synopsis

Create and/or implement a telephone communication system for companies to communicate with the front desk or vice versa, for notifications, emergency and-or quick automation.

This idea was mentioned before: not only can we be informed there is a pizza delivery boy at the desk, but also other companies can benefit from a telephone/intercom system.

The cheapest setup would be SIP/RTP (VoIP); make use of the current network infrastructure. I happen to have a system with FreeSWITCH running, but it's currently in experimental mode.

Be aware that FS has a very steep learning curve, but once you get the point, you'll never want to go back (hint: regular expressions ftw)

implementation

First, I'm trying to revive my current FS box for usage on the CCC camp, make sure the set up has the following:

  • At least three extensions: editor, fieldreporter hd audio and studio
  • one or more sip trunks to EventPhone
  • visual ring/in-use indicator
  • calling queue, optionally w/ IVR and direct forward (field reporter)

todo

  • register extensions at eventphone (done)
    • reserved numbers 2871 (BVR1), 2872 (BVR2) (spelled: Binary Voice Radio)
  • (backup and) install a fresh freeswitch/FusionPBX
  • create extensions
  • backup again, for

notes

Noticeable telephone numbers:

  • 4865: SvenR
  • 2779: PsychiC (2PSY)
  • 4214: xopr
  • 5225: socialhack/Binary Voice
  • 5636: gmc
  • 6510: Ranzbak/deFEEST
  • 6581: JinX/deFEEST
  • 94214: xopr cell
  • 4891: Vicarious

future

Set up a FS/FusionPBX virtual machine for ACKspacers to play with.

Once it works, I would like to have the internal phone number 1984.. -- Vicarious
