Virtual PBX on Asterisk

[Paki]

Hello,

How to build virtual PBX, two or more, on Asterisk, or how to forbid some extension to call others?

For example, I wish to have like two PBX's with extensions from 5000 to 5050 and 6000 to 6050; frobid calling from 50XX to 60XX, but enable them both to go on the same trunks.

If you have any link or some document, please provide...

Thanks...

Hi
Virtual PBX same as normal pbx so you can develpoe as you develope noram pbx.
if you want make 2 pbx system on same asterisk that is alos possible
only need to make etc/asterisk/extensions where you make that 2 system extension.conf & that files include in main extension .conf which you get from etc/asterisk then ls
include this way
# include extension/extension50.conf
#include extension/extension60.conf


this extension 50 & 60 are 2 files for 2 diffrent pbx on same asterisk.
same way you can do for sip ,queus.conf &.....

ok any pbx extension like 5050 can make call to 6060 extension for that you have to include both extension to each other
like this way

[extension 50]
exten => 5050,1,macro(std-exten-50.5050.SIP/5050)

include= extension 60

[extension 60]
exten => 6060,1 macro(std-exten-60,6060,SIP/6060)
include => extenion 50

this will work to make call each other by extesions

try this it help you

Thanks for the reply,

but, how to disable 50XX reaching 60XX?

By not including:
include= extension 60
?

Thanks again.

Hi
yes you are correct
dont include exten 60 so any uiser from extension 50xx cant call extension in 60

try this

Hello from me again,

since I'm a bit new to the Asterisk (and using TrixBox), can you give some example of "extensions50", or somethigng similar, so I can modify. I'm bit confused with the: "macro(std-exten..." in

exten => 5050,1,macro(std-exten-50.5050.SIP/5050)

although I understand the logic beyond.


Thanks...

use asterisknow i think trixbox is limited.

Here what I have done so far...

Here with what I came up with:

in extensions_additional.conf I have add a context for the customers with the extensions 60XX (I add just one).

[customer60]

exten => 6001,1,Macro(exten-vm,6001,6001)
exten => 6001,n,Hangup
exten => 6001,hint,SIP/6001
exten => ${VM_PREFIX}6001,1,Macro(vm,6001,DIRECTDIAL)
exten => ${VM_PREFIX}6001,n,Hangup
....


In extensions.conf, in macro [macro-exten-vm] i have added logic (after the line with: exten => s,n... - book say that asterisk will chose most specific match)

[macro-exten-vm]

exten => _60XX,1,GotoIf($[${EXTTOCALL:2} = 60]?10:20)

exten => _60XX,10,Macro(dial,${RT},${DIAL_OPTIONS},${EXTTOC ALL})

exten => _60XX,20,Congestion( )

So, I'm trying ti see if two first numbers are 60, if the are I proceed call to macro dial, else, for example, I play congestion.

Is this enough, and would the same method work for 50XX on the same PBX?

Any help is appriciated.

Thanks...

I don't believe you can manage this with Trixbox (freepbx) or AsteriskNow.

You may want to look at the Multi-Tenant Edition of Thirdlane PBX Manager GUI or Thirdlane Advantage PBX at http://www.thirdlane.com. The multi-tenant edition allows you to do just that - partition Asterisk in a number of tenants (Virtual PBXs) with independent extensions, feature codes, routes, mailboxes, etc.

The way I do it is using a freepbx unsupported module named Custom Contexts ( http://aussievoip.com/wiki/freePBX-CustomContexts ).

It allows you to create various contexts for your various offices.

Good Luck!
