I've got an office pbxiaf system setup for an office of about 50. Since I've built and installed this unit, Ive had no issues with the system at all.
I went with a rack mount 1u asus server and more ram and ssd than I'd need just because it seemed like a good deal.
I also installed a Digium AEX808B (8) FXO Ports - PCI Express card to have failover for their dids when/if the internet should ever go down. Unlikely since they have fiber and cable on a load balancer but you never know. I set it up and then in flowroute, I set up the phones as failover for their various numbers as is usual mo. I tested it out and it worked then I never touched it again.
We had a severe storm Friday that did fry a couple of expensive routers in the same rack that werent on ups for some reason. The phone system was on ups but the telephone pots lines were not. The backups did not work while our internet was down. Now I've got the routers replaced and the phones are back up but dialing the backup lines directly yield just a ring and no acknowledgement from the asterisk -r interface that they are ringing. Is there another way to test them?
The lines going in are fine.
