Configuring GOIP4 with Asterisk

On the test, I set up a Chinese GSM GOIP4 gateway with an Asterisk server as a trunk.

Asterisk commands

I will describe the possible Asterisk commands that can be entered after connecting to the console:

Monitoring Asterisk in Zabbix

We will monitor Asterisk through Zabbix agent, for this we install it on the same machine as Asterisk.

Frequent messages “Remote UNIX connection” in Asterisk

I noticed once in the Asterisk console that the following messages are often displayed:

— Remote UNIX connection

When making calls, there was no echo from the side of the analog telephone, but whoever spoke into the IP phone heard himself.
