Hi, I'm interested in finding someone who has used this product. The documentation mentions its use "with" asterisk, not sure what that even means. This may not be of interest to the list, so feel free to email me if you are at all familiar with this product. tia, rr

I do. I spent about a month doing contract work for a company that provides pbx hosting. Their hosting is based on Centile. What do you want to know?... they had about 80 customers (virtual pbxs), 320 ip phones... it seemed to be running ok. I could have done the same thing with asterisk :) CS -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of randulo Sent: Monday, June 23, 2008 3:12 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Centile ipbx, anyone heard of this?

I could have done the same thing with asterisk :)Basically, I was really curious why a company would use this instead of asterisk. Apparently, as I said, there is a reference in the docs, something like "if you use asterisk on the same machine (or maybe network), ..." I understand why people use SER, but wanted to know about this. When you google centile there's little info. I couldn't sleep, woke up in the middle of the night,, I think I may have solved the problem I was having but I can't test the solution until it's a decent hour (now=4AM). The problem was totally idiotic. I had left a phone on another site and it was registering to the same account as a phone on this site. I believe the way Centile deals with NAT may be part of why it's different from asterisk. Thanks for your comments, /r

Yes, it has a few phones it knows how to provision. I am using "generic SIP device" for both the phones currently in use.>Although I don't know the details of your setup, it > would not surprise me to see Centile accepting 2 different phones with the > same extension on the same pbx.Well, my 4AM brainstorm didn't help. The phone I'm having trouble with is my favorite one, a Siemens S675IP. It is registered and works perfectly with 5 other SIP providers. On the Centile pbx, it can make calls but it can not be called. The web admin interface shows the correct public and NAT ip addresses and shows the phone "in service". Calling it from another phone rings once and then goes to congestion, or at least that's the signal I hear. (It's wierd not being able to ssh in and see what's happening.)

You can also open a trouble ticket with them.No, I don't have the auth to ssh, but in the end it was a config error on my end. The fact that they patiently worked through this (there was a ticket, I just like to get more input from experienced people) and that they got it running confirms I made the right choice of people to work with. Great service and mea culpa, I am not worthy. I really wondered why a phone would work with every other provider and asterisk 1.2 and not on this thing. thx again for the input.
