I’m new to this (VOiP) and I want to install an asterisk system @ home, that will be able to communicate and call over the analog phone (using my current number).
So here are my questions :
What kind (specific) equipement/cards do I need ?
Can I use my analog phone device for the asterisk system ?
At the moment we are on the normal phone system (phone numbers like 123-123-1234 ) but I want to plug the phone using those numbers to a new asterisk system, and then from the asterisk system to the internet and to the ( 123-123-1234 ) phone network.
I don’t know if you understand me, and pardon me for my bad english… I am french…
Please be aware that I’m not an expert yet in Asterisk, I’ve been only playing with it for a couples of weeks now… really exiting stuff! But since we want to implement it in our business, I’m the one in charge of the project… So I’ll probably be able to help you out more a bit later! Oh and by the way, I speak french to!
For the hardware part, first comes first, it pretty much all depends on your needs. I mean if it’s for personal use, I got a Wildcard X100P for 30$ on Ebay. Yeah I know, it’s cheap and it’s worth what it’s worth, but hey, for testing purposes it’s okay. Now for the office, we use a TDM2400P as well as a TE411P Quad T1 from Digium. We also tried mediatrix 1124 as well as Mediatrix 1500. There’s alot of different brandname out there…
