Quick Review of FXO and FXS

FXO - Foreign Exchange Office is the port that receives the analog line from the telephone company (Telco). It is the line coming from the wall and is the Dial Tone coming from your Telco.

FXS - Foreign Exchange Subscriber is the port that delivers the analog line to the user. This port sits in the your Asterisk PBX, and provides you with a Dial Tone and an extension number. This is where you connect an ANALOG phone (your old home analog phone).

Notes:

• Note that only the Power LED and HDD LED are used. The NIC LEDs are NOT used.
• Special IO Shield is TRIMMED to fit into the SUPERMICRO Case.

System Requirements:

• High Speed Internet Connection.
• An Static IP Address from your ISP (suggested but not a must)
• An Existing Router or Switch to accept LAN connection
• A Windows 2000 or XP Computer to use for configuring your Trixbox and your VoIP Phones.
• Basic knowledge of the WEB, Networking and Windows. Knowing Linux is a plus, but is NOT a requirement.

Default settings are applied on this PBX system. You should ensure that you have non-conflicting ports, and have administrator rights and proper access to your internet LAN, router and firewall. A Static IP is suggested to be assigned to the Asterisk PBX for easy configuration.

Default passwords are set on the system. If you change passwords, make sure you have a way of recalling your password. We cannot support any system when you do not have your password keys.

Please Read before you Order - Am I ready for VoIP?

If you are considering VoIP deployment for your company, or are responsible for the implementation of VoIP for your company - here are some basics you need to fully be aware of and understand.

Open Source Software. Asterisk is an Open Source project released under the GPL open source license for the global Asterisk Community. It is given to the community (to you and to me and to everyone else) as an open source telephony application platform. Asterisk is maintained by the Asterisk Community. There are more than one million Asterisk-based systems in use. The members of the Asterisk community or forum work to help each other answer questions, resolve issues, fix bugs, make enhancements, and develop project all within the bounds of the Asterisk open source license. Remember, you DO NOT pay and SHOULD NOT pay for the Asterisk open source software, it is FREE and guided by the GNU General Public License.

Asterisk Installation, Configuration and Deployment. To successfully install, configure and implement Asterisk, we recommend the top 3 Open Source Asterisk releases: Elastix v2.5 (and series below), Trixbox or FreePBX. You should at least have a basic knowledge of networking, firewalls, switches and routers. Although understanding of Linux is NOT a must, but a basic knowledge will help in getting you up in speed. We have seen users with zero linux knowledge yet being able to have multiple Asterisk implemented in a company. It is very critical that you understand how to properly secure your Asterisk server from the outside world. A very good resource for this is a book written by Kerry Garrision, Trixbox Made Easy, and Trixbox 2.6, Elastix without Tears by Ben Sharif, Elastix Easy by Haamed Kouhfalla, FreePBX Guide is available at the FreePBX WiKi. 

Support and Training. The object of the item listed for sale is for a Computer Server, which we help to pre-install the Asterisk PBX Project, this is set with minimal working sample configurations. Installation is NOT part of this sales, nor is training included or provided. Based on experience, most users are able to install, configure and deploy Asterisk with minimal intervention. If however you feel you require some sort of support and training, we do provide paid support via Email, Chat or Premium Voice Support. A good number of Asterisk forum members provide support for free or for a fee.

VoIP Voice Quality. VOIP performance is a function of Internet Bandwidth and Latency. Both components have to be within a certain tolerance in order for VoIP to be usable.

If you are unsure whether you are ready for VoIP, or if you have enough internet bandwidth to run VoIP, or if you simply are not sure of your competence in configuring and deploying a working Asterisk PBX, please email using the Ebay's "Ask a Seller" button with any questions, and we will be more than happy to get you the right answers before you finally decide to order your VoIP PBX.

We can help setup test accounts for you to voice test from within your office, or setup a live sample PBX GUI for you to try setting up your own extensions, or we can send you a Quick Setup Guide and see if you feel comfortable setting up the system yourself, or we can even have a loaner PBX shipped to you for you to test run before deciding to order.

In most cases, VoIP implementation and deployment is NOT an easy task -- our job is to make it easier for you. Email using the Ebay's "Ask a Seller" button for any of your questions.
