SIP-Telefonie, das unschönste und komplizierteste Rabbithole in das ich bisher klettern musste... Ernsthaft, macht das irgendwem Spasszzzz?? #snom #sip #freepbx #clusterfuck

Any suggestions for a hosted #Asterisk and #FreePBX hosting service? We want to do some VoIP calling testing and don’t want to have to dig into self-hosting for a quick play around with it all.

I did try PowerPBX but they need a UK VAT number to supply to UK businesses. Thanks Brexit!

[Edited to note that this wasn’t an admin error by PowerPBX… but since they collect the country perhaps they could have just not let us sign up?]

Blogged again... this time about Sangoma and @crosstalksol (but mostly Sangoma).

A day of #telephones - reconfigured #FreePBX #trunks that link on-premises #PBX with #cloud PBX to use #PJSIP rather than chan_sip - hopefully they will stay registered more reliably, repaired handset of desktop #VOIP phone with broken RJ9 socket using another harvested from defective analogue set (not prettiest repair, and I had to check the wiring colours as they are *different* between original and new socket), but it works #Repair #Maintenance #Telecoms

Die letzten zwei Stunden #FreePBX studiert, soll für die Firma eine bessere Warteschleife und Begrüßung aufsetzen.
Wenn man das System versteht, dann ist es recht logisch.

Blogged: Sangoma continues to disappoint

Not the greatest response to @jfinstrom from Sangoma:

Yes, #FreePBX & #VoIP is good, in fact I did also install such setups even for average people, but espechally businesses...

• And yes, aside from FreePBX I can also recommend cheap #CPEs like #FritzBox by #AVM and OFC #Ubiquiti #UniFi as alternatives to look into if you want a more "streamlined" and clean / uniform setup and not a zoo of devices...

Also I too am a #Millenial who prefers dedicaded devices...

For those working with Telephony and Voice Over IP systems in Linux servers:

sigh

So while I was waiting for a DID to port over to my voip provider I idly ran dnf clean all && dnf update -y on my #FreePBX box that I route most of my phones through.

This utterly 110% broke FreePBX, to the point where it somehow wasn't talking to the database. Once I got it talking to the database it was somehow not talking to asterisk, and after a whole pile of time trying to debug, I dumped the database, rsynced the data off and I've now wiped it and installed Debian so that I can start a manual migration to FreePBX 17 so that I'm out of the CentOS 7 mess that FreePBX 16 was on ANYWAY

Needless to say it's absolutely NOT the way that kind of thing should go, and frankly I'd expect better from Sangoma since they maintain FreePBX.

Cest la vie, I'll be upgraded, and I've got the data it's just going to be a pile of copy/paste for a bit till I get it all sorted.

Как сделать виртуальную АТС на базе VPS

Несмотря на популярность мессенджеров и телеконференций, ни один офис ещё не отказался от телефонной связи. Люди такие существа, что иногда предпочитают общаться голосом. В каждом офисе установлена мини-АТС, которая коммутирует внутренние звонки. Телефоны сотрудников подключаются к коммуникационному шкафу или коробочке с Asterisk (как на КДПВ), а она подключена к телефонной сети общего пользования (PSTN или ТСОП). Таким образом, сотню офисных телефонов можно повесить на один внешний номер. В общем, мини-АТС — совершенно необходимая вещь. Виртуальная или облачная АТС (hosted PBX) — это услуга для компаний, которая заменяет им обычную офисную АТС. Вместо того, чтобы покупать специализированное телекоммуникационное оборудование или выделять отдельный компьютер с Asterisk , они заказывают услугу на удалённом хостинге. И этот компьютер с Asterisk (IP-АТС) физически размещается у провайдера. Таким образом, виртуализация добралась и до АТС, всё в русле современных тенденций.

Big thanks to Lorne Gaetz for his help testing apiban-fail2ban on FreePBX 16/17. His feedback has allowed for script improvements and better documentation.

Added a new simple, lazy install script for the apiban-fail2ban client. The script is geared towards freepbx using "asterisk-iptables" as the jail.

Running #freepbx or a web facing system with #fail2ban ?

There’s an apiban client for that ;)

So... I've found 2 issues while using raspbx (FreePBX-based) with Jami on both Debian and Android:

- Text messages get interpreted as voice calls: I guess SIP text messages are just disabled by default in FreePBX

- No audio comes to or from the Android tablet: seems to be an issue with Jami and sipdroid
