[freeside-users] FreeBSD Ports, Asterisk Provisioning

[Administrator]

If you want to get freeside to provision asterisk please see http://aleph-com.net/,  Darren will install his software on your server or you can do it yourself.  the software is ASTPP.  it uses mysql as a database.  You can use the HTML/POST export options with the veriables to a script the run on the asterisk server and it will provison the services and do Call Detail reports and LCR.  Works with AMP aslo.  I am personally working on this but I have not had time.  I will have it working in about a week.  Tell Darren that Robert Terpe of BT Tech sent you.

Subject: [freeside-users] FreeBSD Ports, Asterisk Provisioning



Hello everyone.  I just got my first Freeside installation (1.5.7)
completed on FreeBSD 6, using Apache2.  I've added the last few Perl
modules that were missing from the FreeBSD ports tree and added the
appropriate pr's so that everyone can use them.  I'm hoping to get a
full port of Freeside into the ports tree "soon".  I think I have the
logic around the initial installation down, presuming that the user is
installing Postgres on localhost.  The only thing I'm trying to wrap my
brain around is how to get the user to set up httpd.conf to run as user
freeside and getting appropriate entries for securing freeside in there
as well, aside from leaving a nice note for them that says "by the way,
you need to do (this) before freeside will work correctly".  If you have
suggestions on this I'd be happy to hear them.

Switching gears from this though, we're a small company just getting off
the ground, and we've been offering Asterisk voice service using IAX2
channels for a while.  We have cdr's that are going to a csv file in
/var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv, which is Asterisk's default.  I
know I can read Asterisk's documentation on getting this into a Postgres
database, so I'm not concerned about that, but I was wondering if anyone
would care to expound upon how Freeside handles VOIP provisioning and
billing?  I see an entry in there that looks for radius information, but
I guess I'm not following the logic on how that ties to provisioning and
  billing (ie, how does this add an entry for iax.conf for sip.conf, and
create appropriate dialplan information?), and I'm not sure if Freeside
is set up to provide a self-service interface for that voice service -
say, allow them to make dialplan changes, perhaps change the behavior of
their voicemail, etc.

Is this a customization beyond what is already available in Freeside?  I
don't see it in the wiki or docs, and I've browsed the mailing list
archive going back about a year.

Thanks!
