and do 'make zttool'

Digium/Clone X100P EXAMPLE:
Here is an example of a configuration where an X100P single FXO card is used for
zaptel timing and not used for calling:

NOTE: you can get an X100P through ebay for $10-$30 that will work with Asterisk

/etc/zaptel.conf:
loadzone=us
defaultzone=us
fxsks=1

/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf:
[trunkgroups]
[channels]
context=unused
signalling=fxs_ks
channel => 1

Added this to the rc.local file:
# Load zaptel drivers for x100p
modprobe zaptel
modprobe wcfxo



PHASE 5: CONFIGURING ASTERISK AND YOUR SIP PHONES

In this phase we will configure the telco lines, the SIP phones, the extensions,
meetme(conference calling) rooms, dialplan extensions and the voicemail boxes.
After this phase your Asterisk system should be able to place and receive calls
to and from the SIP phones you have installed over the telco lines you've hooked
up. There are several things that we will not be showing how to do because
Asterisk is extremely flexible and has so many different ways of being
configured, that if we were to try to explain them all in this document it would
be 99% asterisk configuration and be 20,000 lines long, and that would
just be a barrier for those who just want to get it set up. The "Wiki" and the
mailing list are two very good resources for finding answers if you run into
problems configuring your system, here are links to them:

I need to note that it is possible to install Asterisk and use astGUIclient
applications with no Zaptel(Digium) cards installed, but it is not recommended
even if you are not going to use Zap trunks for your inbound-outbound calls
with no real Zap devices, you would need to use a dummy timer(zt_dummy) based
on you USB ports to get meetme conference rooms working properly and you may
have other issues along the way. We would at least recommend getting a X100 or
X101 board from Digium or a clone manufacturer so there is a dedicated hardware
timer in place on your system.



SUBPHASE 5.0: setting up your Asterisk configuration files

1. edit zaptel.conf
- vi /etc/zaptel.conf
There are many examples inside of the zaptel.conf file that is
generated with the "make samples" command that we issued at the end
of the last phase. There are many different parameters for the
different telco line possibilities, because we are installing a T1
that is NON-PRI-isdn B8ZS ExtendedSuperframe(ESF) E&M Wink start and 24
channels, we will use the following settings for zaptel.conf:
span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs
e&m=1-24
loadzone = us
defaultzone=us
FOR A PRI YOU WOULD USE SOMETHING LIKE THIS:
span=2,2,0,esf,b8zs
bchan=25-47
dchan=48

2. edit zapata.conf
- vi /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf
There are also many examples of how to configure zapata.conf online.
we decided to separate our T1 into two line groups to keep some
incoming calls from being busy if we filled up all of our lines.
Here's what we used(you can set echocancel=no if you are using PRIs):
[channels]
group=1
language=en
signalling=em_w
usecallerid=yes
callerid=asreceived
context=default
echocancel=64
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
rxgain=1.0
txgain=1.0
channel => 1-2
group=2
language=en
signalling=em_w
usecallerid=yes
callerid=asreceived
context=default
echocancel=64
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
rxgain=1.0
txgain=1.0
channel => 3-24
FOR A PRI YOU WOULD USE SOMETHING LIKE THIS:
group=3
language=en
signalling=pri_net
usecallerid=yes
callerid=asreceived
callprogress=no
busydetect=no
context=default
echocancel=64
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
rxgain=1.0
txgain=1.0
channel => 25-47

3. edit sip.conf
- vi /etc/asterisk/sip.conf
here is where we will edit the configuration of our SIP compatible
phone devices. As stated at the beginning, we will be setting up a
Grandstream Budgetone 102 phone and a Sipura SPA-2000 adapter with
two analog phones connected(each with it's own extension). Here are
the settings we used to set each of them up:
[general]
port = 5060
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
context = default
; register SIP account on remote machine if using SIP trunks
; register => testSIPtrunk:test@10.10.10.16:5060
;
; setup account for SIP trunking:
; [SIPtrunk]
; disallow=all
; allow=ulaw
; allow=alaw
; type=friend
; username=testSIPtrunk
; secret=test
; host=10.10.10.16
; dtmfmode=inband
; qualify=1000

[gs102]
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
type=friend
username=gs102
secret=test
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=inband
defaultip=10.10.10.16
qualify=1000
mailbox=102
[spa2000]
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
type=friend
username=spa2000
secret=test
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=inband
defaultip=10.10.10.17
qualify=1000
mailbox=2000
[spa2001]
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
type=friend
username=spa2001
secret=test
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=inband
defaultip=10.10.10.17
qualify=1000
mailbox=2001
4. edit meetme.conf
- vi /etc/asterisk/meetme.conf
This is known as the conference calling configuration file. We are
just going to add two conferences(one without a pin number and one
with a pin number required for entry):
[rooms]
conf => 8600
conf => 8601,1234
5. edit iax.conf (only to do IAX trunks, not required)
- vi /etc/asterisk/iax.conf
This is the IAX configuration file, below is a very simple config for
having two Asterisk servers connect natively to each other, if you
will be using this, make sure to add the optional lines included
after the extensions.conf section. Also, there is an account setup
here for a firefly IAX softphone to use.(details on that later)
* IMPORTANT NOTE * if you plan to use IAX2 trunks for VICIDIAL
outbound dialing you must register with the remote IAX2 server
through the iax.conf file, not just in the Dial or TRUNK line
of the extensions.conf dialplan.
[general]
bindport=4569
iaxcompat=yes
bandwidth=high
allow=all
allow=gsm ; Always allow GSM, it's cool :)
jitterbuffer=no
tos=lowdelay
register => ASTtest1:test@10.10.10.16:4569

[ASTtest2]
type=friend
accountcode=IAXtrunk2
context=default
auth=plaintext
host=dynamic
permit=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
secret=test
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
qualify=yes

[firefly01]
type=friend
accountcode=firefly01
context=default
auth=plaintext
host=dynamic
permit=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
secret=test
disallow=all
allow=gsm
qualify=yes

##### EXAMPLE - This is a config example for setting up Binfone service(http://www.binfone.com)

NOTE: The "1112223333" is your iax username. When you signup, Binfone creates
a default IAX username for you, (a 5 digit number, usually, starting with a 1).
This works for most customers. Folks that want inbound then also sign up for
DIDs, each of which has its own IAX username. (Which is the 10 digit DID).
Each username has its own password which is managed through their web interface.

NOTE: If you will be using the G729 codec through binfone there is now a
dedicated G729 gateway that only handles G729 calls. Please use this address to
register to if you plan on using G729 as your codec: iax-g729.binfone.com

iax.conf:
[general]
register => 1112223333:PASSWORD@iax.binfone.com

[1112223333]
auth=md5
type=friend
username=1112223333
secret=PASSWORD
host=iax.binfone.com
context=incoming-IAX-context-in-extensions.conf


extensions.conf:
[global]
TRUNKBINFONE=IAX2/1112223333:PASSWORD@iax.binfone.com ; IAX trunk interface

[default]
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,1,AGI(AGI(agi://127.0.0.1:4577/call_log)
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,2,Dial(${TRUNKIAX}/${EXTEN},55,o)
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,3,Hangup

[incoming]
exten => 1112223333,1,AGI(AGI(agi://127.0.0.1:4577/call_log)
exten => 1112223333,2,Dial(sip/gs102,55,o)
exten => 1112223333,3,Hangup


dnsmgr.conf: # It is very helpful to enable dnsmgr
[general]
enable=yes ; enable creation of managed DNS lookups
refreshinterval=300 ; refresh managed DNS lookups every seconds


##### END EXAMPLE


6. edit voicemail.conf
- vi /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf
This is where we set up the voicemail boxes for the extensions that
we have set up:
[general]
format=wav49|gsm|wav
serveremail=asterisk
attach=yes
skipms=3000
maxsilence=10
silencethreshold=128
maxlogins=3
[zonemessages]
eastern=America/New_York|'vm-received' Q 'digits/at' IMp
central=America/Chicago|'vm-received' Q 'digits/at' IMp
central24=America/Chicago|'vm-received' q 'digits/at' H 'digits/hundred' M 'hours'
[default]
102 => 102,Grandstream Mailbox,root@localhost
2000 => 2000,Sipura Mailbox 1
2001 => 2001,Sipura Mailbox 2
3001 => 3001,Firefly Mailbox 1
7. edit manager.conf
- vi /etc/asterisk/manager.conf
This is where we set up remote logins to the asterisk manager
interface, to allow sending of Action commands from remote
connections to the Asterisk server, this will be important for the
astguiclient applications so let's set that up now:
[general]
enabled = yes
port = 5038
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
[cron]
secret = 1234
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user
write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user
[updatecron]
secret = 1234
read = command
write = command
[listencron]
secret = 1234
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user
write = command
[sendcron]
secret = 1234
read = command
write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user

8. edit logger.conf
- vi /etc/asterisk/logger.conf
This file determines the messages that are logged to the console and
the /var/log/asterisk/messages file. We usually turn on full logging
to the messages file to more easily diagnose any problems that we may
run into, the problem with this is that is does produce very large
files, so be warned:
[logfiles]
console => notice,warning,error
messages => notice,warning,error,debug,verbose
9. edit extensions.conf
- vi /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf
This is known as the dialplan. Since we are installing a
Long-Distance T1 with one 800 number on it, we will need to put that
800 number in the plan, as well as how to dial out through the T1
lines and we will need to add an entry for each of the phones that we
have just set up in the sip.conf file. There are many examples both
in the sample file and online for what to put in your dialplan, here
is the simplified dialplan that we are using:
######------ START extensions.conf example ------######

10. edit dnsmgr.conf: # It is very helpful to enable dnsmgr
[general]
enable=yes ; enable creation of managed DNS lookups
refreshinterval=300 ; refresh managed DNS lookups every seconds


11. Now that you have configured Asterisk, it is time to try to start it for the
first time.
- First make sure that your T1 line(or other telco line) is connected to the
digium card.
- next type the following at the command prompt: "ztcfg -vvvvvv"
- you should see a confirmation that the Zaptel device has loaded
- now you can launch asteris with the following command:
"asterisk -vvvvvvvvvvvvgc"
- you should see a lot of messages scroll by and at the end you should
be given a CLI> prompt if everything loaded OK. To get out of Asterisk you can
type "stop now". Now that you are sure it is running you can either run it in a
separate terminal window or use the start_asterisk_boot.pl that you will
install with astguiclient to start Asterisk.



SUBPHASE 5.1: setting up your SIP phones

You will need to follow the instructions for the phones that you are using with
your system, but here's the way to set up a Grandstream 102 and a Sipura
SPA-2000

1. Here are basic instructions for setting up a Grandstream BT 102:
- On the phone plug it in to power only at first and follow these
instructions:
- wait for the phone to boot up and press the MENU button
- go through the menu screens with the menu key and the up/down arrow
keys to move from setting to setting. We are setting the following
values:
- DHCP OFF
- IP Addr: 010.010.010.016
- Subnet: 255.255.000.000
- router: 010.010.010.001
- dnS: 010.010.010.001
- tftp: we leave this blank for now
- menu 7 we change the codec to G-711u
- now wait 10 seconds and unplug the power and plug it back in
- you can also plug the network cable into the LAN port on the phone
- at this time you can go to your workstation and open a new web browser
- go to http://10.10.10.16/ the password is "admin"
- here is where you will enter in the configuration details for the
phone to register with the Asterisk server
- SIP server: 10.10.10.15
- SIP user ID: gs102
- Authenticate ID: gs102
- Password: test
- Name: gs102
- Voice Mail UserID: 102
- Send DTMF: in-audio
- NTP Server: tick.mit.edu
- then click update, click review changes, and click reboot
- your phone should now be able to register with the Asterisk server. If you
still have your console screen up you should see a registration message
appear telling you that gs102 has registered.

2. Here are the basic instructions for setting up a Sipura SPA-2000 analog
adapter with 2 lines.
- Plug power and two analog phones into the adapter.
- pick up the phone plugged into line1 and press **** to enter admin menu
- press 101# then 0# to disable DHCP
- press 111# then 10*10*10*17# to change the IP address
- press 121# then 255*255*0*0# to change the subnet mask
- press 131# then 10*10*10*1# to change the default gateway
- hang up the phone, unplug the power, plug in the network cable and plug in
the power cable
- now you can go the the admin website: http://10.10.10.17/admin/advanced
- you will need to make these setting changes:
- click on the "Line 1" tab at the top and change the following values:
- Proxy: 10.10.10.15
- Display Name: spa2000
- userID: spa2000
- password: test
- authID: spa2000
- change the dialplan to the following:
(*xx|xxx|xxxx|xxxxx|xxxxxx|xxxxxxx|xxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.)
- then click the "submit all changes" button at the bottom of the page
and your first phone line should work now
- to register the second line, simply click on the "Line 2" tab and go
through the above steps except use spa2001 instead of spa2000 for the use IDs

3. Now both of your phone devices are set up and you can try making phone calls
between the three phones



SUBPHASE 5.2: setting up an IAX2 phone

This is optinal and we won't go into too much detail about this, but currently
there are several IAX hard and softphones on the market and more are coming
every month. Follow the instructions with the IAX phone you have chosen and
follow the steps below:

1. Add an entry into your iax.conf file like below if you have not already
[firefly01]
type=friend
accountcode=firefly01
context=default
auth=plaintext
host=dynamic
permit=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
secret=test
qualify=yes

2. Add an entry into your extensions.conf file like below if it is not in there
; Extension 3001 rings IAX phone
exten => 301,1,Dial(IAX2/firefly01@firefly01/s)
exten => 301,2,Voicemail,u301 ; Send to voicemail...

3. Download Firefly 3rd party application for windows:
- http://www.virbiage.com/firefly/download/firefly-thirdparty.exe
MIRRORS:
- http://mirror.isp.net.au/ftp/pub/firefly/firefly-thirdparty.exe
- http://www.freedomphones.net/files/firefly-thirdparty.exe
- Install the application
- Launch Firefly Softphone
- click the "I wish to connect to a 3rd party network" button
- Enter in network name: Asterisk
- Select IAX2 as the protocol
- enter in your server address: "10.10.10.15" in our case
- enter login and pass: "firefly01" and "test" for in our case
- click OK and you should be logged in and can place calls


SUBPHASE 5.3: setting up a Zap phone

This is optinal and we won't go into too much detail about this either, there
are a few ways to use Zap devices as phones on your Asterisk system: Zaptel
phone cards, Channel Banks going through Zaptel T1 card, outside line call
coming in going through Zaptel line card. There isn't much to do but set your
Zaptel config files up and put entries into your extensions.conf file:

1. Add an entry into your extensions.conf file like below
; Extension 4001 rings Zap phone
exten => 4001,1,Dial,Zap/1|30| ; ring Zap device 1
exten => 4001,2,Voicemail,u4001 ; Send to voicemail...




PHASE 6: INSTALLING ASTGUICLIENT AND VICIDIAL

Now that Asterisk is installed and running we can add the astGUIclient and
VICIDIAL components to the system.



SUBPHASE 6.0: putting the files in place

There are two methods for downloading astGUIclient/VICIDIAL, a release and SVN

1. Go to http://astguiclient.sf.net/ and download the latest astguiclient
package(as of this writing it is 2.0.2)
- for 2.0.X release:
- mkdir /usr/src/astguiclient
- cd /usr/src/astguiclient
- wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/astguiclient/astguiclient_2.0.3.zip
- unzip astguiclient_2.0.3.zip
- perl install.pl (make sure you are in the directory with the install.pl file)
- for SVN 2.0 trunk:
- mkdir /usr/src/astguiclient
- cd /usr/src/astguiclient
- svn checkout svn://205.201.151.21:43690/agc_2-X
- cd agc_2-X/trunk/
- perl install.pl
select to do interactive setup and customize to your server
- there is one more file you need that's not included with the download
package, it's the conf.gsm file(this is the half-hour music file that we use
to put people on hold). I have a free classical music file that is available
free for download at the following two sites:
http://www.freedomphones.net/conf.gsm
http://astguiclient.sf.net/conf.gsm
Once you have downloaded it, you will need to copy it to this folder:
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/
Then you will need to execute this command to copy it as the park file
'cp /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/conf.gsm /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/park.gsm'
Here are the steps spelled out:
- cd /var/lib/asterisk/sounds
- wget http://www.freedomphones.net/conf.gsm
- cp conf.gsm park.gsm

- you are done



SUBPHASE 6.1: creating the MySQL "asterisk" database

we will create the database and add a few initial records so that we can
use the administrative web interface. Since this is a new install it is easier
to use our new mysql script file to add the tables to the database:

1. at the command prompt type go to the mysql client:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
2. type the following into the mysql client prompt:
(make sure you put your IP address in place of "10.10.10.15" in the queries below)
######------ BEGIN Mysql data entry(you can copy and paste this into terminal) #
create database asterisk;

GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE on asterisk.* TO cron@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '1234';
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE on asterisk.* TO cron@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '1234';

# NOTE: if using MySQL 4.1.12 or higher you may need to run this query too:
UPDATE mysql.user set password=OLD_PASSWORD('1234') where user='cron';

use asterisk;

run this command from command line:
- /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_area_code_populate.pl

######------ END Mysql data entry ------######

NOTE: if you are not installing using default user/pass or have MySQL on another
server, you will need to edit either the /etc/astguiclient.conf file or the
dbconnect.php files in the astguiclient, vicidial and agc directories of your
webroot.

3. Enter the vicidial administration page:
http://10.10.10.15/vicidial/admin.php
NOTE: if you click on the Logout button you must leave the user/pass empty and click OK
- Here you will enter the login and password that you inserted into the mysql
database in the vicidial_users table (subphase 6.1 [6666/1234])
- Now that you are logged into the astGUIclient administration system we can
add a new phone entry for each of the sipura lines we created.
- click on the "PHONES" link at the top, then the "ADD PHONE" link below
that and enter in the proper information for each of the new phone lines.
Here's what we entered for spa2000:
- Phone extension: spa2000
- Dialplan Number: 2000
- Voicemail Box: 2000
- Phone IP address: 10.10.10.17
- Computer IP address: 10.10.9.17
- Server IP: 10.10.10.15
- Login: spa2000
- Password: test
- Status: ACTIVE
- Active Account: Y
- Phone Type: Sipura SPA-2000 line 1
- Full Name: Sipura line 1 test
- Company: TEST
- Picture:
- for the next phone simply replace 2000 with 2001 in the above example
- now your phones are all all set up in the astguiclient system and you can
use this website to add new phones to be used with astguiclient and monitor
the number of calls people are making.
- now your database is set up for the astguiclient conferences which
will allow you to have over 6 remote parties that you called from your
GUI client application in one conference.
- click on the "LIST ALL SERVERS" link at the top then click on the
server to modify. Verify that the GMT time zone and all other fields
are what you want them to be. There is a setting(Max VICIDIAL Trunks)
that can be modified to limit the number of VICIDIAL outbound trunks
that will be allowed to use on this server.

4. **OPTIONAL** For IAX clients you will need to use full phone name as the
extension on the admin page entry: "firefly01@firefly01" for our IAX phone example
previously. And do not forget to set the protocol on this page to IAX2

5. **OPTIONAL** For Zap clients you will need to use full Zap Channel name as the
extension on the admin page entry: "1-1" for our Zap phone example
previously. And do not forget to set the protocol on this page to Zap




SUBPHASE 6.2: making additions to your Asterisk conf files

Now that the database is set up and our phones have entries in the system we can
make the additions to the running Asterisk system that will allow astguiclient
to work with it.

1. Add the call_log entries to all incoming/outgoing extensions entries:
- here is how our sample dialplan changes for adding call_log entries(only

### follow these instructions if you plan to have VICIDIAL agents take inbound or closer calls:
1. create a new campaign in VICIDIAL called "CLOSER"
2. in VICIDIAL web admin "add a new in-group" (the above examples would be "CL_GALLERIA")
- group IDs cannot contain spaces ' ' or dashes '-' or plusses '+'
- if you are using a HEX color value make sure to include the hash '#' at the beginning
3. have agents log in to the CLOSER campaign and select the CL_GALLERIA button
4. they will now start receiving inbound calls
5. as calls come in, each call is inserted into the vicidial_list table under the
list specified int the AGI string, In the above example that would be list 999
6. if you want to take closer calls from the campaign "TEST" you will need to create
an in-group called "CL_TEST_" for internal closing(on the same system) or "CL_TEST_L"
for local closing(closer on different system from fronter) and then the fronter will
click on the "internal closer" button to send the call to a closer

* NOTE, you need to set the dial_level of the CLOSER campaign to 1 or higher for inbound/closers to work

NOTE: If you want to use app_conference instead of meetme and you already have
it installed, you will need to do the following:

In your extensions.conf file you would replace these lines:
exten => 8600051,1,Meetme,8600051
exten => 8600052,1,Meetme,8600052
...continue through 8600100...

SUBPHASE 6.3: adding entries to your MySQL "asterisk" database for vicidial
applications

We need to add a few initial values to the vicidial tables in the "asterisk"
database in order to start setting up the vicidial dialer system for use.

1. at the command prompt type this to go to the mysql client:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
2. type the following into the mysql client prompt:
(make sure you put your IP address in place of "10.10.10.15" in the queries below)

SUBPHASE 6.4: setting up asterisk and helper applications for startup

1. Make several entries in the rc.local of your system:
- on the command line type:
- vi /etc/init.d/rc.local
- add the following entries(here's what we used):

### start time server
/usr/sbin/ntpdate -u 18.145.0.30

### load digium tormenta 4xT1 drivers into system
modprobe zaptel
modprobe wct1xxp
/sbin/ztcfg -vvvvvvvvvvvv

### sybsys local login
touch /var/lock/subsys/local

### sleep for 20 seconds before launching Asterisk
sleep 20

### start up asterisk
/usr/share/astguiclient/start_asterisk_boot.pl

- you are done




SUBPHASE 6.5: setting up astguiclient scripts for continuous running

1. Make several entries in the crontab of your system:
- on the command line type:
- cd /usr/share/astguiclient
- crontab -e
- add the following entries(here's what we used):
(Note if you have not edited the AST_CRON_mix_recordings.pl script
to FTP to a different server, then you should use the
AST_CRON_mix_recordings_BASIC.pl file in it's place)

### recording mixing for Asterisk run every 5 minutes
1,6,11,16,21,26,31,36,41,46,51,56 * * * 1,2,3,4,5,6 /usr/share/astguiclient/AST_CRON_mix_recordings_BASIC.pl

### keepalive script for astguiclient processes
* * * * * /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_keepalive_ALL.pl

### kill Hangup script for Asterisk updaters
* * * * * /usr/share/astguiclient/AST_manager_kill_hung_congested.pl

### updater for voicemail
* * * * * /usr/share/astguiclient/AST_vm_update.pl

### updater for conference validator
* * * * * /usr/share/astguiclient/AST_conf_update.pl

### flush queue DB table every hour for entries older than 1 hour

- once your system starts up you can attach to the screen running asterisk by
typing "screen -r " find which screen by typing "screen -r" and
looking for the lowest screen number. Then to detach again from the screen
while you are in it type 'Ctrl+a' then 'd'
- you are done




SUBPHASE 6.6: adding test leads to the VICIDIAL database and configuring a
VICIDIAL campaign and users

First we will add a few test leads to the vicidial_list table so that we can
test our system. There is also an application included with the distribution
that will accept a delimited file of leads placed in the /usr/share/astguiclient/VICIDIAL/LEADS_IN/
directory and load it into the database automatically(VICIDIAL_IN_new_leads_file.pl
[a sample lead file in the proper format is included with this release:
- test_VICIDIAL_lead_file.txt])
If you want to use the lead import script I suggest looking at the code to make
sure it is entering what you want it to. We are not going to go over that
particular script in this document.

Also, there is a web-based lead loader that was made available as of the 1.1.1
release and is accessible from the VICIDIAL admin.php web page(click on the
"LOAD NEW LEADS" link at the top of the admin page). To get to this page you
must have permissions in the vicidial_user table(Load Leads set to 1) .
Instructions on it's use are included on the page through the help question
mark link.
NOTE: in PHP you must have "fileuploads" enabled for this page to work.
NOTE: it is important to have your proper country code in the phone_code field of your leads so that the GMT offset encodding will properly code the time zones for your leads. For the USA/Canada/Caribbean this would be 1. For the UK this is 44 and Mexico is 52 and so on.

Second we need to add the disposition statuses into the system, all of these
queries are below:
(Note: you may want to replace 7275551212 with a real number to test in these
records)

1. at the command prompt type go to the mysql client:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
2. type the following into the mysql client prompt:
(make sure you put your IP address in place of "10.10.10.15" in the queries
below)

######------ END Mysql data entry ------######

Now that the sample leads and disposition codes have been entered, we can go
into the VICIDIAL administration website and set up our campaigns, lists and users.
But first let's make sure that they have the right GMT offset:
run this on the command line:
- /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_adjust_GMTnow_on_leads.pl

3. Enter the astguiclient administration page:
http://10.10.10.15/vicidial/admin.php
(use the username and password created when we entered a record into the
vicidial_users table in SUBPHASE 6.1, In our case this is 6666 and 1234)
NOTE: if you click on the Logout button you must leave the user/pass empty and click OK
- Now that you are logged into the vicidial administration system we can add
new user entries for each of the new users and enter new campaigns and new
lists.
- The first step is to enter your new users, Click on the ADD A NEW USER
and fill in the appropriate information for each now user you want to
add.
- Next, you need to create a new campaign, click on the ADD A NEW
CAMPAIGN link and fill in what you want the campaign to be called as
well as a description
- Next, you need to define a new list, click on the ADD A NEW LIST link
and fill in what you want the list to be called as well as a using the
list ID of the leads that we loaded in the previous step "101" and
select the new campaign from the pull-down menu that we just created.
- Now that you have created your list, make it active by changing active to Y
- now modify your campaign ang change the first status to be called to
NEW and submit. Now your system is ready to dial.
- you are done



SUBPHASE 6.7: VICIDIAL remote agents:

With v1.0 of VICIDIAL we have the ability to use a simple web form to give
remote agents a way to receive calls to whatever number they happen to be at,
and they can view/edit call details and see a call log all through a web page
(vdremote.php) or http://10.10.10.15/vicidial/vdremote.php on this installation.
Remote Agents is only recommended for inbound calls because of the extra time
needed to dial a number out to transfer the call to. To set up remote agents,
just go to the vicidial admin.php page and ADD NEW REMOTE AGENTS(Make sure the
userID start also has a user login so they can get to the vdremote page). You
will see that you can set up a remote agent entry to take multiple lines if you
wish meaning that, for example, if you need to send all of your calls to another
location because of a massive snowstorm(and none of your agents showed up at work)
you just log in that remote agent record with say 10 lines and then all of those
calls will be directed to the same number you set up for the remote agent. Then
again you could just get your agents to log in from home if they have a phone
and computer



SUBPHASE 6.8: astGUIclient web-only client:

With 1.1.1 release of astguiclient we have completely rewritten the astGUIclient
client app in AJAX(PHP/Javascript/XMLHTTPRequest) to enable a full, real-time
GUI interface using only a web browser. The browser requirements for this are:
- Firefox 0.9 or greater (Firefox 1.0.7 is the recommended browser)
- Mozilla 1.7 or greater
- Netscape 8 or greater
- Opera 8.5 or greater
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater (we have noticed some serious
memory leaks in IE5 and IE6 when using this program, they do not occur in
Firefox which is why we recommend it overall.)

This new version also has more flexibility and functionality than the perl/Tk
version as well as being prettier. We have successfully tested this on many
platforms and in remote locations. It functioned wonderfully off-site with one
of our IAX hardphones and offers a lot of promise for road warriors who need
a lot of options on their phone usage like conferencing and a detailed call log.

To log into this app you will need a login setup in the vicidial_users table
with a user_level of 1 or greater as well as an entry for the phone you are
using in the phones table. You will first get a login prompt for the vicidial
login then you will have the phone login where you enter the Login and Password
for that phone entry. From there the app should display and you will see the
MAIN screen with your phone information, voicemail display and your inbound/
outbound phone call log.

The example web page you would go to on this installation would be:
http://10.10.10.15/agc/astguiclient.php

The inbound log and callerID popup is dependant on having a call_inbound.agi
entry in your dialplan before you phone is dialed(see subphase 6.2 step 2)

Another thing to note is that you can have the agc folder(with the .php files
in it) copied to multiple web servers, you just need to make sure that the
MySQL database connection works (check the settings in the dbconnect.php file
that is in the agc directory). We have had astguiclient.php running on 3
separate web servers for the same DB server and Asterisk server. This is an
easy way to allow for auto failover and/or redundancy. Also, this client will
work over SSL connections(https) for encrypted communications with the server.

New in astGUIclient release 1.1.7 is multi-language support. multi-language
versions of web-clients and admin pages are available in the LANG_www directory
and can be unzipped into your webroot directory.



SUBPHASE 6.9: VICIDIAL web-only client:

NOTE: There is a VICIDIAL Agent manual available from http://www.eflo.net

With 1.1.6 release of astguiclient we have finished the rewrite of the VICIDIAL
client app in AJAX(PHP/Javascript/XMLHTTPRequest) to enable a full, real-time
GUI interface using only a web browser like we have done with astGUIclient.
The browser requirements for this are:
- Firefox 0.9 or greater (Firefox 1.0.7 is the recommended browser)
- Mozilla 1.7 or greater
- Netscape 8 or greater
- Opera 8.5 or greater
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater (we have noticed some serious
memory leaks in IE5 and IE6 when using this program, they do not occur in
Firefox which is why we recommend it overall.)

This version is fully functional and has been tested in our production
call center with no problems. On RedHat 9.0 Linux workstations we have noticed
a decrease in system load running the web-client as compared to the Perl/Tk
client. Also, the memory usage stayed at about 22MB for a full shift of
activity, so no memory leaks with Firefox.

To log into this app you will need a login setup in the vicidial_users table
with a user_level of 1 or greater as well as an entry for the phone you are
using in the phones table. You will first get a login prompt for the vicidial
login then you will have the phone login where you enter the Login and Password
for that phone entry. From there the app should display and you will see the
VICIDIAL screen with your phone information.

The example web page you would go to on this installation would be:
http://10.10.10.15/agc/vicidial.php

One more feature that the VICIDIAL web-client offers is the ability to set up
an EXTERNAL phone extension in the astguiclient admin section so that you can
have agents log in to vicidial.php wherever they have access to a phone with
an external phone number and a web browser. To do this follow these steps:
- "ADD PHONE" in the admin.php web page and enter whatever name you want
- For the dialplan number field put in the full digits that you would dial from
the Asterisk server to get to that agent's external phone(with 91 if used)
- For the Protocol select EXTERNAL
- make sure the agent knows the login and password set for this phone entry.
Then the agent will go to the vicidial.php page and enter in their phone
login/pass, their vicidial user/pass/campaign and their phone should ring in a
few seconds, and they are logged in and ready to take calls.

Another thing to note is that you can have the agc folder(with the .php files
in it) copied to multiple web servers, you just need to make sure that the
MySQL database connection works (check the settings in the dbconnect.php file
that is in the agc directory). We have had astguiclient.php running on 3
separate web servers for the same DB server and Asterisk server. This is an
easy way to allow for auto failover and/or redundancy. Also, this client will
work over SSL connections(https) for encrypted communications with the server.

New in astGUIclient release 1.1.7 is multi-language support. multi-language
versions of web-clients and admin pages are available in the LANG_www directory
and can be unzipped into your webroot directory.

Admin Note: If you want to enable your agents to login with only their user/pass
you can hardcode the phone_login and phone_pass into the query string(URL) and
use a bookmark on their desktop, taking one more step out of their login process
example: http://10.10.10.15/agc/vicidial.php?pl=gs102&pp=test

It is recommended if you are in a call center environment that you would disable
the "Saved Form Information" option in Firefox settings. This is a checkbox in
the Privacy settings under the Options menu.



PHASE 7.0: You are done with installation

If you have problems and it is not working right(and are NOT celebrating right
now), feel free to take a look at the FAQ for solutions to common installation
errors, read the SCRATCH_INSTALL document, visit the VICIDIAL forum or send an
email to the mailing list:

This is a great write-up. I would recommend updating it for ViciDial 2.4 and Asterisk 1.4. I am going to attempt all of this with Debian 6.0, ViciDIal 2.4 and Asterisk 1.4. DB, Web and Asterisk servers all separated.
