Hi everyone. Do you think that it will be possible (with the help of this forum) to bring up a asterisk server in the next two days without any previous asterisk experience and a little linux experience. The problem is that i made a very bad choice on software pbx (3cx) and now the company i work as an it manager has really ALOT of problems. Before reverting back to classic pbx i really have to try to bring up a server in order to save all that money spend on gxp2020 (75 of them) and patton 4960 with 1 E1 interface and my reputation (if not my job)
First, the hardware. You need two good quality server level boxes to put the E1 cards in, a big UPS, and the wiring has to already be done. One box will be your testing/backup box.
Next, you need software. I tend to prefer AsteriskNOW, for easy set up and web based configuration management. It can also automatically provision the Grandstream phones.
Stay away from the beta distributions. I know they are probably more stable than Windows Vista (lol) but for a production environment, get used to being one version back, then testing the snot out of it on a backup system.
I’ve never worked with one of the Patton boxes, and have no idea whether Asterisk even supports it.
its from an italian site easyasterisk. This config its exactly (even sip account) the same 3cx provided for me. I think now that patton will work but:
I know this will sound silly i told you no asterisk experience (i am currently reading through installation) but which is the ini file this portion goes in
