A Candian view on IP PBX and SIP trunks with pbxnsip

This article is written be Jason Shave. You can see Jasons article at http://jason-shave.blogspot.com/2008/09/pbxnsipcom-inphonexcom.html

......


Well its about time I wrote about my experiences with www.pbxnsip.com as a software based PBX and www.inphonex.com as an online SIP provider.

First off, I can't say enough about the support from pbxnsip so far! I was new to the VoIP world when I started investigating options for my lab environment where I wanted to build out something more than an IM and web conferencing solution. After working through many of the issues with my OCS Edge servers, I finally had an environment I could prove out all my scenarios and began looking for a software PBX.

Somewhere along the way I found a post about pbxnsip and their work with Microsoft Office Communications Server. I quickly checked the compatibility guide for IP-PBX's and noticed they were already listed on the Exchange 2007 UM site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/cc164342.aspx#supIPPBX

So this was good news!

Even though they're not on the tekVizion list of certified PBX's for OCS --yet, this was a viable option. Thanks as well to their wiki page on the subject: http://wiki.pbxnsip.com/index.php/Office_Communications_Server.

So this is what I needed to get all the software bits in place, now it was time to find a SIP trunk provider. I asked around and did some digging online and found www.inphonex.com which I think is based in Miami, FL, USA. They were able to provide me a DID based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and their rates were decent. So far I've been happy with their service even though the odd time I call my DID I get a busy signal....but not to bad for a lab environment.

For those of you who are looking for an alternative to www.inphonex.com, check out www.voiphiway.ca as they seem to have slightly better prices and have a more "trusting" web presence.

Cheers!
Jason Shave.

SIP Know Know 2

Easy 'Know How'

Questions you are too afraid to ask!

Learn some Easy 'Know How'

What is TLS?

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a protocol that is used for establishing a secure connection between a client and a server. In this case the client is your phone and the server is the PBX.

What is a Log level?

Information displayed under Log level 9 is everything that is going on with the server. Log level 0 will only report important trace. Log Level 9 should only be switched on whilst you capture the trace, on a busy system this could slow things down.

What is Loopback Protection?

With SIP, the number you call is actually sent with the domain information included (just like email). Sometimes this can cause the call to come back into the domain and therefore create a loop. Loops can come round many hundreds of time in 1 second.

What is an SBC?

Session Border Controller (SBC) is a device or application that governs the manner in which calls, also called sessions, are initiated, conducted and terminated in a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) network.

YSL takes on the streets with SIP and IP PBX

YSL takes on the streets with pbxnsip and Microsoft

YSL - a pbxnsip distribution partner in South Africa leverages pbxnsip for unified communications solution.

With the growing demand from a new generation of consumers for the ultimate in communications convenience, South African ICT innovator YSL Group has integrated pbxnsip technology into its solutions for unified communications in residential estates.

Particularly in its urban areas, many South Africans choose to live in gated communities. With many accustomed to a high standard of living, these residential estates are designed to deliver convenience and quality of life. Among the many services considered essential for their operation is high-speed internet access and the services which enhance the value of raw connectivity.

Internet connectivity has rapidly progressed from a fringe service used by the few and the privileged, to a point where for many people and especially 'Generation Y' individuals, it is as essential as lights and water.

Louis Yssel CEO of YSL Group explains that it is Microsoft-based, fully hosted Unified Communications solution for new residential complexes incorporating pbxnsip which plays a key role in enabling the integration of telephony with the Microsoft email, calendaring and instant messenger functions. "Our solution is based on providing the user with access to a full communications suite which includes email, fax, telephony, SMS, and internet access, from a single Ethernet port. One piece of reticulation delivers every conceivable Internet based service," he says.
