Re: [Asterisk-Users] Virtual PBX setup.
None of these. You should run one instance of * on one box, and configure extensions.conf with different contexts for different companies. For music on hold use setmusiconhold in the dial plan.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Virtual PBX setup.
I would think the best solution would be to have each virtual PBX have it's own context and only run a single instance of asterisk. This way you have less overhead and can more easily manage the sharing of any physical devices that you may have. Jon.

Maybe I am using the wrong word to describe what I want. 1) Segment the companies up in the extensions.conf file - This could handle the incoming outgoing calls but would have to share other configuration options in the other config files like moh etc. I'm looking at this as well. I think Asterisk's context feature can be used to partition the PBX for multiple clients. When a call arrives on a T-1, the DID number will cause the call to be routed to that client's [incoming-call-x] context. The client's extensions would be defined in the [default-x] context, and each client would have a [local-x] context for outbound calling rules. I haven't tried this yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. 2) Install multiple instances of * on the same machine - Seems like a good choice any problems with this and documentation on what needs to be done? Red flags here. I'm not sure if multiple instances of Asterisk would be able to share the Zap channels known to the zaptel module--could channels 1-12 belong to Asterisk instance #1 and channels 13-24 to instance #2? Probably not. You also have the problem with /var/run/asterisk.pid. 3) Run inside of a virtual server environment like vmware or virtual linux server. - Seems like a good choice also. Anyone have any experience using * in this situation? Wouldn't you still have physical circuits attached to physical boxes, each box running an instance of Asterisk? I'm exploring a file server based system, with diskless call servers mounting their file systems from the file server. All configuration and voicemail files will reside on the file server. The file server will be server-grade hardware with RAID, while the call servers will be relatively cheap desktop quality hardware. All boxes will have two NIC interfaces on the MB, one a public interface and the other a private interface for inter-system IAX traffic. Each call server will have just a two- or four-port T-1 card in a 1U rack-mount chassis. Each extension on the Cisco 79xx can be configured to register to a particular IP address, so each phone can be registered across two or more call servers. I'm thinking that the failure of a call server won't necessarily bring the system down, just degrade the service. Plugging the T-1 circuit(s) into a spare call server and powering-up the box would restore the system.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, You can setup virtual pbxs. Basically you need to have some form of discriminator to route the calls to specific contexts so you can play the appropriate IVR prompts and include the other proper extensions via their contexts. As for redundancy, it all depends on the type of interfaces. It is easy to replicate your config files to more than one machine. The difficulty is in arranging for the failover. You have to have other devices if you are wanting to switch analog phone lines or T1/E1 lines. Ethernet isn't as bad but dealing with registrations can be a momentary problem. Don't take this wrong, but as you better understand the technology, the methods to accomplish your objectives will be much easier to configure. -- Steven Critchfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Virtual PBX (*)
Girish Gopinath wrote: Hi, I have received some replies for my previous mail (* configuration), asking for my goals in configuring Asterisk. So here they are: We are planning to host an Inter continental virtual PBX service that will enable our users to register for an account which give them a toll-free # or a DID. Once registered using a web based interface, that user can add as manay extensions he/she wants and people can be conencted from remote locations in Japan, India using Asterisk and have a US based phone #. We already have tie-ups with some of the carrier providers in the US. The initial tests were successful, we were able to divert calls using IAX2, and we are expecting around 100 virtual PBX owners and around 2000 users to make use of this facility, that includes features like Call forwarding, VM, IVR, NAT traversal etc. I'm trying to put together a document for my company which would help users in setting a service of this magnitude using Asterisk and help here would be greatly accepted, and I promise once finished I will publish all my test results here in the group. Now, lets assume I have a linux box on a dual processor 3.2 GHz Intel box with 4GB RAM, RAID system and at the data center we would have bandwidth of around 1Mbit 2000 users on 1Mbps?? I think you will probably need more bandwidth.. Using iLBC, 1Mbps will only give you about 40 concurrent VoIP channels.. 1) How many Voicemails can be recorded at a time? Depends on where the call is coming from (PSTN via Tx00P or VoIP) and what format you are storing voicemails in (wav or gsm).. 2)How many IVR's it can handle simultaneously? Again depends on where the call is coming from.. 3)Whether Postgres or Mysql is best suited? The choice is yours, both will work, but IMO I believe MySQL to be faster and better suited to this type of application (No flames please) 4)How many NAT traversal relay sessions can be there at a time? Bandwidth limit.. so about 40.. 5)How to cluster multiple * boxes? (for failover dialing) Good question, Asterisk does not really have much in the way of clustering that I am aware of, especially where NAT is involved becasue the ports need to be opened to a particular IP address from the inside.. So to try and failover to another IP address would mean that your users would probably have to reconfigure thier side to talk to the new IP.. Unless you use some third party load balancing/failover switch, but SIP may have issues with this due to the nature of the traffic.. Looking forward to seeing your final results..

A PSTN connection is going to have lower overhead in that it is in u-law or a-law codec. If you come in over VoIP, either you have sacrificed your bandwidth to get the same codec as PSTN, or you are doing translations on top of the recording overhead. It all comes down to codecs. -- Steven Critchfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
