Hi All, We've been running Asterisk for years in our offices but just recently replaced an Asterisk Appliance* in our smaller office with an actual server, upgraded the server in hardware in our HQ location and upgrading both ends to 11.5.0 with Gareth's patch for Cisco phones. 99.99% of our endpoints are Cisco 7961Gs.
Each office is more-or-less standalone for ease of management and fault tolerance but we have a unified dialplan and SIP "trunking" from site to site via our VPN. Everything presence related works wonderfully for local users, but I'm hoping there's a way we could get presence for the people "at the other end of the pipe" fairly transparently. We have a lot of cross-office collaboration, and our office manager/receptionist (who has the battleship of a 7961G+7914+7914 BLF) would love to "at a glance" know if the remote folks are available for a call or not. I'm sure this has been covered, but my Googlefu us turning up a ton of redundant, old, and deprecated information so I've resorted to asking here. >From what I have found it sounds like it may be "easier" with IAX2 but my >experiments with IAX2 haven't yielded wonderful results and management prefers >"SIP everywhere" If anyone has any pointers I'd greatly appreciate it - thanks in advance! Lincoln *- One of the worst IT decisions I've made for better or worse. Looked good on paper; in practice not a good idea for anything beyond a very simple SOHO. -- Lincoln King-Cliby, CTS, DMC-D, CCMP-S Commercial Market Director Sr. Systems Architect | Crestron Certified Master Programmer (Silver) V: 440.449.1100 x1107 F: 440-449-1106 I: http://www.controlworks.com<http://www.controlworks.com/> Crestron Services Provider
