@stin Wow, what a great example of a struggling fellow user! I totally sympathize and want you to know that you have not done any faux-pas at all. I also understand the problem with having long posts and not wanting to miss anything. We should all feel welcome to vent our frustration among...

Thank you for your explanation. Before I go further, please let me point out a simple fact of the world of computer. Just like society, we cannot converse without agreeing to the definitions of the words we use. When any person or organization co-ops a word for their own proprietary usage, we...

I am having trouble with understanding the meaning of words used in the FusionPBX inteface. I should mention that I have a server with FusionPBX installed, and I have a Yealink W60B base station (PoE) and a Yealink W56H handset with its base. The handset base appears to be only powered by USB...

I am trying to set up Unitel Voice SIP Trunk thru FusionPBX, but I am confused. Here is what they offer: A trunk ID and/or Username A Passcode A Domain A Trunk Description I do not understand where to put these items in the FusionPBX interface. Further, they say to "Whitelist" a number of IP...

Nice points, nktech1135, so here's the answers: ISP's fiber gateway is assigned Dynamic address. Onsite I thought I had addressed that earlier. Yes, one can get a VPS with an IP address, but I fail to see how that helps with the idea of a PBX. The phones are here and the PBX would be on the...

@ad5ou, Very cool! Good thinking outside the box. I am totally impressed. That makes us stretch our minds, don't it. The possibilities may be endless as technology changes. I am going to see how I can apply your ideas. Other comments are interesting. Sure, a person can rent a VPS, but...

Thanks everyone. I always thought the issue of port-forwarding did not apply to the software, but the comment threw me for a loop. @DigitalDaz, are you saying that Caller ID is only available from the PBX? I thought it was provided by the service provider just like with VoIP. @ad5ou, "If...

I appreciate your viewpoint. However, I believe it to be incorrect. For instance, can you figure a way to separate the Customer A's network management from Friend B's network management?

@DigitalDaz, thanks for making me laugh. If you knew all the options and could think outside the box, you would probably had not said anything. @smn, yes, quite so, but not applicable in my case, nor in real business. It is something of a cheap way to do things. Shortcuts are usually a very...

@bcmike, I ran across this before and thought I'd mention it when I came back to review this. The problem with buying a domain name is not the cost for the name, but rather obtaining another IP address from your ISP just to serve that domain. That can be very cost prohibitive. In my case, it...

First of all, thanks for the replies. Much appreciated. Second, let me explain what a domain name costs. While it may seem trivial to get the name, it is useless without an associated IP address. That is where the costs come in. My ISP costs a lot for another IP address. It is prohibitive...

@DigitalDaz, you're not the only one. Here are some questions that I have from what I've read: Based upon "the setup would vary a little depending on where phones would access the pbx from and how separate the multiple companies need to be", is there a distance problem with connection and is...

Thanks, but quoted from above: "What does a home office do when the ISP only assigns one IP address that must be shared between all office systems but there are multiple phone numbers representing different businesses?" Different businesses means different companies. Thanks. Have a great weekend.

I should point out that I was lost at "context matching".:confused:

Thanks for the response. It sounds like that last is the option for me.?.? Could you put that in simpler language for me? All I know is that I have a voip provider (SIP provder?), a small server in the corner running Debian 10 and FusionPBX, and that's about all. I am not sure where to make...

I am confused about domains for the purpose of multi-tenancy. Are they necessary? Can they be namespaces? Is there a way to implement them without registering for a domain name and getting separate IP addresses? What does a home office do when the ISP only assigns one IP address that must be...

Darren, Thank you for having such useful comments and solutions. I am anxious to try the phone book. However, I was wondering if you could show that how-to video in a more useful resolution. I simply cannot make out what is on your screen, even if I change resolutions or try to zoom in. Thanks.

smn, is it best to use *.localhost or 127.0.0.1/*? I noticed you suggested *.local, but I am unfamiliar with how that would work.

It evidently has a great deal to do with it, as a matter of fact. If one uses su, it will not work. If one uses sudo su, it will not work. These are Linux 101 ways of achieving root. Sudo -i is not. That is an advanced concept, but is absolutely required by the instructions for correct...

Big thanks to DigitalDaz. Your tip solved the problem. Installed perfectly. :D sudo -i Enter I hope someone adds that missing but important step to the instruction page. It would have saved so much trouble. Incomplete instructions are worse than no instructions. :rolleyes: Thanks again.
