[asterisk-users] A question about an install i have been asked about...

[Gavin Spurgeon]

Hi List...

Lets say I have been asked to do an Asterisk/Trixbox install
for an environment where 2 companies 'live' in the same...
building...

Both companies have 2 incoming Analogue BT Lines
and then have good old BT Phones plugged into them..

I have been asked to setup a VoIP system for one of the
companies and the other company has showed an interest,
There is one central Server Room/Cabinet will all of the
shared services (www,file server, etc, etc...) and I thought
of going down the lies of installing one more Dedicated *
Box into this cabinet with would service both companies...

My 1st questions are as follows....

1.) can one * box host both separate phone setups and
handle them as separate setups.. (I.e. user in company A
can not dial and internal line to user in company B)

2.) can I use a Single 4 FXO port card and reserve 2 ports
for one company and the other 2 ports for the other company?

This would also need to work for outgoing calls, all calls
made by company 1 MUST go over the 2 lines that belong
to company 1 and of course the same for company 2...

3.) How easy is this setup ? or should I just make up 2
different * Boxes, 1 for each company ?

I hope someone could shed some light on this for me
and give me some idea's..

Maybe even point me in the direction of some HOWTOs
on making a 'Hosted * Server' type setup.

Best Regards
