2 FreePBX boxes with conference call (how to reach each other)

General Help
1

Hi Experts,

I’m newbie to FreePBX and have setup PBX in flash and working over SIP trunk and can reach to both servers’ extensions.

I’m stuck in testing conference call. I setup conference number in server1 and it’s working as expected.

How do I configure to reach conference number in server1 from server2?

Is there any how to or guide me through.

Thanks,
John

Use an outbound route. So, on box 2 put in a route ( if the conf on box 1 is 7200) that has the pattern 72XX and send the call out that trunk.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I did create outbound route but still failed to get through. The error I received is "number you dial is not in service. Following are the console message capture in server1. I dialed from one of the extension from server2.

Hi,

After checking in Asterisk console message, I manage to add DID number in server1. Now, I can reach conference number in server1 from server2.

It would have been much easier if you had put the trunk in the “from-internal” context. That would have allowed it to access the internal dial plan and the conference.

Hi SkykingOH,

Many thanks for your reply. I understand more about context now. Adding context=from-internal solve all problems too. :slight_smile:
