I haven't dealt with Centrex for a long time, and one of my customers is being courted heavily by a Sprint salesperson. Am I not correct in assuming that each "line" of Centrex corresponds to an "extension" in the PBX world? This site has 2 POTS lines and 5 extensions, and they told me that for the sam...

anyone know of a solution where mobile handsets out roaming the pstn cellular network can be used and treated as full fleged centrex extentions, i.e. I can transfer a call that comes in on a wired centrex copper pair out to a cell phone and the cell phone can transfer the call back or vice versa where the cell phone recieves the call directly and can transfer to the office all without hairpinning the call? essentially when the...

Greetings, List. I have my Asterisk box setup with 8 Centrex lines that were "left over" from our old PBX system. My boss is asking me to set up Asterisk so that he can flash hook and make an outgoing call on the same line to have a 3 way call. This is what he wants to do: 1) Incoming call on his Centrex line 2) Flash hook and dial a new numb...

Does anyone know what would be involved in making Asterisk work as a voicemail system in a Centrex environment? We have a Centrigram voicemail system that belongs in the Smithsonian. There are analog lines coming into the box and a 56KB data feed from the phone company's switch. Peter

Hello, I had a partner of mine present a Centrex 21 brochure and ask how many of those features can I fulfill. There is nothing out of the ordinary, it's stuff like call hold, call forward, 3-way calling, etc. Has anyone assembled a how-to that shows how to configure PBX or Centrex type functionality? I found one in the voip-info wiki but...

Hi, I'm looking at setting up an Asterisk PBX in our office, which gets its phone lines (digital signaling, analog voice) from the main campus, which uses Centrex. Does anyone know if this falls under analog or digital for hardware buying? I was looking at getting a Digium TDM-series, but apparently our lines aren't pots (due to the digital signaling). Could someone enlighten me a bit? Thanks a bunch. Devin Heckman University of California, Berkeley...

...busy, the customer will get a busy signal and will have no chance to leave a message... My question is this -- Is there any way around this problem other than ordering more POTS line that would, most of the time, sit idle and be used only to take voicemail? If it helps at all, we have Centrex service on our lines here... Is there a way for * to somehow hook into the telco's voicemail system using Centrex? Any thoughts would be appreciated... It will be hard for me to use * here if we lose part of our voicemail capabilities... It would also be a hard sell to buy extra lines...

Hi, My PBX/key system failed when building power was switched off and then back on. The service rep says the PBX unit is so old that it is not repairable. The unit has 8 incoming POTS lines and 12 multiline sets. There are voice mailboxes on each line. Switching to Qwest's Centrex system would cost about $3800/yr. My 8 business lines now cost $3320/yr, so the Centrex increment would be about $480/yr. Purchasing a new PBX would run anywhere from $4K to $9K. My questions are: should I be considering Asterisk? What type of telephone set could I use with Asterisk? Would...

..., Conference bridging, etc., etc. I would like to find a way to identify multi-location companies who would benefit from IP trunking - perhaps by industry segment. ie what type of company is likely to have multiiple locations with lots of interoffice communications. Also, I would love to target Centrex customers. I put in an Asterisk system for a local company that had been on Centrex. In short, it will save them $18,000.00 per year (and did pretty well for myself too:)). Any way to ID centrex customers? I'd be glad to share any tips ideas etc. as well if there is any interest. Just a th...

...nt.htm -------------- next part -------------- Hello I have Scitec 5S-c Analog Phone connected to Asterisk PBX. This phone has Message Waiting Indicator but I don't see it lighted whenever any voice mail comes. From phone documentation I came to know that this phone is compatible with NEON or Centrex/CLASS/VMWI message waiting formats. Could anyone please tell me if Asterisk PBX support these formats too. Do I need to do some configuration at * end to make use of MWI faeature. My voicemail folder is /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/610/INBOX Regards Tony

Hi all, I'm confused, in digium website, it says: TDM2400P: It supports a combination of up to 6 FXS and/or FXO modules for a total of 24 lines. 6 plus 6 is 12, how come it's 24? if I have 24 PSTN lines, i'll be needing 24 FXOs. Pls. elaborate. thanks. Lito -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello, I've been planning to replace my aging CENTREX switch with a new PBX and am seriously considering Asterisk as my solution. I work at a college, and we currently support just under 300 regular analog lines to the offices and whatnot. I was wondering.. Is asterisk ready for such a job? Would I be making a mistake to deploy this across the...

The file swig/classes/includes/wxLayoutConstraints.h may need to be updated. It''s missing centreX and centreY from the list of wxIndividualLayoutConstraints. I''d send a patch in but I''m wondering if this file just needs to be regenerated from scratch. Roy

...alidator. Something to dig into this weekend I suppose. Another thing I''m a bit unclear on is the whole (directors="1"). I''ll investigate that this weekend, too. Finally, one last little problem. It appears the C->ruby renamer isn''t handling names like centreX properly. centreX should be converted to centre_x as I understand it. The un_camelcase function in renamer.rb apparenly only uncamelcases if the first characters are uppercase. Thoughts? Roy

I live in New Brunswick Canada. The phone company is Aliant. When you set up business service here, you can go with either analog or digital lines. This isn't a T1 or ISDN. They are talking individual lines direct to handsets that they provide. They offer the digital option with even very small ( 2 - 4) number of lines. What technology could this be? Is there any way to connect such a

I've asked this question in the IRC Channel, and have had no happiness yet :-( I have incoming lines hooked to asterisk using X100P's. Unfortunately, when we cal forward our lines using the phone company, the line still rings about a half of a time. This is enough to get * to start 'simple switch' and after my 2 second wait, answer the line. Unfortunately, * doesn't see the

...a month ago and got a thoughtful resonse from Steven Critchfield, but I've got a quick follow up question to it. I'm looking to setup a 16 extension / 10-14 phone line Asterisk install for a customer who would like to have DID numbers for the extensions, since they're currently on Centrex and already have the 1-to-1 correspondence. Since I'm in a less populated area of the country, SBC doesn't seem to have much in the way of fractional T1 products (on the scale that we need them) available, so I think my only option for DID is to use (analog) DID trunks for incoming cal...

We are trying to implement "area-code dialing" in our asterisk PBX. Basically: we will have a number of customers, who may be in different area codes, that want to direct-dial each other's extensions. We want this to work like a "real" centrex, in that seven-digit numbers should try (1) "local" VoIP extensions, and then (2) "local" PSTN numbers. Ten-digit numbers should dial (1) "long-distance" VoIP extensions, and then (2) "long-distance" PSTN numbers. Here's my plan so far, does anyone ha...

...the time to really figure it out, nor to deliver a solution in a fixed time. I need someone who can help me spec the hardware and configure * for a small office pbx. At the minimum I need really solid ACD functionality set up. We'll need to use a channel bank to terminate our current incoming centrex lines in the short term, although I'm open to recommendations as to how to better integrate with SBC. In the future I'd like to integrate outbound and possibly inbound VOIP as well. If you've got the time to and expertise to do some consulting, please contact me. We're in the south...
