Asterisk PBX

Asterisk is, in fact, a communications toolkit. Not a ready-to-go PBX. It has a lot of functionality that someone needs to craft into something. That something most often happens to be a PBX, but it doesn’t have to be a PBX. It can be contact center software, an automated call distributor, a voicemail system, a video mail system, an IP-PBX, or so much more. Someone could even add their own IoT hooks to it to turn it into some other kind of communication system. (For full details, see https://www.sangoma.com/products/open-source/).

These instructions help you configure your Asterisk phone system to work with TIM Plus. Contact your system maintainer if you are not familiar with the configuration of your PBX.
