Toronto, ON | Trixbox question
How do I connect two trixbox systems together so they are acting as one over the internet without having to buy a trunk?

| You can do that but it sounds like overkill. Set up 1 server and use sip phones or adapters at as many locations as you want. You can call each other, transfer calls, access remote lines from any phone, answer incoming calls from remotes and much more. |

Red Valley, AZ | you can setup an IAX trunk between them. In addition if you want common dialplan then use dundi. |

Well I could do a single server installation however both sites will want IP phones I am sure, and the trix machines won't be connecting into any analog, digital, or trunk lines.

1 edit | Right so the IP phones at the remote location would connect to the server in Boston.
If you want to do an IAX trunk then here are the settings.
IAX Trunking
On boxA (192.168.1.101):
- Select "Trunks"
- Select "Add IAX2 Trunk"
- Trunk Name: boxB-peer
- PEER Details:
allow=ulaw
disallow=all
host=192.168.1.102
secret=123123
type=peer
username=boxA-user
- User Context: boxB-user
- USER Details:
allow=ulaw
context=from-internal
disallow=all
host= 192.168.1.102
secret=123123
type=user
- Register String: Leave Blank
Submit the Trunk and Apply changes.
Now click on Outbound routing and add 7|. to the Dial Patterns box and
then select the trunk name in the squence box below. Hit Submit and
then the Red bar at the top of the page.
On boxB (192.168.1.102):
- Select "Trunks"
- Select "Add IAX2 Trunk"
- Trunk Name: boxA-peer
- PEER Details:
allow=ulaw
disallow=all
host= 192.168.1.101
secret=123123
type=peer
username=boxB-user
- User Context: boxA-user
- USER Details:
allow=ulaw
context=from-internal
disallow=all
host= 192.168.1.101
secret=123123
type=user
- Register String: Leave Blank
Submit the Trunk and Apply changes.
Now click on Outbound routing and add 7|. to the Dial Patterns box and
then select the trunk name in the squence box below. Hit Submit and
then the Red bar at the top of the page.
At this point, users on boxA can dial 7 to access any dialplan items
on boxB and visa-versa.
Please change the IP addresses in the steps below to the public IP
addresses that your 2 asterisk servers our on. |

When you do VPN site-to-site both sides can not be on the same IP address. Hence one of the many reason why people do not setup their corporate offices on the same IP addresses.

1 edit | Yes, I am aware of VPN's and set them up a few times a week. Did you need help with that as well? I use FreeSwan primarily with my own Linux firewalls. I am aware that they are not on the same subnet.
If you are referring to my instructions then you need to change the IP's to match those that you are using. They are for information purposes only as stated.

I may not be correct, but I think 2 servers would not be overkill if you wanted Boston to call out to Toronto local, and Toronto to call out to Boston local without incurring long distance charges.
If you are just calling between offices than the previous solutions are probably more appropriate. |

Nice response. With this kind of attitude, I wonder how often you actually get a helpful response? (as opposed to the other poster thinking "what an a**hole, screw off...") |
