What is this the best way to setup two servers when you need to share the Digium contacts? I did this and now have a "main" & "remote" server setup so that I can register a SIP trunk through Callcentric at my remote site (to improve call quality there) but in doing that users from the "main" site do not see the Digium contacts at the "remote" and users at the "remote" site can't see contacts at the "main" site. Is there a configuration example or tutorial for sharing contacts or directories between servers when they are connected this way?

Aaah, my bad, should have read the forum first ->

Thanks for the heads up, I have to catch up on all those great things you guys were doing for the last year or so 🙂

Like Grey One above, I also would like to know why in the Pi article regarding the VPN setup you talk about PPTP VPN and not NeoRouter VPN which I understand had been added to PIAF installs?

I was away from PIAF scene for the last year so I am not sure if in the meantime the NeoRouter VPN fell into disfavor like Hamachi did previously?

Can anyone comment?

[WM: We still love NeoRouter. They were just late to the Raspberry Pi party. The PIAF Forum has lots of information about the Raspberry Pi implementation, and we intend to cover it in a future article.]

Good to see this new connection environment, it is totally new for me. I want to try it as soon as possible & if it is suitable for me then I’ll continue it for my business.

Forgive me if this is a newbie question but is there a reason not to interconnect both with Hamachi or Neorouter and register remote phones via the server they are on a LAN with (due to no mobile client on Hamachi for instance) ?

For another approach to safely interconnecting Asterisk servers without the hassle of managing dynamic IP addresses, see this thread for tips on implementing UserAgent Knocks with iptables.

What is the case for doing this rather than having sip phones in the remote office register directly with the main office PBX? Especially if we’re speaking of a home office of a single telecommuter?

I can think of a few things. Better use of bandwidth, with calls within each location not using the internet connection. Better fault tolerance, with a main office outage leaving remote offices still up. Smaller burden on main office PBX. Remote office PBX can choose nearest sip trunk provider for outside calls rather than an extra hop through main office pbx.
