i need to configure a server, ip based telephone server.but i dont know any thinkg about it.is there is ip telephone server in linux..? and how it work for making call..?how we can store cal records of all call ? etc
We have asterisk on a dedicated server, we also do queue based call recording and there are plenty of add-ons available for reporting call statistics etc.
We have roughly 30 extensions half (our customer service agents) are "soft" phones using EyeBeam software and the rest are Grandstream GPX-2000 desk phones.
is it a software or configuration file......how should i configured it on my server.
and any start up material to learn more about it.for me as i dont know any thing about ip based tele...its totally new concept for me...
i have a que.not linked with this thread , i want to know different kind of server implemented in linux..few i know and wants to know more..may i know how many different kind of server your were handling in linux..
i want to implement for my company.we had epbx for our company.i hear about ip based phone server in linux.and also many had posted thread for telephone server issue.so i posted.
If you have no previous experience, I suggest getting a distribution as trixbox or Elastix (this is the one I used).
Download the image, burn it into a DVD, boot the Pc with that DVD and it will install everything for you (be aware that the installation will delete everything else you might have in the hard disk) but then again I suggest using a dedicated system for IP based PBX.
Remember that if you whatn to interface with standard phone lines you will need to buy specialized hardware. If you work with an IP Telephony provider, the software is all you will need.
Then Of course you will have to configure your trunks (external phone lines) and extensions (internal phone lines).
Aterisx is the core open source VOIP plaform but you do need Linux / VOIP skills to leverage it, however, the good people over at FreePBX have put together a CentOS based distro that fires up into a headless system accesible via a web browser.
Having some VOIP / SIP knowledge will be an advantage but I have 2 copies working in my VOIP lap, trunked to Cisco Call Manager and an Internet provider and can honestly say its a lot easier to setup and configure than Cisco kit.
Use a spare piece of tin or use in a VM, mine runs on virtual Box bridged not NAT to the local LAN with know fixed IP address's.
in my company epbx line and services is taken by BSNL(govt.) ....
for making ip based tele server , is we require bsnl services..or just by configuring server we will have our own service
there is also a great book available that guides you through most of the configuration process named "Elastix Without tears" ... I used it and was very helpfull in understanding the concepts.
