<h1>Hands-on Lab - Troubleshooting Common Issues</h1>
</header>
<main>
<section>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>In this hands-on lab, you will learn how to troubleshoot common issues encountered in Asterisk deployments. By the end of this lab, you will be able to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Identify common problems in Asterisk setups.</li>
<li>Use diagnostic tools and commands to troubleshoot issues.</li>
<li>Apply best practices in resolving and preventing common problems.</li>
</ul>
<p>This practical exercise will equip you with the skills needed to effectively troubleshoot and maintain a reliable Asterisk telecommunication system.</p>
</section>

<section>
<h2>Step-by-Step Instructions</h2>

<h3>1. Common Problems and Solutions</h3>

<h4>No Audio on Calls</h4>
<p>Check Firewall Settings:</p>
<pre><code>Ensure that the necessary ports (e.g., 5060 for SIP, 10000-20000 for RTP) are open.</code></pre>
<p>Verify NAT Settings:</p>
<pre><code>sudo nano /etc/asterisk/sip.conf

Add the following under [general]:

nat=yes
externip=<Your_Public_IP>
localnet=192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0</code></pre>

<h4>Registration Issues</h4>
<p>Check SIP Credentials:</p>
<pre><code>Ensure the correct username and password are used in the SIP client configuration.</code></pre>
<p>Verify Network Connectivity:</p>
<pre><code>Ensure the SIP client can reach the Asterisk server.</code></pre>
</section>

<section>
<h3>2. Diagnostic Tools and Commands</h3>

<h4>Asterisk CLI Commands</h4>
<p>Check SIP Peers:</p>
<pre><code>sip show peers</code></pre>
<p>Check Channels:</p>
<pre><code>core show channels</code></pre>

<h4>Log Files</h4>
<p>Asterisk Log:</p>
<pre><code>sudo tail -f /var/log/asterisk/full</code></pre>
<p>System Log:</p>
<pre><code>sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog</code></pre>
</section>

<section>
<h3>3. Best Practices</h3>

<h4>Regular Updates</h4>
<p>Keep Asterisk and all related packages up to date to avoid known issues.</p>

<h4>Backup Configurations</h4>
<p>Regularly back up configuration files to prevent data loss.</p>

<h4>Monitor System Performance</h4>
<p>Use monitoring tools to track the performance of the Asterisk server and identify issues early.</p>
</section>

<section>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>By following these detailed hands-on labs, you will build a comprehensive understanding of Asterisk, starting from basic installation and configuration to advanced telecommunication solutions. Each lab builds upon the previous one, ensuring a smooth learning curve and avoiding redundancy.</p>
