Please accept my appologies - I've been reading through the handbook and the online documentation / mailing list archives and can't quite get my own answer to these inquiries... The biggest mystery is how the existing handsets are connected to a new machine running Asterisk.
Background:
- The phone system we have is horribly out of date and may pack-it-in any day now.
- Existing PBX system (AltiReach running on NT4) but we plan on replacing this server entirely and ditching the old PCI cards but keeping the hand sets (approximately 30 Nortel hand sets).
- We have 12 regular phone lines coming into this system
- We have satelite offices that could be VOIP after the system is implemented.
What is the best hardware configuration for this? Should we get a T1? Which cards/hardware should we use? We are currently unclear on how the hand sets connect to the system but moderately clear on how the phone lines would connect to the box. Some information sources or direct examples of how to switch from a 30 handset office to an Asterisk system would be awesome. Once we replace our current setup we will delve into the extended features/options available. VOIP is probably the most important one after we switch systems entirely.
If there is anything else I can provide to help you help me I will reply as soon as possible.
