Well, it's just a SIP client and virtual sound driver. As if your soundcard had a RJ-45 port through which it would send SIP controlled audio data.

Well, I haven't tried Axon yet, and probably I won't have time to do this in near future. But try to do the same what I have done - assume the Uplink can be a SIP peer. Configure Uplink as a SIP provider in Axon. And then dial it, in the same way as you dial out normal numbers through SIP providers.

Hi guys! I've spent some time today, managing to do multi outgoing calls from SIP to Skype. The Uplink config option 'When SIP calls - Use dialled number' had to exist for some reason.. All I've done was to assume that Uplink SIP account can be SIP peer. I've configured Asterisk in that way: sip.conf: [uplink] type=peer username=uplink secret=uplink host=dynamic Then in extensions.conf I'm dialing out using uplink account: exten => _skype_.,1,Dial(SIP/{$EXTEN:6}@uplink) ;_skype_. matches anything starting with "skype_" ; {$EXTEN:6} - called number with stripped first 6 characters With this configuration and option 'Use dialled number' checked in Uplink, I simply dial skype_SkypeUser from another SIP account to connect with SkypeUser skype account. I have had some hanging-up problems, but at this moment I have too few computers to test this fully. And it's working!! Please give it a try and post your comments here!

I'm writing in regard to Uplink help page 'Using Uplink'. In the section 'Make a SIP call out through Skype', point 5: "Under the General tab, ensure that the user name of the external line is entered into the field labelled When SIP calls Skype." Shouldn't there be 'When Skype calls SIP'? Altough it's another nonsense ( Uplink registered as a SIP client will call himself ). IMHO there should be two SIP accounts specified, one for Uplink, and another for my phone ) Generally making a SIP call out through Skype is confusing everyone. I can't make out how to configure my pbx to do so. (using Asterisk) 'Configure your PBX to route outgoing calls prefixed with a number of your choice to the external Uplink line.' doesn't make it clear. For example: I define Sip client Uplink will connect to, and name it Uplink. If I want to dial my friend Skype number 'Friend', I type 55Friend (assuming 55 is the mentioned number prefix). The next thing I should do, is to strip out the prefix and dial SIP/Uplink (not very diifficult ) somehow passing Skype username argument - 'Friend' ( I don't have any idea )

Hmm, about the dialing out problem.. Refering to Uplink help: Using Uplink: - Use a prefix digit to indicate to your PBX that it should make the call on the external Skype line. So there should be a way to dial Skype numbers from another sip account in a pbx. I guess the option "General" -> "when SIP calls" -> "Use dialled number" is used for handling this. Does anyone know for what else it could be used? I don't have any idea. I tried to make it work, but the only effect I get it's that Skype returns error similar to "Couldn't find user test. It's unreachable." Where 'test' is the name of sip client used to connect Uplink to my PBX. (That's right -> it's the number I dial in my PBX, but it doesn't make any sense :/ )
