Inaccurate help


Recommended Posts

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 )
