What do I do if my asterisk server has a private IP Address?
Please enter the following two settings (externip and localnet) at the top of your sip.conf file in the general section.
If public, nothing needs to be added to the general section. Depending on your setup, you might need to forward all ports
to your Asterisk server's private IP address or put the private IP address of the Asterisk server on the DMZ.
externip=WAN IP address
localnet=192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 (or whatever your private LAN is configured for)

Use the chart below to select a base system size. The chart is based on concurrent calls, which is the most important metric in sizing an Asterisk PBX system. Concurrent calls means: “How many people will be on the phone at the same time?”
For instance:
Find your concurrent calls in the first column, and view your recommended system requirements.
Concurrent Calls | Processor | RAM | Hard Drives* |
< 5 | 500 Mhz | 256 MB | 40 GB |
5-10 | 1 Ghz | 512 MB | 80 GB |
11-24 | 2Ghz (Single or Dual Core) | 1 GB | 500GB – 1TB |
25-50 | Quad Core Xeon | 2 GB | 40 GB + NAS |
51-100 | 2 x Quad Core Xeon | 4 GB | 40 GB + NAS |
101-200 | 4 x Quad Core Xeon | 8 GB | 40 GB + NAS |

Lots, but it is not a service provider, its more geared towards office use, and there are many factors affecting usable size.
The following is used to fix one way audio on your Asterisk PBX if you do not have a public static IP address on your asterisk pbx, and you are using IP authentication (not SIP username/password Registration).
You will need to enter the following two settings (externip and localnet) at the top of your sip.conf file in the general section.
externip=WAN IP address
localnet=192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 (or whatever your private LAN is configured for)
Depending on your setup, you might need to forward all ports to your Asterisk server's private IP address or put the private IP address of the Asterisk server on the DMZ.
Note: If you have a public static IP address assigned to the server itself, then you do not need to add these settings to your config.
