After finishing my previous post I decided to also write a small how-to about configuring Asterisk and flashing the cisco 7912G with the SIP firmware.
Ingredients for today are:
| A cisco 7912G IP phone | [Get it here] or [here] |
| SIP firmware for the 7912G phone | [Get it here] or [here] |
| Asterisk package for OpenWrt | ipkg install asterisk |
| Asterisk voicemail package for OpenWRT | ipkg install asterisk-voicemail |
| Asterisk sounds package for OpenWRT | ipkg install asterisk-sounds |
| A small amount of time |
I had purchased a while ago a Asus WL500g Deluxe and decided to flash the thing with OpenWRT.
At first, I only wanted to let the thing bridge with a wireless access point (WDS) but when I noticed I could enhance the functionality of the router with asterisk I flashed the device and installed asterisk. Piece of cake!
So I had some experience with Cisco IP phones ( Cisco 7912G ) and flashing it with SIP software, so I looked for one on the internet and found and bought one on a internet auction for 50 euros. To flash it, I had to install a TFTP server ( well, to dynamically configure it I had to install it ) so I hoped to install it on OpenWRT to.
