Setting up a VOIP system – prt 2 – Load OS & Update

you have your software downloaded……..

Now boot the server/pc from the PBX cdrom. The unit will ask a couple questions like time zone, and language. simply follow along and answer. use the tab key to jump from box to box. very simple (old school) use of ansi graphics.

It will also ask you to set the password. write it down.

login once done into console:

root with your password

yum -y upgrade is always recommended to get unit to latest version of code.

when you login as root it will give you the IP your network hands out. This means you need a dhcp server somewhere on the network. all routers come with them today, so chances r u already have it. if ip is 10.0.0.2 login to http://10.0.0.2

register your unit next.

then click on packages, and select update on all installed.

HOWTO – Establish A Hosting Solution by Ted Green

had a friend and she wanted to know how to setup her own hosting solution at work, for her email, websites and projects. She runs off a cable modem, and check and her provider does have her with 4 static IP’s.

basics.

Check domain name .

use any whois website. (link)

buy domain your name first if your serious about selling, networking or doing buiness online. This way you move, change providers, on and on, and you can move that domain to any host and your back in business.

Now setup DNS

visit zonedit.com , register. (link)

use DNS servers listed to use for DNS

when setting up your zones use the IP you have set asside as your new server.

zone edit has great instructions and even examples.

* note after your account is setup you need to login thought the secure connection only. (link)

Building your Hosting Server……

I prefer rackmount but have great deals (wholesale prices) on most gear.

I bought a cheap Dell server (link) for $150

• dual processor (1 gig each)
• 1gig of ram
• raid5 embedded
• 8 of 12 drives filled.

had to fiddle with the unit for a second. if your new to computers, a ‘whitebox’ unit with the basics specs work, and ide is much cheaper than SCSI/LVM/RAIDS and the learning curve. whitebox link

Download BlueQuartz Centos ISO (free) (iso link)

Burn to CD . I used ImgBurn. (free) (link)

Take burned CD , place in server/computer.

boot pc/server

If set to boot from cd, cd will auto start. if not go into bios and set.

follow instructions page by page setup. asks only a few question and then the cd jumps into action, wipes the unit, repartitions the drive, dumps the data and dependencies, and gets the boot setup. not much work at all except watching in amazement. ( great work I must say guys)

NOTE: make sure the hard drive your using is clean or you do not want anything off it. the system cd will wipe and install the OS.

after installed login as root or system will start asking your IP info

follow instruction and set to that IP you used in your DNS

example 10.0.0.2 / subnet 255.255.255.0 /gateway 10.0.0.1

use the correct gateway and subnet or your box wont show up on your network!

Goto webbrowser on another PC connected to internet

open web browser

in address type http://10.0.0.2.

goto bottom of page. Click start.

follow instructions, set time date, and password.

default will be admin / admin unless you change password here.

once its up ( dont start adding stuff yet) go back to console of server.

login : admin with pw admin

su

type admin

you should now have root access. You will not be able to login as root as default due to it being a huge security issue. admin is your main username . then you super user (su command) and gain root access.

now type ‘yum -y upgrade’

it should update some 200-800 packages and say ready when done. I reboot here.

Login via web to http://10.0.0.2

first thing: CHANGE PASSWORD

——-

To change your network settings from the command line, run
the command /root/network_settings.sh

To remove this notice, edit /root/.bashrc

have fun ! Hope this helps!

Setting up a VOIP system – prt 1 – prep

Setting up a VOIP system – part 1 – preparation

prep:

I recommend learning b4 you leap into something. It makes it more fun and you actually dont shut down and walk away if it gives you problems, and learning anyhting new has issues.

get a place where you have broadband and pots ( plain ole telephone lines) line.

you need a 1 GHZ PC if your trying to get any performance, with as much ram as it can handle. I like a gig to half a gig mimimum. PC needs a working 10/100 NIC ( network interface card) either onboard or installed. Once all the parts are in place, test the box.

Second you will need a Linksys PAP. Its a ethernet to VOIP device. you can purchase them at any major store and online. make sure they are unlocked version. Many vendors have custom settings that are not removable without destroying the units warranty. I like the dual POTS unit myself.

testing:

I think this is the most overlooked area in development. test. test and test again. The more you handle the projects parts, the better and faster you become. i know somethings cant be tested, but things like PC, & PAP devices.

Free VOIP not as in demand as expected?

Our recent survey numbers show only 49 percent out of 100 people wanting VOIP would even choose a free network to network plan. Since there is no filtering on such services yet from large carriers (only thru one I have found so far & they don’t provide VOIP at all , but numbers and rerouting ) , spam and unwanted calls is said to be the blame. Our survey contiues to show only 20 percent wanted inbound calls and only 31 percent wanted outbound calling.

Survey based on buying patterns of 100 customers.

peer to peer mesh networking ?

after spending a decade trying to work around peer to peers, could a mesh network reroute that traffic thru certain nodes if the network itself was suited to transport that traffic? as more and more people integrated peer to peer, our goal i to expand and to learn from their dreams , not on what we think is capable. Who ever thought melting sand could create micro-chips and we could send pictures and data thru the air waves 40 years ago ?

Mesh divides?

has the world been two divided already not to agree to standardize? there lies the problem, who sets the standards?

Wireless Blog Expands to WordPress

after working to add developers to the blogs, we found wordpress.com to be the fastest way to interconnect since it was most widely accepted. We have been working on establishing our editorial team and will announce soon our chief editor, back after a few years offline, happy to help spread the gospel of mesh!
