Hi Imel

I recently purchased a MyPBX SOHO from Scoop. After setup and with both VoIP lines registered with my provider (Telfree) I can phone extensions OK and get incoming calls OK. I’m having trouble making outbound calls though – It keeps on telling me “all circuits are busy now”.

I am using the G.729 CODEC as required by Telfree. That specific CODEC is not included (licensed) with the SOHO edition but I have bought one some time ago and installed it on the SOHO

I’m fairly new to VoIP and any help will be appreciated

Yes, SIP handsets on the same LAN logs into the MyPBX to gain the functionality of the PBX.

Hi Simon, give Connection Telecom in Cape Town a try, speak to Steve or Rob.
Their voip gateway is great and reliable.

Sorry, one other thing. Can the MyPBX with it’s IVR and call waiting etc functions do this for VOIP phones connected to the same ethernet network? Would you just configure the phone to use the MyPBX as the VOIP server?

Sorry if it’s a simple question, new to the know VOIP thing so trying to learn fast!

Thanks…

Hi,

This is great, informative article. I’ve heard that VOIP quality differs significantly depending on the service provider. Can anyone recommend one with a good reputation?

Much thanks,

Simon

Hi Gerhard, does it have to be someone based in Cape Town?
Maybe you can open up ssh or openvpn access to the box for someone to do the config remotely?

Hi, does anyone know of someone in Cape Town who can set up/maintain my Linux proxy currently running Squid?

Hi Stephen, I use dansguardian to virus scan traffic but also to filter out illegal movies and mp3 downloads.
There is also a quality issue, as I want all users to get a good connection. If someone downloads a large file (movie) then it takes all the bandwidth and all the other users get a degraded service.
I did look at darkstat but it is a bit too limited in the depth of stats it provides, but agree, it is usefull where a lightweight monitoring solution is required.
