| [Equipment] Asterisk on Linksys PAP2v2 and DLink VTA-VR
Some of you may have seen and/or noticed my mention in this forum on porting asterisk to a Linksys PAP2v2 and/or DLink VTA-VR devices as shown in my posts here (first hinted post of PAP2v2 ability), here (first mention of asterisk on PAP2v2), and here (first mention of asterisk on VTA-VR). Since then, I received some responses with mixed feedbacks directly from my own posts and/or indirectly from responses to someone else posts in other VoIP forums. Ironically, some people are so skeptic and even go further to blatantly make some unfounded statement that porting asterisk to TI AR7 platform will take more than one year or may even never happen.
Well, I am here to prove that there is no need to be such a skeptic about this issue once and for all because I have recently managed to successfully port and compile asterisk from openWRT WhiteRussian RC5 firmware source to a TI AR7 platform. This was made possible by a very unselfished individual who voluntarily lent his hands to help me out. For this, I would like to take this opportunity to show my gratidude to thank Mr. czyc who has been very kind to voluntarily offer his help to guide me into the right directions on how to port and to compile the openWRT WhiteRussian RC5 firmware source code to the TI AR7 platform.
The compiled or binary code of asterisk can now run on a Linksys PAP2v2/RTP300/WRTP54G, DLink VTA-VR, and other Linux embedded devices based on a TI AR7 platform, i.e. VoIP devices supported by CYT Unlocker program. Even though asterisk may now run on an AR7 hardware; however, the performance really depends on how much Flash/RAM and clock speed of the CPU used on the device. OTOH, please beware that there are still lots of other hurdles facing us ahead before asterisk can be considered to be a useful program for a PAP2v2 and/or VTA-VR devices. As of this writing, some people are working on incorporating asterisk into some modded firmware to run on a PAP2v2. For a VTA-VR and other AR7 based VoIP devices, I believe this will follow.
To make a long story short, here is the screen dump from my PAP2v2 when I tested on a dry-run (without the *.conf files) for asterisk I just compiled:

Fairfax, VA | Thanks for mazilo and czyc's great work. I think success about asterisk port on pap2v2 or vta-vr can give us a good future to play voip pbx. It's VERY COOL!!!
I will study the relevant knowledge and happy with playing.

It may even force Linksys to lower its MSRP of SPA9K to probably US$50/each. Right now, an SPA9K is sold on the market for about $400/each with only 8(?) license. AFAIK, running asterisk on a PAP2v2 doesn't need a license and the number of extensions/trunk it can support really depends on its CPU and RAM. Remember, the CPU on a PAP2v2 runs at about 160MHz.

Fairfax, VA | Happy with 160MHz. So VTA-VR is same, right? I saw the name on the TI chip is a little different between PAP2V2 and VTA-VR. PAP2V2 is *47* and VTA-VR is *45*. Do you remember this? |

mazilo, can u tell me how to put the asterisk into flash? I want to port some other applications to the box and don't want to tftp every reset. /var/tmp is in the ram, when reset, it'll disapear and all the /var directory will untar from var.tar. Right? How can we put files into squashfs root file system? Or how to make a acceptable update image? Thanks |

Damn you can put Asterisk on a PAP2v2 and I can't even get my PAP2v2's to connect to my Asterisk Server... my PAP2-NA works fine with Asterisk but when I connect the PAP2v2 I get a dialtone but when I dial a number I just get a fast busy signal.. When I login to the PAP2v2 web gui and check status it shows line1 102 Proceeding (102 is my asterisk extention) |

Well the dialplan on the PAP2v2 is
(*xx|*xxxxxxxxx|*xxxxxxxxxxxxx|*xxx|xxx|xxxx|[3469]11|0|00|[2-9]xxxxxx|1xxx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|xxxxxxxxxxxx.|011xxxxxxxxxx.|011xxxxxxxxxx)
the same as on my WRTP54G-NA and our PAP2-NA which works fine. |

RE: Asterisk on Linksys PAP2 v2 and D-Link VTA:
I have been working on getting the partitions resized.. that has proven to be lots of fun :)
The thing is tight on space, so something would have to give..
I know that Linksys dropped 'dropbear' (ssh) to save space but that seems important to have.. what can I prune out??
----------------------
About that dialplan stuff on these...
Might this be helpful:
The 'factory' dialplan for the PAP2 v2.0 is:
*xxT|*1xx|[349]11|1xxx[2-9]xxxxxx|[2-9]xxxxxxT|[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|011x.T
to add other dialing, you should be able to add the mapping in there.
For the following number: 0018005551212
This dial map should match: 001[2-9]XXXXXXXXXT |

| how about trimming var.tar ? and I think I saw some useless crap about routing and pptp stuff too. also if possible, why not get rid of whole ggsip sip client and use a better sip client (which support all pap2 v1 settings or better) ?
frankly speaking I won't mind just running configurable asterisk without the sip client. it will replace my huge intel box running asterisk.. it can useful to create instant pbx'es when travelling .. since it will run asterisk, it can use IAX to traverse NAT.. could be very useful in cases where internet provider does not allow VoIP |

as per this page the ggsip is this radvision sip toolkit..

so it might not be dlink hardware properitry at all.. !! above link only works in IE |
