I installed my first asterisk box, got 3 VOIP telephones connected, got voicemails set up for the users, got the inbound calls and outbound calls to route, got the incoming faxes to recieve, set up and auto-attendant. </p> <p>The purpose of this article is to share with the asterisk community my experience of setting up the system for the first time. First of all, it took forever. I started at about 2:00PM and at 9:00PM i was just about wrapping up. Thats 7 hours for 3 phones, and i had already installed the OS and figured did a testing phase in my shop. Here is a list of things i didn't know i needed untill i got there.</p> Wed, 26 Oct 2005 00:04:44 -0700 http://www.ctunion.com/node/8 <p>You can get started with your own Linux Based PBX system. All you need is an old computer, a ZAPTEL based modem, and a burned copy of Asterisk @ home. You can download the software from <a href="http://asteriskathome.sourceforge.net/">http://asteriskathome.sourceforge.net/ </a></p> <p>I have personally had very good results with this disk. I have attempted other versions of asterisk install but this one is by far the easiest for the beginning asterisk admin. </p> <p>These servers allow you to set up telephone systems for your customers at 1/2 the cost of a traditional telephone system with more features. I highly recommend this for any computer tech that is planning to be in the business for a while as this is the future of all telecommunications.</p> Thu, 20 Oct 2005 19:44:03 -0700
