Hello All, I have not used asterisk before and I am trying to make a plan to upgrade a phone system for a non-profit organization north of Barrie.
The current setup is a Nortel PBX with 2 incoming lines, using 6 extensions with 100-600 feet buried twisted 25-pair to each extension. Has anyone had any experience running an Asterisk VOIP system over a wireless LAN? Running cat-5 cable to many of them is not an option, there is currently a wireless network in place which may need some upgrading to become more stable. There is a main router in the same building where the current PBX is, this is where the asterisk server would be placed also. 3-4 of the extensions could theoretically be hooked up at some points through the wireless LAN if it would be a reliable way to do it. Another question I had would be that if the current phones and RJ-11 cable that is already buried could be used with the new asterisk system, and still support using two lines and the intercom function. This would save some time and money in intergrating the system and allow further development to be done later. We were looking at using ATA adapters to convert the VOIP signal to RJ-11, but with using these adapters would the same functionality of the phones be available? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank You, Steven
