We had an outage from our ISP this afternoon that cut prevented us from connecting to our SIP provider (someone physically cut a line downstream). All our phones inside the office stopped working as well? Why is that, and how can I set this up so phones can still dial each other inside the office? Thanks! jlc

However, I recently completed a project that overcomes the situation you describe. I installed a cellular gateway giving me a wireless trunk. If I lose IP connectivity I can route calls out through my cell carrier. Works really well. The project is documented here: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30469/82/ Michael -- Michael Graves mgraves<at>mstvp.com http://blog.mgraves.org o713-861-4005 c713-201-1262 sip:mjgraves at pixelpower.onsip.com skype mjgraves 54245 at fwd.pulver.com
Are they just a trunk? Or are they your full PBX? If they are the full PBX, they handle the dialplan for dialing between phones, so there is no way around this. You would instead have to have your own Asterisk box at the same location as your phones, and use them for trunking if this is what you wanted to do. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Joseph L.

in this whole thread are we missing a subtle difference? that being the difference between inter vs. intra office. when your wan connectivity drops I'd expect your INTERoffice (from one office to another) calls to fail. INTRAoffice (within the same office) calls should work though. Eric On Mon, Jun 9, 2008 at 3:51 PM, Joseph L.
