Asterisk

Download Asterisk from source¶

wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-20-current.tar.gz

Compile Asterisk¶

After downlaod the release change to download dir extract and compile

• Install some additional software

sudo apt install build-essential wget libssl-dev libncurses5-dev libnewt-dev libxml2-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r) libsqlite3-dev uuid-dev

we can run the prerequisites script from asterisk code

./contrib/scripts/install_prereq install

Using install_prereq

The install_prereq script is included with every release of Asterisk in the contrib/scripts subdirectory. The script has the following options:

• test - print only the libraries to be installed.

• install - install package dependencies only. Depending on your distribution of Linux, version of Asterisk, and capabilities you wish to use, this may be sufficient.

• install-unpacakged - install dependencies that don’t have packages but only have tarballs. You may need these dependencies for certain capabilities in Asterisk.

Hardening the setup¶

Testing Sip Phone¶

CC:EF:48:59:F5:E9

AVAYA¶

Ok, i have wasted a lot of time for that and seems no one knows how to actually do it so :

1. Only 1603SW-I can be used

2. Logoff, reset phone to factory (mute73738#)

3. Download configuration file from ftp://ftp.avaya.com/incoming/Up1cku9/tsoweb/46xxsettings/08302015/46xxsettings.txt

4. Edit it :

SET ENABLE_AVAYA_ENVIRONMENT 0
SET SIPSIGNAL 0
SET CONFIG_SERVER_SECURE_MODE 0
SET SIP_CONTROLLER_LIST {your server ip}:5060;transport=udp
SET SIPDOMAIN {your server FQDN}
SET DNSSRVR {your dns server IP}

5. Download SIP firmware https://support.avaya.com/downloads/download-details.action?contentId=C2010882049141200_6&productId=P0468

6. Copy config file to firmware files

7. Update firmware by HTTP ( i’ve used IIS, just paste all firmware contents to www root and enable anon read access )

This also should work with any SIP-based PBX.
