Hi Guys,
My VOIP experience is strictly limited to adding phones to existing VOIP systems by entering SIP details. I am however an MCSE with 8 years of experience so I'm fairly conversant with networking and the like. I recently read articles about how good 3CX was and thought I'd take a look.
Just to give you an overview of my setup and what I would like to do. We currently have a single PSTN line that we use in conjunction with some cordless DECT phones. We also have a reliable ADSL connection with good bandwidth. The ADSL router is a Draytek 2800VG which has support for VOIP systems - there are two RJ11 ports for connecting phones. We also have a couple of Linksys SPA VOIP phones available to us. We currently have a hosted VOIP account that we use for incoming calls by configuring a web client to either point to a soft phone client or re-direct to our PSTN line. What I would like to do if possible is utilise our existing VOIP account, PSTN line and the Draytek router to provide us with a better phone system.
I was hoping to configure the router so we can use it as a VOIP gateway and have the PSTN calls and the hosted VOIP calls come in through the router and also allow us to have multiple outgoing lines as at present we are limited to a single connection in the office. Once the basic system is in place I would then want to implement auto-attendant features and mailboxes and such as well as connect a couple of remote workers to us using VPN and the 3cx windows client.
I was hoping that somebody out there has a similar setup and can talk me through what steps I need to follow as well as any additional hardware/software/service that would be required for this set up to work.
I hope that all makes sense and apologies if I have used the wrong terms anywhere or caused any confusion!
Many Thanks,
Daiablo
