How to setup google voice using PIAF 2

First you need to select the PBX in a Flash 2 as the OS (32-bit or 64-bit), then you follow these instructions:

 

1. Securing the web panel access.

After it is up, ssh as root to the server, and type

 

vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables

 

and scroll down and look for this line

 

-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

 

replace that line with this

 

-A INPUT -p tcp -s your-public-ip -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

 

NOTE: your-public-ip is simply the public IP address given by your local ISP. From your PC web browser, go to www.whatismyip.com to find out

To change, press i

To save, press Esc key then wq

If you want to add more IPs, just copy and paste another line below it.

 

2. Securing the server by changing the ssh port.

Look for this line on /etc/sysconfig/iptables

 

-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

 

and replace it with the port you want to have, say 2289

 

-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 2289 -j ACCEPT

 

then type this

 

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

 

and look for this line

 

Port 22

 

and change it to 

 

Port 2289

 

3. Now save and restart sshd and iptables by typing

 

service iptables restart

service sshd restart

 

4. Now configure your google voice by going to http://your-ip-given-by-us

 

5. Once there, click on Admin button on bottom left menu then click "FreePBX Administration"

Default login is admin

password: admin (CHANGE THIS ASAP)

 

6. Look for Connectivity menu on top and click Google Voice and just enter your GV username/password/phone number

and select the 3 options:

 

Add Trunk?

Add Outbound Routes?

Send Unanswered to GoogleVoice Voicemail

 

7. Click Submit

 

8. Now we setup extensions for your sip clients by going to Applications menu > Extensions

Select Generic SIP > click Submit

Enter "User Extension" say 100

Copy the secret password (NOTE: Do NOT use easy password, leave it as is)

Leave others as is, if you know what you're doing, you can customize the other options

Click Submit

 

9. Now we setup the inbound and outbound routes for calls.

Click Connectivity menu > Inbound routes

Put Description name, say My Name

On bottom, above Submit button, select Extensions > 100 (one you created above)

Click Submit

 

10. That should be it, now if you setup your extension on your sip phone, when you dial your GV no., it will ring your sip phone.
