Andy, Anything you can do with a normal incoming call you can do with the incoming skype call. Just treat it the same. For my setup I had it ring like my normal did, and if nobody picked up, it went to the standard office voicemail box. So maybe you should focus on setting it up just like your incoming DID calls, I even had it entering the same queue. My fxo is a SPA 3000 and it rings in exactly the same, to: [incoming] exten =>1000,1,Dial(... I think that's why it clicked for me, I only recently started messing with fxo devices and so I'm just treating the uplink as another virtual fxo device. Have fun , Jeff

Hi Andy, You haven't given me a lot of specifics to go on, but your 'Xerror: not found' may be just that, it can't find the extension you are directing incoming calls to. Make sure in your extensions.conf that the extension (5506 in my example) has access to the extension (1000 in my example). Do you have your uplink extension (5506 in example) setup also in the extensions.conf as another extension? (I didn't include that in my example). 1) You need to setup your Uplink to send incoming calls to a valid incoming extension or extensions in your pbx. In my example, I send it to a incoming extension called '1000', which then rings a group of extensions, phones. But you could just send to to any working extension. 2) 5506 was just a number I made up for an extension, you could use a 3 digit extension that fits with your system. 3) Do you have a [context] in your 'extensions.conf' called '[extensions]'? And if you do, do you have a line: include => incoming Hope this helps. I was only playing with this setup and no longer have access to that windows pc I installed Uplink on, but it worked great for incoming calls from skype. Lag wasn't bad at all even though my asterisk pbx is about 50 miles away from the uplink pc. The only problem I had with outgoing calls was that I had to call my skype number to 'wake' it up before I could call out via skype from my pbx. Jeff

There are probably a million ways to accomplish the same end result, but it always helps to see an example of a working solution. Here is good place for examples of the tricks and approaches you have taken that actually work with Asterisk + Uplink in making and receiving Skype calls to phones in Asterisk pbx systems. I'll start with my own setup, for example: Asterisk version 1.2.6 on a power-pc based Mac-Mini running OS X (Tiger 10.4.5) Uplink downloaded 4/21/2006 on a Dell running Windows XP Pro /SP2 In asterisk, I created a sip.conf entry for Uplink called [5506] of the type: friend In uplink, I matched the credentials from [5506] in sip.conf, and send skype incoming calls to my main [inbound] setup that I call '1000' (which is setup to ring at a number of desks in the office). To use skype-out from any extention in the office the user just enters the entire country code-area-code-number. To dial skype accounts directly I setup a numeric extension for each of our clients, friends or family. That's it, works great. Below are some snips from sip.conf and extensions.conf: ;Skype 2.0, Windows XP Pro/SP2 ;Uplink downloaded 4/21/2006 ;Asterisk 1.2.6 (Running on a mac-mini with OS X Tiger 10.4.5 ) ;On Uplink sip setup: ;username: 5506, passwd: xxxxxxx ;Send to username: 1000 main [incoming] call group on asterisk ;sip.conf [5506] username=5506 host=dynamic nat=yes secret=xxxxxxx allow=all type=friend insecure=very context=extensions canreinvite=yes caninvite=yes callerid="Incoming Skype"<206-555-1212> ;extensions.conf [globals] DIALIN1=SIP/2001&SIP/1955&SIP/2000&SIP/1973 [incoming] exten => 1000,1,Dial(${DIALIN1},20,r) ; DIALIN1 is a list of extensions to ring exten => 1000,2,Voicemail(u101) ; main voicemain for office exten => 1000,3,Hangup [dialout] exten => _001XXXXXXXXXX,1,Macro(UpLink,${EXTEN}) ;for skype-out numbers from pbx [macro-UpLink] exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/${ARG1}@5506,60,) exten => s,2,Congestion [extensions] include=>dialout ;friends on skype that I can call from regular old phone on the pbx exten => 1977,1,Macro(UpLink,myskypebuddy) exten => 1976,1,Macro(UpLink,mymomskyer) exten => 5506,1,NoOp(Skype Extension) exten => 5506,2,Dial(SIP/5506,15,tr) exten => 5506,3,Hangup

Not sure how you have setup your skype2sip Uplink or asterisk but below is an example of what works for me: Skype 2.0, Windows XP Pro/SP2 Uplink downloaded 4/21/2006 Asterisk 1.2.6 (Running on a mac-mini with OS X Tiger 10.4.5 ) On Uplink sip setup: username: 5506, passwd: xxxxxxx Send to username: GROUP (main [incoming] call group on asterisk) ;Asterisk configuration for Uplink skype2sip ;sip.conf [5506] username=5506 host=dynamic nat=yes secret=xxxxxxx allow=all type=friend insecure=very context=extensions canreinvite=yes caninvite=yes callerid="Incoming Skype"<206-555-1212> ;extensions.conf [incoming] exten => GROUP,1,NoOp(Call from: ${CALLERIDNAME} => ${CALLERIDNUM})) exten => GROUP,2,Dial(${DIALIN1},20,r) ; DIALIN1 is a list of extensions to ring exten => GROUP,3,Voicemail(u101) ; main voicemain for office exten => GROUP,4,Hangup [dialout] exten => _001XXXXXXXXXX,1,Macro(UpLink,${EXTEN}) ;for skype-out numbers from pbx [macro-UpLink] exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/${ARG1}@5506,60,) exten => s,2,Congestion [extensions] ;friends on skype that I can call from regular old phone on the pbx exten => 1977,1,Macro(UpLink,myskypebuddy) exten => 1976,1,Macro(UpLink,mymomskyer)

I'm not having a problem, but I don't know your circumstances, here is my setup: Hope this is useful.
