multicast server with fusionpbx

[sergio.duilio]

Dear colleagues I want to multicast about lan network with pbx fusion, is it possible? Any suggestions? Thank you very much.

Freeswitch can do it, so it is possible with Fustion.

Keep in mind, the Fusion server would need to be on the same network for multicast to work properly.
If the pbx is somewhere else ("cloud pbx") then something like a SNOM PA-1, or similar can broadcast normal sip call to multicast address.

FreeSWITCH can send out multicast using https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/mod_esf.

hi, has anyone used mod_esf functionality with fusionpbx, I am looking for an example - how to set it up. I cannot find any documentation other than https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/mod_esf
I am thinking of using paging functionality to send paging to around 125 speakers (SIP) at same time. I would appreciate any help. (edited)

I think had it working a long time ago. I found a picture from my notes.

Thank you for an example, I was looking at generating a dial plan, this is what I see -- what is the condition and action

Thanks for your help

Just go to Dialplan Manager and copy something like "is_local".

I want to try a "local" fusionpbx server onprem at the customers site, and use it as the source for the Multicast paging. Theory is they dial an extension hosted in their account, it calls to the onprem fusionpbx server , and broadcasts over a Multicast paging group with mod_efs. Question on how I would make that happen. Should I create a gateway to their hosted FusionPBX domain as the extension I want the onprem device to be called on? Would I just use the same inbound destination configuration I would use for a real DID, but just use the extension number ? Trying to displace an onprem Grandstream UC appliance with this for the PA paging functionality. I want to mimic a Sip Paging gateway with this. Any feedback is appreciated.
