Hi, I have one big question, sorry for this stupid question.
If I have a FreeBSD box with asterisk, what hardware do I need to connect 30 telephones to asterisk and use VOIP and landline calls ?
To connect phones to Asterisk you don’t need any specialist hardware, just a network switch to plug them into. However you might want to look for a network switch that support PoE and QoS. In terms of PSTN connectivity are you talking analogue, ISDN-BRI, or ISDN-PRI (T1/E1)? There are different interface boards for each of these. Also lots of manufacturers: Digium themselves, Sangoma, OpenVOX, etc.
Ha thanks, now I see,
One box (freeBSD) with asterisk and a card (RDIS or analogue) and then a swith all the VOIP phones connect to the switch.
The landline connects to the card.
Thank you very much.
That’s correct.
