Note from the Author or Editor:
Change the passage to read:
We can verify that the TFTP service is set to run on startup by running the following commands:
# chkconfig --list | grep tftp\|xinetd
If you see both "tftp: on" and "xinetd: on", the TFTP server is configured to start automatically when the computer boots. You can then restart the xinetd service to ensure that the TFTP server is running (so that you don't have to restart your computer now) by typing:
# service xinetd restart

first footnote |
In the footnote phrase:
"If safe_9780596009625 was used to start Asterisk, the first Asterisk console will
be on TTY9, which means that you will not be able to view AGI errors remotely".
In really, we can use the 'conspy' software for view TTY9 from remote access. It
works like a vnc access, but to console instead X. You can access the server via ssh
or telnet, then run
conspy 9
, a voila!

regcontext (channel) & regexten (channel) entries |
Replace regcontext (channel) & regexten (channel) entries with the following:
regcontext (channel)
The regcontext option is used in conjunction with the regexten option
to automatically create a NoOp() application entry into the dialplan
at the first priority of the specified context when a peer registers.
The extension will also automatically be removed from the dialplan
upon the peer either becoming unreachable, or unregistered. The
regcontext option is valid in both the iax.conf and sip.conf channel
configuration files and can be set globally or on a per-peer basis. If
regcontext is configured, and a regexten is not explicitly configured
for a peer definition, the peer name will be used as the extension to
be created. The context is not automatically created by Asterisk and
must defined manually in extensions.conf.
An example of the regcontext and regexten options may be in
combination with the DUNDi protocol. The context pointed to by the
regcontext option could be used as the "advertisement context" defined
in the [mappings] section of the dundi.conf file.
regcontext=registered-phones
regexten (channel)
The regexten option is used in conjunction with the regcontext option
to automatically create a NoOp() application entry into the dialplan
at the first priority of the specified context when a peer registers.
One or more extensions may automatically be created by separating them
with an ampersand (&) on the same line. You may add dialplan logic to
the context defined by the regcontext option starting at priority 2,
or optionally using the 'n' priority.
regexten=myphone

first actual line of code under Congestion() heading |
The original text says:
; if the Caller ID is 555-1234, always play congestion
exten => 123,1,GotoIf($[${CALLERIDNUM} = 5551234]?5:2)
exten => 123,2,Playtones(congestion)
exten => 123,3,Congestion()
exten => 123,4,Hangup()
exten => 123,5,Dial(Zap/1)
But in fact this will do the exact opposite. It will dial only if the calledID is
5551234 and play congestion for all other callerIDs.
The actual code should be:
; if the Caller ID is 555-1234, always play congestion
exten => 123,1,GotoIf($[${CALLERIDNUM} = 5551234]?2:5) ; swapped 5 and 2 at the end
exten => 123,2,Playtones(congestion)
exten => 123,3,Congestion()
exten => 123,4,Hangup()
exten => 123,5,Dial(Zap/1)

Curl() heading |
Currently reads:
"Curl() is often used to signal external applications of dialplan events."
It should read:
"Curl() is often used to signal remote applications of dialplan events."
Reasoning:
System() is used to invoke external applications with dialplan events. Curl() is
unique in that it can invoke remote applications, something that System cannot
(directly) do.

Somewhere in the description for Cut(), it should say: the real benefit of Cut is
that it allows parsing of variable-length fields.

NoOp() heading |
The description of NoOp() should note that its usage for debugging is entirely a side
effect of the dialplan, but only works if your verbose level is 3 or higher. For
true control of verbose output at any verbosity, see the Verbose() application.
