Does anyone know how to configure Gizmo5 for use on an Asterisk PBX? Specifically Trixbox if possible.

For the life of me I just can't get this to work...

So it looks as if you're trying to use Gizmo's Dual Login feature, which is a little different from just hooking up your Gizmo account to asterisk. From what I can see, Dual Login allows you to login to both Gizmo and another SIP provider/PBX at the same time.

Where are you running into a problem?

First question: are you using trixbox CE or trixbox Pro?

Second: can you register the Gizmo softphone to your PBX or not?

When I just tried, it registered instantly to my preconfigured softphone account. I entered:

  • Server, The server's hostname

  • Account name, the context for the peer you're trying to register to. You're going to need one extension for every user. In sip.conf or one of the sip_*.conf files, this would be the [peer] name for the extension.

  • Password, shown in sip.conf as "secret=****"

Can we get the asterisk logs when you try to register using Gizmo? Make sure you've enabled verbose logging in /etc/asterisk/logging.conf first.

One thing I noticed is that the registration attempt actually comes from Gizmo's SIP server, not my client's IP address. Could you be blocking based on IP?

Third: can you register other softphones successfully?

Fourth: if it's not registration, are you having problems with call routing, and if so, which way?

Your comment about the registrations coming from Gizmo's SIP server helped me troubleshoot the issue. Trixbox wasn't correctly updating the public IP. Thanks! – Ivan May 28 '09 at 22:18
