[Asterisk-Users] Re: End of migration: adding support for some analogphones

[Steven]

This is what am doing for voicemail during my transition.

My pbx send the 9 out on all calls. (made my asterisk configs easier.)
All of my extensions start with 5. asterisk extension are 56XX and 57XX, Legacy extensions are 51XX and 52XX.
I added the below lines to my dialplan.
exten => _92XXX,1,AGI(calleridname.agi)
exten => _92XXX,2,Macro(vm,5${EXTEN:2}) 
Then I set the call forward busy and no-ans, to the legacy phone's extension less the 5 pretended by a 2.
So the call forward for extension 5122 is 2122.
The above dailplan sends 2122 to the voicemail box of 5122.

This was the simplest solution I could find.

I am using FreePBX for configs, so I had to make a custom extension with voicemail set to dial zap/g2/5122 to be able to keep the configs in FreePBX.
If not using FreePBX, I think you would only have to add the Legacy extension in voicemail.conf.

    Hi,
    during gradual migration to Asterisk, I put Asterisk in front of a legacy
    Alcatel PBX:
      PRI PSTN <--> Asterisk <--> E1 cable <--> Alcatel PBX

    After successful deployment of VoIP phones, it's time to drop Alcatel PBX! 
    I'd like to keep some of analog lines to support modem, fax and some older
    stuff. What's the best choice? A channel bank or a TDM2400P card?
    Can I use a TDM2400P board together with the actual TE410P?

    Thanks

  From many inputs, channel bank seems to be the more reliable solution today as you cannot get bridging inside TDM2400 yet.
  I've been told this bridging feature is planned but not commited. 

  PS: How many users were at start connected to Alcatel PBX ? What did you do for voicemail during migration ?
