So here's the situation.
My company consists of two employs: myself, and one other gentlemen who
lives all the way on the other side of the country. At any rate, We're
using a PBX in a Flash Purple, server with Free PBX 2.10 to run our
telephone system. This means obviously, we're back boning off of Asterisk.
At any rate, that's not exactly rellavant, I know, but I wanted you all to
know our hardware setup so you all could make the best suggestion. I
currently have an IPhone 5, nonjailbroken, and have no intention of doing
so, so don't ask me to. I'm running Media5 Sip Phone, and have all the in
app premium purchases for the app as well including the G729A codec. Plus,
on my desk, for when I'm not on the go, I have a Linksys Sipura Spa 210
which is unlocked and configured to our sip server which is using google
voice both for its in and outbound trunk. Anyway, so here is my question.
I need to get an app for my IPhone, or for my mac, but preferably! for my
IPhone, which would be accessible with Voiceover, obviously, but would have
intercom cabability. Media5 Sip Phone doesn't offer this, and neither does
Bria nor any of the other ones I've tried. Basically, I know I could just
use something like Voxer or Haytel, etc. but that really defeats the
purpose. I really don't wanna go outside my pbx if I can help it. I know
that Express Talk both on the Mac, and on the Windows side of things
definitely! provided you have the Professional license, which I do, I bought
it about a year ago, unknowing, but the problem is, I've not found any way
to configure it where it will work on any router. I've tried it with Belcon
routers, all different makes of Linksys/cisco both with hacked and with
nonhacked firmwares, I've tried with an airport extreme, as well as with an
express, I've tried with a Netgear, and even with a DLink, which was a
nightmare if ever there were one as far as accessibility goes. I wrote
NCH's tech support, and they were incredibly unhelpful, just pointing me
back to documentation to read online. I've tried literally everything in
those docs, plus probably way more, but no matter what, I cannot get the
stupid thing to register correctly on the sip server, on port 5060, but
that's for another post altogether. The point is, I can't use that, nor
hardly any other sip client on the Windows/Mac/Linux side of things due to
this hurtle. I don't know what made Telephone on the mac work, or why all
the IPhone apps I've tried seem on my wifi network to connect just fine, but
forget anything OSX/Windows/Linux based. Obviously, Telephone doesn't have
an intercom option, so that's out of the question. If any of you wanna try
helping me get Express Talk to work on my mac, over my network, be my guest,
as if you all can figure out what the hell's going on, I'll love you all
forever! Being I myself am a certified network admin, I must admit that I'm
feeling really stupid for not being able to figure this out, but I've looked
practically everywhere.
Anyway, I'll post another mail which is more specific to the issue with
Express Talk, and if you wanna take a stab at it, just let me know. Unless
one of you all tries helping me though, I've pretty well given up on that
option entirely. I even had another guy who's name I won't mention who
tried for almost 4 hours straight! to help me with this and couldn't figure
it out. He isn't a certified tech, and frankly, though I won't go into the
details of why, I'd not trust this idiot as far as you could throw them
after certain circumstances which occured, however, I will say this much. I
absolutely hate admitting it, but this guy does in most cases no his sh**.
Sometimes I wonder if he knows too much for his own good, but anyway, that's
neither here nor there. Point being, he! couldn't figure it out back in the
days either, try as he did. So, yeah, basically, what the ultimate goal is
is I'd like to get it where I could pick up my sipura extension, dial a
feature code, and then be able to say something like: Joe Bird? Call on park
1? Joe bird? Call on Park 1. and it be fed out as an all-call to everyone
with a connected intercom. I know! there are sip clients that will do this,
I just don't know any of them nor how to configure them. Just for your
reference, This is a Linksys WRT 54S wireless router that I currently am
using. Raul, I know you're on the list, as you're one of the mods. I also
know you guys back in the days when we talked a couple a times on the phone
told me that you all had a Linksys. I don't recall what model you said it
was, but I do remember you being extremely familiar with it, and telling me
it was in the wrt series. So, if nothing else, and no one else chimes in,
maybe you! may have some ideas.
Anyway, you all let me know.
Chris.
