[VoIP] Is anyone out there?

[Mad Mark]

I just bought one and it's mainly administered via a web interface like a router. However, FTP and SSH (PuTTY) also work. The web interface doesn't allow you to set up extensions and other Asterisk configs, but allows you to edit all the config files (there are many) including rc.conf

The hda1 device (hard-drive) is a 64Mb compact-flash card mounted in read-only mode to extend the life of the card. It can be remounted to read/write via the web interface to edit rc.conf. Typically, there is 10Mb left on the CF card after AstLinux is installed.

One great thing is, no moving parts - AT ALL. Completely silent.

The device itself looks like a modem - it's not a square box, but a device with a molded case you can either lay down or attach the stand to have it vertical.

It has Mic in, Stereo out, printer port, serial port, 4 USB ports, a 100BaseT network port, power connector. The plugpack, if you get one, has an American plug on it, but any standard computer power cable plugs into it. It has an on/off button on the front.

The IP, I don't think can be set via the web interface (John, correct me if I am wrong?) it must be set via SSH. Or you can use DHCP if you have the service running on your network to auto-assign an IP. Careful using DHCP though, as it does not *guarantee* the box will get the same IP every time, which can break any port-forwarding you set up if it changes. The device does contain a built-in firewall, if I remember correctly.

As for internal system specs, John will have to answer that one.

How do you access it? Is it just an SSH or Putty style connection??  Could you put 269 on it and what doi you need for the static IP?  Would it need to be the current static IP of the current machine ?? or??
