333Remote Server Management??

Can this be used to remotely manage an Asterisk server? For example, Asterisk installed on the headless Linux server in the basement, managed via your software on my Powerbook??

That would be excellent.

Hi David,

thanks for the feedback. Would you mind reporting this properly by email with a log?

the info on how to obtain a log and where to send it is on the Asterisk Assistants Verbose Logging Wiki page:

thank you

333Problem with 7 as perfix

by , Monday 23 of August, 2004 [12:06:55 UTC]
Hi,

I tried tis with just 7 for a prefix, and when I try to dial an FWD number, it seems to drop the leading digit of the FWD number. So I was expecting to dial 7123456 and get to FWD number 123456, but insted looking at the log it dialled 23456.

Also, I don't seem to be able to make inbound calls from FWD to my loocal Asterisk machine. If I do a grep register on the conf file I notice there is no register form my FWD account. When I set this up manually I used a register command ???


Cheers

David
