Configuration Guide for using AudioCodes MP-114 with Asterisk 11

Posted on by

I think that Audiocodes is one of the better SIP PSTN gateways available on the market: the problem with this device (besides its high cost) has always been its most unfriendly user interface.

In this post I’ll show how to get working an AudioCodes MP-114 with Asterisk 11: this device is an FXO unit with 4 ports.

Att.: The AudioCodes MP-114 utilizes an initialization text file with a .ini extension: this .ini file contains all the parameters that have been set by the WebUI, and something more. This file can be submitted to the device using WebGui (Maintenance -> Software Update -> Configuration File)

Asterisk sip trunk (sip.conf).

allow=ulaw
directmedia=no
nat=no
t38pt_udptl=yes,redundancy,maxdatagram=400
jbenable=no
faxdetect=no

Att.: I prefer to configure 4 different trunks, each associated with a differente FXO.
Att.: The lines t38pt_udptl are to enable the T.38 to transimt & receive fax using this protocol.
