hello to everybody
i have created in my laptop with virtualbox 2 vms.
1) vm with goautodial
2) vm with freepbx
the freepbx server is registered to a sip provider
I have search the forum but unfortunately did not find anything for that.
What do i need to do to get it dialing an outside line through the sip provider on the freepbx server so I can call, for example, a land line number or mobile number?
Can someone please help me?
I have tried to connect the 2 servers with iax or sip trunking but unfortunately with no sucess

1) goautodial 2.1 32-bit asterisk 1.4.39
2) freepbx 2.7 , asterisk 1.4.39
i want these vms to work so i can later on do it in real environment.

Thank you

Getting FreePBX to dial through a VOIP Carrier is not really within the realm of a Vicidial Support Board question for Goautodial's installer ... honestly. LOL

FreePBX Was easy to use, in the old days. And Vicidial was very hard. Times have changed: FreePBX is commercial with almost all their distros (now that Trixbox has bitten the dust, and it was commercial at the end anyway!). So why are you using FreePBX at all? Why not just Vicidial?

That being said: You Should be using just Vicidial (or just FreePBX), but if you want to use both and are asking questions about FreePBX on the Vicidial forums ... I'm betting you're having a bad week, so I'll give you a break. LOL

In FreePBX you need an Extension, a trunk, and an outbound route. You register the trunk to your carrier, you register a phone (such as 3CX or X-Lite) to the Extension. Then you configure an outbound route to dial through the trunk. When you dial a number on your extension, the outbound route passes the call through to the trunk and out to the carrier. All of this has plentiful help on various forums and blogs. Testing (to see what happened) is at the Asterisk Command Line (available via "asterisk -R" at the linux command line).

See how far you can get. But seriously consider dumping FreePBX and using just Vicidial unless you have NO need of a "dialer".
