Yes,

We have had it running for over a month now on one of our test servers.  It needs asterisk 1.4 but other than that it installs easily enough on SME. It has its own http server so there's very little to do as far as SME is concerned.  Just compile it and let it go.

It's a very pretty product. Whoever did the design of the HCI has done a very very good job.  As a PBX it is somewhat lacking in functionality and we personally don't like the do-it-in-the-manager architecture or the way that they've had to compromise real-time to make it run, but its not bad for a first release.  

In our opinion it will very quickly make  products like FreePBX obsolete, particularly in the domestic marketplace where FreePBX currently does very well.   It also poses big questions for A@H/Trixbox because, even in its embrionic form, it is light years ahead of the HUD interface as a  telephony surface, but it's difficult to see politically how A@H could take advantage of it bearing in mind that they are now owned by the people who built HUD.

In any event, Digium et al may have their own challenges in the domestic space.  If you want a quick, simple to install, domestic system then you might want to check out http://www.3cx.com/.  It walks all over FreePBX and the Digium GUI.  It's pretty, it runs on vista (or XP), it's idiot-proof and it installs in a couple of minutes by double clicking on the setup icon in Windows.  No messing about with Linux - it just runs.  

Interesting times

Kind Regards

Selintra

I tried the ISO version with a self installer with no luck. Can't create extensions.

There was a pending reboot and after that, it worked fine.

Thanks for your comments & links.

Title: Help with auto start and port opening
Post by: soprom on May 17, 2007, 09:45:26 PM

I got it working on SME7.

As I'm preparing to move to a new house in a few weeks, I'm planing to use a unique SME7 (instead of 4) during a few days in order to maintain mail, pbx and groupware services for a couple of users.

The only part I'm not confortable with is the port opening and the auto start at boot.

Would these commands be acceptable?

1) Start at boot
echo "/usr/sbin/asterisk"  > /etc/rc.d/init.d/asterisk
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc7.d/S90asterisk
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration set asterisk service status enabled
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

2) Port opening
config setprop asterisk UDPPorts 5004:5082   access public status enabled
config setprop asterisk UDPPorts 4569            access public status enabled
config setprop asterisk UDPPorts 10000:20000 access public status enabled
config setprop asterisk UDPPorts 2727        access public status enabled
signal-event remoteaccess-update

Thanks for any comments!
