3.1.13. KIAX softphone
This KIAX softphone can work only with Linux OS and as you can conclude from the name of the program only IAX users can be registered with it. To download the phone go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/kiax and download the distribution you want. There you can find the installation versions for Debian, RedHat, SuSe and Tilix Linux distributions as well as an installation from source. To use the phone we suppose that you have already had an Asterisk PBX configured and working.
Lets install the KIAX for Debian. The file is named kiax_0.8.4-1debian_i386.deb so you will install it with typing dpkg -i kiax_0.8.4-1debian_i386.deb.
Note: If you want to install KIAX from source you have to go to the directory where the source is stored and type ./configure then make and finally make install.
REGISTERING AN USER
if you are using KDE and you want to use this softphone note the following: before running the phone you have to stop the ARTS sound server. If ARTS is not stopped the phone cannot initialize its devices.
The phone looks like this:
To register an user in KIAX you have to register it first on Asterisk. For example I will register an IAX user in iax.conf named "iax_linux" with password "iax_linux", dynamic IP and join it to the "linux_test" context.
I will also register an extension in extensions.conf on Asterisk for this user in order to be dialed. So when 1111 is dialed user iax_linux will be contacted.
For more information about how to make the configurations in the Asterisk's configuration files please read our tutorial about the Configuring IP Phones for use with Asterisk
Now you are ready to register an user on your phone. Just go to File/Settings on the phone’s menu. Type some account name. In IAX Server field type the IP address of your Asterisk server. Type the username registered on Asterisk in iax.conf and the user’s secret in the password field. Preferred codec is better to be GSM or U-Law. Then save the changes.
Leave the other settings as set by default. And now the phone is ready to use.
Lets install the KIAX for Debian. The file is named kiax_0.8.4-1debian_i386.deb so you will install it with typing dpkg -i kiax_0.8.4-1debian_i386.deb.
Note: If you want to install KIAX from source you have to go to the directory where the source is stored and type ./configure then make and finally make install.
