Figuring Out the Files
If you enter into your Asterisk configuration directory, /etc/asterisk, you’ll see 62 files by default. If you’re
taking over a previous installation administered by someone else, you may see more than that. Looking at
the file names, you’ll see they have cryptic labels like rtp.conf, or file names that seem to be the same thing,
like asterisk.adsi and adsi.conf. When trying to configure your system, finding the right file to edit can be like
unearthing the proverbial needle in a haystack. (See Table3.1 for information on what each file controls.)
To say Asterisk has a lot of settings would be an understatement of mammoth proportions. While this is a
lus when you want to tweak Asterisk to fit your needs exactly, it is a bit overwhelming. However, don’t fret.
Certain configuration files can be ignored if you don’t have certain hardware, and other files can be ignored
if you do not need to enable certain features of Asterisk.
