Asterisk setup medium office

Medium Office Setup: Example from real life

Overall system is working with Support queues(AGI login user accounts) and meeting rooms. Voicemail system is not very good need some way to configure the boxes. They really need to redo this application for more standard settings. We have MOH working without any problems. Major down is no Graphical interface. No actual working manager. Got to get them to fix the Zombie lines. (I feel it’s mainly do to our 390 and 452 phones.

It works needs some fine tuning but it works. I have nothing good to say about the Aastra phones 390 or the 452. They are not really good for heavy use like we need! The Cisco 7960 is nice to look at but in the real world it’s hard to get working and setup. If you don’t know about Linux or are able to use scripts it’s a real mess to keep up! This is where it’s being held back as a real world player!
