Hi, Im hoping someone can point me in the direction of some documentation regarding using you epygi quadro IPPBX as a gateway for an asterisk box.

Senario: We currently have 1 DVX SIP trunk from WXC, which connects directly to our Quadro2x, we would like to use an Asterisk box (elastix) instead of the Quadro but we are currently unable to connect our asterisk box directly to wxc.

Many Thanks

Have you tried contacting the company you purchased the equipment off I am sure they can help?

I presume the reason why you cannot connect your Asterisk box to WxC is that you do not want to. There is no technical reason why you cannot do that, once you have asked WxC to make the appropriate configuration changes. My Asterisk box has been connected to WxC's VFX service for some time now and works perfectly.

When I connected two Asterisk boxes together, I created a Trunk on my local Asterisk box that terminated as an extension on the remote Asterisk box. In the same way, I created a Trunk on the remote Asterisk box that terminated as an extension on my local Asterisk box.

The rest was accomplished with Dialling, Trunk and Incoming Routes rules. Calls from the local Asterisk box that had to be routed through the remote box were directed down the "local to remote" trunk - so (to the remote box) those calls look like they are coming from a local extension on that box. The trunk to the remote box prepends the required trunk access codes to the called number and the remote box handles the rest of the call as though it were coming from a local extension.

Incoming calls from the remote box are directed to the trunk that connects to the local box via Incoming Routes ie it passes the incoming call to an extension on the local Asterisk box using the Remote to Local trunk and an Incoming Route on the local Asterisk box.

That's how I did it in Asterisk, you may be able to create a similar arrangment with the Quadro box taking the place of the remote Asterisk box (in my case).

Cheers Mike

The WxC VFX service is for residential customers, the DVX service is for business customers and doesn't directly support Asterisk. I am aware that there are some business customers using Asterisk, have you approached WxC in regards to what options are available?
