Is it the objective of AsteriskNow GUI to enable the user to make a working box without having to manually edit .conf files?
Or should the GUI be used in conjunction with manually editing files? For example, when attempting to create a Freeworlddialup IAX configuration, the gui does cause the user to show registered when using the command, "iax2 show registry".
However, I don't believe incoming or outgoing calls will work without editing the .conf files. The FWD site gives the following support info, so is the this necessesary or should all configuration be attempted through the GUI?
Thanks for clearing up my confusion!

You need to edit iax.conf and extensions.conf.
iax.conf
In the "[general]" section, please include register => FWDNUMBER:PASSWORD@iax2.fwdnet.net and make sure you set allow=ulaw
where
FWDNUMBER is replaced by your FWD number and PASSWORD is replaced by your FWD password
Also, add a section to allow iax2 calls from FWD
[iaxfwd]
type=user
context=fromiaxfwd
auth=rsa
inkeys=freeworlddialup
extensions.conf
Add some defintions to the [globals] section
;set IAX2 vars for FWD ; REPLACE THESE WITH YOUR SETTINGS
FWDNUMBER=MYFWDNUMBER ; your calling number
FWDCIDNAME="MyName"; your caller id
FWDPASSWORD=MYFWDPASSWORD ; your password
FWDRINGS=sip/office ; the phone to ring
FWDVMBOX=1000 ; the VM box for this user
and in the appropriate context add
exten => _393.,1,SetCallerId,${FWDCIDNAME}
exten => _393.,2,Dial(IAX2/${FWDNUMBER}
:${FWDPASSWORD}@iax2.fwdnet.net/${EXTEN:3},60,r)
exten => _393.,3,Congestion
(you can replace the 393 ['fwd'] with '8' or whatever prefix youd like to reach FWD.)
and define a context in which calls from fwd terminate:
[fromiaxfwd]
exten => ${FWDNUMBER},1,Dial(${FWDRINGS},20,r)
exten => ${FWDNUMBER},2,Voicemail,u${FWDVMBOX}
exten => ${FWDNUMBER},102,Voicemail,b${FWDVMBOX}
Don't forget to remove FWD's sip register command in sip.conf.
You will also need the freeworlddialup.pub key in your /var/lib/asterisk/keys/ directory. (If you installed from cvs after June 3, you probably have this file already.) If not, you can get it from this link.
