Asterisk based dialers: VICIdial, GoAutodial, Vicibox, Vicidialnow Outgoing Configuration Parameters

For web-based Asterisk PBX (like FreePBX) the IP authentication setup is slightly different:

In “Outgoing Settings”, name the section “out-1”
Then, in “Peer Detail”, enter the following:

type=peer 
port=5060 
nat=auto 
insecure=invite 
ignoresdpversion=yes 
host= 176.9.138.209 
dtmfmode=rfc2833 
context=from-trunk 
canreinvite=no 
allow=ulaw 
allow=alaw 
allow=g729

In “Incoming Settings”, name the section “in-1” in “User Context”. Then, in “User Detail, enter the following:

disallow=all 
type=peer 
port=5060 
nat=auto 
insecure=invite 
host=176.9.138.209 
dtmfmode=rfc2833 
context=from-trunk 
canreinvite=no 
allow=ulaw 
allow=alaw 
allow=g729

After this has been completed, you will have to create a separate trunk. For the second trunk, name the outgoing “out-2” and again enter the following information:

type=peer 
port=5060 
nat=auto 
insecure=invite 
ignoresdpversion=yes 
host=176.9.138.209 
dtmfmode=rfc2833 
context=from-trunk 
canreinvite=no 
allow=ulaw 
allow=alaw 
allow=g729

Then, for the second trunk, name the incoming “in-2” and again enter the following information:

disallow=all 
type=peer 
port=5060 
nat=auto 
insecure=invite 
host=176.9.138.209 
dtmfmode=rfc2833 
context=from-trunk 
canreinvite=no 
allow=ulaw 
allow=alaw 
allow=g729

No registration string is required for IP Authentication.

176.9.138.209 for US
176.9.138.209 for UK
