currently I have connected all of my family members by using pbxes.org. It is an asterisk provider running ast + a modified freepbx version. If i set up an extension then I can login with my SIP phones by using the loginname bungee-1000 for the extension 1000. The prefix “bungee-” is used to distinguish between the different tenants on the same pbx System.
Now I have running an own AST+freePBX on a vServer. I want to switch all family members to my own productive PBX now, by changing the DNS A record pointing to the new productive system with the possibility to switch back immediately during maintenance. Currently I have to login to my own PBX by using the extensionnumber ONLY.
How can I change the configuration of my vServer to accept a loginname like bungee- ?
Well this way the PBXes is the main box passing calls to your other box.
You get full use of your box.
OK login at pbxes.com
create a exten now go back into the exten do down to the box
dial and change it to sip/extennumber@yourhomeserver
save it
Your box must allow for the inbound sip calls
If I create an IVR I create an inbound route for it.
say my exten on PBXes is 7000 and I want all calls which hit it to hit my IVR I create a rule for DID 7000 to the IRV I want
If you call the 1.50 a month DID I have at PBXes.com for testing it get forwarded to server in new orleans LA via my sip address ([email protected]) so no outbound charges for that “leg” of the call
That box then takes the inbound call and sends it out via SIP “FREE” trunk to my Offices / cell phone “paid”
And point the PBXES exten to the @home box (that way they get the UPTIME of the remote hosted box VM if the @home is down)
Using Vitelity and the subaccount feature they can alway have the outbound calling on both boxes.
use sip/extn@yourPBX in the dial rule and set your box to accept the call
handle it as you would any call. You can setup a inbound route based on the DID (the pbxes exten)
They get the best of both worlds FREE / CHEAP remote pbx and the @home box use for FAXes / IVR / CONFerence calling
your advice sounds promising Unfortunately I dont understand exactly your instructions. At this time all 6 existing sip phones are registered with pbxes.org. I cannot see any option in the pbxes.org interface to ‘point’ my existing ext. to my own PBX.
Additionally i cannot configure pbxes.org to use sip/extn@yourPBX as destination, I can only choose one of my existing trunks.
I think that I am totally wrong and dont understand what you mean. I want to use pbxes.org only as backup system to my own productive system with root access.
Please, could you be so kind to describe more detailed what I shall configure on my own pbx and on pbxes?
