Hi, I'm new to the forum and new to SIP in general, and looking for some guidance on the following:
I'm tasked with the challenge of setting up a "portable" SIP server for our sales department, so that they can demo our phone algorithms on the road without WAN or internet access.
The demo will be performed with 2 SIP phones (or possibly Androids w/SIP clients) both within range of the WiFi signal of the laptop hosting the SIP server.
Presumably, setting up the 3CX Phone System software on a laptop will be easy to figure out. What I'm a little fuzzy on, is the hardware I'd need to connect to the laptop to provide WiFI access to the SIP phones. I'm assuming I need some sort of access point, but what what is the most minimalistic and portable hardware for achieving this? Any tips on setting this up (keeping in mind that I'm a complete layman on the topic of networking)?
