Hi David, We're migrating from Cisco to asterisk because cisco is expensive to maintain, besides we can achieve more with asterisk like customised IVRs etc.
This being a large production environment, we can't just change over without testing thoroughly..it has to be down in phases such that theye's no downtime at all. Now, for outgoing calls, the cisco gateways are working in parallel with asterisk. Now, i'd like to completely get rid of the cisco gateways by routing incoming calls through asterisk too (to the call manager, and finally the phones). After that, they'll be satisfied and i'll start registering the phones to asterisk until everything is asterisk. It has to be a smooth transition, just fyi, we're about 200 employees. I'll appreciate any advice towards achieving this.
