Connect your Asterisk PBX to our PSTN gateways using IAX

Turn your asterisk platform into a powerful reseller solution with efficient inbound and outbound traffic routing through aql via the asterisk IAX protocol.

Advantages of IAX

IAX is a single trunk between your asterisk box and the aql telecoms platforms, meaning that there are no complicated NAT issues which could cause call dropping or loss of media (ie no sound!).

The advantages for resellers extend further - once you have an IAX connection for inbound/outbound with aql, we simply route your calls but do not become part of the SIP path. i.e. you can sell your service to users via SIP and they will not be in direct contact with an aql server - an ideal scenario for resellers.

Setup

Setup of your IAX account involves 2 stages:

  1. We create your IAX account on our test platforms and perform any debugging or necessary testing.

  2. We can then migrate you to "live" status. Because IAX cannot be ordered automatically over the website, please set up a standard SIP account and contact us via our online support system once logged in to have it converted to IAX.

Configuration Guide

To get connected, you would need to create the following in your iax.conf file:

[__username__]
type=user
context=iax-inbound
auth=md5
host=sip.aql.com
username=__username__
secret=__inbound_password__
trunk=yes

[aql-outbound]
type=peer
context=iax
auth=md5
host=sip.aql.com
username=__username__
secret=__outbound_password__
trunk=yes

Also, you'd need to place the following in your extensions.conf file (where nnnnnn is the VoIP ID for the particular inbound number you want to use):

[outbound]
exten => _X!,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=nnnnnn)
exten => _X!,2,Dial(IAX2/aql-outbound/${EXTEN})

[iax-inbound]
exten => nnnnnn,1,Dial(SIP/100)

CDR Data

Resellers may download call data records in CSV format from the following URL (substituting month and year accordingly):

https://www.aql.com/reseller/cdr.php?year=2009&month=07

Your reseller inbound username and password is used for authentication.
