[asterisk-dev] Seeking VOIP / Asterisk Guru for Small Project

[Andre Courchesne]

Hi Brian,

   I am outside the office right now but would be happy to help you. I  
have many Asterisk installation under my belt and can direct you on  
hardware, carrier and asterisk configuration.

   I will study your requirements further tonight, but I believe I  
will need to educate you a bit on Asterisk and VoIP in general since I  
saw that some of your requirements mentioned lines and intercom, 2  
things that are kinda different when your in a VoIP environment.

   What type of carrier technologies do you currently have for your  
landline (PRI, analog, SIP trunk,...)? Also what type of link do you  
have in-between your offices (mpls, vpn via internet, dedicated  
fiber,...) ?

   Thanks,

>
> Requirements for PBX phone system:
>
>    1. When we receive an incoming call, we want the ability for the caller
>    to select who they want to call and ONLY that person?s phone will ring. We
>    will likely need to configure an automated voice prompt that  
> lists employees
>    to the caller. (ie someone calls and is greeted by voice  
> recording that says
>    press 1 for Bryan and press 2 for Joel. If the caller presses 1, Bryan?s
>    phone is the only one in the office that will ring.)
>       1. In addition to requirement #1, even though a particular person?s
>       phone rings, we still want to retain the ability for someone
> else to pick up
>       the phone and take the incoming call.
>       2. We also want to have a backup if the person who the incoming caller
>       is trying to reach doesn?t pick up his/her phone.  There are two
> options if
>       this happens:
>          1. Go directly to that person?s voicemail
>          2. Go back to main menu
>       2. In addition to requirement 1a, we also want to have multiple people
>    jump in on the same line to engage in the same single conversation. (ie if
>    Bryan is talking to a client on line 1, Joel and Joey can each pick up a
>    phone and join Bryan?s conversation on line 1.)
>    3. If someone picks up the phone, they will have the ability to transfer
>    the call to someone else in the office. Transfer requirements are as
>    follows:
>       1. When someone transfers the call to someone else, the person?s phone
>       that is receiving the transferred call will ring and will
> receive the call
>       on the same line as the original call (ie if Chase wants to
> transfer a call
>       on line 1 to Bryan, Bryan?s phone will ring and when he picks up
> the phone,
>       he will pick up the call on line 1.)
>          1. If the person receiving the transferred call doesn?t pick up the
>          phone and the ring limit is met, a default action will be  
> taken. This
>          default action can either be:
>             1. Go to the person?s voicemail
>             2. Go back to main menu
>          4. We want intercom functionality to function in exactly the same
>    manner as the current phone system does now.  That is, someone on intercom
>    does not take up a calling line (ie Garrett want to talk to Isaac via
>    intercom. He will be able to do this without taking up a line)
>    5. When someone picks up the phone, we don?t want the phone to
>    automatically take up a line like the current phone system does. The phone
>    only reserves a line when the person begins dialing a number or  
> is receiving
>    an incoming call.
>    6. We also desire the ability to push each person?s voicemail to their
>    cell phone. (ie A client leaves a voicemail message for Bryan. The PBX
>    system will push the voicemail to Bryan?s cell phone voicemail so he can
>    listen and respond to it on the go.) (Note this is a bonus that is nice to
>    have but can live without)
>    7. (Bonus) If the person who is the recipient  of a call is not in the
>    office, the call is transferred to their cell phone where he/she  
> can answer
>    it
>
> If you are interested in doing the work on site, we are located in
