Step 6. Setup Your SIP Client, SIP Phone, or ATA and cleaning up.
- server: This will be your DNS-323’s IP or DynDNS domain
- id: 101, if you didn’t change the extention from above
- password: your secret word
- proxy: same as server
Make sure you forward UDP port 5060 and 10000 to 20000 to your DNS-323 on your router if you want to use the Asterisk server from outside of your LAN.
Once you’ve tested everything working properly, you can shut down the Lighttpd server:
dlink-xxxx:# /etc/init.d/lighttpd stopHere are a few clients on various platforms:
- Windows/Mac/Linux: X-lite
- iPhone: Siphon (for jailbroken only, but the best IMO), Fring, Nimbuzz
- Android: Sipdroid (very nice integration)
- Nokia E series (E51 -E71) and internet tablets have native support for SIP
- Windows Mobile: Fring
Conclusion
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post in the comments or email me. I will update this guide accordingly to make it better.
For those who are thinking about using a dedicated computer to do this, it’s much easier. Simply download Orgasmatron V from Nerd Vittles. Most importantly, thanks to those who made this possible!

Wow, great tutorial! Makes it really clear, the steps you’ve taken. It’s actually deterred me from doing it on my own dns-323, which I’m using primarily now, as a torrent client/server ( I was using it a a backup/fileserver for our home computer network, but realized pretty quickly it just didn’t have the horsepower to do what I wanted it to do). That said, it’s as reliable as a hammer, in that it will run for months without a hiccup (installed funplug on it almost immediately after unboxing it a couple years ago).
After reading about your experiences, and the instructions on the nerdvittles site, I think I’m going to buy one of those low power acer revo boxes, and install pbx-in-a-flash on it. I think they have enough power to do what you’ve done on the dns-323, and media-centre as well
Thanks again for the writeup!

Thanks. But this is not something original, I just put those pieces together specifically for DNS-323.
I use my DNS-323 mostly as a media server, occasionally for Bittorrent. But the built-in BT client is very limited and crashes often. So I siwtched to rTorrent. I can turn it on and off as I wish.
The Acer Revo is a great machine. It’s cheap, even cheaper if you go the Ubuntu route. I was considering getting one as a HTPC. But I do want Blu-Ray capability and Atom is just not gonna cut it.
D-Link has a 4-Bay NAS DNS-343, that maybe my next NAS since the 2TB on my DNS-323 is running out soon…
