First of all, we need to open a shell on a standard TrixBox installation. In order to check the status of all the managed connections, first increase Asterisk's verbose output by executing

[root@asterisk1 ~]# asterisk -vvvr

The Asterisk daemon on the TrixBox will show some output like

Asterisk comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; type 'show warranty' for details.

=========================================================================
Connected to Asterisk 1.2.13 svn rev 47264 currently running on asterisk1 (pid = 2347)
Verbosity was 1 and is now 3
asterisk1*CLI>

the last line shows a command prompt; this is Asterisk's own CLI. Now we can execute

show channeltypes

And Asterisk will generate a response like

This is an overview of the channels Asterisk listens to.

So far this does not seem to work; the used system is trixbox 2.0. After looking at the TrixBox support fora, it is clear that the trixBox project has no big experience with the h323 protocol; in general TrixBox relies on the OpenH323 project for the h323 protocol stack implementation. This implementation is known to work only for some peculiar combinantions of packages for Asterisk and it's addons (see Trixbox v2 ooH323 broken?)
