Overview:
Asterisk allows people to communicate using the internet. It is one of the cheapest ways to talk. The PC clients connect to each other through an Asterisk server which uses a Linux/Unix OS.

Asterisk calls can be passed through different channel protocols. The most popular forms of calls are H323, SIP, IAX or Zap. Depending on the type of channel you use, the user must have the appropriate software to handle the call type.

Example:
If are a registered on an Asterisk PBX(or other PBX) as a SIP user, you are required to use a SIP phone client such as Idefisk 2.0 or SIPPS. Or, if you are registered as an IAX user you must use an IAX phone client such as iaxcomm.


SIP/IAX Client Configuration:
Now, we will describe how you can register SIP and IAX users. This includes the adjustment of all Asterisk and client phone settings.

First, make sure Asterisk is installed. Most of the files to be modified are stored in /etc/asterisk.

- First of all, If you're planning to run a public Asterisk server on the Internet, configure as static IP address
- Dynamic IP addresses can cause connection problems, lose connection, once connection is established hasle to notify all devices that are or may be connected to asterisk
- So it’s better to configure as Static IP address.
