TIP – Using Asterisk GUI 2/IAX to connect two WARPs

Published by David Clarke under General, How-To

Some months ago, I had the need to connect two WARPs together that were both equipped with Asterisk GUI 2.  It was recommended to me to use IAX, but I was not told how to do it.  After some difficulty, I finally figured out something that worked for me.  Originally I thought this was just me being inexperienced, but as I have began to realize, it really isn’t that straight forward.  At any rate, The question arose again very recently from anothr customer and  we helped them on the PIKA Suppport Forum.  I thought it would make sense to share it with you folks as well.

As an aside . . .

We were thinking that it would be an interesting and funny topic (to some) to show you one of the most high-tech bathrooms I have ever witnessed.  As most travelers are aware, each area of the world can have their own traditions when it comes to “water closets”.  Some good and some not so good depending on what you are used to.  This particular one definitely caught my attention.  Can anyone guess what country I took this video in?

VoIP QOS adventures from the far East

Published by David Clarke under General

As I have mentioned in previous blogs, I have a strong personal interest in all things related to the quality of VoIP conversations.  Specifically those involving PIKA’s WARP appliance.  During my trip to India, I was fortunate enough to be introduced to a company by the name of eRoads Technology who share my passion for VoIP and the importance of QOS.  I’m excited that they have graciously volunteered some of their own time and bandwidth to experiment with technologies I feel have the potential to make a QOS impact using WARP.  During the next few weeks, I plan on working with the folks at eRoads to put these QOS tools to work in some real world scenarios.  Stay tuned for some VoIP QOS adventures from the far far East!
