16. Once we have configured the EBS Modular, well create an incoming route for the
calls from PSTN to our EBS. Were going to use an IVR for incoming calls but first
lets create a SIP extension that will be one of the IVR options. For this go to PBX
=> PBX Configuration => Extension. Click on Submit having selected the
Generic SIP Device option. (Figure 4-15)

Figure 4-15. SIP Extension

17. Fill in the following information on the Add SIP Extension page (Figure 4-16):
User Extension: (302 in this example)
Display Name: (IPPhone in this example)
Secret: (h7Dka3Rf9si0t in this example)

18. Click on Submit button located at the end of the page and apply changes by
clicking on the Apply Changes link that will appear on the top of the page. Figure 417
Figure 4-17.

19. Now, go to PBX => PBX Configuration => IVR. Click on Add IVR link
(Figure 4.18). Set the following:
Name: Name of IVR (WelcomeIVR in this example)
Announcement: Voice prompt which will be played for incoming calls.
Options:
o * - Phone book.
o 0 - 302 Extension
o t - Repeat the options of IVR (Add this option by modifying the IVR
after creation)
Figure 4-18. IVR

20. Click on Save and Apply changes by clicking on the pink ribbon that appears at
the top of the page. Now go to PBX => PBX Configuration => Inbound Routes.
Click on Add Incoming Route link (Figure 4.19). Set the following:
Description: Name of inbound route (Incoming_Calls in this example)
Set destination: Where the call will be routed. (WelcomeIVR IVR in this
example)
Figure 4-19. Incoming Route

21. Click on Submit and apply changes. Now when we receive calls the
WelcomeIVR IVR will be played to the caller giving him choices to interact with
Elastix Server.
22. We will also configure an Outbound Route for outgoing calls depending on a prefix.
For this we have to configure a Custom Trunk in Elastix Server. Go to PBX =>
PBX Configuration => Trunks. Click on Add Custom Trunk link (Figure 4-20).
Figure 4-20. Trunks

23. On the Add Custom Trunk page set the following (Figure 4-21):
Trunk Name: A name for the trunk (Khomp_Trunk in this example)
Custom Dial String: khomp/b0c9/$OUTNUM$ in this example

10

PaloSanto Solutions
EBS Modular and Elastix Server Setup Guide

b0: It refers the ID of the device. In this case is 0 (See Figure 4-13)
c8: It refers the channel number that will be used for outbound calls. In this case is
8 (See Figure 4-14)
Note: You can use FXO (8-11) or GSM (12-13) channels.

Figure 4-21. Custom Trunk

24. Click on Submit Changes and apply changes. Go to PBX => PBX Configuration
=> Outbound Routes. Click on Add Route link (Figure 4-22). Set the following:
Route Settings
Route Name (9_Outside_Test in this example)
Dial patterns
Prefix (9 in this example) | Match pattern: (. in this example)
Trunk Sequence for Matched Routes
0: The trunk that we just created (Khomp_Trunk in this example)

25. Once you set the parameters, Submit and Apply changes. Now well create an
extension using EBS Modulars FXS ports. Go to PBX => PBX Configuration =>
Extensions and select Other (Custom) Device. Figure 4-23
Figure 4-23. Add Extensions

26. On the Add CUSTOM Extension page set the following parameters (Figure 4-24):
Add Extension
User Extension: 401 in this example
Display Name: KhompFXSPhone in this example
Device Options
Dial: khomp/b0c0/$OUTNUM$

b0: It refers the ID of the device. In this case is 0 (See Figure 4-13)
c0: It refers the channel number that will be used to dial to the analog phone. In this
case is 0, the first FXS port (See Figure 4-14)

Figure 4-24. Add CUSTOM Extension

27. Once all the parameters are set click on Submit and Apply changes. Now we have
to adjust some settings to enable callerid. Open a ssh session or login directly from
your Elastix Server and edit the /etc/asterisk/khomp.conf file.
a) Set the parameter fxs-send-fsk = yes

b) Add the following line in the [fxs-branches] section:

401 = 29274

Where 401 is the extension number and 29274 is the serial number of the Khomp
device. The number 401 will sequentially increase by one depending on how many
FXS ports the device has. In the Elastix Server you have to set the same extension
numbers.
28. Configure the IP (SIP) Phone with the correct parameters (See figure 4.15). Now
you can make calls to the PSTN using the EBS Modular by calling a telephone
number with 9 as prefix through FXO or GSM depending on what you
configured. Also call from the analog phone to the SIP phone and vice versa and
check the call is established with correct caller id. This step completes the
procedure for making and receiving calls through EBS Modular.

SMS Configuration
We can also set SMS functions for Khomp KGSM-40.
1. For
sending
SMS
from
the
SIMCARD,
edit
the
/etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf (Figure 4-11). Inside the [from-internalcustom] context, add the line:
include => sms-out
sms-out is a name that can be defined by the user.
Add the context:
[sms-out]
exten => 700,1,KSendSMS(b0c12|089532586|Testing SMS.)
exten => 700,n,Hangup()
700: Extension we have to dial in order to send the message
b0c12: The zeros in b0c0 represent the number of the board/card and the number of
the channel/module where the SIM card you want to use is located respectively.
089532586: The mobile phone number that will receive SMS
Testing SMS: The message content you want to send.
2. When finish, reload asterisk by typing asterisk rx reload in the Elastix CLI.
3. For receiving SMS to the SIMCARD from any mobile phone, edit the
/etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf (Figure 4-13). Inside the [from-internalcustom] context, add the line:
include => khomp-sms-00-12
The first two zeros (00) define the board/card you want to create the context for.
The second number (12) define which GSM channel (on the card) you want to
create the context for.
Since in this configuration only one card is used it is allocated the 00 position, and
the SIMCARD is located in the (12) position.
Add the context:
[khomp-sms-00-12]
exten => s,1,System(${KSmsFrom} ${KSmsBody})
KSmsFrom and KSmsBody are variables available for processing of SMS, they
contain the Sender and Content of the text message respectively.

4. When finish, restart asterisk service by typing service asterisk restart in the Elastix
CLI.
5. To test the SMS sending, pick up your IPPhone and dial 700. After finish the call
you will receive a message in the cell phone in the next seconds (Figure 4-14).

Figure 4-14

6. To test the SMS receiving, enter to Asterisk CLI with the command asterisk -r in
Elastix CLI, and send a message from any cell phone to the SIMCARD number. In
the next seconds you will see something like figure 4-15.
