easyAsterisk can be used to deploy advanced logical configurations to cover pratically all user's needs. Some of these architectures let to exploit a lot of existing hardware (PBX, telephones, answering machines, and so on) adding easyAsterisk's advanced features without hardware relapses.

|
easyAsterisk was developed to replicate the standard PBX behaviour adding on top IP trunks and advanced performances (voicemail, IVR, meetme rooms, and so on).
This kind of solution is perfect for new settlements, when existing hardware recovery isn't a mandatory goal and it's necessary to keep costs within a reasonable range.
Phone terminals (IP phones) are connected to easyAsterisk via LAN and easyAsterisk can be configured to manage both the traditional TELCO lines (analogical or ISDN) and new IP connectivity trunks.

"Satellite" architecture helps to recover existing hardware. This kind of solution needs the existing PBX to be equipped with a digital interface (usually called S0 Bus) to connect easyAsterisk machine. Then, the existing PBX needs to be "reprogrammed" in order to use the S0 Bus - in red in the figure - to divert to easyAsterisk outgoing IP calls.
This kind of solution can be deployed when it’s mandatory to recover existing hardware or when the PBX isn't expandable. |

IP Router

"IP Router" is totally transparent for the PBX that remains unaware of its existence. One or more outgoing lines are simply "cut" inserting easyAsterisk between Telco lines and the PBX. The figure shows the simplest setting: easyAsterisk machine is equipped with coherent RTG cards to manage "incoming" calls (the PBX continues to address outgoing calls toward Telco lines, now replicated by easyAsterisk) and diverting to IP trunks. The same schema can be used to manage IP incoming calls (the PBX will receive each call as if it was coming from Telco lines).
In this way all hardware premises underlying PBX is totally recovered. Finally, the PBX can preserve a backup connection with the standard TELCO lines for temporary backup purposes.
IP Router is the technology that allow the user to build private VPN to talk between company's branches for free (almost). |
