VoIP Protocols -

  Asterisk card VoIP Protocols The mechanism for carrying a VoIP connection generally involves a series of signaling transactions between the endpoints (and gateways in between), culminating in two persistent media streams (one for each direction) that carry the actual conversation. There are several protocols in existence to handle this. In this section, we will discuss some of those that are important to VoIP in general and to Asterisk specifically. Asterisk FXS FXO Card : TDM410P FXS card  8.2.1. IAX (The "Inter-Asterisk eXchange" Protocol) The test of your Asterisk-ness comes when you have to pronounce the name of this protocol. Newbies say "eye-ay-ex"; those in the know say "eeks." IAX is an open protocol, meaning that anyone can download and develop for it, but it is not yet a standard of any kind. [*] Officially, the current version is IAX2, but all support for IAX1 has been dropped, so whether you say "IAX" or "IAX2,...

About VoIP -12 Security -- https://www.chinaroby.com

  About VoIP Security The many consumer VoIP solutions do not support encryption yet, although having a secure phone is much easier to implement with VoIP than traditional phone lines. As a result, it is relatively easy to eavesdrop on VoIP calls and even change their content. There are several open source solutions that facilitate sniffing of VoIP conversations. A modicum of security is afforded due to patented audio codecs that are not easily available for open source applications, however such security through obscurity has not proven effective in the long run in other fields. Some vendors also use compression to make eavesdropping more difficult. However, real security requires encryption and cryptographic authentication which are not widely available at a co...

The difference between FXO and FXS

    FXO and FXS are the ports used by analog phone lines and analog phones and faxes. These two interfaces are always paired (FXO is always connected to FXS and vice versa). In telecommunications, FXS and FXO are used to indicate whether VoIP equipment is designed to support analog phones (stations, FXS) and analog lines (office, FXO). FXS is the port used by analog lines, example: telephone jack on the wall / FXS ports of an analog telephone exchange used to connect analog devices. To connect analog devices to VoIP PBX, use FXS media gateway (media gateway with FXS port). FXO is the port used by analog devices, example: FXO port of an analog phone, modem, fax (these devices are often called FXO devices ), FXO port of an analog telephone exchange used to connect lines.
