You can install a browser softphone on the same server and make calls
from any browser. Ted

  Hello all!
  Is there a way to (mis)use asterisk itself as a softphone? Can
  I make a call
  from within the CLI? Can asterisk from itself produce a ringtone? Or
  can I
  bind a system-command to incoming calls?
  Any help is sincerely appreciated!
  Kindest regards

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco vs Asterisk

2008-07-24 Thread T G
I'm a CCIE and CCVP. I have worked in the Cisco TSBU on both CCM and
Telepresence systems I have two IP patents for the VoiP Lite protocols
and have been designing and building OSS IPBXs for companies including
Google going back to 2001. I'm not mentioning any of that to be jerk I
mentioned it to say I'm as qualified as anyone to to compare the CCM and
OSS servers. The only fair way to compare the two is a list of weights
features, for example if cost is your biggest feature then OSS is better,
if support is your biggest feature than Cisco wins. When a customer is
comparing the costly (TCO) and best supported systems in the world with
hundreds of thousands installed systems for the large global companies on
the planted backed by 54,000 employees and over $25b in the bank vs, a
FREE system with one layer of support maybe two layers of support, the
features don't even come in the evaluation in my opinion. I once asked a
manager why did you buy the CCM and he said no one ever got fired for
buying Cisco if anything wrong, If push the OSS and it goes I could loose
my job. I would get a list of the important features, because there is no
answer to your question of which is better.

   Hello all,
  
   A client of us, is thinking to migrate their actual PBX to a Cisco
   CallManager. We want to sell him an asterisk box to complement the
   Cisco PBX.
   I think to use asterisk as a Voicemail server (Replazing the Cisco
  Unity)
  
   Has asterisk all the functionalities to replace a CIsco Unity
  server?
   Which functionalities Cisco Unity has than asterisk could cover?
   How could asterisk complement the Cisco Call Manager
  funcionalities?
  
  To answer your questions, one would need to know what exactly are
  all the functionalities of a Cisco Unity server,
  and more specificaly, what are the needs of your client.

  But i'm pretty sure the voip-info wiki can answer the asterisk
  part...

  You said migrate to a Cisco, what do they have now?

  Sell them all Cisco. You will make more money and great residual
  income for MACs ;-)

  Anyways, you could ditch the Cisco entirely and use Asterisk.

  Thanks,

  Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2008 19:04:31 -0500


  Hello,

  I've done a bit of research, though obviously in the wrong places. :)
  I'm looking to set up some type of distinctive ring for SIP phones
  based
  on the context in which the SIP phone is being called from. If that
  sounds confusing it isn't.

  I have two FXOs connected to POTS, so in essence a caller could be
  dialing us at one of two phone numbers. Each of those FXOs has its
  own
  context in extensions.conf. The contexts essentially grab the
  incoming
  call and ring a bunch of single line SIP phones. If no one answers
  then
  the call is sent to voicemail depending on the number that the caller
  dialed. The problem is that when the SIP phones ring, there's no way
  for us humans to tell which number the caller actually dialed.

  My initial thought was to make some type of distinctive ring to the
  SIP
  phones to indicate which number the caller dialed, much in the same
  way
  that the telco does it when someone has the distintive ring service.

  Another idea would be to set the callerid on the SIP phones to
  indicate
  which line was dialed. The drawback there is that we lose the
  incoming
  callerid from POTS. Maybe set one of line of the callerid to the
  incoming line and leave the other as the callerid number?

  Does anyone have experience with setting distinctive ring in SIP in
  such
  a way?

  Steve
