Hi all, I regret that I don't know much about telephony as I'm a networking bod, but here goes...
We are thinking about implementing a VoIP service so that staff and students can make VoIP calls from home or using our wireless LAN on campus. Clearly, we would like it to integrate with our PBX so VoIP users can talk to the PSTN as well. We don't actually control the University's PBX, so it is highly desirable that any changes to the PBX are very minimal! We were thinking of setting up a single extension which is associated with a huntgroup on the PBX that somehow connects (via an E1?) to the Asterisk box. If a user leaves his office he sets his extension to re-direct calls to that extension number (or to re-direct on no-reply). The PBX would route the call to the asterisk huntgroup. Asterisk would "see" the original extension number called (assuming this is possible!!), and (knowing which extension maps to which user to which IP address) route the call to the user over the IP network. I can handle the IP stuff without any problems. My question is: is this a possible/sensible approach to implementing this type of service? If not, what's a better solution? TIA for any suggestions/comments, josh. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Josh Howlett, Networking & Digital Communications, Information Systems & Computing, University of Bristol, U.K. 'phone: 0117 928 7850 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
