How to use Trixbox as a AA Server working with Panasonic key phone?
Submitted by johnny on Mon, 04/14/2008 - 1:23am.
My company has a few Panasonic Key phone system which supports both analog and digital phones.
I want to build the trixbox server working as an auto attendant server only with these Panasonic System as buying new AA servers will be quite expensive.
This is also one potential business selling AA servers to other customers.
Any one has any idea?
you can have the trixbox as

you can have the trixbox as an intercept.
if the phone system is taking analog lines you can get an fxo/fxs card.
Call->POTS->FXO->TB->FXS->Panasonic
The Panasonic thinks that the lines are phone lines, not realizing that they are actually extensions of a bigger system... (but arent all our phone lines just extensions on a bigger system???? (hmmmm))
If its using Digital, its a lot more complex, and I cant help you there, but im sure its possible.
I havent heard of a PRI or T1 FXS style; but I dont know..
Well actually there are

Well actually there are several solutions.
The Panasonic is a Key Hybrid systems, you can plug a digital phone or a standard phone set into the extensions. Does it not support feature codes on the FXS port to light MWI at any extension?
Second, does it have an SMDI interface? Asterisk support for SMDI is mature.

Well, What I want is just to use trixbox server acting as a Auto attendant server like:
PSTN Lines ==>FXO -- Trixbox Server --FXS ==> Panasonic PBX.
So any incoming calls will be directed to IVR of Trixbox, and whenever customer key in an extension, Trixbox will send this to Panasonic and respective extensions set plugged to Panasonic PBX will ring (just that extension phone set).
I tried but there are two problems so far I have faced:
I must direct all incoming call to one extension of Panasonic PBX first since there is no IVR in Panasonic PBX.
After directing the incoming call to one extension, I am not sure what I can do so that I could forward the call from this extension to the correct extension number which is supposed to ring.
Just a thought. Not sure if

Just a thought. Not sure if this will work but try:
POTS -> FXO #1 -> TB (AA) -> FXO #2 -> Panasonic Analog Extension
If Panasonic extensions are 101 - 1xx then
Create outbound routes or custom destinations for 101 - 1xx so when call comes in to AA and caller dials extension 101 have TB route 101 to FXO #2
It should connect to the Panasonic extesion and dial the destination extension.
You will need multiple FXOs connected to the Panny if you want to handle multiple incoming calls.
Its a bit of a hack, but let me know if it works.

One city infrastructure:
POTS -> FXO (~50 lines)-> Panas#1 -> PRI#1 (Cisco) PRI #2 -> Panas#2 -> PRI -> RAD IPmux-> ((TDMoIP -> RAD IPmux -> PRI -> Panas#3)&(TDMoIP IPmux -> RAD -> PRI -> Panas#4)&(TDMoIP -> RAD IPmux -> PRI -> Panas#5))
Cisco with 2 PRI ports connected to Trixbox.
Panas 1,2 - one office, Panas 3,4,5 - another offices
All Panas - TD500
just work
Is not POTS==>FXO ==> TB ==> FXS ==>Panasonic?

To Royaltg:
I guess it should be FXS connected to Panasonic instead of FXO or am I wrong?
To Victorvvv,
Thank you for your answer, but I am sorry, I am stupid that I couldn't understand what you are trying to say...
Currently I already have:
POTS==>FXO ==> TB ==> FXS ==>Panasonic, and I have used custom extensions to route 1XX to panasonic PBX, all I set all CO lines call for Panasonic to ring EXT 108,
now my quesiton is how I can ask 108 auto answer the incoming call and auto-forward to other extensions Caller wants, and hang up the call after doing all these.
I have implemented it but it's not stable

the problem is, when there is an incoming call, one extension (eg: 108) of Panasonic PBX will always pick up, and 108 is connected to Trixbox server.
However, sometimes trixbox server could not detect and answer an incoming call from 108. It works fine after rebooting trixbox server, and happens again some time.
I am using KX-TES824 to do this testing.
Any one knows why?
