Sample Asterisk config for Hong Kong BroadBand

The following information has been depreciated” On 2006-Mar-09, Subscribers to the old non-“2b” system were re-assigned to the “2b” system.

If you were a subscriber to the old non-“2b” system, then please follow the configuration information found here with the following changes:

• The username and fromuser setting is your phone number with hk suffixed. For example, if your phone number was 35971111, then your username and fromuser will be 35971111hk.
• Your register line should reflect the new username:

register => 35971111:[email protected]/35971111
becomes
register => 35971111hk:[email protected]/35971111

What follows is no longer valid. This is here for historical reasons.

Assumptions:

• Account created before October 2005 (if your account is with HKBN’s “2b” system, then you want to look here)
• Acct num used on Website: 699999997
• Softphone password: abcdef9876
• Phone number: 35129898
