How to set asterisk to work as if a panasonic pbx in the old days
Dear all ching
I used my old panasonic pbx for the last 10 years (without caller id display function)
still remember there is a led light representing each line dialing (green led) in or occupied (red led)
and most important i know the incoming call from which pstn line(s)
[6 pstn shared among the staff in hk office]
2 years ago I started to use asterisk (employing elastix(freepbx) ..so dialplan knowledge is weak)
1 server in HK for 10 users (6 pstn+fxo mainly used to redirect thro IAX to sip phones)
and 1 server in China now >30 users (mainly cisco 7912g)
but I cannot set the asterisk to work in same as the panasonic pbx
so there is always 2 system in my office for the past 2 years 
what can I do
to have
1. knowing the incoming call (pstn no) ?
2. to hold the phone call and transfer to someother to take care ?
3. how many lines are occupying, and which pstn I should select to dial out ?
for hk, can I solve the problems by switch to 7960 (6 lines)
to take care 6 pstn
ie every phone registered that 6 extension
and all 6 pstn direct to that 6 extension
any idea?
I found VOIP wonderful but if it cannot set to do the same job as the old pbx
it is not easy for users to change over
I think the same problems should appear in HK and everywhere
and it is why asterisk employment is not that high as it should be
and it is why those voip phone (panasonic) employing sip/voip + ippbx
asking for >20,000 for 1 server + 8 phone + <8 pstn lines + installation +setting
any ching has similiar experience
can we share?! |
