Asterisk running on VMware

asteriskvoip

Does anybody have experience or running Asterisk on VMware(?) – specifically the latest ESX…?

I've got a proof of concept working but am reticent to roll it out without a bit more reassurance! I keep hearing about problems with timing…?

Anybody done it?

It works but there are applications that depend on an accurate clock that need some special attention, for example conference bridging. A good test is to install asterisk + zaptel and compose a test dialplan for a conference bridge. Connect to the bridge with two phones and listen to the audio.

Your problem lies with sip.conf. Make sure you're defining the username for your end device:

[2000]
username=2000
secret=2000
type=friend
context=phones
host=dynamic

Bringing people into an Asterisk conference call

I know this is a bit of a necro, but i can't see your relevent logs.

Its not as fancy as *1 and **, but it should work in the same idea. -- Make an extension that is a conference extension, anyone who calls ext 6000, gets placed in a conference call.

Person A calls Person B. Person A and B talk, and then Person A decides Person C should be in on the call too. Person A blind-transfers Person B to extension 6000. Person A Calls Person C, Briefs him, and blind-transfers Person C to extension 6000. Person A then Calls Extension 6000.

Rinse and repeat as many times as necessary -- or AIM your buddies to dial extension 6000.
