What else do you have to study?

I am assuming basic networking and server administration is on the study list!

@@zakariafarah1101 I think at the time I made this comment I was already a Linux server admin and had been awhile. Working in programming today. Never applied for networking job though unfortunately.

@@heistking Good to know! I did Linux Administration in a previous job but my current work and specialty is network engineering. I always tell whoever listens that they get in to the IT field, it does not matter what the specialization is.

@Tom - Noticed this too!

I wonder if you found the solution to tour problem. Looking for the same thing now. Thanks

I am not Tom and look like I hijack this post, but... try SIPTRUNK.COM(I am not work for SIPTRUNK.COM, just use it for my customers for last 2 years).

Connect monitor, mouse and keyboard to computer(if you don't have it setup already). Login as root to Centos. wiki.freepbx.org/display/FPG/Firewall+Command+Line

We have some connected to UnIFi switches and others connected to dumb switches.

Google Hangouts or Zoom

Bin it you stooge

looks like RingCentral meetings (zoom)

I have a VLAN video already, and the QoS is just a few clicks to enable.

Thanks!

For the ppl who didnt see his ip, it was 127.0.0.1

there's no place like home

ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!

@@galsherp6173 LOL That is the loopback address. That is not his public address.

I installed freepbx on virtual machine and I used centos 6.5 but seems I have few features, I am not sure if it's because I am using unlicensed firmware!!

We used the Sangoma FreePBX 14 distro

I am 99.9% sure Chris chose installation with Asterisk ver 13. Asterisk 13 LTS , Asterisk 15 like experimental(short life cycle/support), next Asterisk 16 is LTS. Check wiki for more info.

Zoiper

Thanks, I'll check it out

CSipSimple(it is Free)

Should work.

Never tried them.

Lawrence Systems / PC Pickup no worries, I'll get one, and let you know if they're any good

Working, but price is not right(compare to other vendors).

?? 3 installation working with SonicWall ( TZ300, 2xTZ205). FreePBX setup with DDNS and all installation have backup internet line. How to make- SonicWall works with FreePBX: support.digium.com/community/s/article/How-to-configure-a-SonicWALL-Security-Appliance-for-use-with-Switchvox-Cloud-installations www.3cx.com/docs/sonicwall-firewall-configuration/ www.sonicwall.com/en-us/support/knowledge-base/170503552140480 www.sonicwall.com/en-us/support/knowledge-base/170504812146650

David Grishko I work with sonic walls professionally. Deal with 5 or 6 a week. Still don't like them. Big GUI. Lots of millions. But wierd terminology.

Sonic walls are fine. Work exclusively with them.

The only module I really recommend is the sysadmin one for $25. Grandstream is a nice product line, but would lose some flexibility.

I'm curious now as to what functionality you lose, care to name some? and i'll look into it

@Ressy6 what functionality is included in a Grandstream 62XX that has an equal as a paid module in FreePBX

Ive not found anything I cant do, thats all I need to convince me. SMB and enterprises, call centres, hospital, dentist, govt agencies, I've covered most simple to out there setups, even a mining town, though I've also done them on xorcom due to some of their lineup better catering for nearly 900 concurrent analog circuits (so they can offer them dsl) as well as sip points, GS's best is 200 concurrent, but the hardware is where its all at to understand the difference, I looked at multi gateway routing, but the xorcom astribanks make life so easy (though I do DETEST their proprietary telco50 wiring/pinouts) Only markup I put on GS stuff is the cost recovery of courier from supplier to me, my moneys made on install and support and cabling so I have no allegiances to any manufacturer, (most my work is installing ATA's for likes of panasonics, since in australia SIP is all your really going to have with NBN here. I use whats best for client, and me (since unreliable setups require my free warranty time, I'm not gonna use something that costs me wasting time if I can help it) Nobody has been able to tell me what sangoma paid modules can do that they cant do with GS, I'm happy to know if there's things and I cant find a 5 minute work around, since if i'm in that situation, its good to know I have options. I use GS stuff because long term reliability, and its a third the cost of most devices out there (including sangomas), unless youre talking say NEC stuff, then its monumentally cheaper :)

I got a push notification but good ol google aint showing me your comment to reply to, as to the first, wrong, its there, its called virtual queue, as to your second point, saying "apps" without giving examples, but umm I think you'll find you're not quite right there either, depending on what you want of course, but the same can be said of any system, most people have a PC /laptop anyway, desktop phones are not designed to be web browsers :) but if you want, GS do an android based phone line where options are endless

The replacement for FOP is FOP2. Last update June 4th, 2018. Same author. www.fop2.com/download.php

thats why all our SMB's love the grandstreams, everything is there, no additional costly licences.

If you get Incredible PBX then you are getting the real FreePBX without all the bloatware from Sangoma. It downloads all packages and compiles them from source. It cant be more free then that. I highly recommend it.

FreePBX - web configuration for Asterisk+some extras. You can do everything manually in config files if you have time. Buy usually time=money. Best way to save money - buy modules.

thats funny, I haven't touched a config file manually with grandstream, and all without buying modules to do something I probably already do now by default in GS's GUI. my nly gripe is, GS dont do enterprise size systems, the best we can get out of those is 200 odd concurrent calls per unit, so for large deployments we recommend the over priced xorcom units which give us 800 odd concurrent calls, xorcom is based on elsatix.

Oh come on, you're just trolling. You can run it truly free for 99% of what the average client needs.
