asterisk users - Jul 2013 - Digium Analog card and Asterisk

Hi


I just bought some digium analog cards and I would like to build an IVR
system for my customers.



However I am googling and googling , I didn't find any blog and instruction
for beginners like me.  So I come here for help. Any tips or blogs will
help.



Regards,
Hua Jie

Start simple, with something like the following in extensions.conf.  (You will 
have to make the announcement files yourself, and find some songs.) 


[default]
exten => 8882,1,Goto(vpjb,s,1)

;;;;;;;;;;;  VERY PRIMITIVE  JUKE BOX CONTEXT  ;;;;;;;;;;;
[vpjb]
exten => s,1,Background(ajs_juke01)
; "Press 1 for Ocean Colour Scene, 2 for Crowded House"
exten => s,n,WaitExten(1)
exten => s,n,Goto(1)

exten => i,1,Hangup()

exten => 1,1,Background(ajs_anykey)
; "Press any key to stop the music and return to the menu"
exten => 1,n,MP3Player(/songs/09_policemen+pirates.mp3)
exten => 1,n,Goto(vpjb,s,1)

exten => 2,1,Background(ajs_anykey)
exten => 2,n,MP3Player(/songs/15_distant_sun.mp3)
exten => 2,n,Goto(vpjb,s,1)

exten => _X,1,Hangup()

"Very Primitive" is no exaggeration, but it is enough to demonstrate
the
rudimentary principles of a voice menu system.

An even bigger problem would be support.  Assume you are lucky and you get
it with SIP for example.

What happen if one morning you wake up and its broken? Your setup would so
unique you would be completely on your own. That's not good position to put
your organization. When you are setting thing for production,  you have to
think of maintenance.

Better to look for alternative product if your employer can't stomach one
Linux box in your office.
