U Need Travelin' Man

[wardmundy]

If you travel for a living and use PBX in a Flash with the Incredible PBX back home, then you need our new (free) Travelin' Man app.

Travelin' Man is a web-based, one-click Asterisk application that automatically reconfigures your Asterisk PBX to enable remote SIP phone access from your cellphone, iPad, remote PC, NetBook, or desktop telephone.

Password-protected web sites now can be activated as an additional security measure. Thanks, Joe!

This ROCKS!!!

I have one quick question Ward...

When I run the script, I see this:

On your hardware-based firewall, map TCP 83 and UDP 5060
to the private IP address of your Incredible PBX. Then...
Travelin' Man is accessible using public or private IPaddress
or using your Fully-Qualified Domain Name (FQDN):
Public: http://FQDN:83/12345/
Public: http://123.456.789.000:83/12345/
Private: http://192.168.1.2:83/12345/

But in the NV article, it mentions opening ports 10000-20000 as well. I didn't see that mentioned above. I still need to forward those ports as well, right?

UDP ports 10000-20000 are for RTP. One of those ports actually carries the voice for each call. They're already open in IPtables. Some firewalls can live without the mapping. Others can't. To be safe, just map them to your Asterisk server from your hardware-based firewall, too. Then you're all set.

Question:
Should I be concerned if I am getting:

permit=192.168.4.2/255.255.255.255 enabled for #2003.

instead of

permit=192.168.4.2/255.255.255.0 enabled for #2003.

?
My subnet is 255.255.255.0, not .255.
Is that just a typo?
Thanks

When you specify the last octet, you limit the range of IP's available. In the case you point out, (255) only one IP address is available, which you defined as being .2

I'm totally stoked on Traveling Man, but I have a couple issues I need help with now. I had to upgrade my PIAF system first as per directions. After doing so I lost zaptel so no biggie and I got that running by doing it manually. The system seems to be working but I lot all my webpage displays on the server. I get the main login page, punch in logon/pass and then get a blank screen in both IE8 and FF.

Also travelin man works fine when I'm at home, but can't complete login when remote.

I'm using sipdroid on nexus one. Any help greatly appreciated.

If you can't login from remote via travelinman, that sounds like you have a firewall that is not forwarding port 83 or you don't have port 83 open on your piaf box

When you try loading the travelin man webpage from remote, does it just hang on the loading screen and then timeout?

[lopaka]

When I click the travelin man shortcut from remotely, I get the webpage and verification that my phone is approved. What I never get though is a successful sip registration through sipdroid.

I have sipdroid configured like this

username - phone extension
password - xxxxxxx
server = primary IP address of my home network
domain - empty
username/caller id - empty
port 5060
protocol - UDP

Do I need to change any of the specific sipdroid settings?

Thanks for the input!

Uncle Ward,
I solved the missing gui by running the update-fixes a second time. Not sure why that worked but am happy I don't have to start over, hehe

Still need help on remote connection though.

I'm running a WHR-HP-54G with tomato firmware and have port 83, 5060 & 10000-20000 forwarded to the PBX
