Hey guys,
I need some guidance on hooking up my Telkom landline into a VoIP setup.
I have a Telkom line that I'd like to convert to VoIP and have a few VoIP handsets around so that I can answer the call from anywhere including pc/iPad etc. I currently have one of those wireless handsets, but range is not great and the slab between the ground and first floor blocks virtually all signal.
Also, I already have CAT6 cables running to most of the rooms, and am in the process of installing AP's, so using the same backbone makes sense.
So from my research, here's what I need:
1. FXO gateway to get the PSTN converted to SIP.
2. Plug the gateway into my switch/router for transmission.
3. VoIP handsets to make the calls.
4. Profit????
Once it's setup I'll use the routing rules to do some least call routing to bring down costs.
stretch target is to also route my cell phone calls through the same handsets as the aforementioned slab even blocks the cell reception.
Has anyone here done something like this? Are there any gaps in my planned setup?
Any advice is welcome - and no, unfortunately I can't get rid of the Telkom line just yet..
Thanks.
