Many seem to be confused about the proper Call Management for Asterisk. One needs to remember that Asterisk is a very flexible and powerful telephone system platform. This means there are more than one way to configure nearly every different Asterisk Service Module.

There are two ways to configure your asterisk nufone service using iax voip.

Asterisk NuFone Configuration Examples

Option 1: Single Device Usage

iax.conf:

[NuFone]
type-peer
host=switch-1.nufone.net
secret=a_secret
username=device_username

extensions.conf:

exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial,IAX2/NuFone/${EXTEN}

By supplying the username within iax.conf you are hardcoding the username into the NuFone peer entry.

Option 2: Multiple Device Usage

iax.conf:

[NuFone]
type-peer
host=switch-1.nufone.net
secret=a_secret

extensions.conf:

exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial,IAX2/device_name@NuFone/${EXTEN}

By providing the username within the extensions.conf you can re-use the NuFone peer entry across many NuFone Devices.

Yes, NuFone allows you to have multiple VoIP Devices.

If you did not realize NuFone allows you to have more than one VoIP Device, perhaps now is a good time to Login to the Members Portal or Sign up for NuFone Service Today.
