<div>There are a few limitations on Altigen to make it work the way we need it to. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Our Altigen system was purchased before I started working here. We have IVR menus that need DB query's and such. It is possible to do that with Altigen, but since it is closed source software, you have to pay an Altigen Developer to write the program, then you have to purchase SDK licenses (which 10 are offered with the system). For people that don't need such an advanced IVR system, Altigen would work perfectly... and if you have money to burn, you can have Altigen write it for you. For call centers, this system is perfect. It has tons of reporting tools, but unfortunately "stuff" that we don't necessarily need... and missing a few things we do need.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Altigen also only handles h.323 traffic. Although they are releasing v6.0 later this year that will be SIP. (upgrade fees also involved)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>

<div>List,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Since we have moved completely to Asterisk for our PBX, we have decided to get rid of our Altigen phone system.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm sure there are lots of you out there that deal with more than just Asterisk, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to offer it on this forum before throwing it up on eBay.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This system can send and receive calls via PSTN POTS lines, or via h.323. We have used it exclusively with a carrier that handles h.323 to terminate and originate 95% of our calls. Call quality is superb.</div>
